Still thumbing through the “biggest Vogue issue ever” - damn you Anna Wintour, I stumbled on an ad and initially looked at the product being featured. The product was a pair of shoes. Typical designer ankle boots, nothing super special. I simply thought, ok how many hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars is this boot going to cost? I then proceeded to move up the page to see the designer behind the boots. Click the photo below to see who it is.

I couldn’t believe it either. Not like this is earth shattering news. I remember having an conversation with another blogger and she said that this “designer” was the shit. I just couldn’t believe though for the 3 seconds I looked at the boots without seeing the complete ad, that they made what appeared to be high quality boots. I’ll tease no more, just click the photo.

We don’t swoon for many gowns, but we’re swooning for this one. It is effing breathtaking. From Xterity’s London Fashion Week Spring 2008 collection. (see the full gallery at here)

I somehow missed this review on iPapier, but this completely illustrates how sometimes you understand the fluidity of a gown by looking at it in a photo, not video, not words, just a simple snapshot. Take a look (you can click the photo below for a larger image)

The full review and gallery is here.

It’s Barbarella meets Flash Gordon at the Kristian Aadnevik. Several retro space aged designs graced the runway for this interesting show. For the full gallery head over to iPapier.
