maghagging: bazaar february 2010

today i was looking through this month's bazaar with cover star miley cyrus wearing what appears to be the most hideous dress every created. i won't insult your time or eyeballs with the image, but it did not put me in high spirits (as is usual for me when i first pop open a new glossy).

alas, a gem was found amongst the teen starlet worship and "smart shopping under $500" rubbish. i give you a refreshingly stylish editorial inspired by mixed prints and textures, two elements that have me ready for spring already.

louise goldin, london, a/w 2009

if i haven't made this clear on my various networking profiles, i will repeat myself and say that i love louise goldin. from her debut collection in spring 2007 to the present, she has constantly impressed me with her utilization of knitwear as a garment for all seasons. her exoskeletal creations have garnered a bit of press recently (rightfully so), being featured on british websites like topshop.com and recieving their much-coveted new generation funding. as a CSM graduate, nothing suprises me about her rapid succession towards fashion reverence. as for goldin's a/w collection, i was a bit disappointed by her limited use of color (actually, i think she used black exclusively), since she typically chooses tasteful and refreshing hues for her clothing, but in the words of karl lagerfeld in his recent interview in harper's bazaar, "black is the best color!" (more on that nauseating interview later).
