This was yet another exercise. Shoes. And look, no toes required!

Always With The Drama

Photographed By Pauline Forje

These snapshots are from Manish Arora's Fall 2011 Collection Show. The event was held at L'Atelier Chardon Savard, in Paris, three days ago.

Interestingly, Arora got "mixed" (all it takes is one negative remark to mix things up) reviews last year, when I posted runway photos from his Spring and Summer collection 2011.

Two comments in particular - "Not beautiful" and "All the clothes are fab!" - resonated with me, mainly because they were each other's inverse. Bold (fashion) statements that pull in the direction of opposite extremes, is what I'm always prone to remember.

In Colour Where Available

These are additional photos from the Andy and Debb showroom, I attended (right beforeI ran into God) in New York last year. You can view some of the pieces in colour here.

Although I love attending the live runway shows, I'm finding that I'm slowly developing a preference for the showrooms. Of course, in the aforementioned events, there's an energy and electricity that can't be matched by people standing still on a podium. But when you're struggling to snap images for posterity, a motionless object can't be rivaled by a model, on the run, gone in 60 seconds.

Blood

The magazine "Blood" is a one-off publication by Malin Busck (one of the owners of the clothing store Hi On Life) and Sara Rossling. Their goal is to increase the awarness of sustainable fashion so that hopefully one day our planet, plus all that lives and breathes within, doesn't just waste away.
