Geometry

Tessellating and simple pieces that come together to make exiting and unexpecting results-this is what you will discover when purchasing from Bao Bao-Issey Miyake. The idea of form and function produced by chance is what the Japanese-born designer has enveloped into his exciting and interminable accessories line, first bought about in September 2010, Miyake created a wearable look full of charge and energy. The label 'Bao Bao' comes from the word 'bilbao' which is the comprise of repeated triangular pieces, and it is these tessellations that give the bag its unique and flexible shape, inspired by the metal panels that steel workers fuse together to create structures, the triangles are attached to mesh cloth to give it movement and the feeling of lightness.

Short hair and Vogue

When a woman cuts her hair...

"…it’s time for a change. Change is a funny thing; it can transform not only one’s physical appearance to perhaps something more empowering and elaborate, but can completely renovate that person’s embodiment of their persona into a new, exciting and wonderful being. Extravagant changes are part of human nature, we will simply never be satisfied with being ‘ordinary’ or ‘plain’ but strive to embody every eccentric on this planet until our locks run fuchsia and every inch of our skeleton is inked. It’s an unconventional arms-race which will be won by those who do stick out like a sore thumb, those who are not afraid of neon plaid or floor length cobalt braids á la Brooke Candy..."

This is a short extract from one of my 500 word entries for the Vogue Young Writers Talent Contest which I am planning to enter this year. The thought of exremely important people reading my somewhat mediocre writing really scares me, but this is such a fanstastic and thrilling opportunity as an aspirational editor, I just hope the Gods are on my side! (I think what I wrote above pretty much sums up why I got my hair cut!)

I'm trying to think possitivly about the weather and hoping it will warm up a little so I can actually go running again (this is painful to say, I hope winter will never end but I desperately need the exercise). I've got a good feeling about sports wear this spring and for me, paired with this Raf Simons tee and Monki tennis skirt, these Acne perforated cut-out boots are a fine piece of sportswear craftmanship.
