arigato!

very illuminating.

^ also there could be this kind of view quoted below, in connection with the masculine and sometimes synthetic (or even somewhat demonic) elements of his womenswear like a mirage, and especially if you think about the concept of this collection.


" What Ulrich said was: There's not only the myth of the human being divided into two. We might also take Pygmalion, or Hermaphroditus, or Isis and Osiris : with slight variations it's always the same thing. It goes back a very long way, this desire for a doppelganger of the opposite sex, this craving for the love of a being that will be entirely the same as oneself and yet another, distinct from oneself, a magical figure that is oneself and that does nevertheless remain a magical figure as well and is more than any figment of the imagination in that it has the life-breath of self- sufficiency and independence. This old, old dream of the essence of love meeting, unhampered by the limitations of the corporeal world, in two identical-distinct figures — it's conjured up innumerable times through the ages by the solitary alchemistic processes that go on inside the alembic of the human skull. "

it may be a primordial dream since the first division that remains until return to forever, omnipresence, or oneness.
then, emergence again.
the design of the silver necklace and bracelet from this collection seems to be the form of movement in becoming and disintegration.

well...
you see...
this is what happens...
i start to read all the clever things that everyone is writing about...

but then there are these AMAZING images of these AMAZING clothes...
and i get completely sucked in to the images...
*because, like most of us here...i am a visual person...

and then i am in such a trance that i can no longer even see the words...
only the images...

so it's really no wonder that i haven't really been able to absorb the writings...

...

thank you fenrost...
for sending me into another lovely trance...
*i really needed it right about now...


*runner-
i think you're right...
the fit looks easier and i do see some things that i might be able to wear...

that wrap with one sleeve is almost like something that i already own...
at least the idea is the same...
also- eileen fisher has a sweater with the same concept...
though i confess...i prefer carol's version...
or maybe it isn't even what i think it is...
maybe it is just a big scarf...?!...

*i hate not having detailed descriptions of all items...
it helps so much to know what you are looking at...
it just makes me appreciate everything all the more...

hi softgrey.

sorry the links to the pics seems to have expired. but it can be all found in the tumblr link.

i think the garment you mention of.. is a shawl with selvedge, together with the fabric, frayed at both ends.

 

[softgrey]

i picked out some of my fave images...
