reasons why i love fashion #2

Helmut Lang S/S 12

 FASHION WEEK.
The only thing that excites me as much as birthday presents and The Strokes. The only thing that keeps me alive during the depressive back-to-school September, and the post-Chrismas/food coma recovery February, and gives me something to look forward to in the crappest of weather.

I love it. I'm obsessed with it.
And I've never even been.

But I guess I don't really need to, I mean thank to the whole "ooh digital space future technology" age that I happen to live in, it's like I'm already there. I mean, I'm not, obviously, and there is nothing in the world that I would like LOVE more than to get a invitation to a show (or just to sneak into a show, I really wanna try that!), but the fact that I can watch say, Marc Jacobs show his collection at the same time as an editor at Vogue (assuming she hasn't dropped in to see the collection beforehand the lucky beeyatch but LET'S NOT THINK ABOUT THAT), that's pretty unreal if you ask me. And watching a show and then seeing everyone gush about it after and gushing with them, I don't know, there's just this feeling of being part of something really special.

I guess this is the closest I'll ever get to knowing how it feels to be a "belieber", you know, obsession-wise.
I'm cool with that.

I'll always remember the time I literally sprinted home from school to catch the Burberry A/W 10 show, (you know, the one with those season-defining aviator jackets and amazing buckled boots? yeah, that one!) and if you know me, you'll know that it takes something life-threatening to even get me to JOG, so yeah, that's devotion for you. Anyway I made it just in time, and my then-12-year-old self and my hot chocolate just sat and had the best twenty minutes ever. That was probably my favourite show that season, and I actually can't wait to see what reinvention the trench has taken on this season.

Actually...

SHOWS I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO:

Mary Katrantzou

Holly Fulton

Erdem

Michael van der Ham

Lanvin

Isabel Marant

Chanel

Miu Miu

Yves Saint Laurent

Eeek, just writing that down makes me excited. Especially since I haven't been into fashion as much lately, more into music and other stuff, so I'm happy and a bit surprised that I'm as obsessed and excited again as I used to be. Even if that does mean staying up stupidly late to watch Marc Jacobs and choosing style.com over homework and getting bollocked for it, but I mean, fashion week surely comes before my sanity, right? RIGHT! Yay. So yeah, definitely a reason that I love fashion :)
