Menswear F/W 09.10

Damir Doma F/W 09.10.

I love the menswear season. Capsuled with draped silhouettes, textured leather, detailing expertise-- and what's not to love when it comes down to the men? Martin Margiela F/W 09.10 didn't work for me; except for a couple of crocodile-lined blazers. I loved, however, the bottoms at Givenchy Homme (bless Riccardo) in lace-ups and multiple textures and the hooded (and cowled, perhaps?) wear at Juun J. Number (N)ine's menswear for fall reminds me of Arielle de Pinto's hand-crocheted masks.. and then at YSL, Stefano seemed a little disjointed to me? I don't know, but it was boyish to mannish and it was sort of swirling from one era to another, but that's just me. Other honorable mentions: Kris van Assche and Julius (because the ripped wool sweater was made of magic.) But, my heart had a winner:

Rick Owens F/W 09.10.

Ain't nothing wrong to crush on

Yves Saint Laurent S/S '09 boots, Martin Margiela phyton blazer, Pamela Love birdskull necklace, Martin Margiela nail ring, Sigerson Morrison studded gladiators, Balmain studded leather jacket

I'd hand over a limb for ANY of those above (esp: YSL boots, Margiela blazer) because I am 83% convinced that we belong together. Or atleast, in an alternate continuum. I missed Mogwai live in Kuala Lumpur last night because of school priorities (heh!) and is down with fever. Nonsense stuff. Current status: saving for the Miu Miu leather stamp clutch (of dreams), tickets to Rihanna (fangirl moment) and for Radiohead to come down to Kuala Lumpur. Please, God?

Shoe Porn: YSL Boots

Goddamnit, Stefano? I cannot sleep tonight.

Paris FW: Yves Saint Laurent

Stefano Pilati is, indubitably-- in the higher echelons when it comes to precise, immaculately done tailoring. Aside from the shot of coyly sexy elegance in the form of reworked YSL classics (several versions of the slim-cut drop-crotch pants, clean-cut pantsuits with fresher silhouettes-- grr?), Stefano Pilati will always be God in my book.
