Yes, me again! I know I am posting several posts today and I will post several tomorrow as well. International Fashion Week is only 4 days and there’s just so much fashion joy to celebrate. This time I want to celebrate the summer scrumptiousness that is Shiki’s Pink Fantasy.
I hopped over to Vie Privee – a new place introduced to me by Hybrid Ansar who sent me a lovely list of LMs to explore.

Well, don’t tell their spouses and partners, but I think that Saschi Vixen of Adam n Eve, Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice and Chance Greatrex of DARE must have had at least a mental mènage á trois because their creations work together so perfectly. When I saw the Adam n Eve Chrome skin I immediately thought of Baiastice more avant designs with a futuristic edge. Putting them together, I knew I wanted a different aesthetic for the poses than the usual and pulled out DARE’s magnificent homage to the art of Robert Longo. I love what the three create together in the pictures I shot at Omega Point. I shot most of the poses in the set if you care to click through to see the rest.
The next highlight from the Accessory Fair is from Sigma. Sigma happens to be one of my favorite Greek letters – as mathematically it is the sign for summing everything that follows. It iis the Sum of All Things – now doesn’t that sound powerful and important? Such a significant name is justified by the unique statement jewelry from Sigma. The details are right, the elements are organic and natural and the designs are modern and powerful. I think that pretty much sums up the parts of comtemporary jewelry making that make a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Of course, great jewelry deserves great clothing and this is no exception.
Louise Brooks was a great silent film actress and model – in fact, I would be surprised if you have not seen pictures of her at one time or another – including many striking nudes. She was very much the iconic image of the flapper era with her short bob and long pearl necklaces and her dramatic, defined makeup. Dahlinks, in keeping with the Broadway theme of the Accessory Fair has produced the Louise Brooks jewelry set of necklace, earrings and cocktail ring. It is quintessentially Art Deco – bold and geometric. Nonetheless, despite its adherence to the era, I did not pair it with something vintage, instead imagining what Louise Brooks would wear if she were alive today.
I found the answer in my Baiastice 2009 folder – the bold assymetric, figure-hugging Black Plastik. She would not be wearing vintage, but would wear the avant-garde. She was bold in her wardrobe then and she would be bold now.
When I tried on this Selene Silver dress from MiaMai, I knew instantly that I was going to wear it with the Diram jacket I wore in the last post – but this time in black. And yes, those Izzie’s Studded Leggings because I like them and am never taking them off.
So I checked out Diram this Saturday and was pleased to find a gorgeous jacket and pants suit that will also give my wardrobe some fantastic separates for mixing and matching. The highlight of the outfit is this gorgeous wool jacket. I love it’s structured tailoring and bold form.
