Saint Augustine Academy - I wanna do bad things with you

I wanna do bad things with you.

When you came in the air went out.

And every shadow filled up with doubt.

I don’t know who you think you are,

But before the night is through,

I wanna do bad things with you.

I’m the kind to sit up in his room.

Heart sick an’ eyes filled up with blue.

I don’t know what you’ve done to me,

But I know this much is true:

I wanna do bad things with you.

When you came in the air went out.

And all those shadows there filled up with doubt.

I don’t know who you think you are,

But before the night is through,

I wanna do bad things with you.

I wanna do real bad things with you.Ow, ooh.
I don’t know what you’ve done to me,

But I know this much is true:

I wanna do bad things with you.

I wanna do real bad things with you.

Michael Lo Sordo, Haunting Prints at RAFW 2010

Micheal Lo Sordo SS 10-11

haunting artistic prints

organic clouds

Swarovski Crystals

clean tailoring

delicate draping

Soft sensual fabrics

Highlight of the week for me, period. ront row (again) in the OPT for Michael Lo Sordo's SS 10-11collection show. Courtesy of Nel from Chasing Nel who with her change in sleek and sexy hairstyle was made to sit front row. Opening with flowing but still quite structured garments, including an amazing finely pleated long dress.

The pallete included neutral shades in nude, cream as well as soft pinks and sky blues.

Short sculptured dresses, sheer fabrics and hot draped mini skirts a favourite. The collection's prints a standout with the collaboration with artist Christopher Horder to produce melting cloud like formations in tonal pink and blue range. It was also very cool to go back stage and see the collection first hand, fresh off the runway, with Nel, whom buys from Micheal. Notable mention it was Micheal's Birthday too so having such a brilliant show would've been a treat.

The Vanishing Point RTW S/S 2010 -11

a graduation of shape and line

spirographs

linear lines

suggest rather than reveal

Lilacs, aqua, sherbert

With an amazing video intro of a endless tunnel lighting up set the tone of the parade. Zimmermann's The Vanishing point collection followed suite with many other designers as far as softness, femininity and florals but had a really strong emphasis on lines. Spirograph, linear and perspective points were a main feature in the prints. The simplistic geometric cutouts layered over swimsuits and light dresses was a perfect combination. A pallete of nude, lilac, aqua and sherbert created a mix of bold but playful statements.

Ginger and Smart THE TRANSCENDENT SS10 RAFW

One of the highlights for Day #1 for me was attending the

first OPT show Ginger & Smart. A collection that progressed

from linear patterns, bold but not screaming, light fabrics.

Other techniques included Fraying, wrapped and knotting

to create a variety of innovative designs.
