Kate Middleton, the big deal and her tag along sister.

I just don't get what the big deal is with Kate, except that she is a real life princess. Okay, I take that back. I get what the big deal is  surrounding Kate Middleton. She is the princess after all, and people apparently die to watch the royal wedding. Great. Her wedding dress was designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. Okay great- I guess that's quite an  honor although I do feel the label is way too cool for her, too avant-garde, too fun. The label deserves better.Like maybe designing Kate Moss's wedding dress. Anyway, so yeah Kate is decent. She is definitely cute, looks  a bit old for her age, has lost tons and tons of weight so is now pretty much a stick figure with really, no hips. That's fine. Oh and I also understand that she probably didn't want all this attention and doesn't think much of herself anyway. That's totally believable. Its the media and the people, who have made her into this fashion icon who annoy me.How???

She is attractive, tall, thin,tan (i.e-hot) , but come on she's an average dresser.Like yeah, she wears decent stuff and doesn't look like a clown - but that does not a Fashion Icon make. Really. It makes an average person.And maybe in her case an average rich person. Her style is basic, and if I may say so-boring at times. But I get that she cant be too risque and have too much fun with the clothes cos she has to maintain  public decorum and I dunno be all stiff and monarchical. You know? family values/ in-laws issues whatever.
Its like just cos she wore Sarah Burton she immediately became a style goddess, and hasn't had to work up to that name ever since.Its not like she's wearing what nobody could've ever thought of wearing. She keeps it simple and classic- and yes, that's a virtue on its own-but come on, you can't keep playing her up like this.

As a sign of goodwill, I'm putting up pictures where she really is looking great.




Then there's her sister Pippa. Like man, whats the big deal. She's not even the princess but still she's made out to be a fashion icon for her plain jane style. Does she have an ass that just won't quit? Yes. Does she have a beautiful tan? Yes. Does that make her the next Kate Moss? Hell no. Not in a million years.

 Really?




Sarah Burton and SS2012

In my last post about McQueen, I really didn't delve much in to Sarah Burton, and how she is doing as the Creative Director.Maybe cos she did the royal wedding,and there was so much hoopla surrounding it, that I just got put off by it.And then there is the issue of Kate Middleton wearing McQueen- well I'll come back to her at another time.
Okay coming back to Sarah Burton- she's just fabulous.  Its seems  McQueen's design ideology was best understood by Burton. Each collection she has given us after McQueen's untimely death has been a continuation of the same aesthetic sense. They all have been an homage to McQueen through her attention to detail, impeccable tailoring, and the magnificent corsetry. McQueen's pieces were always beautifully structured, and sometimes excessive in their execution which made them such a pleasure to watch. Burton's collection achieves the same effect. The Pastel/ Nude shades paired with chiffon give it this airy lightness, but the extraordinary shapes and silhouettes are awe-inspiring,breath taking and just plain wonderful.


Love the silhouette
Like bleeding roses.
How fun is this?


I love how it just flows.
I love this. I wanna wear it.




I want. So bad.

If that jacket isn't perfection what is?


















Too cute. So sexy.Very 60s.
I love the sheernessof the train.

Hoe seamlessly the lace headpiece blends into the dress na?



The shoes, were a whole different story.  See the thing about the label is you really see a though process behind each creation. And that's exactly what each piece in the collection is , a 'creation'. Just like You and I are God's creation, McQueen/ Burton's pieces are all divine creations as well. They speak without words. They say so much.
The shoes are impossibly high, and, and...well you just have to see for yourself. I personally love their sense of humor.

sexy serves it right

I need to own these.

Tres romantique.
