it's turning cooler here in Perth finally; autumn has arrived (supposedly?)

did some pattern-cutting yesterday (motivated day)

in front of my laptop today (oh-oh)

trying to do some layout change here and there but it didn't go smoothly as i thought 

i guess i'll finish up my last bit of pattern-cutting tomorrow?

exhibition 2010

introducing a japanese label  ~ unruly ~

founded in 2007

the designer behind this label is Yuta Kikuchi.

photoshoot for collection

behind the concept

"たとえば絵画　たとえば音楽　たとえば文章 日々感じ　日々想う事を 僕の服で表現できると信じて"

i'm trying to interpret it and it means something like

"for example painting,　for example music, for example　writings; i believe that i could express them well through my clothing about my feelings and my thoughts day by day "

without a doubt, you can find him conveying his concept well through the unique name given to the pieces he made

  

autumn/winter 2012 is the most recent collection whereas i believe that they're holding exhibitions now and for the past few months

~ like ~ HISUI

introducing a japanese label HISUI

HISUI was founded in 1999. the designer behind this is Hiroko Ito, and to fortify her background; she had worked for Comme des Garçons before stepping out.

as much as i love draping, layering is one of my favorite too. Hiroko Ito was assumed to be one of the first japanese designers who explored the prominent mix and match layered look for a single garment today (you will get what it means by looking at her collections)


her collections are somehow casual but yet with a feminine approach; with sophisticated and delicate details and cutting.



here are some images picked (´・ω・｀)” from her last three collections. these are all my favorites ♡

SS12 collection 'feeling of melting'

AW11 collection 'MIRROR'

long baggy chunky socks ( ･ั﹏･ั; )” is very typical in japanese girls styling. 
reminds me of my old days wearing this thick socks - tucking it into boots, over jeans or leggings... hehe, memories, haven't been wearing any of these for years! they are still in my closet back in Melbourne, gotta pack them up when i go back hmm..

AW11 collection 'MIRROR'

the bright colorful knitwear in the middle is to die-for （；゜０゜）”! and there is an image movie in the end of my post about this collection.





... and lastly from her 2011 SS collection

SS11 collection 'feel a sign'

haven't been able to post for the past two days  （ﾟдﾟlll）

today,
something inspiring to share on a black friday (but it never bothers me anyway hehe ♪♪)


ok, so...
just a little introduction - Ulrika Kestere, a young photographer/illustrator from Sweden (now i wonder why i'm always drawn to Sweden artists..?) (つд`)
she has got her own blog where she shared her works, inspirations, and life.

 ....... ....... .......

it was the number from the title that attracted me at first (seven is my favorite number)
so i clicked on it out of curiosity
and wow (i can't express more)
such beautiful striking images...

girl with 7 horses is a series of photo project from october 2011 to january 2012

as quoted ; “I shot the first horse photo in early autumn last year and on my way home the story about the girl and her seven horses just came to me.”

first finding: October 23th

the story she refers to goes like this:

... " Once upon a time there was a girl who had seven invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she, in fact, had seven imaginary horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came, the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes.She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its forceful winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (since they are invisible they obviously didn’t weigh much). The girl was devastated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes. " ...

second finding: November 6th

third finding

fourth finding: November 10th

fifth finding: November 18th

sixth finding: December 21st

seventh finding

i have always love conceptual themes which are then exploited into designs or ideas.

and indeed, the idea and story behind this project is so remarkable and original.

~ inspiration ~ Madame Grès part II

i thought of sharing a short-brief three minutes video about Madame Grès.
(refer back to my older post if you have not known this great designer.)

looking at her clothing is just so unbelievable !  

i believe that i would be like a little girl fills with excitement if there's a chance to visit her exhibition one day.

her clothing is to die-for  \(//∇//)\

Erika Sawajiri covered the may issue 2010 of Glamorous, a japanese magazine. generally i read more of these (jap magz) rather than the others (´・ω・｀)

indeed, i am very much influenced by japanese street fashion

i know this has probably aged but i just love the shoot, everything is just so mind blowing

 it's never too late to share isn't it?  ♡♡
