^&MY BOY BUILDS COFFINS.;

I need to get myself a new job for the summer as I'm basically fired! Well, not really. It's just that this project we're doing at the moment wil come to a halt for like two months (they want to re-do the questions). Unless a new project happens to come along I'll be without a job. Thing is, in like two months I'll be going to school so there won't be any time to work I guess. Kind of sucks. Next Wednesday will be my last day and I'm not sure if I'll ever return

Here are my favourite looks from the Neil Barrett 2011 Spring/Summer collection






Via The Fashionisto

Here I am, poor 23 year old student who is hardly able to pay for his studies for the upcoming year but this kid does own a fucking Neil Barrett coat! YES. Silly, no?


And here's a bit from the show in movement



Poor girl at the end
Thanks to BryanBoy

Whereas fashion houses such as Gucci are playing it rather safe serving up nothing extremely revolutionary, Roberto Cavalli brings loose fit pants with wild patterns. Sometimes it's a bit out there, but that's good. I especially liked the second half of the show. Nice soundtrack as well. Too bad the quality of the video isn't that great













Z Zegna offers some nice looks as well








Again Dolce & Gabbana showed a collection this time being the one for their collection called D&G. It's just as awful as their earlier one. I mean, where is the design?! These clothes you're able to find in any ordinary warehouse. WTF?! A four year old could do better

<*VERSACE'S ON A ROLL+|

Well done Versace, well done! It's all necklaces and a bit of rock and roll Elvis. Whoever was in charge of the hair department deseverves an A+ as well ;)



Oversized coat thingy, NICE!


Somehow it all looks just a tiny bit better in full sized still photographs than on film, no?


Even when they send down a half naked guy, like the one pictured below, it all looks much more fashion-y. Perhaps it's because he's skinny and has tattoos? :P









Next to Jil Sander this is the best collection I've seen so far which is surprising as their collection for Spring/Summer 2010 was awful awful awful!





I could go on and on with examples like the ones shown above

Via The Fashionisto

I know Calvin Klein and some others did a show as well but I've got more things to do next to talking fashion and watching all these runway shows so this is where it ends for now ;)

"#BURBERRY PRORSUM SPRING/SUMMER 2011(+

It's basically like last time's Fall/Winter 2011 collection but with lighter fabrics and without the big military type boots.

Here's the full show minus (mostly) The Kooks soundtrack :(



I'll always envy Thomas Penfound's icy white hair. Soooo pretty. I never want to turn into anyone else, but just for that hair I would like to be him, for one day at least! :P


These New Puritans, Woop woop!


I like it BUT come on, a little bit more difference between this and the Fall/Winter collection would have been nice. They should have brought in some colour like they did when Cole Mohr used to be a regular instead of Alex Dunstan and Co. Not that I don't fancy looking at Mr. Dunstan walking down the runway, but time's have definitely changed!

This was their collection for Spring/Summer 2008 when Burberry was just Burberry and not Burberry Prorsum



And here's that beauty of a trench in which they sent Cole Mohr parading down the runway

That's summer right there! COLOURRRRRR

I do like this addition to their Fall 2010 collection though


Blue leather trench, YUM

^#SPRING/SUMMER IN THE YEAR 2011 ACCORDING TO JIL SANDER_+

Bright colours are the rule for a Jil Sander 2011 Spring/Summer


As usual it's all about patterns


Blazer, shorts to show off the legs and make the socks visible. Spring or summer, this look never gets old


Subtle details like these I like


Full show




It's a far cry from last year's minimalist black and white

<&I WANT TO BE A LILIKOI, BOY LILIKOI_'

I'm going to my parents' place to do a quick shave of the sides of my head then I'll head back home and work on some things for school and in the evening I'll be calling people. Last evening at the job for this week. Tomorrow night Jónsi!!

I watched this video for Kylie Minogue's new single yesterday. The song is quite good. I guess I have a bit of a weakness for her. A while ago I was reminded how I used to really like her album Fever and who doesn't remember that great video for Come Into My World by Michel Gondry



The video is a bit, hmmmm, I dunno :P unrealistic?? It looks fun though, but you will never see this happen on a ordinary day, unless it's a planned occasion.

I especially like this (notice the couple on the far left) and no one making a big deal out of it as far as I know. Step forward!


Lady Gaga, what to think of you? At first you seemed like a fraud to me, you still kind of do. But this teaser for your new video I've just seen might convince me a bit more in thinking that perhaps you do actually got 'it' (whatever that is) and are in it for the long run



Her videos seems to become better and better. Good for her!

I'm really anoying At Echo Lake by Woods, especially this track titled Pick-Up

!}I KILLED MY DINNER WITH KARATE[.

It's another rainy morning, which I like, so much better than a sunny day. Makes me feel calm and safe. Like you can hide yourself in the gloomy air. Yesterday I had a wonderful evening seeing Joanna Newsom perform with her band as well as Mr. Roy Harper who had the pleasure of opening the night with his brilliant guitar playing and storytelling way of singing, took the audience into his wonderful world of stories about war, the sun and the moon, and he and his woman. Mr. Harper looks like such a kind, warm, gentle person. A very charming man and I loved his facial expressions. You can see he plays with love and is passionate about his art. Joanna and her band were wonderful as well. Joanna seems very free spirited and came on stage with such enthusiasm. Like Mr. Harper she too plays with so much love and devotion. I loved how when just after she appeared and she finished her last sentence she immediately and quite unexpectedly started her first song of the evening which left me with no time to inhale another fresh breath of air before the start of the song. So the entire song my mouth was left open astonished by the beauty that had all of a sudden filled the space. It was truly magical and very very special. The band added so much, giving it a kind of theatrical feel sometimes sounding almost like those old radio plays you used to hear on the radio where a story is being told and sound comes in to enrich the words. Each song started with just Joanna on harp or piano and then as the song progressed ('cause you know, most of her songs are pretty long, like a journey) the other instruments joined in and brought the song even more to life. But I really loved how they kept the songs dynamic, going from parts with lots of instruments to quieter moments with just Joanna and the harp/piano. I also loved how during some songs three of the musicians used their hands to make clapping sounds and to me the banjo is always a welcome addition. Nothing but love for the banjo! ;) It was unlike any other concerts I've been to, 'cause usually I stand and look up at the stage whereas now I was seated with the result that the stage was on eye level, making for a competely different perception from what I'm used to. The sound was perfect, so clear, flawless. And you could notice people sitting in awe and some carefully drying those tears running down their cheeks. I'm now looking forward to seeing Jónsi even more. I've heard a lot of great things about him as well so on Thursday I'm in for another night full of magic. And its not even my birthday

No pictures from the concert. I think you weren't allowed to or maybe not allowed to flash, but this was so special I didn't want to ruin anything for the people sitting next to me by taking pictures all the time and making clicking camera sounds. So here's a non-related image instead ;)

>#AND I'M TOO TERRIFIED TO SPEAK_*

I know I know it's bad I didn't take any pictures at the Antlers gig, but I just couldn't. I was too moved by the sheer beauty of it. It was such high quality. They kind of went post-rock on my a$$, each time they started a new song it took me a while before I recognized it, because they added so much. It was pretty incredible overall and they mentioned it was their first time playing in Amsterdam (!) Tomorrow it will be jj and Beach House. Beach House might get to me the same way. When Victoria will open her precious mouth and belt out a tune part of me will die a little and a tiny me will shed some tears in a dark corner of my brain or like today I'll cry on the way back home. Second time that ever happened to me. First time was after watching The Road. This time it was even worse. But I survived. I just wished I could have held someone's hand, you know. Or just hug someone right now. But nope. It's just me. As usual. I love Peter Silberman, he sings with so much passion. I was really touched. It makes me want to know more about him, get to know him better. I love his lyrics. I adore Hospice. Wish I'd had another 10 euros in my wallet so I could have bought the 15 euro vinyl they were selling, but alas, I didn't have any. Tomorrow I'll make pictures btw, I promise. A promise to myself. 'Cause I wanted to take them, 'cause I know I'll feel like this afterwards when I don't. But then again there are so many people who don't take pictures, only mental pictures and they don't worry about not taking pictures. But I know I do. So tomorrow I'll talke some ;)
Oooooh and this is only the beginning. Joanna and Jónsi will be soon as well. I'll drown in a sea of tears without anyone to save me but myself:(

So here is not one but two non-Antlers pictures

Shot by Anna Morgowicz featuring Noma Han who looks über-cool!

You're a mistake I keep making. I should erase you

And a video of an incredible band



I don't want to wake up alone... Please. For once
