okay, so uni is over for oh, about four months until october, and my exams are all done and dusted, eventually. so i really have no reason to be talking about this film outside uni, other than i actually enjoyed it, unexpectedly. pedro almodóvar is a cinematic genius, and my class had such a laugh studying 'las mujeres'. it's typical 80's cheese in that it's all power suits and chasing after boys, but i loved it! and a young antonio banderas makes it all the more pleasurable to watch. anyway, i did have a reason for bringing up 80's powersuits...
ahh, margiela. i'm not too sure how i feel about this whole 80's shoulder pad phenom making a come back everywhere, even in primark, no less, but i know it's nothing positive. however, there's nothing i wouldn't do for a bit of margiela shoulder action in the form of a sharply tailored blazer. i hate to bring out the whole 'investment' spiel, as Queen Michelle discussed, but honestly believe it would be something i could keep and treasure forever. maybe one day, a la carine:
let's just hope that topshop or worse, river island, get on board before i get the chance to buy a little margiela for myself! which brings me nicely to my next point. okay, so i'm all for people spending extra for quality and originality instead of buying products which are made en masse via topshop, as much as i love topshop. but, a little part of me got vv. excited when i saw topshop has so obviously ripped off THAT alexander wang dress.
it's not even subtley done, it's a straight up imitation of the 'dress that won't go away', as dubbed by Fashionista.
and as ashamed as i am to admit it, i bought it. we'll see how it goes, and whether the guilt kicks in.
