"Protect Ya Neck" - Enter The Wu Tang: 36 Chambers

 

Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2011

Tisci has outdone himself again. I love his Japanese warrior influence, & it's nice to see Asian models being used. Can we please talk about the head pieces as well? & just when I thought I was completely satisfied with the sheers, soft palettes, and ornate origami-like folds in the fabric--the colorful back pieces took it to a different level! Designers--Tisci is telling ya'll "Protect Ya Neck!"

Gee-von-she

 

FINALLY Givenchy has released their fall ad campaign! What perfect timing after my last post which featured all red Givenchy. I absolutely LOVE this campaign, because of the bold hits of red against the lines usual black pieces which it has become known for. The campaign was photographed my Mert & Marcus.

Eyes Wide SHUT

Food For Thought

Just finished reading i-D's Spring issue.

"We came from water, & now with the help if stem cell technology nd cloning, we must go back to it to survive. Make no mistake, this is not sci-fi, this is evolution." - McQueen

"Love is everything. Love for a partner, but mostly love for family. It's a word I use alot at Givenchy"

- Riccardo Tisci

"Everything made sense suddenly, & it was all around us. We were the new generation, and we were old enough to create our own show, to creat our own magazine, & to try to express this difference. At the time we strongly believed in the possibility of an independent culture that could be a creative alternative to capitalism." - Oliver Zahm

"The people that inspire me are the people I have a real relationship with, my friends or people I went to school with. People I have an ongoing dialogue with that I see everyday. People on the street are so interesting to me, because they are not under the public pressure, they dress for themselves".
