Flagged
Happy 4th of July!
It's Independence day, so I compiled a bunch of Flag-themed pieces to get into the spirit. Not something I'd wear personally, but neat-o, nevertheless! Looking forward to BBQue-ing with friends later today.

Witchy Woman
I'll admit, I've never been a fan of the 'Haute Hippie' look and when thinking of it, embarrassingly, my mind starts to re-live the days of the late 80s-90s, when I donned black crochet, bell-sleeved dresses and handkerchief-hems...I was a sad attempt -trying to emulate a cross between Stevie Nicks and a Goth Flower Child on crack. I got rid of that look, but, alas....times change, we get older, less judgmental right? yeah, right.) As fashion seems to regurgitate itself throughout the years, I always see familiar styles cropping up, and always in the most unexpected of places. So in my boredom of style-repetition, I found myself re-visiting once again, those questionable pieces that have long since, flew out of my posession and into the nearest Salvation Army...and boy, do I wish I had some of it now...back to Bohemia, updated and reprised with an edgy twist! (leave the ren-faire re-enactment look out of this!)
Above, I've compiled some inspiration that to me, channels the 'Dark Goddess' for hot summer days and nights...Lovin' all of the above -especially the Mark Fast stuff coming soon to Topshop. A bit Goth, a bit witchy and pretty sexy -crochet without the dowdiness = Haute.

The Paper Runway
If the world were made of paper, I certainly wouldn't mind, and viewing HCCC's recent exhibit, The Paper Runway, I could at least get an idea of what it would be like, if all my clothes were made from paper. From a series of LBD's to a gorgeous black and white cut-out gown, a jacket made of hair and teabags, to a full suit cut from lottery tickets...this show was to die for. Artists from all ilks represented their interpretations, right down to tissued net skirts that flowed gently like the lightest of gossamer fabrics. A gorgeous Kimono-esque gown stood by itself and hypnotized me with its patterns and colors, while a delicate child's apron sat suspended with prints of Godzilla displayed like fine toile from a French chateau. Pretty sweet. The Paper Runway is definitely a feast of textural bliss, taking the art of adornment to a whole new level and throwing out inspiration like a virus. The connection between clothing and identity is a strong one and the pieces on display seem to convey this message nicely. If you live in H-town, I'd highly recommend checking out the show. Runs from June 4 - September 5.
