<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a fan of <b>Spirited Away</b> and <b>Howl's Moving Castle</b>, both of which were also directed by <b>Hayao Miyazaki</b>, I can't believe it's taken me this long to convince myself to watch <b>PONYO</b>. I've had the movie on DVD for almost a year now and I kept putting it off, how silly of me!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, wonderful movie. Go watch it. The end.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, but I really do recommend watching the original in Japanese rather than the English dubbed version that Pixar did. It's just not quite the same. Why does Liam Neeson have to be the voice of everything?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a quick typey type and 'Enter' on my Google toolbar, I was presented with an array of publications outlining Thakoon's development since his big break, which included collaborations with Italian label <i>Hogan</i>, <i>Giuseppe Zanotti</i> shoes, a line designed for Target's Go! International series and being named creative director of accessories label <b>Tasaki</b>. He has expanded into producing handbags, footwear and eyewear; and now designs 2 capsule collections to sit alongside his mainline <b>Thakoon</b>, <b>Thakoon Addition</b> and <b>Thakoon Carbon Copy</b>, which developed from two very different concepts.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's a certain thrill when seeing new collections on the catwalk. Unusual cuts, interesting details, beautiful colours, patterns, textures and an overall sense of completion and realization of each designer's combination of influences for that particular season's collection. Each show has its own story, and the clothes are its characters.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I reserve a certain love for Spring/Summer collections. The colours are fresher, lighter and bolder at many shows; and I pick up a general sense of frivolity in the air. Don't get me wrong, the darker hues and beautiful layering that comes with Autumn/Winter collections still make me nauseatingly giddy, but I can't get past a pair of canary yellow shorts and orange Sperry Top-Siders without squealing. Nom.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were a lot of jaw dropping outfits</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, but this blog will go on and on and onnnn. If I had to narrow it down, I'm going to have to start with the mother of all shows.</span></div>

Christopher Bailey injected an</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"> ethnic twist to the signature trench and presented us a colourful, upbeat collection featuring colourful parkas with contrasting cord locks, insanely innovative knitwear and super slim cut trousers. There were an array of colour stories on the table, and plenty of tribal prints to keep the eyes glued. There was a somewhat crafty feel where we see crocheted lapels on jackets and multicoloured wooden beading on sweaters. And oh, how could we escape the fabulous raffia caps?</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This season Christopher Bailey's reminded me there's never an end to how to use and combine colour to create something truly inventive.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Iceberg</span></b> was something else. Again, the focus was on colour and texture. Streaks of crimson red and dashes of yellow graze the icy blue tones that dominated the collection. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tonal outfits showcased Paolo Gerani's skill and informs us that layering is in, whatever the season. Iceberg makes you want to dress up. Pile on the shades of blues and greys. There's no wrong way to do it.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some standout pieces were acid-washed shirts and blazers that gave the pieces a certain sheen. Oh, and the bright red loafers. Amaze. Plus I am absolutely obsessed with their models. Anyone share this feeling?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Never one to disappoint, <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dries Van Noten</span></b> brought out a collection that once again challenged our perception of proportion (what a mouthful). Shorts over trousers, long oversized shirts, parkas belted at the waist and anoraks worn over flight suits. However, when deconstructed, they're all very accessible. And, as always, with Dries it's about the detailing touches: the contrast panelling, the conspicuous pocket under the waistband..</span></div>

Literally.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />
</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">As you know my blog has been based on my major project's concept of wearable shelters and surviving in extreme environments.</span></span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">At my preliminary crit, I was told that my designs were taking the far safer interpretation of this theme. Agreeably, during the design process I was far more concerned if everything in my collection was wearable and marketable as a ready to wear collection rather than exploring new shape, techniques and materials. I was told my concepts were strong, but it lacked anything daring that would ultimate make my graduate collection something of a stand-out.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">To sum it up, I was scared. period.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Of what? Of screwing up big time if I tried anything so out of the box and bizarre, and ending up with no collection, or anything remotely worthy to send down the runway. What if none of it worked out? What if I ran out of time?</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There were too many questions unanswered.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">ANYWAY.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">After a mini break (ok, a nice, big, lengthy break) from my project, I've been trying to pump some creative juice and get re-inspired by what it was that made my collection so exciting to me.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The work of knit artist 'Mafuyu' and Yoshikazu Yamagata explores a similar idea for her project 'My Town in my Home'.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This is Sruli Recht.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">His story goes a little something like this:</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Man was born in Jerusalem, Israel.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Man studied Fashion Design at RMIT in Melbourne.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Man moves to and is now based in </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Reykjavik of Iceland.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Man then goes onto to become an award-winning designer that attracts collaborations and partnerships with the likes of Alexander McQueen (working as a pattern cutter and show-piece maker) as well as becoming head designer and consultant for various fashion labels in Iceland and Australia.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So what's the deal?</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sruli Recht is a true conceptualist. His works revolve around a central idea that is explored, broken down, deconstructed, turned inside out and back again to become the finished product. To an extent, </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">his process is so unique it becomes the finished outcome.</span></span></b></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Indeed, the best part about his website is not the final photographs of his creations, it's reading the text about the ideas behind a particular project. Where it started, how it developed, how it got to where it ended. For that, his work is very poetic. It narrates a story, which in my opinion, is what makes all designs unique.</span></span><br />

Being a student of the Arts and Technologikal Designs, it was thought beneficial to my minds state to allow me recreational facilities that which graced the fabrication and forming of small sculptings.<br />
<br />
Having a prior predisposition toward that of textiles and its application to the body, I described for my person a series of functional concentrations for threaded social therapude and characteristic division.

Housed in a 215-piece hand-painted box with threaded lid for safekeeping the 6.86 carat total weight over three different diamonds*. [Black 3.53ct / White 1.88ct / Yellow 1.44ct]<br />
<br />

<blockquote><span style="font-size: 10pt;">M</span>y love it came, my love it went...<br />
<br />
So I plied and so I played<br />
with brevity and breadth, I gauged with breath<br />
and depth<br />
and mined and moulded, and with my arms I then held it.<br />
Three stones.<br />
<br />
A big black rock. An average to large white rock. And a smaller yellow rock... The economy of desire was measurable but not immutable<br />
<br />
And with all that was left, bent gold around each cleft,<br />
was shaped band and claws from a propeller lent.<br />
Till threaded and golden gleamed this ring thrice revolving.<br />
[Threaded, that is, to keep her mindful of the stone and of me.]<br />
boxed and placed and presented and requested...<br />
<br />
“..<b>?</b>”<br />
<br />
So now, she chooses which stone to wear - one for work and one for stares. One for evenings and one for mournings. One for what ever she cares.<br />
And now I too play this game of choice... to add another to the compliment of raw precious diamonds; rough to remind my nights before her, and rare as the days now empty.<br />
