flaunt the imperfection..

well..i hear ya...
and if you check our neo goth thread... we DID define it in the literary context ie- jane eyre, etc... and said that it is NOT about the high school mall goth thing... and that it's not just about lots of black... but about a dark kind of romanticism... so it's more similar than dis-similar it would seem...

It's the decaying woman in action. It's like being witness to a slowly decaying rose and seeing it die before your eyes with such grace and beauty.

When was the last time the fashion and art world were able to take sweetness, romanticism and optimism straight up without poison? It says a lot about the prevailing world-view. We crave innocence and utopia, but are too hurt and jaded to say so...so we laugh at ourselves and make our proclamations tongue in cheek. We are too vulnerable to face the world without "edge"...the edge of a blade of course. Anyway.  |

I think it's intresting this is being called a "trend" because i feel like it's so much more than that. trends come and go... but political statements like these last forever. I love this thread. IMO this would fit well too:
Vera Wang FW 08/09  nymag I loved this look! First, Freja is looking more androgynous than ever. Second, the top is really exuberant but the masculinty from the pants really tone it down. I thought the fur and the boots were nice touches as well. Basically, any woman who would wear this would like like a broad not to be messed with.

Nice addition with the V. Wang. I'm looking forward to some potential candidates from London next.

What about for men the demasculinity at Prada? I feel like that is a bit cynical in the same way but the men's version. It's like feminine details to punish men.
 With shirts buttoning in the back, pants with no fly, the little tutu-esque things, those bikini type things, etc. I don't know if it's relevant to this thread but it definitely seems like some poisoned femmes dressed these men.

Giles FW 08.09         style.com Next to Rodarte, this captures the essence of bruised beauty & poisoned feminity best! I was very happy with Giles' collection.  |
