十件不是人穿的COUTURE . HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE COUTURE PIECES. THE BEST OF COUTURE FW19

Written by : Monique Ying @monying_my

2019 couture 的伸展台是一埸狂歡盛宴。經過一系列的研究,我發現了一個很有趣的現象 – 現時很多設計師(e.g. Elie Saab) 開始探索世界各文族的文化,有中國的、日本的、非洲文族的,還有摩洛哥的。 設計師們對這些文化的了解愈來愈成熟,亦為我們正名。 Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino等大牌子以它們的超凡作品證明了創意與靈感永遠也不會消逝,同時亦表現了它們將永遠推翻時裝定義的精神。

排除高級定製時裝週的精彩細節,以下是我於2019秋季couture中十件最喜歡的作品。

2019 couture runway truly is a blast. After some decent research, I found that it is interesting a lot of designers such as Elie Saap are trying to explore on ethnics, in Chinese, Japanese, African and Moroccan cultures. Their perceptions on these cultures are getting more mature and somehow, giving us justice. Big Brands such as Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino also proves us that creativity and inspiration never dies by their extravagance designs, questioning the definition of fashion at all times.

Despite all the thrills from all details, here are ten of my favourite couture pieces from the 2019 couture runway.

討論/CRACKER BARREL : DRAKE “VIEWS” ALBUM REVIEW

DRAKE_VIEWSCOVER

There are a polarizing few standout points from Drake’s album, “Views”, so I’m a keep it brief. If you want the minutiae check out Big Ghost’s review for a blast. This album is mostly trash, and the fault of it lies with Drake. I’m insinuating the production is not the biggest culprit here. The bad it stands out for is some all time new horrendous. I’m a paraphrase cuz I’ve listened to this album ’nuff times already. Tings like ‘girl we ain’t together no more but you still mine’, ‘why don’t you check on me no more cuz we went our seperate ways?…blah blah…’. Yeah, surprise, mostly about women, unimaginable women. The other standouts are ‘Weston Road Flows’ which is mostly a rap song, and ‘One Dance’ which is a hit, but in his lexicon of hits, homie done got much betta. There is a lot of lyrical WTF-ery here from Drakery especially the first 5 tracks, and I been a fan for a good sec. Let me put on, ‘The Motion’, or ‘4PM in Calabash’ or whatever. Clean my palette of dis ‘ere.
