Odds and Ends

A sideblog of mirrific mostly for pictures of people, personal posts and some music maybe- I keep wishing I could merge the two together cohesively because it would make much more sense.

Palomo Spain - Orlando Collection 

“I feel that boys need to discover different ways to wear clothes that we haven’t been able to wear up until now” - Palomo

Orlando is the fiction character after whom Alejandro Gómez Palomo, the face behind Palomo fashion house, named his second collection

Through this collection Alejandro Gomez Palomo gave a jolt to the conventional fashion system by presenting an absolutely gender-fluid collection, dressing male models in beautifully executed couture-like dresses in fabrics from silk to sheer chiffon.

Palomo works with materials typically used for womenswear. His second collection, “Boy Walks in an Exotic Forest,” featured sheer silk, velvet and beading details. The brand’s photo shoots further blurred gender roles by casting androgynous male models.

The collection not only reflects possible gender fluid horizons and acceptance, however it promotes femininity - in a way that demands respect. Something I’m very interested in is merging the overt masculine with overt feminine. In my own studies this particular exploration not only intends to empower femininity for both men and women, but also to highlight the overpowering value we place on masculinity in todays society. To emphasise how we require masculinity to validate feminine cultures.  

The collection inhabits a beautiful range of colours such as - pinks, lilacs and white (somewhat relating to me current colour theme) these colours create a base of feminine. A range of floral embroidery is incorporated into fabrics such as - lace, silk and frill. This detail is to me what gives the collection its precious edge - an edge which holds the line between respect and mockery.  This is something I find particularly endearing - an ability to present such a raw essence of femininity without evoking mockery. As mockery is so often connected with overt femininity.   

Ultimately Palomo Spain’s stance on creating decadent gender-neutral fashion is a fairly groundbreaking one. The label’s aesthetics and marketing campaigns are poetic and fashion-forward, for both men and women. 

If I had another couple of weeks I would certainly like to bring forward previous textile explorations. I would love to have progressed my current concept through the medium of fabrics and garment design, however I have found mediums I’m presently more engaged with. I may still visualise any ideas though.

This isn’t what gender fluid means and the idea that you would use phrasing like “both men and women” in the same post talking about it is even more ignorant

Spring is here, time to whip out the floral. Floral is especially great because it offers a wide range of colors that one can match it with.

A callout post for @sophamonster

- rambles really precious things in the tags of her reblogs all the time? And it’s really lovely because- words from the Soph. A+++.

- ends those rambles with something along the lines of ‘I really hope noone’s reading this’ so you can’t comment on them or screenshot them and appreciate them properly because then you’ll be making her self-conscious and might risk stopping the excellent flow of unselfconscious Soph Words.

EXHIBIT A:

HOW IS THIS FAIR???

- a Nerd who is really enjoying her degree (how dare she? Isn’t she aware this is Against The Law?)

- unreasonably wonderful in general tbh

Rules: Tag 9 people you want to know better (I’m not feeling like doing this, sorry! I’ll answer the questions, though, which seems to be the implicit first rule?)

Relationship Status: no romantic relationships

Lipstick or Chapstick: I don’t think I’ve ever used either 

Last song I listened to: ‘Colouring Book’ by Chance the Rapper because someone recommended it.

Top 3 Shows: oh gosh, I don’t know. Some I’ve watched recently are Doctor Who, Sherlock and The West Wing, all of which I care about.

Top 3 Characters: I don’t like these top 3 questions at all >:V. Some terrible darlings: Kanaya Maryam, Cosima Niehaus, Marius Pontmercy

Top 3 Ships: I’ve not been much involved in shipping recently (I’m sorry, all my answers are so boring!) but Eposette, Reynabeth, Gelphie; most places where there could be wlw, honestly. I was gonna put ‘Rosemary’, but I think shipping connotes wishing, hoping kind of investment, and they’ve become a blessedly fixed point. Oh, Roxy, Calliope and Jane! 10000% for Roxy, Calliope and Jane being lovely dorks together.
