Who know metal could be so sexy?

Maybe inspired by the Dolce and Gabbana metal corset dress.... But still this artisan is so cool~ She managed to mould her very own metal dress creation! (in the process burning herself a few times...) Her creation is gorgeous in a way that makes one think of history and vintage. Less futuristic than Dolce and Gabbana's though much more "vintageous" and has that elegant spirit~
Love~~~

Fashion Armour~ Unwearable? think again!

The armour has always been a part of fashion history. Metal armour, has an attractiveness of its own. Over the years, we get to see more and more designers, both mainstream and alternative, do their own version of the metal armour. Made famous perhaps by Dolce and Gabbana in their 2007 fall rtw show, full metal corset belts and full metal corset dresses are in a league of its own, merging masculinity with femininity, history with contemporary times. Rather futuristic in appearance, it appeals not only to fetish lovers, as seen by the enthusiastic response of the public~ Lady Gaga immortalized the metal corset dress by wearing it in her Paparazzi video, propelling metal fashion into the world stage.

So~~~ Ok, some of you know that I bought a metal corset belt, however it had a few problems, so my artesan will re-make one for me after she finishes her show (yes, she's busy with metal fashions~) So now, I will content myself with this corset belt- feminine and elegant cut out patterns, contrasted with chains and ribbons... all made in stainless steel~

Oh, and i found this inspiring armour photo ~ a full armour but a dress armour~ aint that chic? something abt it simply radiates elegant, athough its a war prop.... an oxymoron~ ?

Rodarte, gothic love

If you didnt see the runway show for Rodarte 2010 ss rtw, you really are missing out~!
Bold ebony tattoos with gothic black, shredded, almost alien like or tribal like outfits, its a sensory overload feast~

Since i cant really afford the clothes, i can at least dream about them shoes~ nicholas kirkwood designed this baby for rodarte- rockability to the max, without ever compromising glam~

Classic corset! LOVE,WANT, DROOL!

Finally, 2010! Happy new year! I sure do hope that 2010 is way better than 2009! The past 6 months has been really trying for me. Holiday festivities, a broken heart and fashion information overload sure hasn’t helped my blogging schedule… sorry for not updating for a while now…

Anyway, I will start clearing my blogging debts as in now~~

Corsets, its difficult to find a classic but glamorous corset today without an overdose of beading and diamante. I admit I do love the bling kind as well, but among the seasonal hits, one has to have something classic. The kind I had in mind has a beige satin background with intricate black lace overlay. Classic, feminine, mysterious.

God, it was really hard to find the perfect one I had in mind. Until I stumbled across Dita Von Teese’s first corset made by Mr Pearl. I know he makes delightfully scrumptious corsets, but this one is just… words evade me…. With a peachy beige undertone, black chantilly lace overlay on the bodice, scallop trim lace edges, complete with black ribbon bows and garter belts, this is a must have for any corset lover! Too bad its that hard to get an appointment with Mr Pearl…. Not to mention really really pricey…. Not to worry, I will get a similar looking one soon (I hope).

Galliano for Dior Couture

I love couture. I get very excited when the couture season is coming up. Galliano for Dior never fails to take mybreath away. Season after season, he unpredictability brings extreme exhiliration for many. Most of his themes are based on a period in history like ancient egypt, ancient japan, the 30s-40s, renaissance period, etc. Some of his other themes are related to the opera, fairy tales (like the wizard of oz), etc.

But as always, the basic dior spirit is always there. The sheer fabric, lace, bee wasp waist with flaring hems, romantic femininity, etc.

Wonder wt he is cooking up for next season?~~~

Enjoy his past collections which i selectively put here for ur viewing pleasure~~
