Wanted: Benefactors

Some stuff for Autumn/Winter 2009-2010 from one of my favorites, Ann Demeulemeester.

Click images to englarge!

A double breasted cardigan that can be worn several ways (again, why didn't I think of that?!), a vest/drapery with bells, an asymmetric t-shirt. Heaven!

A couple of stuff from the men's department and that sweater. Oh god.

Some accessories and an amazing boot.

And a few looks from the men's department for Spring-Summer 2010

Leather and feathers, chain harness, black, white and beige.

Amazing! If only I can afford it. Now where can I find benefactors? Kidding!

A Life Less Ordinary

I don't filter colors like I used to, not for this post, at least.

Here's to blog about some sketches of Pinoy contempo-artist
Kiko Escora...

The artist in his studio, beside one of his works.

Some of his charcoal drawings from the previous year..

and these...

He's effortlessly stylish, too, in those Dior Homme pants and boots
+ them white Van Assche sneaks.

BONUS PIC: Kiko also does the decks as electro-rawking discojockey KIKIMACHINE.

Side Note: These are just samples of his works. There is more via www.myspace.com/kokix and www.myspace.com/manilaanimal.
(I actually just swiped every thing from there, except for the shoes and pants' pic which belongs to Style Samurai.)

P.S. - I tried to do an "art" post, tried harder to talk the talk but ended up sounding like a mindless robot, as usual. LOL.
I'm such a poser!:p
XOXO

**DISCLAIMER: I'm writing this additional note, hours after publishing this post. Because I'm not an "art" person and won't be able to do his work any justice by elaborating on it, the focus here, instead - thru casual, thoughtless blogging - is on the multi-facets of this man's thingy as artist/painter, "musician" and stylista. Ergo, it's very appropriate to conclude that when I grow up, I wanna be Kiko Escora.

To Fancy Givenchy...

It's not intentional to do another post on shoes and more stuff from lux online shop LUISAVIAROMA right after another. It's just that I caught myself holding my breath when I laid eyes on these. Oh come 'on, do this with me. :D

Yesterday's News Today (HK Spring/Summer Sale!)

What's your shoe desire at the moment?

Imelda Marcos has a gazillion of shoes. I ain't diggin' her Blahniks that much. On a kind of different note, it's already sale season in Hong Kong and I have to decide on which shoes to conSOLE myself with. Went on an online-window shopping spree for Spring/Summer shoes and these should help narrow down the options.

RICK OWENS

BONUS PICS: Seriously considering Rick Owens’ S/S un-shoe shoes. They’re so out-of-the-box. (But then, of course, we can never tell. I just might end up with a different pair.)

I know this isn't exactly new but I love clothes that are circular and can be worn several ways. So I think this is right up my alley. I don't know what the Japanese eat but there must be something in their food that makes them come up with good ideas that makes one go, "Why didn't I think of that?" I know, I know this is just a T-shirt. Blah, blah, blah. But me likey.

M&Ms

I'm not a big fan of chocolates or candies but I like Rick Owens so maybe this one I'd touch. Rick Owens + gray and white M&Ms? Why not?
