Sporadic Rant: Charlie vs. Sarah
Many people say, "I love when girls have boys' names". FYI: it's a large load-o-crap. If it weren't such a steaming pile we wouldn't have so many Rebeccas, Samanthas + Michelles in the world? Not that I have anything against any of those names. I'm sooo over the many different forms in which trends are blindly followed - even if limited to verbal expression only.

Artistic Brilliance
Check out these really interesting photographs of the world's most famous landmarks. Apparently, there's a Switzerland-based artist by the name of Corinne Vionnet who scoured the internet for hundreds of amateur photos - yes; tourist snapshots - of these monuments then superimposed them into final pieces of art. The results are brilliant.
World Trade Center [New York]
If you look closely, you can see different shades + shadows that represent the vague silhouettes that exist in the original photographs. For me, the vague silhouettes serve as a reflection of the footprints we leave behind - both the living + deceased. It's a truly beautiful thing.

Alien Dolls
"Alien Dolls" shot by Paco Peregrín for Avenue Illustrated
This editorial shot by Spanish photographer Paco Peregrín for Avenue Illustrated Magazine takes futuristic fashion to the next level. In my experience, polished futuristic aesthetics are rare. The glam team [styling by Kattaca | hair + m/u by Lewis Amarante] did a phenomenal job.

Marc Jacobs, WTF Happened?!
The matchy polka-dot ensembles, pointed berets, polyester skirts and rubber pants are drastically unflattering and too costume-like.

We've fallen for Jason Wu again
Upon walking into the Jason Wu fashion show, we already know the experience we were in for. The gathering of cut-out vintage-framed mirrors made into the runway was a genius translation of what we later found out to be Wu's inspiration; the photos from Robert Polidori's book, Parcours Museologique Revister, on the restoration of Versailles.
As the collection came down the runway, immediately we could see the continuity from season's past. It felt more like the maturation of the Wu woman. The pieces were meticulously tailored and extremely wearable. Exactly what we expected.
With sleek hair + dramatic eyes, Wu further accessorized his collection with black laced headpieces, platform pumps [heels dipped in gold], rich colored leather bags + evening clutches and round-frame sunglasses. Done.
It is also always so refreshing to see a designer have a slight [if not, full on] departure from Fall's typical boring monochromatic black.
