Next Christmas I hope to find a Punk in my Pudding

After dearly desiring those s/s2010 Miu Miu collars, I, like every other cheap bastard bought a too-big second hand shirt and decorated it myself. I attempted the cat, and, failing dismally went for a more Vivienne Westwood 07 thing. (Which will probably remain my excuse for every failed drawing for the rest of my life.)

Vivienne Westwood ready-to-wear Spring 2007

Ugly shirt lead to a stand alone collar. I had fun with it on Christmas day paired with this gorgeous Therese Rawsthorne dress.

Ah, but every business day must come to an end. Off with the collar - with an expression that says both "too much champagne" and "there is uneaten Christmas pudding with My Name on it".

-Yay! Party with Viv and Pamela-

PS. How cute does smiling Lindsey look at the top!?

I Bloody Love this Barney's 2010 Fall catalogue. Shot by Walter Pfeiffer and starring Lindsey Wixson.

I very much like how engaging it is, how turning the (figurative) page is fun.

I'm sorry I have nothing more interesting to show, but today was long and hard, and it seemed like a good idea to make myself feel warm and fuzzy with cats and Lindsey Wixson

Let us consider Miu Miu Spring 2011

Exhibit # 1 - Swan Dress:

Heaven! Bit of an awkward length, but that silkiness, the black setting off the swan, those greens, a chunk of pleats - delicious

Exhibit #2

 Snake dress, no wonder Eve was naughty, look at the fluoro pleats and the snake peeking at her fanny.

Exhibit #3

 Cute cut outs, but a bit of an odd paper bag effect,

and now comes the down-turn

Exhibit #4

A dress that makes Abbey Lee Kershaw look likes she's trying on her busty aunty's negligee? No! It all clashes, but not in a fab way, in a strange baggy way - the whole thing makes me uncomfortable.

Exhibit #5

ick.

In conclusion, this collection troubled me. Too much glitz with not enough glam.

It makes me feel like Miuccia forgot about Miu Miu and threw together this mash of Ziggy Stardust and nanna wear too late, and with ill consideration. Obviously there are some singularly gorgeous pieces, but as a whole, the collection felt strained.

I saw a photo of Lindsey Wixson smiling the other day. It was fantastic - like this collar and unlike the bulkiness of the jacket body.

Oh swanny swan, swan about with me
