Daredevil

Lately I've been obsessing over these sneakers by Isabel Marant, which leads me to my other obsession: really trashy, time-wasting phone apps. Simpsons Tapped Out is my favourite, and Captain lance Murdock's daredevil costume reminded me so much of the details on those shoes. Finding links between fashion and components of pop culture satisfies my idiosyncratic tendency to catalog things in order to make sense of the world around me.

"When teenagers complain that they want to be treated like human beings, it's usually because they are being treated like human beings."

"We'll just concoct ourselves a little hangover cure that'll induce her to spew red, white and blue"

"You were nothing before you met me. You were playing Barbies with Betty Finn."

"You wanted to be a member of the most powerful clique in school. If I wasn't already the head of it, I'd want the same thing."

"First you ask if you can be red, knowing that I'm always red."

"Transfer to Washington. Transfer to Jefferson. No one at Westerberg is going to let you play their reindeer games."

 

"Heather Chandler is one bitch that deserves to die."

  

"Killing her won't solve anything. I say we just grow up and be adults. But before that, I'd like to see Heather Chandler puke her guts out."

 
"No, my life's not perfect. I don't really like my friends."

"Great pate, mom, but I gotta motor if I wanna be ready for that party tonight."

"I don't really like your friends either."

"If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being. You'd be a game-show host."

"Trust me, she skips the Saturday morning trip to Grandma's even when she's not hungover."

I Want Candy

I realise that these images taken from the Australian Vogue X David Jones editorial are literally so last season but I've been drawn to pastel tones and clean lines. This has largely been fueled by Susie Lau's comprehensive archive, Plastic Candy but also comes by way of J.W. Anderson's most recent collections and mainline Jeremy Scott, as well as Moschino. But before I can delve into any of that I felt it necessary to describe what inspired those works and revisit S/S 2015. Spring/ Summer 2016 promises so much and it feels like designers are willing to create the collections they've always dreamed of, experiment with new techniques and invest in the weird and wonderful. Although there's a lot of black and white in this editorial in particular I feel like this dichotomy of hot and cold will play a major role next season. Also I just really admire it and feel that Grimes would totally be on board with this if you added say, fingerless leather studded gloves or something like that?For her it's all about accessories and these outfits are the skeleton of street style magic.
