Good morning, my little Thursday. I've got my girls coming into town this weekend- the ones I grew up with that knew me way before all of this Maven business, but were a huge part of what formed my sensibilities. Whether it was judiciously memorizing the words to REM's "It's the End of the World" or crushing on some boy with a long, sideswept bang at the mall, we were all in it together, a long time ago in Philadel-FI-A.
So it's no surpise I'm a bit nostalgic for some fashion of yesteryear, and leave it to Cavalli to have Steven Meisel channel a major 90s Versace moment with his campaign for Spring 2012. I am instantly reminded of Versace's amazing campaign shot by Avedon back in the day- I can't get enough of this concept and it still holds up beautifully today, and even gives us a bit of McMenamy. Yes. Love.
This is a good example of how fashion worships the past in order to get to somewhere totally new. It pays homage to the greats, and this campaign is simply one of my favorites that will surely dominate all the Spring books. I love...
But check out this original shot of Kristin McMenamy and Nadja Auermann, shown at the beginning of this post. Hitting someone with a shoe- so glam, so tough, and so AMAZING. Especially if you are a supermodel. Cause that's what's up this it may be the end of the world as we know it, but this nod to the past makes me feel just fine. All the love from Brooklyn town, peeps. Be nice to me and I won't hit you with a shoe. All the love. XO
