Ferris Plock

Fecal face is one of the best websites in the world i swear. Ferris Plock is one artist that I found on there and he does the best little drawings ever.

Sweeeet right? In a kinda scary monster way. http://www.ferrisplock.com/ theres his website where I got these pictures and where you can see more of his work.

I'm off now, cause I had a late night last night and as it's mothers day I have to cook a roast dinner. A FREAKING ROAST DINNER!

Another fashion related post, now with extra declerations of love

Hello everyone. I know the posts have been extremely fashion related recently, but now all the fashion shows are over it will become much less i promise. The shows have been good this season non? Especially Hussein Chalayan.FUCKING SPACE YEAH! The sleeves make this dress, ok so there is wicked cool space explosion powder stuff and then you see the sleeves and it's kinda hard to guess whats going on there. They remind me of spaceships, which i guess is the angle that hes taking. I love how it's not on the shoulders either, cause that ship has sailed, its all about arms now.Beautiful. I love how he has re-created stars and nebulas and stuff in absolute sparkle genius, plus the sleeve is coming in again in the last dress, and those GLASSES! They say mirage, which i had to zoom in mega loads to see. I think I might go to a joke shop tomorrow to try and find some other word ones, they are just so cool. Hussein Chalayan is up there for me now, although some of the other pieces in the collection remind me heavily of chloe, but thats just because they use similiar colours i suppose.Bloody love the shoes though, shiney and brown and simple. Laaaaavely! I'm going to hunt for some similiar ones tomorrow, doubt ill find any though.

I love the whole collection, it incorporates so many looks and styles in one show. He is a true british institution, long live Chalayan!!

Versus

My first EVER post was about Christopher Kane working with Versace to create the Versus line, in which I wasn't particularly nice about what he was saying or how he acted around Donatella Versace. But now that Versus is actually out I think I may have to take back some of my criticism (only some, not all ok?)It is totally what Kane was talking about all those months ago, still the Versace look, but for the youth yeah? I love the shoes most of all, plus the dresses are all a cute length and the flare of the skirt looks really flattering. Also the caging on some of the dresses is restrictive but as it's in silk it still looks gentle and soft. Ohh juxtaposition there!
I really like the collection, there's an obvious connection between each of the pieces which I love and the colours are really luxurious and attract the eye in a way which is quite subtle rather than too crazy.
I'm tired so I'm going to go now, byebye

Marc Jacobs...why oh why?

Alrighty. I should be doing german oral (hehe) revision right now but whatevs. It's only tomorrow or whatever.
Anyway Marc Jacobs F/W...what the flip is going on.
WHAT?!! When I was flicking through the show pictures I was just astonished. I'm a huge fan if things that are so ugly they're nice, but this is taking the biscuit. The coat in the second picture looks like a matted, jumble sale, suede, OAP jacket. and not in a good way. The coat in the first picture could be ok, but there are weird shiny bits on it and the shaggy fur is just gross. Actually looking closer I'm not sure if it's a coat or a suit because the fur changes colour on the skirt bit, but whatever it is, I hate it. Jumper in the last picture is quite nice, but why pair it with that skirt? It just seems to have ruined what could have been a good outfit.
BUT...

All hope is not lost! I adore these two looks, and there's a couple of the other long flowy dresses that I like, but these are my favourites. I love how they have paired the thin grey socks with the flowing nude fabrics, they are two of my favourite colours together and this just hits the nail on the head.I find it so fascinating that in the same collection you can have clothes which are polar opposites and have something so beautiful alongside something which looks like it's from a car boot sale!
