The door in my wardrobe*

*the door not actually being there was a disappointment - but at least I was allowed to play with the clothes

//// Just black layers

Posted on | August 9, 2009 | 2 Comments

Sorry for the artsy take on image processing, but I had to seriously overexpose the images to get even some detail out of the black layers — so I decided to get completely rid of the terrible colors and leave just the essential. And this is not a real outfit post anyway, so the details don’t matter.

Susie introduced just recently Barbara i Gonjini in Style Bubble — previously unknown star for me, althoug I try to follow the interesting Danish fashion scene as well as I can. I found her designs very fascinating, super wearable, edgy, dark but somehow playful. The mention of Rick Owens and Comme des Carcons is totally appropriate in the context. I got tons of knitwear ideas from her AW 09 collection. Plus I would like to kiss and hug her for the large, gorgeous lookbook images in her site!

The jersey layers from the SS 10 collection were the inspiration for these images. I have an old Diesel tank with very reminiscent upside down –structure. I just don’t understand how I haven’t been thinking about combining it to another black tank as a skirt. I guess I have seen tanks as skirt before (Westwood?)… …but the monochromatic layering of jersey pieces really struck me.

I like the combination of different jerseys here. The “skirt tank” could be larger, though. AA long sleeved T underneath, H&M tank as a skirt, held up with wide stretchy belt, Diesel tank on top. Too skimpy for my liking to go as it is, but some extra layering will certainly solve the problem.

Oh, I added some outfit pics to an older post, just did not feel posting again about the same items.

    I think it looks great! Upside-down tank is punky enough, not overkill (I’m thinking Westwood too, yeah).

    Must try my own version. The collection was really inspiring, I also loved the asymmetrically fastened leather (?) pants.

    I think that Acne had quite similar ones this summer. I happen to have a pair of ol’ All Saints wool trousers with button fastening that gives very similar line to the front. I have been thinking wearing them in Uno Cosa style when the weather cools down a bit…

What do you think?
