..billa BONG..

been slacking on my billabong fall 09 junior buys.. (its my biggest account..) so it takes a loooonnnggg time to do.. can't seem to find the urge to start.. 

being a buyer is fun.. but the pressure of getting right.. in this economy its gruesome.. (especially if you have my boss)

maybe this blog will help with the motivation.. (doubt it)

here's a small preview on whats in store for billabong jrs fall 09

..mr. queen..

 currently at work..  

bored as can be..

pecking away at my computer entering orders...

to satisfy my boredom i decided i'll do some "fashion research" code word at work to let me surf the web.. 

I just finished reading the GQ article on mr. rob pattinson 

(my very secret indulgence, however in this article he seems a bit manic depressant or just strange), 

when I came across this amazing article on Alexander McQueen from the refinery29 blog.

i love this quote that the ny times quotes mcqueen on:

"i think its dangerous to play it safe because you will just get lost in the midst of cashmere twin sets. people don't want to see clothes.  they want to see something that fuels the imagination." - mcqueen

what i also love about mcqueen is that he can put on a show... 

"This was, Mr. McQueen said, an ironic exploration of a designer’s reinvention. The irony is that designers say that fashion is constantly being reinvented, yet they continue to show the same shapes and trends of decades past. (Ergo, this season the collections have been fixated on the 1980s.)

After the triumphs of his recent collections, this was a risky show, entirely uncommercial and intentionally provocative, and it generated extreme reactions. Dennis Freedman, the creative director of W, was visibly ecstatic watching the show; but another magazine editor, afterward, compared the trash-bin styling to “a collection inspired by Wall-E.”"

Mr. McQueen, in effect, was calling fashion’s bluff when he opened his collection with a suit in a 1940s silhouette, with a nipped waist and flared skirt in houndstooth wool, worn by a model who walked with her hands on her hips and posed with the exaggerated gestures of an Irving Pennphotograph. That was followed by a houndstooth print on a mink coat in a Poiret shape and wool jackets that were defaced with embroidery that looked like a Jackson Pollockpainting.

All the models wore hats by the milliner Philip Treacy that were made of trash-can liners and aluminum cans, or recycled household objects; the makeup, inspired by the mad look of Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil,” gave the models the appearance of plastic faces that were all lips. The music, as well, was a mash-up of songs from his prior shows, with bits of “Vogue” and Marilyn Manson’s “Beautiful People.”-nytimes.com
