indigenous exquisiteness

Close to my skin
I'm a falling in
Someone who's been

Disasters are
Just another star
Falling in my yard

Alexander Wang S/S 2010

Wang manages to transition typical stylistic faux pas (such as matronly grey work-out wear and tying heavy garments around one's waist) into chic sportswear by allowing these elements to showcase the female form in unexpected ways. The muted colour palette of subtle taupes, olives, and greys adds an aspect of understated sophistication to some of the heavier shapes and fabrics. Voluminous, rounded shoulders and an emphasized waistline creates an aggressive silhouette that is offset by exposed midriffs and slouchy pants. Billowing gussets of flimsy gossamer overlay juxtaposed against leather detailing and athletic stripe patterns makes for an unconventional approach to eveningwear. Fun accessories like the coveted Cat Eye Frames (drool!) and Leopard Slides gives the collection a touch of Wang whimsy.

utterly crushed

nothing like pouring your heart soul into a final project and having a prof lambaste it in one fell swoop.
perhaps I'm being too much of a drama queen, but suddenly I'm craving validation for my paltry efforts.
woe is me

... too much? I couldn't resist. I long to live in a world where such exquisite frivolity reigns supreme.

Art binges make real life seem OH SO blasé.
