And another batch of photos from Alternative Fashion Week at Spitalfields Traders Market.
Ostensibly innovative designers have exhibited their works for the general public but whether they really were that innovative and original in their work is for you to decide.
Being too busy locating my viewfinder I have completely missed out on the names of designers. Feeling guilty of professional negligence and desperately seeking for your approval at least for taking the photos.
The so-called sustainable collection. The garments compiled of recycled mens suits, shirts and cravats. C'mon, just strip them off completely, first their love, then their money, now their clothes...
The skirt is the favourite. When in motion, the heavy fabrics gives it a fabulous fluidy look.
A definite approve from Baranovska. The sweet sherbet, been left outside and got washed out by the rain. The cut is rather simple and too compromising with the customer, but looking very pretty.
Worth of going onto TopShop shelves. xx
Hello Malcolm X, I thing you forgot to change for the showcase.
Something every girl's done when learning how to sew. Been there, done that, next please.
Loved the idea, but there's something unfinished about it. If it is a vest with fringe it needs to look like one ...And likewise if it is an accessory. There's a good rhythm and dynamics in these garments (middle picture) but no substance and presentation is "flaggy".
A good judgement is to sometimes imagine yourself walking into a corner shop and thinking whether shop assistant's would exclaim "Aaah a goddess" ...or "Ooooh, a pot of noodles"...so there you go.
Oh, you need to wear the clothes too, if you decide to experiment with the shop.
When I saw the first model I thought of our poor pensioners in Eastern Europe, having their little money slashed from the scheme and now earning their bread by crocheting and knitting. Is it an appeal to revive some oldschool non-fashionable accessorizing? Not convinced.
Pretty hats though. You get lots of them in Latvia on the central market.
Couldn't get my eyes of them, couldn't believe what I was seeing. A whole vanguard of International call girls.
Latvia, Russia (definitely under-aged), Spain
Afrika, Ukraine, ....whatever...some country with blue parrots.......
How much?
Tribal variations exhibited beautiful batik and skilfully mastered draperies. Missing a bit on innovation.
Im sure I saw them in my children's bible. There were definitely some sheep and zebras grazing around.
But instead we got Whitney Houston...creeepy man.
And finally for the London Olympics! Hurray, we've got one innovative outfit which is lots of cheap junk!
