When editorials go wrong - After School for InStyle Korea

 
After School - in Burberry SS2010 - for InStyle March 2010

Overload of cuteness doesn't mean it is going to look good...

It's funny because the models during the fashion shows are, for me, the ones doing the worst job as ambassadors for the clothes.
It may be due to the fact that I'm not seated at the front row and the details don't translate well in the pictures or that the models could as well be replaced by cardboards and we would not see the difference, I don't know....

I usually have to wait till I see the collection on a real person ( ie. with a real body) or in a editorial to appreciate the clothes and see the collection from another perspective.

Unfortunately here, I feel the stylist did a bad job, because after seeing this editorial, I don't feel like seeing more of the collection .

I remember about how I gushed over the collection back in September and how I dreamed about owning the glitter trench after seeing Kate Hudson and Lee Da Hae's editorials ...
Now I kinda wish this editorial would just disappear. It ruined it for me.

손담비 (Son Dam Bi) - 미쳤어 (Crazy)

Son Dam Bi is not your typical k-pop idol.
She became popular after someone uploaded a video of her dancing on the web and was quickly dubbed the female Rain of Korea.

I think what I like most about this song is the fact that it is produced by Brave Sounds, who are also  behind some of U-Kiss songs, but also her trademark dance move in the video,the head wave (by Daesung in the gif below), is simply just too addictive.

G-Dragon in BCBG Max Azria FW2010

It's been a long time since my last fashion set but as soon as I saw this top, I had a feeling it would fit Mr. Fashionita number 1 aka G-Dragon so well, I just knew I had to open Photoshop and suffer to make a "fake" collage of a fashion set...
The BCBG Max Azria show took place on the second day of New York's Fashion week, so Friday, but I've been away this week-end so I could only work on it today. I hope you'll like it :)

R.I.P. Alexander McQueen

I couldn't believe it when I read this morning that Alexander McQueen commited suicide.
The Daily Mail is reporting that Alexander McQueen committed suicide. A source at McQueen's office confirmed the suicide, saying, "It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family." Details of his death have not been released yet. [...]

I think I'm still in shock... When I think I was just browsing  his spring 2010 collection not so long ago after I saw Anna Paquin at the S.A.G.
To one of the most creative designer of the last decade... Rest in peace.
