FLORAL AT SS18 WOMEN’S WEAR, N-Z

要是提起花和時裝之間的關系,可說是千絲萬縷。有好些花,只要我一提起你就會知道是什麼品牌。簡單提幾個:櫻花、滿天星、山茶花、罌粟花……SS18也是花海處處。老實說,花這個設計原素到處都有。天橋上的花之所以能走到台上都是關於花本身的排位設計。少許移動和空間,都可能讓整個設計變得低俗。搭配上也是,最多出事位就是「花on花」的layering。所以在欣賞這幾個我們從N-Z品牌選出的Floral設計的同時,也可偷師一下他們的配搭。而除了幾個肯定會出現的花朵的品牌以外,OFF-WHITE、Zadig Voltaire這些品牌也在10秒後抵達戰場。


Simone Rocha :: 這個強勢又浪漫的英國品牌,她簡單的剪裁從一始便很吸引我。這季我特別喜歡她們的花,不再是那老掉牙的碎花或印刷。白色為主,橙、粉、紅的小花朵相襯,浪漫中是初戀那樣的羞澀可愛。


Ulla Johnson :: Ulla Johnson雖然是碎花設計,白色和透視加添一層看似清澈的神秘感。

Youngqueenz continues to progress their dark sound with a video for the track, “”獅子麒麟鳳”. Literal translation, lion, phoenix, dragon, speaking on that love for the dolla bill ya’ll.

MUSIC IS PLAYING. JUNE 12, 2018. ARTIC MONKEYS, TRANQUILITY BASE AND CASINO

New Artic Monkeys album! Whooohaaa! Alex Turner definitely one of my favorite lyricists going. Yes and he don’t rap. The Monkeys make great music, so that’s not to lessen any of the others in the band. Wow band…We so used to talking about this guy or that. Maybe a collab here and there. I digress. Check the wit of the opening track Star Treatment. Don’t sleep.
