I can't take credit for that sage adage: the beautiful boys of Madrid (shoutout to ALT, Maddox, and Maldito) could not have said anything truer. Loosely translated (or rather, exactly translated) it means nothing more than feathers and furs, but you already know that.
I love (love LOVE) this coat spotted by The Sartorialist, though i'm thinking its a vest over a leather jacket. I'm also thinking it might be Ohne Titel, or if not, really similar to some of their looks. I liked their fall show, incidentally, nothing ground breaking, but good, solid, and interesting. Can't find their fur pieces on style.com, but these are worth seeing:
Also, i was talking to my brilliant friend Sarah, and we were thinking about the serious shift in attention to street fashion as the new source of editorial fashion (I know this isn't new, but it is to the point where its ultra-saturated that its leaking into ad campaigns). How come there isn't a blog that sources from everyone (Garance, jakandjil, et al) that breaks down the looks? Not where the clothes are from necessarily--i don't want to recreate the look, and i don't need cheap alternatives-- but decoding why the looks work. Or maybe even a magazine--I mean, that is the broader point of a fashion magazine? Hmmm? Though that kills all the effortless Parisian engima from the whole endeavor, doesn't it.
Off to Baltimore this weekend, lugging a huge suitcase of way too much of my own clothing on the subway this morning. Leaving some room in there though for some Baltimore thrifting, hopefully.
