wang wannabe

i loved the football/athletic-wear inspiration behind Alexander Wang's spring 2010 collection, but did not like the styling and execution as much. here's my take on the sporty look:

a high ponytail is the most appropriate hairstyle for this look, i think. (and also my hair needs a washing!)

drkshdw items all have this "tail" that i never know what to do with but i can never bring myself to cut it off...

a cashmere beanie completes the look.***



ITEMS (rollover mouse to view detailed picture)
drkshdw cropped sweatshirt
Rick Owens drawstring leather miniskirt (from Barneys sale/NYC)

  11. you know, i effing hated that wang collection when i saw it on the runway, but i came across some of the pieces in opening ceremony today and they're not so bad in person. i think all the "sporty" styling was way over the top in the collection + the related editorials, but i think the pieces + looks like the one your'e wearing actually work quite well.

  13. haha. i cut mine off. i didnt' know what on earth to do with it either, but felt like i would look like an idiot with the tail hanging.
    re wang: the collection was a nice idea, but i MUCH prefer your execution. and not in the creepy blogger obsessed way. :-)
    you look lovely here! that skirt is STILL to die for. your dry cleaning bill must be quite a killer.

  14. I like the picture of you stepping out of the frame!

    cropped sweaters are not for me, but I do like how you styled it. the ponytail keeps it sporty and yet chic!
