Hervé Léger



"I wasted my week on billowing dreams
hiding under seams and inside sleeves
being swept away by cascading illusions
until i fell
into a right fit
with a pair of slippers to match"© fashion and fables



Once upon a preconceived idea, i thought it was best not to wear too fitting clothes. I am too small; I will resemble a little skeleton. une petite skeleton, mais no?mais qui? actually i think someone planted that into my mind when i wasn't looking.
But since i am nearing an mid-20s life crisis. I hear i should be anyways. doesn't everyone have one? Give it up for 28. yahhhh
So i was thinking of changing my wardrobe into a more Herve-leger body-con one to suit this transition.
Anyone looking to buy me a Ferrari or find me a 22-yr old boy toy by the name of Robert Patterson is so more than welcome.
I like the colour red, and prefer my boys french or latin, cheers!


Herve, Leger. I just like to say his name. don't you! herrrrrrrrrrrve. oh the french. Actually, you all do know his real name was Hervé L. Leroux. Well herveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee brought in the bondage dress look which can work. You might need some resuscitation after awhile, but it works.
i picked up a pick one in topshop-on sale. of course. For like 15 quid. I know. High five me!
And pink makes it less, well, one has to ease into a mid-20s midlife crisis.

if i could afford the above nrs.
dreams.

Costello Tagliapietra heralds a return




"i pried open the back door
and sunk into your arm chair
fiddled with your papers
bit into your pens
and waited

you walked in
handed me chrysanthemums
and put on a kettle for two"© fashionandfables

I am back.
I know, i know, i didn't really say goodbye properly. But i never really spend much time on such. I am much better at hellos.
so. hello again..
New York sends her love, Japan bows respectfully of course.
And i say " enough with the civilities... i am ready to get this party started already"

Tried as i did to resist, i bought some fashionable goodies.
Notable about 5 pieces from Costello Tagliapietra's line for Uniqlo.
i know bad bad girl. oeps. But they were on sale. Like ON FREAKING GREAT SALE in their flagship store in Ginza. i couldn't resist. I tried but i just couldn't.

And as you all know C&T are one of my all time favourite designers. Mainly because they understand drapery and colours like no other.

Above are a few numbers from their collection. I wish i could have gotten my hands on the yellow nr, but alas, the fashion gods willed it otherwise.

I love my boys. And how cute are they in their suspenders and their matching plaid shirts!. love it.
