I had such a hard time getting dressed this morning. This entry makes me feel so much better about my final choices. They may not have been inspired, but at least my shoes are on my feet where they belong.
So in their country, ANYONE can be a model. Even girls with feet growing from their craniums. Miss Janey needs to go there. She has always wanted to be a model.
This looks to me like a clumsy tribute to Elsa Schiaparelli’s famous shoe hat (1937-1938, designed in collaboration with Salvador Dali). You can read about La Schiaparelli here: http://secretlifeofshoes.blogspot.com/2005/04/elsa-schiaparelli.html. Scroll down for a picture of the chapeau in question.
Okay, the Manolo, he cannot be one person, what with the obscure references to horrible children’s shows (including the doll’s name)! No one has that much cultural knowledge stuffed into one noggin.
Yes Bon Mot! At least Elsa also wore a decent hairstyle. These examples are what my father would call “The bitter end of a swab – the nasty end of a rope that’s been lying for months on the deck of a ship.
Last week I skimmed a NYT’s article that was going on about how uninspired designers feel today, something about them being like the rest of us and wanting their work to be meaningful, or some such bs. I couldn’t actually read the whole thing because I couldn’t figure out which planet the journalist/critic was living on. Wasn’t there a time when designers actually wanted their models and their customers to actually look good, or at least better than they usually would look if not for wearing their fabulous clothes? (Not that they cared if the people felt good or could even breathe while wearing the clothes, but at least they looked good.) But the clothes–for a long time now–are not fabulous. The pictures are disturbing, not inspiring. The trick seems to be to convince the most amount of young people with money to waste to purchase awful clothes and convince themselves that they look good. The strategy seems to be very profitable. (Case in point, LOTS of young women wear the “Hello. This is the part of my body where my ovaries are located”, low-rise jeans/high-rise tank-top look–even when they DON’T look good, i.e. Britney with her “Hello. These are the many parts of my body used in procreating the next generation” look.) I think it’s time to re-name the “fashion” industry and just call them the costume industry or, better, the clown-clothes industry.
WTF!? Ayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh good grief.
Ayyyyy! I was home on the Sick Day, looking for inspiration from the Manolo, when I saw this. Those poor girls navigating a runway full of creepy, disembodied legs.
I am now weakened, and will take to my bed again – which is where the quilt of the patchwork should remain unless one is Daisy Duke at the square dance.
The first girl indeed looks like a girl. She looks about 12.
My Dear “M”,
I couldn’t agree more.
The horror, the horror.
Bon Mot has a point, but i think a better idea would be to honor the picture above the Shoe Hat. Just scalp the models and use the bloody pelts as a lovely shoe ornament. It would probably become the next Heroine-Chic.
Ayeee, what have I and so many others done? But what could I do when the images screamed “Manolo!”
What are the black smears under their eyes about? Football?
