i was a wee bit overly ambitious with regard to the anna dello russo exhibit at the bay, showing up yesterday after work only to realize that they were still setting up! oh the confusion. either way i'll be back, though i believe thursday will be impossible to run off to spot adr as the magazine's about to go to press.
anyways, i browsed through the clothes and realized that i am infatuated with mary katrantzou's spring/summer collection. apparently inspired by 1970s photographs, katrantzou looked past the models and settled her gaze on the stunning interiors, overlooked in photos by guy bourdain and helmut newton. while katrantzou's pieces certainly are works of art from afar, up close you're able to take in all the little details that otherwise are easy to overlook due to the elaborateness of the prints. the dresses are her strong point, with trompe l'oeil portions offering up even more to the wearer than expected; the skirts modelled after lamps - complete with beading dangling from the hems - are a bit too much of a literal interpretation for a piece of clothing. sitting would be difficult at best, and i'm one for discomfort. all in all though, a terrific collection.
