The colour and the shape

The Burberry Prorsum menswear collection was shown earlier today in London (of all places) and it would be an understatement to say that people liked it.  It's quite delicious.  Burb's is a huge International Power Brand but this collection returned to pay homage to its roots, the real British quirkiness of where it all began.

I couldn't help thinking about Hockney as I started flicking through the shots and subsequently read that the theme for the show was "Writers and Painters" - namely Alan Bennett and David Hockney.. (Jinx! Maybe something about the first model made me think of Hockney? I don't know)..

It's a stunning vivid collection of looks; grown up but boyish, tailored but casual, vibrant yet harmonious. Hip hip hooray!

Oh my lord Mr Ford!

One of my favourite shows from this season was Tom Ford.  Sexy and fun, flesh and fringing, colour and monochrome - it smacked more of Yves Saint Laurent than Saint Laurent - which is ironic given that Tom Ford was Creative Director at YSL for a hot minute a few years ago (Yves didn't like his work much though apparently).

I love the carnival of life that these clothes represent.  What a riot.

Lust, Caution #3

Is it a boiled sweet?  A stone wrapped up in foil?  A clutch made of metal?

You got it in three!  I found this sculptural beauty from Benedetta Bruzziches on ModaOperandi and now I just want to wrap everything I own in rose gold paper and have done with it.  If only my life fit in to a bag this size instead of the amorphic sack that I'm currently carrying around with me.

Yours for only $1,090.  Delicious!
