CATHY HORYN FINDS S/S 2011 MENSWEAR "WIMPY"

ALEXIS MABILLE S/S 2011

Cathy Horyn, famed fashion journalist and critic, wrote a little something for the New York Times ... these  types of backlashes only reaffirm my belief that any act of genius (or any relevant art form in this century) does not go unpunished, and so what? Bring it on.

And just for good measure:

POSTCARDS FROM PARIS

ACNE S/S 2011





I love ACNE!

GIVENCHY S/S 2011






Sure to be a controversial collection, Riccardo Tisci dreamt of murderous clowns, Tarzan and Hannibal Lecter for spring! I love anything M. Tisci does, so count me in.

PARIS: RICK OWENS, COMME DES GARÇONS

RICK OWENS S/S 2011

Rick Owens didn't stray too far from his signature look for this collection, and that is more than acceptable.


I LOVE this bracelet!


COMME DES GARÇONS S/S 2011

Rei Kawakubo gave us skulls. Skulls on suits, shorts, shoes, heads and dresses!





Alexander McQueen famously confessed his love for Kawakubo, citing her as the only designer worth paying for. I see her use of the skull-print as a quiet homage to McQueen. Do you?

PARIS: BEHOLD, THE MAN-ROMPER

ALEXIS MABILLE S/S 2011

Paris: the icing on the cake that is fashion week. Rick Owens, Riccardo Tisci and the amazing Alexis Mabille all turned out exquisite collections; I'm very fond of Monsieur Mabille's prissy tree nymphs. What could be more exciting than this:





I detect mass hysteria around this collection, kind of like BALMAIN-ia 2009.

SECOND HAND: Alexander McQueen, which recently named Sarah Burton creative director in the wake of the founding designer’s death, also has tapped another key talent, WWD has learned.Pina Ferlisi — who has been creative director of Generra and held senior design posts at Coach, Gap and Marc by Marc Jacobs — has been named creative director of McQ, the licensed secondary line for which the Gucci Group-owned house has big plans.

Interesting ... Wonder what this will look like.
