Panache - Kinderwhore

The kinderwhore style movement is one that is particularly influencing my fashion choices of late. This year I have seen so many detachable collars and lacey, flowy pastel coloured fabrics on the runway and then translated to the chain stores. These trends have been reminding me so much of this particular "fashion movement", if it can be identified as such. The style was sweet but in a decayed, de-constructed and disturbed way - sort of like a child pretending to dress up in her mother's clothing and make-up - the messier the better. The juxtaposition of the two elements - sweet and demented - is what gives this style such appeal, both in a nostalgic, child-like sense and a sexualised, adapted-for-adult kind of way. Some of those who adapted and utilised this style are notables such as Courtney Love and Kat Bjelland, but the style is evident in aspects of dress by D'Arcy Wretzky and Wednesday Addams. I like the girly sweetness that it evokes but it becomes more interesting with the darker edge added. I'm always coming across various items in op shops that frequently remind me of the era of this style reigned in (which was the very late 80's and early 90's up until the mid 90's) - particularly dresses with sweet lace peter pan collars or the squared collars, but also through mary jane flat shoes, frilled lace socks and hair bows.

Until next time ♡

Colour Inspiration: Musk

Hi all,

As you might be able to tell already, I really love pastel tints. I love all colours in general. I used to really avoid too many colours and was an avid fan of blacks and greys when I was 14-16, but I've grow to embrace colour and wear many different colours now. I'm going to start up a new inspiration post idea by posting a colour I love at the moment and post inspirational images that contain a form of this colour. It will be a way that I can get inspired to create, which will help me at uni hopefully too. :)
The colour I have chosen today is a variation of my favourite colour - pink. It reminds me of musk candy, the shades associated with dawn, marshmallows and fairy floss.

That's all for now lovelies, bye. ❦

Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake Op. 20

Inspiration for the day #2

I love the colours in this, everything is composed perfectly. The powder blue of the top and the makeup palette is just so lovely.

I really love pastel colours (as you can probably already tell!)
