i like most when i can immediately equate an aesthetic sensibility with their music.
on that note, the night before last, i watched these:
"The Next Day", David Bowie
”ファッシオン モンスター”、きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
「"FASHION MONSTER", Kyary Pamyu Pamyu」
it should be noted, i guess, that it isn't my first time watching these music videos, but watching them both one after the other served as an inspirational forefront for this look.
i'm really fascinated with the use and interpretation of darker, sinister elements in any creative endeavour. Bowie and Kyary could not be more opposite as artists, but there is something to be said and applauded (i think) about their love for theatrics.
walking between the cute, the shocking, the macabre and the sardonic was what i was trying to get at with this look, i guess. maybe i'm just overanalyzing and just wanted to put a more girlish look together but using items that employ more "grown-up" darker elements to them?
(honestly though i think i'm still riding the cotton-candy flavoured high of Kyary's live concert i went to go see a while ago in Singapore, combined with listening to David Bowie's latest album on repeat right after. i just love them both so much!! in different ways but equally ardently...!)
ファッシオン モンスター: Alexander McQueen scarf // McQ by Alexander McQueen tshirt // Uniqlo skirt // Givenchy backpack // HappySocks socks // きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ x adidas originals sneakers
this skull-print scarf is wholly overexposed as an item, i know. but it serves its purpose rather well, doesn't it?
these collaboration sneakers were sold out in Tokyo when i was there, but i happily came across them while i was in Singapore! they remind me of the gleefully gory Gloomy bear!!
kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it?
maybe my mind is in a dark place right now
but simultaneously i can feel the constant urge to laugh to keep from crying; that sort of feeling.
i don't know. maybe i just like an overstimulated brain.
(unnecessary sidenote: blogging is hard, major kudos to those who do it persistently and a hell of a lot more consistently than i do)
