monday after fashion week

Monday, February 22, 2010



Good morning everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! Come in, grab a latte and let's chat! I mostly took it easy as I haven't been feeling well, but did manage to catch an interesting show at MOCA on Saturday night. It was big, loud, and crowded, and I enjoyed it. One of my friends thought it was just a mishmash of art, but to me L.A. is a mishmash--so many artists and cultures converging here to live and work--that's what's kind of great about it.



And of course, fashion week is over and now everyone's trying to make sense of it. I spent the morning perusing Cobra Snake's coverage of the shows, fascinated as he turned his eye from hipster teenage parties to fashion week--loving the raw feel: From the ill-fitting clothes on Calvin Klein's catwalk...



...to the rumpled clothes at Marc Jacobs that looked like they ran out of time backstage to press them + crazy photos of the falling model.




Backstage at Herve Leger--even under the unflattering fluorescents these dresses don't look bad on a single girl--making it clear why he's still around.




Gorgeous work at Erin Fetherston--she just gets better.




If you've ever loved or even just been ambivalent about Anna Sui--this is the season to take a second look--she rocked it out of the park! More on that over at my usual Monday spot on Senora Cartera.

So tell me about your weekend--what did you do? I've missed you and promise I'll be visiting your blogs very soon!

Mary Jo,
Thanks for stopping by and joining me on Twitter. You've now made me curious about Anne Sui, and I will definitely taking a closer look.
Would love to chat over a delicious latte! Soaked up the sun this weekend in Oregon and took in a wonderful used book sale. Those are always such a treat.
Have a wonderful week.

I always feel awful for girls who fall on the runway. I imagine I would want to cry if it were to happen to me - I commend them for getting right back up and trying again! And Anna Sui...LOVE!! :)
