NATALIA BRILLI
She is amazing fucking talented designer, someone i would look up to and give a big hug because her work is so fucking fantastic and laced with a perfect humor! it inspires me to make grander things, to really go in a strong big direction, explore every angle. Obsession can lead to beauty, her beauty is leather.... everything covered in leather all the time.yummie!

Stella Rose Saint Clair Age: 20

What do you do? Fashion really. I draw pinups, make music, dabble in burlesque and street art, but its all just for fashions sake. I make clothes, and not in school or anything, oh, I also work at a movie theater...a haunted one.

What are you loving right now? Sequins, long hair, fifties dresses, and rare music.

What inspires you? Girlie things. Bows, curls, lace, the color pink. People like Nina Hagen who aren’t afraid to look like a big drag queen once in a while, and people who make everybody uncomfortable without really trying.

What do you love about Seattle? I love how gay Seattle is and I love how many outlets there are for artists. The mayor is trying to change all that right now. Buildings all over Capitol Hill (the "artsiest" and "gayest" part of the city) are being torn down to be replaced by horrible ugly condos that cost upwards of $500,000 dollars. All the independent businesses are being put out now. All the artists are slowly being replaced by middle aged yuppies who go to their condo gyms everyday to work off their expensive steak dinners made by some working class kid who they consider unfavorable even though that kid is the reason this area is so trendy and appealing to them in the first place! I'm currently waiting for a revolt. Like involving torches and pitchforks. I have neither of these things in my possession, therefore someone else gets to start it...

What 3 places are a must for those visiting Seattle? FOOD comes first. Try my vegan suggestions of:
The Wayward Cafes greasy diner food (worker owned and operated!)
Hillside Quickie vegan soul food or for cheepies you'll find me at Than Brothers Pho, or an Ethiopian joint!
for FASHION check out:
Atlas Clothing for your hilarious eighties fix (at a bargain!)
The Pretty Parlor for your handmade with love indie designer fashions.
And check out local brand Hipposchemes online!
And third most, for FUN go do these things:
See local electro shock rock act Sexually Active Corpse, before he too is pushed out of the city.
Go to a midnight movie at the Egyptian theater. Cult classics galore and a staff who doesn't care how drunk you are.
Go shopping at "the bins" in Georgetown. The lowest of the low in the goodwill shopping circuit. Enjoy sifting through plastic troughs of random crap! What goodies will you pull out?? An awesome old "care bear" suitcase like the one I found? Or the soiled Santa themed corduroy toilet seat cover my boyfriend proceeded to wear as a mask? Its like playing go fish
with your childhood and s.t.d.s! And its priced per pound!

Do you read magazines/newspapers, if so, which? I like "fruits and street" magazine. I like fashion magazines. I like pretty pictures...

Any websites you read on a regular basis? I'm partial to this one at the moment.

What TV shows do you enjoy watching? Mrs. Mouth! Always! (the New Yorkers know)

What's your most loved gadget? My sewing machine.

In your opinion what are the powerful brands in the world right now? Aww, you know. The most awful ones always. Mc. Donald's, Disney, The Gap etc.,Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, oil and cigarette company's. All that all American stuff. You know, the lamest, the most normal. Like its normal to kill things and poison people and take their money and stuff I guess. Its
familiar, those brands. Like they're comforting once you forget how much they're screwing us over.

What's the most interesting place you've visited in the last 12 months? The crack alley out my back window. Who needs to watch cops when its all happening right outside!

What's your fav city in the world and why? I like cities with history. Vie lived in both Manhattan and Amsterdam. In Manhattan every street has a story, and in Amsterdam every street has a whore house!

If you could fill your wardrobe with the collection of any fashion designer in the world, who would it be and why? Oh Betsey Johnson most definitely. I cant turn down fluorescent lace and ribbons and wouldn't she just make the coolest grandma ever?

Who are you listening to on your iPod? The Shangrilas, GG Allin, and Marsha Gees "Peanut Duck" ps. the shing-a-ling aint the thing...quack quack PEANUT DUCK!

What can't you live without? Liquid eyeliner, tofu, and my journals. Because i need to be fabulous, and filled with protein and memories!

What question should we ask the next person? Why is (street) fashion important to you? And my answer to that is: Artists should not only make art but become the art themselves. Like, instead of people making art, art making art. Get it? Telling the world what your about just by walking down the street. What are you telling people by wearing what everyone else
is wearing? Your scared? You want to be invisible? Your body is a blank canvas. Why repaint an old familiar Mona Lisa when you can paint something new and exciting? And who says threes nowhere to go when their all dressed up? And who says the street isn't a fine gallery? psha...

By the year 2010, you will be what/where? I will be a sixties girl group singing', drag queen look-in', occasionally stripping', pinup music sensation with a fashion line to boot! Look out!

Trompe-l'oeil

2007-10-16T17:13:00.000-07:00

Trompe-l'œil is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects really exist, instead of being mere, two-dimensional paintings. The name is derived from French for "trick the eye"

In fashion it is my favorite thing. i get giddy when i see designers use it, which is often. LOVE IT!

Spring 2008 Ready-to-Wear | Florals

I must admit, i am Nicolas Ghesquière biggest fan, i wanted those robot pants(spring 07) and the lego shoes (fall 07) and the sailor dress (spring 07) so badly, every year i envy and love and worship the collections. Then i saw this years, i do not like it at all. The floral prints are overwhelming, and not in the its-so-crazy-its-amazing. nope. I do like the structures, i the mega seaming and rippling darts. I dont love them though, this season i might look to someone else for inspiration.

Quote:
"I'm exploring new territory, within the references of the house," said Nicolas Ghesquière before the show. "I've done prints before, but I never went to the flowers."

Fall 2007 Ready-to-Wear | Streets

I love love love, give me it all- lego shoes, the scarf dress long or short whatever, the jackes, strip sweaters. Iits the classic what are the kids wearing 'in the streets' and how do I (Nicolas Ghesquière) make it work. Genious!

“It’s a big mix—a street mix, with symbols and colors that are very multicultural,” -Nicolas Ghesquière

Spring 2007 Ready-to-Wear | Droids

Wait , this is spring, he has us in rubber and plastic and pants and metal and more metal. Oh only you Nicholas could convince me that this is ok to wear on a hot summer day. I just have to give props to the re-invention of the chain mail dress, Thierry Mugler did an amazing job back in the 90's, now Nicholas is giving a kick in the ass ass, and it has never looked sexier. Wait there is a big Mugler theme here!

Are those robot leg pants wearable, i would like to know.

Quotes:
"I was thinking of robotic articulation. Car parts. Droids. A boyish silhouette…" said Nicolas Ghesquière

Fall 2006 Ready-to-Wear | The Modern

Fun, Bright, full of Volume and Attitude. This collection will stand out, as one of his most true to a Modern Balenciaga Woman.
