I love big hoods. Most of the hooded garments I own are in black or grey, so this white vest by Helmut Lang is stunning and refreshing and just... ohhhhhmmm. I would gladly wear the entire ensemble on a cool summer night (orthopedic granny shoes included of course)--I'd pull the hood way over my eyes, shove my hands in the pockets and skip around Shibuya listening to 2pac's Fucking With the Wrong Nigga--classic.
As far as I know she's a stylist and writer for hintmag. I saw her for the first time on thesartorialist and since then I've recognized her on various street style sites including facehunter and style.com's event pages. It's hard to forget her as she's always in her signature frames and orange lipstick-- for some reason, I am intrigued when a woman has a uniform style, or dresses according to a single, strict theme. (My own wardrobe is quite themed--possibly more so than most girls my age, but I do have moments when I just want to chuck everything out and start over again...) Judging from the photos I've seen, it seems she favors Dries, Marni, Comme des Garcons and Martin Margiela.
Three days away from my first halloween party this year and still no costume....After a frantic last minute closet raid, I've decided to go with my two-toned united bamboo dress seen above (which has gotten no wear so far as I find it a bit cutsey and out of character), loafers, and a pair of black celluoloid frames for a Enid of Ghost World look. I want it to be a bit more creepy though, (think gothic-lolita birthday girl-- inspired by marc jacobs ss08 perhaps) so I'll be adding black balloons and black ribbons in my poofed-up hair, lots of smudgy eyeliner (I just bought Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner in black ink btw...fantastic stuff) and some black lipstick by shu uemura. Hoho dressing up is always exciting...
