Alexander McQueen Spring 2010

Alexander McQueen always blows me away. The house never fails to send shivers down my spine and make me gape in disbelief. Every collection is like a mini celebration. The end.
To quote Rachel Zoe: I. Die.
I am in love. The beautiful construction, the excess of textures, the watercolors, even the fishscales. Really wearable art. I only have good things to say. Frank Lloyd Wright couldn't construct houses anywhere near as beautiful as these pieces. Now, it's not like Alexander McQueen doesn't always deliver (it does), but this...this is something. I'd glanced earlier, thought it was gorgeous, but was reminded by a friend about it and gave it another look. Obsessed. So, I commend the designers at Alexander McQueen, even though they probably don't really care at all.
Love, Kasia

P.S. I also commend the models for somehow balancing on these ten-inch monsters.

Ooooh....lovely.

An ode to Polaroid and The Impossible Project

O polaroid, how I love thee.
My love affair with polaroid started around age 6, when I got my first instant camera. I got rid of it...I don't know when or why, but I've recently gotten a new one, a OneStep autofocus that I'm bound to have lots and lots of good times with.
However, as a lot of you (assuming I have readers, which I don't) probably know, Polaroid's stopped the production of all of their instant film, which renders all of our ethereally lovely instant cameras useless if you're not willing to pay $20 for one box of film. I mean, I'm willing to pay that much, but it's a little bit of a stretch for anyone really.
This is exactly why you should support the Impossible Project.
The Impossible Project is an organization that's aiming to develop new instant film to work with our vintage Polaroids by 2010. They need as much support as they can get, so I urge anyone who's got any expertise in instant film to check it out at http://www.the-impossible-project.com/.
I know that had nothing whatsoever to do with fashion, but it doesn't matter. I'll do something later.
I'm going to beg anyone, anyone, who's read this to give me suggestions. What's something people are interested in hearing about in fashion, hm?
