holy shit

Just came across some new fash' that made my heart skip a beat: 

All by Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz

Being a massive Delpozo and Vika Gazinskaya, this is absolutely right up my alley. It's sculptural, unexpected and incredibly feminine while incorporating menswear elements, not to mention the latina ruffles and dash of nostalgia and romance. Not to mention I can picture this looking amazing across all sizes... Seriously though, what a sight for sore eyes.

Trunkshow at Moda Operandi here, plus a few more (I think older) looks for you to feast your eyes upon:

Washington-based painter Tyree Callahan modified a 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter, replacing the letters and keys with color pads and hued labels to create a functional “painting” device.

Boys have it easier.

Men's colour palettes and choice of shapes tend to be smaller and simpler. It's like there is a distinct sobriety in masculinity that manifests itself through an absence of fuss, less nonsense and little to no discomfort. They don't have to be cold or squeeze into tight clothes to look attractive, which perhaps only suggests men don't compete among themselves the way we do. There is also less  camouflage for physical shortcomings but, then again, I do think the less they try the better they look. Boys have it really easy.

I really like it when girls integrate these concepts into their style. I love the ambiguity it creates and, althought it is less revealing of a woman's curves, it only makes me notice her all the more.

Furmidable

These Gucci fur loafers are so bonkers. If they were Maison Martin Margiela no one would bat an eye, but when it's heritage brand coming up with such a conceptual shoe - that's a little ballsy. I love that; not the shoe so much, but just how far it pushes the (originally conservative) design of Gucci's iconic horsebit loafer:

Say hi to Furnando. 

Plus some more furry shoes for good measure:
