Jil Without Raf
So Stefano Pilati is out at Yves Saint Laurent and Hedi Slimane might be in, Raf Simons is out at Jil Sander and Jil Sander is apparently...heading back to Jil Sander. It's fashion musical chairs round twothousandsixty.
I personally would be über-excited to see Hedi Slimane work at YSL (no offense Pilati, your stuff was good too, especially the earlier collections), but Raf Simons leaving Jil Sander breaks my little fashion heart. He did offer up a good swan song though with the A/W 12 collection.
The only question that remains is, and depending on whether the rumour is even true, how will Simons minimalism fair at the house of Dior?

Leif Erikson- Interpol
She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves
But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox
But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox
Been listening to this song on repeat. Freud away if you wish on that one.

Glamour Models, Mum & Me
This BBC documentary on a glamour model mom trying to push her daughter to do topless modelling and get a boob job is infuriating. Watch it here.
Example: Mother points to plastic surgery altered body and says: "I am trying to teach her that this will get you places in life and that's the most important lesson to teach your child."
Really?! You would think in the 21st century women have developed past the whole 'I am solely made of tits and arse' thing. Apparently not.
Okay, I am not trying to hate on women who make their money in that way, in some feminist way it could be seen as empowering as long as you know that there is more to being a woman than playing sex object to millions of horny men who need masturbating material.
But trying to push a 14-year-old to get a boob job and not get a degree in biology because life is easier when you are Page Three girl is just idiotic. Guess her implants weigh more than her brain mass.

Quotes At 1 AM
And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
-Sylvia Plath
-Sylvia Plath
Self doubt is a double-edged sword. In its pure essence it is paralyzing.
Used wisely, it can help us rise further than we thought possible.

Kaal E.Suktae
Considering the fact that this label has been been around since 1997, I am surprised that we haven't heard of this Korean-based designer before.
I'd call it womenswear tailoring with an interesting twist.

Kurt Cobain
Probably very off-topic here on Style Studies, but I would be lying if I said Kurt Cobain didn't have a big influence on my teenage years (and no, I wasn't a Christiane F.).
I am pretty sure ninety percent of teenagers out there will say they love Nirvana, but having read his biography and watched several interviews with him like the ones below, I still find him inspirational.
The fact that Nirvana was one of the most popular bands of the decade and Cobain still walked around in Converse shoes and a T-shirt, the fact that his answers to interview questions weren't controlled by a bazillion PR people; there is just something genuinely authentic and rebellious about Cobain and for that, I will forever idolise him.
