Bang! Bang! We Want A. Wang!

It totally stinks that we were not able to find any good [1] Alexander Wang stuff at final sales anywhere at all! Argh… Did someone hide ‘em all for themselves – instead of benefitting the food good of the society? Seriously, do I really have to pay full price to wear one of those extremely cool but thin-as-nothing Tee from him? [2] Besides, you know what? Last season stock is actually quite appetising on me, despite being ‘old’ and ‘out of fashion’.

Gucci Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Milano

I had been thinking about Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2010 show for a week now. Surely, a show, with such a different approach, style and look as what creative designer Frida Giannini had been doing for her previously collections at the fabulous Italian fashion house, really needs some digesting. After further consideration, I came to the final conclusion that I like it. It’s fresh! It’s sleek! It’s sexy! Still super Gucci! Still super Frida! Still super Great!

Alexander Wang Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010

Honestly, when Alexander Wang, the 25-year-old designer, first became officially established, I never really felt that he was up for the title. Due to his youthful appearance, I always felt that he might not be a serious designer; but I was so wrong. He is just truly talented. What a visionary? The real turning point for me was when I watched one of his interviews at saksfifthavenue.com, which really demonstrated his true passion for the clothes he creates and that really made me believe in him. I appreciate his work even more now that I know more about his aesthetics and I fully understand why Freja is all “Ja! Ja!” for his clothes.

Gucci Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2009 Milano

Ever since Mr. Ford left, I have mixed feelings for Gucci – the Italian luxury house currently under the reign of the creative designer Frida Giannini. When I say mixed feelings, I really mean it. There is something I love about it and something against it. It operates precisely at a 1:1 ratio and that is where the trouble begins, because neither side wins nor loses. Frankly speaking, Gucci is really something a part of me. It is an intimate subject matter and the fact that I cannot decide whether Gucci is still a friend or foe makes me utterly mental. This season, the emergence of such an uneasy feeling is no exception.

Dear Diary,

Today, I am so happy, because you know what happened? I bought V55 and French Revue de Modes #13! What a surprise? If you could recall, I did declare my desire to own V55 back in October (link). I thought I missed those issues, but it turned out they just arrived late to my store. Phew… Best of all, my favorite covers were available, because V Magazine feature 14 covers this fall/winter 08/09, which are [1]:

  1. Eniko Mihalik
  2. Malgosia Bela
  3. Anna Selezneva
  4. Daria Werbowy
  5. Frankie Rayder
  6. Abbey Lee Kershaw
  7. Natasha Poly
  8. Sunniva Stordahl
  9. Christy Turlington
  10. Agyness Deyn
  11. Naomi Campbell
  12. Lara Stone
  13. Anja Rubik
  14. Eva Herzigova

whereas French Revue de Modes #13 features 13 different covers, which include:

  1. Abbey Lee Kershaw
  2. Karlie Kloss
  3. Ali Stephens
  4. Ksenia Kahnovich
  5. Olga Sherer
  6. Regina Feoktistova
  7. Polina Barbasova
  8. Rachel Clarck
  9. Arlenis
  10. Yulia Kharlapanova, Nicole Kasper and Sarah Stephens
  11. Eniko Mihailik
  12. Coco Rocha
  13. Sarah Stephens

What I had not foreseen in October is that I never would have thought I would become a ‘fan’ of the Australian model Abbey Lee.  As a result of this new passionate flame, a war struck instantaneously in the so-called organ within my body called “brain” when I saw the two issues of V55 – Ms. Kershaw vs. Ms. Selezneva – stacked rather scruffily on the shelf, each of them alluring me to take them home with their wildly insanely framed good looks. After a 15-mins or so struggle, during which the vendor of the ‘brain’ just stood still with one eye fixed upon the aussie rebel and the other at the russian babe, Ms. Selezneva won as originally planned, only because her face is better positioned on the cover.

After that difficult selection, I barely had any energy to move even though I had been standing still at one spot. Perhaps this is because many braincells had been working hyper-actively previously. Thank god that the choice of French was made so easy: only two copies of Ksenia were left. I just had to choose one that is in perfect condition… and well… that took another 10 minutes.

But it’s worth it, as you can see below, they are looking good at my home, no?

Mmm... Magazines!

Mmm... made in Russia

I just want to thank the lord for answering my prayers. I will treasure them for sure. See you tomorrow soon [2]!

Yours,

-Yul X-
