fashion week en paris is off to a wild start
[more on that later].
these are a glimpse of my initial and i dare say, wearable, covetables for fall........

1+5+7
vivienne westwood makes me want to cause trouble on a picnic with her sling shot necklace and sunday day dress...and then simply toss on the gold number and some kohl for a studio54 kind of woopla of dancing and schmancing...wake up the next morning for a balls out brunch of gossip and gall.

2
yojhi yamamoto makes shy cool like aly sheedy and bloomers to boot.

3
junya wantanabe's flowers are my top picks for this supposed new 'trend' in florals.. fuck this springy shit that are all up en vogue right now. let's get all moody-drapey-polish scarf about it and stop all the trippin'.

4+9
maison margiela was spot on with the snakeskin accessories, and slaphappy symmetry..not sure i'd ever leave the house in tights but if i did, this would be how.

6
and while i really don't like the top half styling, the comme de garcons skirt is an army navy delite.

catalyst:circa 2006:portobello rd


i was there when this 'star crossed lovers' bit was begun. ms. barthelme and i were bumbling down portobello with stolen glasses of wine, mine white, hers red. i'd been at the pub writing postcards i probably never sent. we snuck out our glasses under coats and in topshop hobo bags, respectively. we took polaroids to remember.
on the right side of the street were two shaggy haired blokes with guitars. generally a point of interest. we got to talking, they bought booze. we went back to her flat. the serenading began. his name was jack, intially known only as naked boy for his lack of inhibitions. a love and a band name were formed.
we've gotten her in the i heart ny now, and he's made a video that abstractly depicts their walking lovestruck.

naked and the boys can be found on myspace and in around'n'about east london
