Lobotomy for a Egotist - Alexander Wang Fall 2012




There once was a dark Princess who would never cease gabbing away about her achievements and possessions. She rarely considered other people’s successful actions as their own, and thought that she was the wisest of them all with the world on a string.
Karma, Destiny, and Fate had been spying on this particular narcissist:
“What a cause! Wait till I get my effect on her!” bossed Karma.
“It is all her. We must show her what she deserves!” agreed Destiny.
But Fate was the most enlightened, “It is out of all control. What ever happens, happens.”

Sure enough, the people that the Princess would act pretentious towards abandoned her.
Now who could she boast to, but her own self?
Unable to be heard,
She became trapped

in her own

head.

I’m a celestial body that has fallen from another Universe, but who are you to understand? My people are more technologically advanced than you, so there is no reason for you to try and declare battle with us. We have the utilities to eliminate your whole planet at the speed of light.

I come in peace, and you can take it to my mother’s meteorite.

My whole life I have been anxious to visit this rock you call “Earth” to verify other extraterrestrial beings do exist. There is no reason to doubt anymore.

Also, my kingdom voted that I notify you of the end of your sun and of your solar system. We invite you to bring your kingdom near ours - we have agreed to provide you with all resources needed to survive and blossom. But we have one condition: that we are permitted to revive Alexander McQueen to create our Kings’ & Queens’ garments.

Meadham Kirchhoff Edward Meadham & Benjamin Kirchhoff Sept. 20, 2011 - London “Cheeky,” she sparkled at the boys impudently staring at her from across the playhouse. This young girl wasn’t ordinary, and she hated being called “cute” because she saw herself as a rather peculiar being, and so did everyone else. She had no friends at school, but she didn’t care: her time was spent with fantastical stories about wizards and kings and jesters - and not to forget the lands she traveled to when no one was else aware. It was never her birthday, but she was eternally offered banquets in her honour by Queens and faeries. It was never her birthday, but she sat amongst the most richest of fabrics and gold. It was never her birthday, but she was always allowed to eat cake. photo source The video for this show is even more intense, like the Jill Stuart show on ecstasy…or just plain old Courtney Love.

Oct. 1st, 2011 - Paris

It’s a cool night in the city: the winter’s being seduced to the Southern Hemisphere while the roof tops are beginning to welcome the sun’s kisses as if they had gone on a first date. Girlfriends are putting their finishing touches of lush makeup onto their smooth skin. Throwing on a fur vest for a last goodbye to icy weather, and checking their stilettos in the mirror for confidence and magnetism, they go off into the nightlife of trendy DJs and exclusive parties. Eyes never cease to follow.

Jill Stuart RTW SS 2012

Sept. 10th, 2011 - New York

A little lady walks up to the candy stand in the middle of the mall - it is her preference above all other stores. She loves the colours that seem glow through the transparent glass: from aqua mint, bubblegum pink, sunglow yellow, candy corn orange, to lime green fruit slices, they tempt all of her senses. Chic as is her mother’s disposition, the latter pulls her blossoming daughter away from the blueberry-ice rock candies, “Come along Sweetheart, mother needs to find her dresses for Paris.” “Basic” candlelit dinners that her mother relished was not Sweetheart’s “cup-of-cakes”; she had a taste for the gold-covered chocolate at the end of the rainbow.

“Don’t be such a pushover,” Ilsa ordered herself. She knew she was a highly impressionable girl, and that was reasonable, but she knew it wasn’t decent now that she was landing her plane in womanhood, “you’re a dame.” This was her second week at the factory, the first time she had ever touched machinery other than a stove in her life - Ilsa wasn’t a snob, she just never needed to hold a position in the force before the war.  At least she wouldn’t get greasy replacing her father’s job as an manager. “We were meant to be,” she articulated to the assembly line belt down below. She continued work, assigning this gobbledegook aside.

Louis Vuitton RTW SS 2012 (Marc Jacobs, Creative Director)

Show: Oct. 5th, 2011 - Paris

The sun’s light is creating flowery shadows on the spring green grass through the new leaves dancing amongst the trees. My laced parasol fits just right beneath their sweet branches. I am searching through these cool patches for a bouquet of daisies to water in my icy-white porcelain vase. There are pastel-coloured blossoms already kissing the breezy spring air. The bunny rabbits are peeking from beneath the soft earth, the shy frogs are hopping into the reflected skies. Behind the hydrangeas I have found my dearests, my namesake.

Kate Moss, in her late thirties, closes the show!

Backstage @ John Richmond. Dragon cuff, isn’t it awesome? It comes from the latin word “Draco” which means snake. Dragons symbolize infinity (swallowing it’s tail), wisdom, magic, transformation (shedding skin like a snake), resilience & longevity, and protection (coming from its strength). I love snakes and magick, so maybe I should splurge a bit and buy this, it does fit. http://blog.emmaalvarez.com/2007/10/symbol-of-dragon.html

Felder Felder RTW SS 2012 (Designers: Daniela and Annette Felder)

Show: Sept. 16, 2011 - London

Exceptionally  chained to the cosmic stars of the dark skies, I let myself go as the wild sounds surround. Drum, bass, and electric guitar keep my head as my neck writes a life of its own. This army of me is young at heart screaming it’s edge in studs amongst the titular rock queens. Watch as I become a ballerina in independent melody and tangled in an assembled mess of the fierce.
