JEN KAO

I'm not dead! I promise! Just busy! I was on StumbleUpon the other day (get one! they are soooo addicting!) and it took me to the Jen Kao Spring 2011 RTW collection. I've never heard of the designer (maybe I live under a rock....)(as far as I can tell I don't though) but I LOVE this. It's so flowy and beautiful and check out the shoes!!! I wouldn't mind a pair of those knee high sandals. My favorite part? The green pants and the green shorts, I would DIE for those!!!!

Today I totally rearrange my room (finally!), I really like it. I wish my walls were white though (they're kind of light purple). It's a total mess now, I'm gonna go clean it.... yay?

Viktor & Rolf

I have grown an obsession with Viktor & Rolf. I don't know what it is about them but as I watch the videos of their shoes on style.com I am in complete awe. And when I don't like a collection in the beginning like the self-lit show or the ballroom dance show, they always redeem themselves as the show goes on. When I first watched this year's fall RTW show I was mesmerized by the layers and how amazingly they fit together but I then found out that in 1999, Viktor & Rolf had done a show of the same sort. They made a Russian Doll, by layering the clothes as they did this year. This in no way takes away from the beauty of this year's show but it does (for me) take away some of the innovation. Good bye, as I go and stalk more Viktor & Rolf stuff.

P.S: Their website is really cool but I haven't really explored it yet (HERE).

EDIT: Apologies for taking up a lot of your life with these videos ;)

oh.my.god. (i apologize these pictures aren't in order). the show starts with red and green contrasting colours and the models disguised as robbers. it looks like christmastime on the runway. next we switch to red and black with a few stray colours, stripes and funny patterns interest my eyes as they flip back and forth through the infinite pieces on each outfit. then the runway turns earthy, dull (but still interesting) greens and earthy yellows pop out from nowhere for only four looks, and after that is vibrant blues and long flowy stuff. after that there are a few random pieces that i don't understand, you can see them from the link above. next we have standard black and white, like backwards suits with ties, then pink and white with patterns and corsets and fantastic patterns, then grey and black, where some of my favorites come from, in these six grey and black looks there are six different styles, six different feels, and six AMAZING outfits. continuing with the black we turn to purple and black starting with wonderful flowy skirts and ending with an ankle length shiny dress. guess what's next??? YELLOW and black, with patterns (lots of them) and fur, and pink boots, the show ends with black and white again starting with a HUGE layered gothic black dress and ending in jail, right where the robbers and the beginning should end up.

this video are the style.com highlights of paris fashion week fall2010 rtw (ready to wear). my favorite quote:

"It's a bit like we are the Willy Wonka's of the fashion world" - rolf snoeren, one of two designers for viktor & rolf

i'm willing to bet to guess which one he is!
