SUNDAY MATINEE ♥ EDITH HEAD...OSCARS

...REPRESENT OKLAHOMA! I can't believe on the entirety of YouTube, the only kind of sort of documentary on amazing multi-Oscar winner for costume design icon Edith Head is from some fashion kids...in Oklahoma! (Respect!):

Today the Oscar stuff happens. But I think it's going to be a waste of my time to watch the gowns because it's so boring these days with the styling. I hope I'm wrong. But I thought of Edith Head (you can see previous film posts here featuring her work), whom I knew of since I was a kid. My mom used to talk to me a lot about her when I was little. She must have loved her work, too. And I did watch a ton of old movies grow up (and still do) especially the ones Edith Head worked on. I also own the Edna Mode doll which is amazing. Edna Mode is the designer-of-super-hero-costumes character in the film The Incredibles. The doll is interactive and critiques what you wear and silly fashion things like that. Anyway...rambling. Happy Oscars! (Let's keep our fingers crossed that 2012 brought with it risk-taking, have-their-own-style actors...like when Barbara Streisand won for Funny Girl and Cher wore that black Bob Mackie native outfit. I'll do posts on Bob Mackie and Cher's iconic Bob Mackie outfits soon.)

This video below is kind of weird, but it shows how the doll interacts with you and says all these amazing fashion things. (And one more thing...you can tell how old fashioned the people running ABC/Disney are because, after all this time, they STILL aren't doing a live stream of the Oscars. You still can't watch it online in real time!) Happy Sunday!♡

SATURDAY SHOW ♥ BYE BYE, RAF XX :(

It must be very hard for Raf Simons to step off the Jil Sander train after so long. But he sort of has to and I'm sure he's fine to do it...because the legend herself is coming back to sit at her thrown. Jil Sander will be overseeing her own namesake house once again. Very major change for the label/brand and for the future of this. Can you imagine if Jil came back and the response to the future was underwhelming? There are so many changes happening in fashion right now to big time houses that have had the same names reigning over the clothes. I think this swan song for the Jil Sander Fall 2012/2013 collection was absolutely lovely. Bye, Raf...can't wait to see what happens next. (PS I did read a lot of rumors about him possibly going to some HUGE house like Dior or something. We shall see.) See quote below from the Washington Post:

Earlier in the week, the Jil Sander Group announced that the founder herself was coming back as creative designer for the company she started in 1968.

The news opens a whole new chapter for the label that has enticed women and men with its minimalist elegant styles.

But for now the fashion world is left sad that Simons is leaving. The designer was moved to tears when, after popular demand-clapping, hooting and a spontaneous invasion of the runway, he was forced to take a second curtain call.♡

gorgeous

i mean, this is like an old movie star dress. just breathtakingly beautiful. too many dresses and coats and looks for me to say which ones i love because i loved them all.

love raf. we heart him so much.

GIRL FRIDAY ♥ GILES FALL 2012/2013 BURNT

I just love Giles Deacon. And he doesn't seem to disappoint. This Giles Fall Winter 2012/2013 collection was so genius...all the burnt pieces...that really I didn't notice at all when I first looked at them. I thought they were really gorgeous almost animal print-y. But then after my eyes re-focused, I loved them even more. He's amazing. He def knows how to make a girl look good in clothes. I'll have to read up on what the inspiration/theme was behind this collection because it was so well thought out...and well executed. I just think he's one of the new players and I hope I get to play with him one day.♡

so nice. look at the shape.

he even gave tati a figure!

really really gorgeous and really a trip that our eye sees it as pretty. but it really is. even if it's shredded and burnt up.

i mean, look at this dress...it's a dream.

and this one. amazing. (ps codie young is one of my new fave models, btw.)

i love this shape and this dress so much. would be an amazing wedding dress.

i know a lot of people are going to hate this. but i love love love all dresses this shape...is this edwardian? methinks maybe. but i do love it. i tend to buy a lot of dresses from the 1960s that have a similar almost-babydoll shape. there's something very old world and very modern at the same time about it. dunno.

omg. i wish and pray someone would have the nerve to wear this to something like the oscars. it's amazing.

so oretty.

this is probably my favorite of all the burn dresses. and it's julia nobis, whom i think is turning into a super model by the minute.
