Lol, Werewolf Lagerfeld

Twinkle by Wenlan Fall RTW 2010

Ah this is going to be such a bitter sweet Fall RTW season for me for obvious fashion tragedy reasons. It's really hard to motivate myself to write this but anyway, from the recent shows I was very impressed with this one. Especially the large sweater dress (the back looked amazing, so detailed! and the tights? yesplz) and the last dress of the show. And those shoes! Everything about this collection was very clean and had some wonderful tailoring. I loved it. I mean, of course, there are some pieces I'm not so hot for but hey, it happens - the majority of them I thought were wonderful. Overall I thought it was executed very well.

WHY.

Found out yesterday morning and I literally did not believe it.
I denied it.
I fought against it.
And it wasn't until shown multiple articles on an ipod touch that I could even fathom such a thing.
I will never be able to get over this.
Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever.
The world has lost a genius.
It's adored pink sheep.

The coolest manga ever.

so because I was angry at the advertisement world I decided to look up some art and while browsing for abstract things I found this manga called Abstraction by Shintago Kago. It was the coolest craziest thing I've ever seen. Look it up, read all of it NOW.

disclaimer: uh. it gets graphic. so if you don't like that kind of stuff then don't read.

Spending money on USELESS THINGS are not part of MY core values.

At first one is drawn into the visual appeal and aesthetics of this what with the use of interesting text and music. Very eastern, very Buddhist. Or so it wants you to believe. I, again, am disgusted. I respect the cinematography of the ad, I do, but it's just that this is an ADVERTISEMENT. This is for a huge industry, for superficiality. What I'm disgusted at is the attempt to gain credibility and trust of an audience with the inappropriate usage of these settings, music, typography, and ideals in general.

buying expensive luggage will not enlighten you.
buying expensive luggage will not assist in your journey.
buying expensive useless things will not bring you peace.

In the end I'm just fed up with these misleading advertisements that many people so easily accept. I have a serious problem with this ad because there is nothing ZEN about SPENDING ALL OF YOUR MONEY for SOMETHING YOU DON'T NEED. I mean a pair of LV earrings are what? Two hundred something dollars? I mean, really.

MCDONALD'S IS EVIL

I'm disgusted; shame on you Japan! By the by, I have nothing to say to someone who is not disturbed by these. I'm sorry but Ronald McDonald (who has always been a downright creepy, if not pedophilic, clown) suddenly transforming into beautiful people is beyond unnerving. It's repulsive.

"Five of the world’s top pastry chefs make the world’s finest chocolates that you can not only eat, but wear. Each competitor designs an evening dress made out of chocolate for a chance to win $10,000. If they want to stay in the running to win their dress has to make it on to a live model and through a real runway show. This competition pushes each chef’s creative limit as they not only test their chocolate skills, but also their sewing and fashion design knowledge." -Food Network

So this is on TV right now.
I'm not watching it currently but I will for the outcome - apparently there will be models who have to go on the catwalk with the contestants dresses. I'm very intrigued lol. What intrigues me even more is what I found after looking this up. Sorry Food Network, the chocolate runway idea isn't anything new. In fact, it's been done quite a few times. There was a runway collaboration with Hershey's, recently there was a show in Shanghai where models were adorned with chocolate pieces as well, even ANTM had pieces with chocolate! I mean really, just googling anything from chocolate runway to chocolate couture will come up with a wide range of results. I wonder what's next, Flying Spaghetti Monster dresses?

Anyway, here's a video of some chococlothes.


edit Just saw the final products. They made a flapper girl dress completely out of chocolate and made it look like beadwork. It was actually really cool and technical, I appreciated it. I'm still skeptical towards all this foodfashion though. I mean, if something comes out really nice it's just a shame to watch it either melt, decay, or be eaten.
