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.

Kanye West RTW SS 2012

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.

Porter Grey SS RTW 2012

New York September 8, 2011 - Typically I have no problem with accessories, but today I am a bit bothered by dangling accoutrements; all a person needs it to cover their upper and lower body parts, no more. I am ready for the tea party - ready to leap into the patches of sunny azaleas with my younger siblings and cousins. I feel effortlessly pleasant while I maintain my classy sophistication, never will I be portrayed as spurious.

Carolina Herrera SS 2012

New York September 12, 2011 - “Do tell me why I got the feeling that the little angels didn’t delight my company as much as I did theirs?,” pondered the baroness, resting her delicate features against her white glove. (The 25-mph wind was blowing against her rosy cheeks and her sunhat had to be held down by a white silk scarf; she was in the passenger’s side of her fiance’s Morris Cowley.) It was because she was assiduously correcting the invisible dirt and feathers on her thin & diaphanous dresses instead of playing with the children’s budgies and bright yellow canaries. “Just be natural, and try not to ingratiate yourself into children’s lives, my dear,” but her fiance dared not proclaim this aloud, for fear of her feminist brusqueness.

Charlotte Ronson SS 2012

New York March 10, 2011 - It’s springtime and a mother calls her daughter to come  help with pinning up the laundry on the line in the newly flourishing garden. The daughter dances down the stairs, high-spirited and rosy because she is wearing a new white dress she has sewn. Her mother is so proud, “What a splendid garment! It is reminiscent of Claude Monet’s Water Lilies and other impressionist paintings,” and in that moment she embraced her young child seamstress - her own blood.
