//// The blizzard

Posted on | January 29, 2010 | 8 Comments

Very few magazine editorials are so strong that they really haunt in my mind and influence the way I put stuff together. But I happen to remember one Vogue shoot with extremely severe black and white images, very austere clothing and heavy layering. I think that the editorial was titled “Storm” but I’m bit unsure about that. Tried to some sloppy image searching with no success… …bad thing that “storm” happens to be model agency, too.

Anyway, since I aquired some long hems while ago, I have been trying to recreate those silhouettes by memory… …here I’m wearing Acne dress, H&M silk chiffon tunic (would love it to be slightly less opaque for the stripes really show through), A.F. Vandevorst shrug, old rubber band boots, Filippa-K coat and Zara mongolian lamb vest. This one I found from charity shop this fall and it looks totally unworn. Probably someone had overestimated her tolerance for super fluffy animal hair. The Vandevorst shrug transforms easily to giant scarf when outside — and because I can actually put my head through hand hole it really stays on place… …just come on storm, try to get me!

Love the black & white stripes. You look warm & cozy & ready for the blizzard. Will this winter ever end?

I love your shrug, it has a kimono look. And sheer tops do make outfits more interesting!

Sugar Kane: you were classified as trash

Seriously, there has been an ourageous amount of spam comments lately — no wonder the Akismet makes a mistake or two. All those suspicious pharmacy spammers are wild right now.

Kamicha, hah! I do have some problems with my nom de plume occationally, seems spam filters can’t make a difference btw Sonic Youth/ Billy Wilder references and pornstar names.…
