Saint Laurent, Paris Fashion Week: A Bit 'Hipster' Unfortunatly

Sorr, I'm really upset about the Being Human ending, so I'm being a bit of a bitch. I've been really busy, so this is a bit late time wise, as the Saint Laurent show was over a week ago, but hey. I think the time it took me shows how uninspired I was.
A new direction from Saint Laurent, which is freshly headed by HEDI SLIMANE, who I understand to be a bit of a free spirit. However, it may be a bit tying too hard to be 'effortless/cool', you know what I mean, a bit, dare I say it ... hipster. Sorry, not impressed, you could find much of it in All Saints, not that I have a problem particularly with All Saints, I just think that when I watch fashion shows I want to be wowed, and think 'how..why..how' not 'I saw that on ASOS I think'. I want to see impossibly beautiful  complex and original designs. Not the high street with sequins. Apparently other fashion journos have called it 'bad topshop'. Agreed, something extraordinary is required on the catwalk, if you can't do it there where can you?

This has all been 'done' SO MANY TIMES. Get some originality and but 'Yves' back in the title, it sounds so much better.

Tom Ford is Back, It's The Love Child of Roy Lichtenstein and An Eskimo

This is Tome Fords first Runway Show since 2004, so he really had to make an impression now that he's changed his mind about the evils of the runway.  So there was not of sequins and native/ethnic patters, ponchos and art deco style prints, with a good measure of pop art thrown in. And no 'minimalism' in sight, hurrah.

"I got tired of minimalism, I'm not in the mood for it - so there was lots of colour, I'm really in the mood for colour so that at times it was almost garish," said Ford.  

This Bomber jacket is amazing, it's just at the fabulous/gaudy line

KerPow.

Fringed Poncho

Just Look At Those Boots

The Boots, The Skirt,need I say more.  I think I love those boots. I think I actually love them.

Pop Art influence

I Need these Boots. You get the yellow. I get the blue. BOOM  = EXCELLENCY

This is what a stylish Eskimo would wear

I like blue fur. Something about blue fur is really nice.

This is really cool

Meadham Kirchhoff SS is Pretty Amazing

Check out the Meadham Kirchhoff profile on the British Fashion Council website for more.

If you want some Meadham Kirchhoff for your own fine selves go to the collection for Amazon, they're selling these brill jumpers for £75, which is still pretty costly, but compared to the average Meadham stuff, it's relatively cheap... The collection is from A/W, but if you live in Britain, you need jumpers all the time, they're essential, My faves are:
