Florian ‘Eccentric Ectasy’ SS2012

Just what I've been waiting for. Accessories for the brave and bold. It's always admirable when brands forgo the numerous opportunities created by in terms of mass market appeal the interest of art, and in this case, eccentricity. Florian creates a collection with the potential to send a loud message to consumers: we're different, and we like it. The colours, the piercings, the tattoos, it all makes me revel in admiration. There's something so alluring about counterculture, and again, the rawness and edginess in this collection is what first caught my eye. The pieces are bold enough to be paired with a simple outfit, yet can potentially become THE outfit, as evidenced by these photos.

Looks like the best 80s party to have ever been, and frankly, I'm not too please I didn't receive an invitation.

LOVE PAMELA LOVE

Pamela Love's Fall 2011 collection. 

Living in Montreal, sunny fields of green and short shorts make up an uncommon combination during our fall season. For us, the term "fall" resonates memories of hot chocolate, crisp winds, and oversized knit sweaters. Even though these pictures provide a contrast to the fall season I'm used to, it becomes obvious that these pieces belong to unique category of their own, regardless of seasonal changes. There is something incredibly mystical about this collection, it's pieces looking like they've once belonged to an underground crystal mine. The jewelry literally jumps out at you, almost with a mind of it's own. There's nothing you can really do about it, except to just sit and observe in amazement.  What's even more awesome about this collection is the pictures themselves, who compliment the jewelry so accurately. Whoever was behind the creativity of the shoot is sheer genius. It just seems like the world captured in these pictures is totally separate from our own, and 100 times more interesting. The combat boots and fluorescent pink hair also provide a new take on the supposed daintiness of female jewelry, something less refined with a rugged appeal. And I'm in love all over again.
