Oh No.

Where have I seen that bathingsuit before? Oh yes, it was in the early 90's together with the workout videos. Pleeeease spare us from having to deal with the sight of that on the beach all summer next year. Yucky. I am sad to say it's from the s/s 09 collection by one of my favorite designers, whom I've been writing about before, Hussein Chalayan.

White Light Party

On saturday I'm going to a party in Malmoe called White Light Party. At this party you must be dressed all in white, which is a brilliant idea since it's a theme party but you still don't have to dress as if you are going to a masquerade. Or I mean, it would have been a brilliand idea if I only had any white clothes. Yes, I have got a couple of tops in white but no bottoms. White is a colour I rarely use because I think it's a way too light colour. I thought though that the stylists surely had some suggestions on how to mix it.... with other white clothes.

Maybe I should take the dress code literally and follow Hussein Chalayans example?

Hussein Chalayan

One of my favourite designers right now is Hussen Chalayan. Mostly because I'm fascinated by the futrististic look in all but also because I like that there is someone out there who dares to be innovative and try something new. I believe I could put every piece of his AW07 collection here and love them all, but since I don't have enough space, these are my favourites:

I love the way he uses the shapes to create drama and how he mixes what's worn today with something competely different, I mean, who else have thought about wearing latex tights/over-knee boots together with a suit before?

To return to what I wrote about yesterday about the fabrics this spring, I would like to say, that Hussein Chalayan knows how to use the transparent fabrics in a way that would make even me feel comfortable and filled with awe:
