Maison Martin Margiela 2013 Fall Couture
Maison Martin Margiela is one of my favorite designer. The reason is because I think his designs is different. It is actually weird but in a good way. Some people might dislike and find the collection from MMM is weird, wacko, and not wearable at all. Well, it might be but it still looks weirdly beautiful. The truth is I do not know much about him, except that he never shows up in the end of fashion show, but seeing his collection season to season makes me curious about him. I think I am going to try googling him after this.
This MMM couture collection is not that extravagant, which I think not really the style of MMM, but all of them looks so beautiful and detailed. So much details. Another thing that always makes me remember of MMM is the mask. It reminds me of the mask from S&M fetish but fancier and prettier. I think I might have some kind of obsession over the MMM masks. Am I the only one who like it?
"How the hell the models can walk straight while wearing the mask?", is the question that always bugging me.

Favorites from Valentino Fall 2013 Couture
This moment I saw this coat, I knew that I have found my dream coat. The color of the coat and the golden colored details in the shape of insects. Oh, my.
Love the complicated details on the top beneath the coat. The combination between the color of the messy looking threads is so amazing. It somehow looks like a bird's feathers.
The color, the pattern, and do not forget about the texture. I cannot stop thinking how it feels like when you touch the details of the dress with your hands.
What I can see from the couture collection of Valentino is that some of the clothing has sea creatures and insects pattern or details. As you can see for this one, they use seashell and some kind of coral patterns.
Love, love, love. I do not know how the express my love for this dress besides the word 'love' itself.
Totally in love with the patterns of this dress. It looks like something from old educational animal science book where the illustration can looks so creepy yet it looks so beautiful. The velvet part of the dress looks cute too, especially from behind where it looks like ropes (I did not include the picture here, sorry).

Why I love Wes Anderson's Films
First, I did not make all of these. I found them on Tumblr a few weeks ago.
Second, I think that these pictures summarized why I love Wes Anderson's films.
Third, I heavily recommend all of you to watch his films.
Fourth, if you want to find inspirations for photography, you can find lots of it by watching his films.
Band of Outsiders Spring 2014 Menswear
Maybe it is a little too late (well, it is) but I just remembered that I saved a few photos (well, almost all of them) of Band of Outsiders Spring 2014 Menswear collection. This collection is probably one of my favorites from Spring 2014 Menswear collection. Besides of the clothing, the way they photographed the collection impressed me. It looks weird, funny, and fun at the same time. The model looks like that he was having fun by posing funny poses in front of the camera. Talk about the clothing, well, by the fact that I posted almost all of the collection, means that I actually love the collection.

It Started In Naples (1960)
Yesterday, I spent my night by watching a movie by one of my favorite actress, Sophia Loren. What I admired about her is her voluptuous curvy body and her Italian beauty. After watching several 60s movies, now I can see that the curvy body type is what women at that time idolize. Another examples are Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe. The big hips, the small waist, the big breasts. Even with those features, they all can look so beautiful and sensual too. It somehow makes my confidence increase a little bit more, since I also have a big hips. I used to be embarrassed and try to cover my big hips since I do not like the look of it.
Well, back to the movie, the story line is pretty simple. Probably this kind of story line is pretty common nowadays. Nonetheless, there are several things that make me love this movie.
- First, the tone color of the movie. I am a sucker for 60s color movies. I do not know why, since I am not a film expert, the colors are prettier in my opinion than HD movies nowadays. There is something that made it looks so bright and fresh.
- Second, the 60s Italian clothing references. No need to explain.
Look at the man in the middle with blue shirt and short pants! Kind of remind me of Dolce & Gabbana Menswear ;-)
- Third, the jokes. This is actually the first 60s movie that I actually get the jokes and laugh about it.
- And the last one is this scene.
