I've been watching a lot of movies from Pedro Almodóvar's catalogue. This costume by Jean Paul Gaultier hasn't left my mind ever since I saw it. Even the dialogue is too much. It's essentially a critique to the tabloids and press, and sensationalism they carry. Loved how the tits have a pop to them because of the contrast created among the dress and the set-so dark- and the hair-do is amazing.

This shit. This shit bangs. So this guy, if you don’t know who he is, he made those crazy fucking alien looking freak shoes for Lady Gaga in the “Bad Romance” MV. He was cooking. The top half of this? Microscope slides dyed red. the bottom half? OSTRICH FEATHERS. Apparently it sounded like chimes when you walked because, like, you’re slapping a bunch of little glass slides together. I wouldn’t know, I’m not Bjork so like I haven’t worn this thing (she has in fact worn this thing).

I loved the exhibition which presented Madame Grès and Azzedine Alaïa's pieces in conversation. This bit of the exhibition text struck a note:
"When you find something that is personal and unique," said Madame Gres, "you must make the fullest possible use of it, pursuing its realisation wichout stopping until the end." Alaia echoed her words years later: "When an idea comes into your mind, you must capture it with a lasso and circle around it relentlessly."
I liked how they saw couture as sculpture and I wondered if I should experiment with the sewing machine next. Something I am already considering. The place itself was small but lovely, with one of the most beautifu, cosy and quiet terrasses I have seen in a while, and well populated only by fashionable folks. Something similar to something I should open in Karachi, with artist studios upstairs perhaps. Grès' photographs of her dresses worn also touched me. I wonder how much of capturing imagination is image creation, and if this is a sign I should start experimenting with film now that I have an array of lenses from M. Chacha.
Grès' story was also remarkable to me because of her true love for creation and art, and how she just opened a storefront and did not follow fashion week calenders. I wonder if I should too, just buy a storefront here and start my own thing, like Nazish and I were discussing on Saturday evening.
