Purr

I think the leopard detail is cool. go for it

Damn those DH creepers are nuts

Nice.

I got this vintage knapsack a while back

Distressed camel/olive green color synergy going on here IRL.

When i first took it home i found some retro oriental looking stuff lodged inside. kind of strange.

image is prolly why homegirl Tavi is getting disenchanted about fashionz.

@ke1

One can never go wrong with a classic pair of sambas

i agree about the jacket. if you do decide to get it, accessorize with a brown paper bag.

They're adidas classics, around $75!

It was meant to be, only ones left at my local adidas store.

I think i like em more than margielas, but maybe I'm just saying that because margielaz cost like 4 times more lol

But seriously IMO, i think the shape is better, more streamlined. nice as f.

nice and cheap

pm/payment sent. cheers

Good advice you guys.

I will resort to auto cannibalism for the next month 'til I can afford Ramen again. I'll start munching on my toes, they'll be covered by them MARGIELAZ anyway

lol Spackin. Yeah I think I'll go ahead and take the plunge with the GAT replicas. They're like, twice the price as the spack shoes but wtf, i like em more anyway. But hmm, I kind of like the velcro too. Fuck being broke

I think this collection is good. And not just because of the typical balenciaga technical amazement. That never fails to impress.

The thing with the balenciaga is every season the themes are so different but it has that unique flavor to it. Sometimes its so hard to take in at first glance, second, third. Like i go, wtf is that. then eventually as you think about it more, look at it and you go, holy shit. case in point spring 2009. It was weird as hell, total mind fuck, but it gets you thinking. and at the end of the day, i find myself inspired by it.

I'm such a fanboy. whatever.

Awesum as ever

If Rachel zoe was watching the show, she probably went like, o.m.g, that banana shirt, is buh-nanas. die. she needs to get that for herself.

I am in love with the silhouettes. Specially those skirts with the shirts.

Holy fucking shit. Daphne Guinness is a true patron of fashion.

I dunno, but fashion to me is just.. what it is. Fashion.

Shouldn't be taken too seriously, or else it just loses its point and becomes ridiculous and must i say, pretentious.

To me it should always be fun. If you're not having fun with it and not taking it too seriously then i wouldn't call it fashion (in my own sense) anymore.

Anyway, when i go shopping i just buy what i like really. I walk in the store, browse, and that's probably why im a quick shopper, some things just 'call' out to me. lol I think that's the nature of choosing really, in general, you buy what speaks to your soul hahaha

But yeah, i go for the idea. An idea/concept design i am specifically after, what i conjured in my brain wearing or something i see on the rack that interests me by someone else's brain. How i want to 'package' myself. It's all about that attitude you want to convey to people. Next is the fit, very important. but then again, you can alter everything.

Next will be the price- is it worth investing in? (Just because im not rich yet, so this is subject to change). Then everything else, quality, versatility, longeevity etc etc
