Rubber Riccardo

A modern and, quote, more accessible version of it's lace debut. Tisci reaccuringly places the essence of having fun and sexyness to his Givenchy item. Let's have it, Commanhole loves the big G and it's chauvinistic embellishments (eye on the soles, dudes!). It's easily on my list.

No Tardy

Believe it or not, we do not go out this often back in highschool. Wonder why.

She's wearing her kitty skirt, by the way. Kitty is tres du jour. Aha!

Online Archives

Sometimes, to understand today's collection, I need to look back, and when I say "back" I really mean way, way back.

Have a look at www.husseinchalayan.com, guys, and dive into his runway archives. You should be ready to spend a two-hour minimum of surfing.

Viktor & Rolf at www.viktor-rolf.com also has a full archive (although not all has videos attached), and the backsound of their site is really enchanting, too.

I know I should post pictures to lure you in, but I'm mobile-blogging so it's a bit o' a kerfuffle :( but trust me both sites are fun fun fun.

Lolita

This is a scene from "Lolita" (check www.commanhole.com for my post on the movie) where Melanie Griffith wears a Lover Top in the prettiest, sassiest fabric and color ever. There is no reason not to include it in today's collection. Vanessa Bruno does, although, the print on Griffith's looks a bit like what Givenchy would do, don't you think?
