I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Kenzo AW13 collection in Paris

Put a cork in it and store in a cool, dry place, out of the sun, is how I like to treat some of my fashion week posts. It wasn’t the fact that I was a lazy butt and missed that one-week window in March to post this – no no. (yes :( ). Well, whether it was grey-beard’s wise foresight, or a happy accident, I’m surprisingly glad to be sharing this Kenzo collection now. Isn’t now its proper season that is Autumn/Winter ’13, anyway? Like all fashion things that I pretend to understand but don’t, eventually I’ve come to appreciate it in its entirety. Five months later to be exact. Alas, shall we clarify a few things – I’m a spectator, not a fashion journalist – I was educated in judging things at face value and I’ve personally taught myself how to obsess over pink macarons. I don’t know how the creative duo Humberto Leon and Carol Lim came to join powers, and what exactly it was that inspired this collection (eyes I THINK) without reading up on Style.com. All I know is ISN’T THIS COOL? (See, fashion journos, nobody here is trying to take your job) (that’ really is the only adjective I know.) I mean look how the Asian mythical patterns and kimono shapes mingle with the Art Nouveau interior of La haunted Samaritaine… a funky East-meets-West temple in the heart of Paris! Plus, I really enjoyed how they shot the campaign, which really just adds to the whole picture. We likey, as simple as that.

  2. This is a beautiful collection – look at those fabrics, I’m drooling – but I have to confess that I couldn’t take my eyes off the decor. Interior design/architecture trump fashion here.

  17. Dang Shini, with posts like this you make many a fashion journalist look rather lame. No comprendo mucho, either, but me likey, too.

  19. I knew they were gonna do wondrous things at Kenzo! God! those prints! That red glittery coat needs to be with me for this winter :'(
    And why is Jessica Alba so perfect?!

  20. Love this collection!

  21. Oh wow, what an awesome venue for a show! Oh and Jessica Alba is so beautiful…

  22. Always cracking up whilst reading you. The reference to fashion journalists made me laugh even more. I like how you put everything in a not serious way when everybody took it so seriously before.

    To speak about the collection and where the catwalk took place I must say it is mythical. La Samaritaine is/was such an institution in France and I like this East-meet-West feel of the collection because it shows that fashion is a cycle. Paul Poiret and his love for the East, Yves Saint Laurent and his perfume Opium etc…It seems like Orient will never leave fashion.
