qui suis-je?

An extended journal of LA COUTURIER especially for POP Magazine documenting the musings, ramblings, and advice of a coquettish girl with an potentially unhealthy obsession with bags and cocktail rings, who calls herself la couturier. Hardly an expert at fashion; simply one who immerses herself in it. It is here where she presents an edgier version of her take on fashion, her dreams, her aspirations, hoping to inspire in some way or another. je m'appelle la couturier. comment ça va?

Obsessed, like the rest of the blogosphere.

Abbey Lee Kershaw, Vogue Australia, in Louis Vuitton SS2010.

I usually refrain (read: stay a good distance away, as if the thing were cursed – not that I believe in superstitions or anything) from posting any image I’ve seen on at least two blogs. The blogosphere is a bit incestuous, sharing images, ideas, etc. in such tight-knit community.

But like every rule, there is an exception: this picture is far from the norm of what I typically like: there is something about it that makes me swoon a little inside. I may be biased because I absolutely adore Abbey Lee; regardless, the jade nails, orange lips, neon pink hair have me praising the stylist. The combination was so wrong (only to be seen on the emo/goth/punk girls that moped the halls of high school), but done so right. The palette of neon colors could have been blinding, yet with Marc Jacob’s ingeniusity, looked nothing short of what the most sophisticated of punk-surfer girls would wear.

Lovely indeed. A great breath of fresh air from the ubiquitous Balmain-induced Balmainia trends. (Yah know – studs, rips, spikes, etc.)
