gushers

We'll come back to New York later because Christopher Kane's collection spoke to me like no other. Like really, really resonated. So intensely, in fact, that I found myself up at 2 AM digging out from under my bed the remnants of an early 2000's bedroom. It was like I'd been possessed by the mesmerizing colors and movement of the Tropical Tie Dye Fruit Roll-Ups that ran along the skin of Kane's models like veins; by the many glistening reflections of each Lizzie McGuire-inspired sequin. It was then that I knew I had found my own truth to Lizzie's greatest moment: this collection is, in fact, what dreams are made of. (As a sidenote: how TRIPPY is that whole double-Hilary thing? It's like Black Swan. It is exactly like Black Swan.)

It started with these different forms of afghan patterns that I didn't love because a lot of it looks very easily thriftable, in fact, I have thrifted a lot of similar afghan stuff (except for that intriguing crocheted leather stuff that was burdened with an awkward color scheme.) I wish that it'd gone more in the direction of the first look which is one of the more adass outfits a person can wear.

BUT THEN! THEN we get to lava lamp MAGIC and it's all too hypnotizing for me to care about the olive green leather that was previously showcased. Do you see the Fruit Roll-Up resemblance? I know it can probably most definitely be considered tacky, but that's why it's so great! These lava lamp streaks know they're supposed to be fun and aren't trying to be anything else, that's why they're squiggly! And it's balanced out with some slick black shapes, for the sophisticated woman.
But that I am not! So the final looks were my favorites:

Back when I shared a room with my sister I earned some major cred among friends because my room had all the hippest stuff that the middle-schoolers were giving away at their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. This included a lime green inflatable armchair with a frog on it, a fake lava lamp full of glitter, and a lot of smiley face memorabilia. But my favorites were the bead curtains, copied almost EXACTLY above. I have a lot of love for these borderline ugly (in a good way! Always in a good way!) technicolor frocks that accurately represent both how our bedroom looked as well as sounded (regardless of being too young to get to see Josie and the Pussycats, I knew every song.)

Bask in the glory! And please note the collars. I hope they're sold on their own like Miu Miu did that one time.
Way important clutch that, however amazing, is probably not worth the thousands of dollars it will be priced at. Lucky for you, I have composed a simple procedure for acquiring one on your own for way less dough!
1) Befriend a nice but hopelessly unhip Jewish family. Wish them a good Shabbos every Friday; attend a Sukkot party if invited. Enter their home with the right kind of Challah. Ask if they prefer Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm. Mention that a friend of yours has David Axelrod over for Passover every year, and sure, you'd be happy to get them in touch.
2) Make sure that the family contains a kid with an upcoming Bar/Bat Mitzvah. This is key. You should also make sure that the parents are out of touch with both their kid and with what the kidz are into these days.
3) Since you've been Honorary Jew for a few months now, you will be invited to the kid's Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Attend, tear up at the parents' blessing, make small talk with the distant relatives, and be generally polite and tactful -- until the DJ CONTESTS, that is! Whatever your skill may be -- limbo, hula hoop, dance, or catch-the-money-in-the-suffocating-lawsuit-body-bag-not-unlike-that-scene-from-Matilda (we had this game at mine) -- be ready to show off! You'll look stupider than you have in your entire life, but you must throw these insecurities out the window. Remember what you have that the 12 year olds don't -- your body odor is more controlled, you don't have to worry about going to school on Monday to be reminded of your actions (I KNOW WHAT YOU DID AT JONAH'S BAR MITZVAH: movie event of the year), and you don't plan on ever seeing this family again! They're hopelessly unhip, remember? And because of this, they chose prizes for their kid's Bar/Bat Mitzvah that would've been cool when my big sister was BM-hopping, but are now hopelessly dated. Until Christopher Kane's Fall 2011 collection, that is! So when you go to claim your prize after beating a middle-schooler in musical chairs, pride yourself in the Kane-esque lava lamp pencil case purse that, essentially, really only cost you some small talk and a macaroon canister.

And now, reasonably but not completely related moodboard:

Grace Miceli, Rose McGowan and Thora Birch,Versace Spring 2004 ads, sea kay on flickr, Rose in Jawbreaker, Christy Turlington in unknown designer, Jawbreaker, Craig Masson and Andrew McMinn's home, Ghost World, Kate Moss by unknown photographer, Grace Miceli again, and late 90s Comme des Garcons. As always with unknowns, email me if you have an answer!

Cropping Rose's ice pop partner: essential "You're too young!" etc. etc.

The transparent lava lamp combos are so good. The clear stuff is like a combo of bubble wrap and that thick floor-covering stuff tacky offices put down to stop wheely chairs damaging their polyester carpet.

Slow clap for Kane.

KARLITO said...

Unfortunately I grew up surrounded by Mexicans so the idea of a Bar and Bat Mitzvahs were practically unknown. BUT they did have quinceanera's which are just the same things except big poofy dresses are involved.

I'd really love me a lava lamp inspired bow tie. hnnng

Tavi said...

HAHA, I knew someone would catch that crop. 1) the guy is ugly, and 2) irrelevant to the screencap's context here. Look at the bead curtains! The lips phone! Oooh, pretty colors! And yeah, I was expecting the YOU'RE TOO YOUNG stuff too.

Also: wheely chair connection is dead on.

Wow, that Gaga-like Versace model looks magnificent - even if I have a strong dislike against Donatella for her fur policy.

A shame that most brands are nasty in an eco-friendly or animal friendly sense. Even high-street ones, although they COULD afford the other methods.
Well, I stick to Stella McCartney (as for cosmetics, Lush).
Really, why do you not write about animal friendly designers? There are many out there. And you have an audience for that.

Tavi said...

Hi Mina, not to dismiss those issues, but I would like to be more educated before writing publicly on them. I'd also like to keep this blog from becoming a "write about this! You have the audience!" request-taker. I like writing my blog because it's not my job to write about anything and I don't have any obligations. This isn't to say I don't think more serious issues deserve attention, but I'm just not the right person for that job since I don't have the background and it's more required in that case than in writing about Christopher Kane dresses.

Nico said...

ahhhh i really want to squeeze everything!! i totally had a trapper keeper thing made out of that same plastic with the technicolor liquid inside...i wish i still did. makes me wonder what ever became of my inflatable furniture and beaded curtains. now that i'm an "adult" it would be awesome to replace my existing furniture with said artifacts. i do still have a badass lavalamp!

My Heart Blogged said...

I love the set of black dresses. It's a little more subtle, but completely wearable. You would actually stand out these types pieces. Life is more fun that way.

I love the lava stuff, though the collars are definitely the nicest details! I once found a postcard made like that and had it stuck on my bedroom wall for ages but it all fell to the bottom and didn't look so good after a while. In London we have Fruit Winders, which are kind of the equivalent but less psychedelic. The Versace campaigns are relevant, but so hideous, I don't get how they produce such awful and tacky prints! Wish I'd got to see the Christopher Kane show at LFW!! (and no, I've never been to a Bar Mitzvah!)

“These lava lamp streaks know they're supposed to be fun and aren't trying to be anything else…”

Exactly! They aren’t ironic, or thoughtful, or referencing something else, or the product of some philosophy, they’re just lava lamp streaks! You see them and think, wow, that’s fun, colourful, refreshing. And if they’re really doing their job, you’ll think, “Hmmm, fun, colourful, refreshing… That’s how I’d like to feel! I think I’ll buy a piece from this collection!”

Many a time I’ve been rescued from the whole over-analysing thing by recalling the beautiful simplicity of Andy Warhol’s summation of the Pop Art movement…

“Pop Art is about liking things.”

Fair enough :-))

for example, like the lines or cuttings in the clothes are beautiful! and this time, i think he made the mood of mystique...

Amelie said...

I completely agree about the first looks. When I was going through the collection, I was thinking, "WTF are you doing, Christopher Kane? I know you're better than this!" And then I saw the lava lamp dresses, and I knew he was just messing around with us at the beginning. Those dresses are so tight. The lava strips also remind me of this marker board I had when I was younger. It was all black, and when I'd write on it with a certain pen, the colors would be all crazy, like his lava-lamp strips. I don't remember what it was called...

Jessica said...

LOL ask if they prefer Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Fashion Nerd said...

I totally agree with you Tavi. If I have something recongnizable in my own life, I am mre likely to enjoy the collections that I see before me. But I am not so lucky when there is nothing I can relate the clothes to. I can relate them to things that mean good to me. Why not clothing. Christopher Kane did an amazing job defining you, and you liked it. What an awesome collection. Personally I really enjoyed it! Cool post!

Actually, it looks more like liquid timers from the 90s. It was a staple at the dentist's waiting room, very effective to hypnotize children and keep them from running towards the door.

We also had accessories just like those clutches in the 90s, and big chunky clear plastic rings with smileys that were filled with water.

Love the collection as well as the purses! Holy hell those are awesome, although unpractical because I lug so much crap around with me.

Those Versace Ads! Those bring me straight back to high school and made an appearance in my favourite Vogue issue ever. I always pondered over why that model looks uber transsexual. Ha, how funny to see it again.

and I'm definitely feeling lava lamp and fruit roll ups but also with a bit of mermaid/colored bacon.

I really like the lava lamp dresses! And the outfits in the first picture all remind me of a vintage store I was recently in, where they were selling long sweaters made out of old afghans! They were pretty crazy awesome :) I also can't get over how amazing the rainbow bathroom picture is! Who doesn't love rainbow rooms?

SMD said...

First--these look exactly like fruit roll ups! Second is that I HAVE THE LIZZIE MIGUIRE MOVIE SOUNDTRACK from first grade and--GET THIS--I WAS LISTENING TO IT THE OTHER DAY, AND SINGING THAT EXACT SONG. Truly, this is what dreams are made of.

On top of the wicked cool connections, I really love these fashions. I feel inspired to go buy a shitload of fruit roll ups and tack them onto an my old clear shower curtain. And yes, I have a bunch of that Bar/Bat Mitzvah crap at home too! And I have a mini lava lamp! And during the early 2000's, my uber cool older cousin had one of those beaded curtain things over her door! Fond memories of a more fashionable era.

i'm pretty sure you would love the afgans my grandma long before i was born. they are brightly colored with funky shades of green, orange, pink, brown, etc. she used to make them out of leftover yarn, so they came out funky looking and huge. i loved them. my mom used to put them over my covers in the wintertime. they were heavy enough to make you feel really warm and tucked in. also, i love bedroom beads!!! i used to have a disco ball set in my doorway. and finally, i love the mood board- especially the versace ad.

So I have this backpack that resembles Kane's bags, the flap has water (or a liquid of some sort) and dye in it...also glitter, so when you walk it all mixes together, are Kane's bags, collars, etc water filled? Is that what gives them the lava lamp effect? I've never seen anything like my backpack apart from the shop I bought it at.

cancercowboy said...

that iridescent quicksilver nothingness, soft and elegantly fluttering and flattering the figure (well, if there was any to speak of ^__^): quite nice. and these little vividly coloured pouches on the edgings (probably filled with toxic waste and the tears of a thousand orphans ^__^) really are something.
oh, and your last paragraph made me first literally lol and then damn the fact that the only jew i know in person is an atheistic single child at odds with his family... no luck with taking the shortcut to hipness... again ^_____^
