melancholic

i felt the need to take a break from my art history paper on ancient chinese culture to look at Dazed's featured photographer, yulia gorodinski. the ex-military secretary runs a one-man show, taking only self portraits and processing and editing her photographs herself. she describes her art simply as "melancholic"

and now back to the six dynasties....

i can't walk in a vacuum

i am being spoon fed vanilla bean ice cream mhmmm

I've been eating with a good friend who said
"A Genie made me out of the earth's skin"
But in spite of her she is my birth kin
She spits me out in her surly blood rivers
All the people life lurking in dominions of a hot Turk dish
If the elephants be reaching for our purses
Then meet me after the world with the shivers

cynthia rowley

my first show: cynthia rowley at new york fashion week s/s 2010

i usually wouldnt say that cynthia rowley defines my style but i was very impressed and inspired by this collection. I loved the simplicity of everything: the subtle cuts and cleanly structured shapes, the faded pastel colors, the minimalistic ensemble especially the hair, mixed with the occasional bold, geometric cut outs and accessories. besides the fact that i found each the shape of each shift deliciously easy and refined, my favorite pieces would have to be the sheer, short sleeve t shirts (seen open and cardigan-like in pictures 3 and 9 and closed, pull-over style in picture 7). the show was topped off by a soundtrack that, for lack of better words, sounded like a secret agent theme song, adding a daring aspect to an otherwise feminine collection. 

the few things i didnt like: heads in the way (especially bald) and unreliable cameras

but all in all, bravo cynthia. and thank you for the adorable goodie bags of cynthia rowley decorated bandaids. they are almost too cute to use

 watch the entire show at: cynthiarowley.com for images much better than mine
