I'm at that stage where I can't decide whether to grow my hair or cut it shorter, I don't think I would cut it any shorter right now since I miss having semi long hair. I found some images on UK hairdresser to help me decide better.



The picture on the left is what my hair looked like until I cut it into a bowl again, the shaven bits are growing out slow so it looks akward but the top layers of my bowl cut hides it.

Willhelm!!




Bernhard is just one of those designers that blows my mind away, not so much in a good way kind of like wow what are you on when you come up with these designs?!. But he never ceases to amaze me with his signature designs, its almost quirky and playful with a hint of comicality and the same goes for Walter Van Beirendonck & Henrik Vibskov. I haven't been a fan of Bernhard for very long, I only came into realization when he designed the rainbow dress for Bjork during the making of her Volta album. In this collection he favors alot of camo and the use of the orange material which reminds me alot of the colour Buddhist monks use in their robes. He is by far one of the most experimental designers I've come come across. Hes doing his own thing and that's what it should be about.

Simian Epidemic




For some reason Christopher Kanes explosion T- shirts didn't wow me as much as his primate print T-shirts.
Possibly due to the reason of Ksubi who already came up with the mushroom cloud T-shirts earlier. Though I would like one of these wicked T-shirts, the colours are highly saturated being such a bold statement it'll definitely go with any pair of jeans! or even an unzipped leather jacket over it. I dont know about you but thats how I'd wear mine. Gimme the baboon thanx!

Unknown Geniuses

I came across these two items today on the net, having no idea who made them but tell me if you do.




Especially the shoes cause they look wicked!

Wu Yong "Useless"



Ma Ke a chinese born designer who was nominated for her "Wu Yong" collection, which launched in 2007 in Paris. The voluminous, sculptural garments that make up "Wu Yong" celebrate form over function and beauty before practicality (the title "Wu Yong" translates to "Useless"). Some have described Ma Ke's work as "anti-fashion," but we see her following in a long tradition of highly creative fashion that is often more esoteric and conceptual than wearable.




Ma Ke says she is more interested in creating, "things which are the bearers of values for the future." On this basis she rejects fast fashion trends and only works with artisans using hand looms.
Alot of her work reminds me of Kawakubo & Yamamotos pret-a-porter show in October 1982 which was held in paris.
