It's quite funny how I can enjoy equally Tyler The Creator and his Odd Future and Rachmaninov's triumph over Classic Fm - Hall of Fame, 2011 for the first time in five years. It's been really, really busy - Bank holiday weekend doing a lot of work and listening to Gold Fm and Classic Fm charts made it so much easier. Satoshi's Jazz Sunday was on top music level as well. Music it's a bliss. Happy Easter.

Yohji's exhibition was stunning. The videos of old shows and interviews are inspiring (I hate that word) but not in a sense to create something similar in a sense to try and understand his passion and what he went thru all this years. How he manage to create such a big revolution in fashion (another word I hate). Few western people will understand the exhibition (thank god I'm dealing with Japanese person everyday), but it's always good to pay a visit.

ps: waiting for this trousers to arrive from Tokyo, I don't have a clue how they will fit me.

ps2: Yohji can cut shoulders!! Fact.

Found the anniversary issue of i-D for just £1 in one of the second hand bookstores in Notting Hill. The memories from this issue will stay forever in me. The funny thing it's some of them turned into reality (2nd photo, top-left portrait). Can't say more. =)

Have no idea how my passion from sport evolved into art and fashion. I use to skip classes to play football, till 3-4am under the streetlights. I miss that more than anything. Desire for win and success that's what left from the sport. Always giving the 100% from you and running till they tell you to stop. And you hit.

Shocking.

2011-03-06T11:32:00.002Z

Kanye West has reportedly applied to study a Masters degree in fashion at a London university.
The rapper apparently flew to the UK on Wednesday to meet with Professor Louise Wilson, the head of the course at Central Saint Martins College, to be interviewed for a place.

"Kanye spends a lot of time with fashion students and often hooks up with Central's arty pupils when he is in London," a source told The Sun. "The rapper already has work experience with Fendi and Louis Vuitton on his CV. Now that he has been interviewed the school's board will have to decide whether to allow him to start the MA fashion course later this year."

Rumors regarding the status of his application are reportedly circling among current students. "They are saying he has been turned down for a place because his portfolio wasn't up to standard," the source added.

2011-03-03T22:41:00.002Z

"I really like you, Midori. A lot.”

“How much is a lot?”

“Like a spring bear,” I said.

“A spring bear?” Midori looked up again. “What’s that all about? A spring bear.”

“You’re walking through a field all by yourself one day in spring, and this sweet little bear cub with velvet fur and shiny little eyes comes walking along. And he says to you, “Hi, there, little lady. Want to tumble with me?’ So you and the bear cub spend the whole day in each other’s arms, tumbling down this clover-covered hill. Nice, huh?”

“Yeah. Really nice.”

“That’s how much I like you."

Stereotype.

2011-02-19T19:06:00.003Z

On the effects of ethnical stereotyping:

The black rucksack is perhaps the most politically charged wearable object of current times.

Especially when worn by a non-caucasian person.

Especially when worn on the tube.

The 'subject' becomes the 'suspect' when his appearance and intentions are misinterpreted.

The rucksack only represents terror when looked at the wrong way.

Thus when detached from reality, the threat becomes subverted.

Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead by police at Stockwell tube station on 22 July 2005.

Few months ago I had the rare opportunity to work with Nicola for short period of time, very thankful to the lovely Anna Trevelyan for that. Listening to him and his ideas about the line and what he want to do with it and now seeing it happens it's bring warm feelings inside me. The past year was magical and I feel very blessed and gifted to be part of what is my actual targets and dreams. Congratulations to Nicola and his team who I'm pretty sure worked really hard for all that.

Very good quality of the cotton and the fitting it's amazing for a vintage shirt. The price it's equal to two McDonald's meals. Wise shopping, wise.

M-65.

2010-12-29T20:53:00.000Z

I'm not buying fucking clothes because they are on trend, I need to find something fascinating about the garment. This is authentic M-65 desert coat. The price tag it's ridiculous - £6! Pockets are very useful and I'm loving the pen pocket inside the top right one. It's 50/50 nylon/cotton perfect for the desert and perfect for layering in London. Almost forgot, the colors are beautiful.

Sleeves.

2010-12-29T20:44:00.000Z

An other 50% Sale. Few interesting things about this pullover. The zipper goes all the way to the end of the hood and close it. The sleeves are different for the front and back. Set-in sleeve for the front and raglan sleeve for the back. Raglan sleeve it's named after Baron Raglan the reason it's because he lost his arm during Battle of Waterloo and to fit his coat they design this type of sleeve. Very random fact.

Right before I left my house, I watched the Dazed Digital x Raf Simons 15h Anniversary video and read the whole article at WHSmith. 50% off at Fredd Perry store, couldn't resist not to buy one. The rib dart was the main reason I purchase it.
