mary

mary mary, had a little baby.

or.

mary did you know?...

or.

mary had a little lamb.

yup. that's the one.

lambs! lamb-wear. and drop-crotch pants i can get behind. and just the right amount of 'box'. and tubes of dresses i could slink about quite happily and glamorously in. and of course, the falconer/electrician glove thing that i love so much.

here we go a-falconing

rule #17 of falconing etiquette. when your beloved falcon dies of old age, have her made into a hat to honour her memory.

(this is a very nice balance of costume-y and fashion-y. not too goofy, not too serious. also, i know it's a strange thought, but i wanted to add a line to romeo and juliet... thanks to this galliano. 'a plague on both your houses... a bird on both your heads.' (you know! cause a bird in the house is a warning of death. so. a bird on your head? warning of tragic love suicide pacts. am i right?!) it is also noteworthy how pleased i am that galliano himself is gone. bill gaytten is doing a fine job. and even before he proved to be an ignorant hateful man, i was always put off by galliano. i think maybe it was his hair...)

warming

i'm not 100% sold on marni's pre-fall yet. i think that i will be, a bit more at least, with time. i think it is a collection that needs to be looked at a few more times before i start to connect with the bits and pieces. not to say that i don't like it at all. there's some greatness in there for sure. but i'm just less WEEEEEE for these shots on the whole... than i've been for other collections this pre-season.

anyways. what i DO love. those gloves and mitts! i like how prada did the wader boots a while back, and now marni is all 'know what else is super cool? electrical gloves! don't get electrocuted next fall!'. utility chic. or, falconer, i guess. also. and i have always wanted a falcon. falcons are so hot for fall 2012. you heard it here first.

the earrings/jewellery overall is KICKASS too. and i'm sure i'll kick myself in a few weeks when i suddenly have something totes awesome to say about the clothes. but for now, looking.
