Domestic Geometrics

Of COURSE I didn't go to the show as most peeps know,Monster Beats Butterfly, Balenciaga is a fortress that most people won't ever conquer.  Buuuuut... and I'll maintain this, a resee of the collection in the showroom is pretty awesome too, not least because touching the fabrication feats that Nicholas Ghesquiere pushed in this collection is pretty crucial to understand what the heck all these domestic textures are all about.  I snapped some of my favourite bits and bobs from a collection that had so many strands going on that it's basically a fabric fetishist's joy to go through on the rails... puffed this,cheap handbags, cut-out that, padded stuff, embroidered bits.  Oh and all in a colour palette that bounces off an off-kilter and so-wrong-it's-right exuberance.  From catwalk images, my impressions were that at times, pieces seemed like they were forward-thinking for the sake of being forward-thinking.  It wasn't until I saw the pieces in person that I fully got the point of riffing off domestic surfaces and textures...

That said,Replica Radar Sunglasses, the shoes were an instant winner for me with Pierre Hardy probably taking the shoes to an all new maxed-out high.... so of course, it was no hardship to see them up close in the flesh... yes, they're heavy but I'm most tickled that even the most complex of designs will be making it onto the shop floor, mismatched blocks et all...

Pop Out More

,Coach Backpack black

>> This isn't a direct continuation from the outfits beforehand where pop pink were playing off against laser blue.  I did tone it down a bit for a day when it was pissing down with rain.  Then on Sunday, the sun came out and all was 'popping' again (in quotation marks because it was other people who said the colours were popping.  This Louise Gray A/W 09 dress is part of my Louise Gray Lovin' order that I was so excited to get after making the order back in.....May?  It was the silk velvet devore colours combined with the pink that did it for me...

Smiles All Round

Japelle1 JAP ELLE COLLAGE

>> Sluggish Bank Holiday post-Istanbul slump has left me with no option but to turn to flashier memories.  I mean FLASH as in camera flash as opposed to bling because I forgot I had been sitting on these extra shots from the Elle Japan shoot I did a while back for their September 'London' issue.  As you guys know, I'm always keen to participate in anything that promote my beloved Laaaaaaandon and all that it offers so again, we went around some shops in a similar vein to the Time Out article with Jackie Dixon of Show Me Your Wardrobe as photographer and giant-flash welder.

Shoots like these are of course an excuse for me to go to treasure troves like Merchant Archive AGAIN and raid the rails for some dressing up...

The next natural stop an perhaps as an anti-thesis to the beautiful Merchant Archive is Machine-A where things take a darker and complicated turn... their roster of new designers is always in constant flux so that I'll always discover something new every time I'm in there.  When we did this shoot, this was when I discovered the likes of Yasmin Kianfar and Manuela Dack hence the ensuing posts.

Oh, and I got to see how many steps I could take in Gabriella Marina Gonzalez's towering lace-up wedges before needing assistance.  Actually, Ella from Machine-A was at my side as I hobbled along.  Was feeling something like a 19th century Qing dynasty concubine...

A little late in coming but perfect apt to shower the slow-mo Sunday with some toothy, flashy smiles... I almost expect a little twinkle to appear with perhaps a slogan....

"Make your day a better one...

With Merchant Archive and Machine-A..."

Heading to Violetville

Violetville2

>> I mentioned yesterday that vintage sellers are just narrowing the search down to a mere five minutes browsing time and one more has joined the migration from eBay store to e-store where bids are a thing of the past i.e. I may no longer have to set my alarm at odd times in the morning to get what I want (I always oversleep those eBay alarm alerts anyway...).

I'm sure most of you will be familiar with Violetville, whose items on eBay invariably crop up, WHATEVER I'm searching for.  18 pages on her eBay store, and a mix of Buy-it-Now options as well as traditional biddable items is testament to the amount of stock that Tina regularly buys in.  That her items are very often "actually old", as in older than fifty years often makes me wonder where she gets her stash from.  I'm making this all sound very mercantile and slightly like an underground drug's den but I am genuinely always impressed with Violetville's commitment to vintage that is special, dramatic and well, old. 

She too has made the transition to the big e-shop screen and it's about to launch today I hear...  here's a sneak peek of the site but for now, it's just a ticking clock of vintage clicking. 

Violetville

There's already a lot on the site though she says there's still a lot to add... I'm dashing out but this is just a note to say, "Hear ye Hear ye!  Another vintage e-store is a cometh!"
