dopplegänger of pop & rock

Okay, so we're shaking it up a bit here...

If anyone knows me, I'm the type that loves minimalist/silhouette focused fashion and I tend to shy away from costume-like pieces. But I couldn't help myself with what recently went down the runway for Gaultier. 

Just in time for October and your Halloween costume inspiration! [sort of kidding...]

I'm a pretty big ass fan of Ziggy Stardust/David Bowie. So, this post is a must. And there's more to see of this collection! I just picked out Ziggy, Madonna and Michael Jackson for the first picks to get you in the mood!

old world

Dusted off some old images for a bit of historical inspiration

Let's grab the (virtual) suitcases & do a little time travel to get some old world looks - long lengths, retro suiting, full gowns, metal plating details and baroque-like embellishments and styling. We love it all!

dungarees: celibacy trousers/farmer-chic (?)

When the price tag of a pair of denim overalls reach the price of $300-$500+ you know the fashion industry will describe it as: utility-chic, tom-boy cute, high-fashion farmer, refined rustic, luxe-grunge or whatever oxymoronic phrase with the addition of the word "chic" to dampen the loudness of the attire to help convince consumers/prospective buyers. 

I call it a nice healthy reminder of 90's fashion and I do not completely oppose the flashback since I honestly do own a pair from my 90's life today. Sports bra, heels, silk blouse, lace, leather, naked skin, bikinis, crop tops, blazer, tee... As you can see, the combinations are numerous.

Accept the challenge of wardrobe dismount/going to the bathroom
Not always totally justified, but why not? - Just do it better
