Gareth Pugh Pitti 2011

Such splendor my eyes have seen!

miraculous holograms,

painted prisms,

melting into myriads of mystery,

brilliantly woven into works of mastery,

a suspenseful build up,

a master of perfect timing,

colorfully assimilated textures,

geometric pictures,

a collage of creativity,

dreams are made,

make way for an inspiration seed,

dripping with beauty,

lustfully decorated,

scantily-clad in definition,

if visuals were words,

this would be outspoken.

Oh such a giant world floating with inspirational genius' energy.

A Brilliant Film By Ruth Hogben

Discover: Bao Tranchi ♥

Blessed with the bounty of working with the likeness of LA's own futuristic designer (by way of Vietnam) " BaoTranchi," I pulled some of her unbelievable threads to style a S/S 2010 lookbook for a shoe brand based out of LA. With an opportunity to help expand her brand, and utilize such immensely woven beauty, I got to take a visit inside her loft-showroom, and got a chance to lose myself in her futuristic bliss. She's developed over 300+ pieces which she's handcrafted herself, with such a wide array of influence, some of the themes I can see her collection falling into are:

+ Romantic
+ Futuristic
+ Military
+ 18th Century
+ Ethereal
+ Medieval
+ Sci-fi
+ Gothic
+ Couture

Bao Tranchi is unmistakeably ahead of her time, her pieces as stunningly timeless. Having grown quite successful in her career as an American independent designer, her biography is rather impressive. The still images above are taken from runway show in Vikingaheimmar, Iceland. Bao designed for the TV series "America's Next Top Model" [For "4" consecutive seasons, also handpicked as a guest judge for cycle "7"] Her label was featured prominently on on ANTM's advertising billboards & commercials for "4" back to back cycles. From 1996 - 2010, her label has been in the ANTM spotlight. She's received phenomenal commercial acclamation having designed for the artist Prince, as well as: Janet Jackson, Kelly Clarkson, Courtney Love, Winona Ryder, and Aimee Mann. She's done costume design for films like: "Queen of the Dammed" [2002] and "Journey From The Fall [2004]." I'd say Tranchi's design aesthetic, cusps both originality and fluidity with an air of romanticism, and a futuristic touch. She is far set apart from any designer I've seen on the global fashion runways, which is both amazing and inspiring. ♥ ♥ xx

Make Me Digital....

Londontowne's design duo Basso & Brooke has created quite a digital canvas for A/W 2010. With a bit of the Eastern hemisphere as inspiration, silks, prints, and delicacy fill the form for Fall. I am swooning over the rich color contrasting and satinesque details. ♥ x

Spain-based photographer and art director Paco Peregrín takes "Alien Beauty" to the next level with his hardcore interpretation for magazine. The works of alienesque fashion & advertising is clearly evident. Each model is obtrusively adorned with avant garde hairstyles, wardrobe, and perfectly airbrushed faces...With futurism as a key theme, there is a truth behind this story, "Alien fashion can only be the Future...." ♥ x

Welch designer Julien Macdonald and his body-con scuba tailored tulle dress is something to live for at a price tag of $2488.00. My favorite thing(s) about this piece = colors/contrasting/asymmetrical lines and the square shoulders. Magical! ♥ x
