Inspirational Women: Wangechi Mutu
I came across Wangechi Mutu’s art a few years ago and thought it was really interesting. Her base references to women, Africa, nature and science are always intriguingly represented, subverted and integrated into complex and startlingly beautiful savage, colourful art that I find fascinating. This week, I watched the Blouin ArtInfo interview “A Fantastic Journey” […]
MoreGareth Pugh Fall/Winter 2014
Winter white from Gareth Pugh. Love it. Wrap a model in – what looks like – baco-foil and yet, still, be … fabulous? Oh, yes. It’s my favourite designer of this decade: Gareth Pugh, F/W 2014. Sy-Fy. Game of Thrones. Drama, darling? Way out there 21stC … Not much bacofoil showing here on +Black because […]
MoreMoyuru At Walkers Of Pottergate
I really like this oversize top by Moyuru, £160 from Walkers of Pottergate and it comes in my favourite black too. Problem is I have a ton of tops at the moment so it feels a bit extravagant to get another. Should I, should I not? Deep questions … if you’re plus sized or an […]
MoreFairytale Fashion: Dolce & Gabbana
Maybe it is more of the same or similar but I loved the Dolce&Gabbana F/W 2014 Milan Show. Totally bought into the set and staging; love the jewels, glitz and glam; want me a snood, cape and a pair of velvet knickers with my pointy elf boots … Fairytales, alpha heroes, fantasy knights R me. […]
MoreDesigner: Alberta Ferretti
For many years, Alberta Ferretti has been producing insanely exquisite clothes and her Fall/Winter 2014 Collection was just beautiful. Glorious fabrics, colours and styling throughout the whole range. I love the chunky fake pearl necklaces, fringes, lace, socks, shoes and boots as much as the ethereal delicacy of shimmer, shine and hue – all so […]
MoreFendi Furry Hat
Is it possible to feel more love than I do for this Fendi Fur-dorable Hat? I don’t think so. Additional fab, furry, Fendi fun is scattered throughout the F/W 2014 Collection … view it all on Fendi Runway at Fashionising.com Be still my beating heart …
MoreRobert Yasuda: A Luminous Frame
The paintings currently showing at the sundaram tagore gallery, in New York to 1 March, by Robert Yasuda are just so beautiful. This one, above, I would love to own and would look just great in my home but, sadly, I suspect, is way out of my price range. Nevertheless, lovely to look at … […]
MoreLust List: Manolos Mules
Screen snapped these from UK Harpers Bazaar today, March 2014 edition, I want. I want. I want. Sadly, life’s realities trump desire and aspiration. Life sucks. [That’s for non-standing, poor circulation, neurologically numb wheelchair type feet. Some wheelies may be luckier … Though some walking people might need a wheelchair if they try to, you […]
MoreImportant Pink Moments …
Loved this quirky take on Important Pink Moments in Comme des Garcons History by AnOther Magazine last week. It fits right in with my ethos of not being massively interested in fashion but totally loving a individual perspective on style. CdG is all about the ‘black’ aesthetic, right? Hell, no.
