thanks for posting the pics of the individual pieces runner...
you are right....
less costume-y on their own...

i definitely think the tops are stronger than the bottoms though...
i could see pairing the romantic tops with something a bit 'tougher' on the bottom (cropped cargoes maybe?)...
and then that would make them more contemporary/modern and easier to wear imo...

i especially like the first two tops in post #41...
they look comfy and cool at the same time...

runner..
could you please explain this more...?

if anything, smoky prog rock, to me

thank you...

I feel like I'd stumble upon all these lovely
pieces in a beautiful, antiquarian trunk...
in a lovely attic somewhere far away...
Just gorgeous...
I love all the easy details...
& the necklace made of what seems to be shoelaces (???)
is very beautiful, too...
Thanks for posting, Runner! Amazing as always...

you're all welcome

runner..

I think I know why you said the term steam punk softgrey.
but I just wanted to call it progressive rock, if anything.
because in my mind it has elements which are associated more with attributes of some prog rock.

hmv.co.jp

also just artwork and album titles like " to our children's children's children " , " on the treshold of dream " , etc.
aren't those suitable for this stuff askikataski?
and maybe those clothes would feel kin to mellotron (which is typical of prog rock).





wiw, I don't know if it is what used to be shoelace sorry, but the clasp is actually a dial from 19th century. it seems that most of the pieces are made of 19th century linen or silk.

 

[softgrey]

i guess there is some overlap...
i don't really know the term progressive rock...
though i understand the mood you have explained...

all the old linens etc and the 19th century dial are certainly elements of what people have begun calling steam punk...

i guess the styling would make all the difference...

thanks for the clarification...

oh i love that scarf-neck cardi....and the felted skirt. apart from use of the buttons but also the way the materials are crafted,they really do have that feel of relics. and as for the buttons,i adore that use of recycled 19th cent. boot buttons. so romantic.

 

[runner]

all the pieces in #52 are from this season F/W 08


Mr. makino and his atelier in paris

cavane, pain

 

[Scott]

oh my i missed the last post....the skeleton key buttons

 

[Inaya]

there is so much to admire about each piece. I love clothing like that; when obvious thought is put into every element of each garment. the result is so special

 

[Scott]

^i wholeheartedly agree.
