The Summer Stripe - Yigal Azrouel & A.P.C & Marni

It's officially Autumn in DC and I've lined up a whole rack of new outwears for the cool weather. Though not a big fan of Summer but still it's nice to reminisce some Summer special. As obsessed with uniforms as I am, the Yigal Azrouel pants with blue strip is almost exactly as those Fedex guys wear, only cooler.

The Israeli American designer has successfully cultivated the name-sake brand into full blossom. With freestanding boutique opened at Manhattan's Meatpacking district, the brand has caught the attention by Milanese and started international distribution.

His ultra feminine technique of draping in womenswear reminds me a bit of Albert from Lanvin. In his menswear collection though, you can actually feel his ethnic originality. I was wearing an A.P.C strip T-shirt with a Vivienne Westwood Saturn pin. The loafer was from Marni and the material is very-paper like, great for Summer weather.

Making Vintages of Burberry Prorsum Military Shirt & Patch V-Neck

The long long Summer of DC has drained my closet long long before Autumn falls upon us. My tolerance of boring t-shirts and sloppy jeans has reached a vomiting point. Any extra layer I put on is suicidal in this burning weather. Chill off already! It's almost October!

The classic military shirt and the V-neck with a scottish patch are what helped me survive the dry-spell. The shirt was bought almost two years ago and somehow buried in my closet since then. The exactly style has been replicated every season for Burberry Prorsum with changes of different colors. With everyone going military this season, the dark moss colored shirt finally made its debut this summer.

Wearing a shirt can get real nasty under a steamy hot weather. Another my savior for this ungodly weather is this V-neck with a simple but very cool Scottish patch. I often pair it with one of those classic Prada stretch cotton pants and Lanvin sneaker that I blogged before here.

Tough Love--Burberry Prorsum 2011 Spring Summer Womenswear

The world we live in has become a dangerous place. We're a lot more vulnerable than we used to be with all the self-attentions we've been getting. No wonder Armory style is so in trend. The obsession of becoming an urban worrier shows our insecurity.

With a great tradition evolved from military clothing, who could beat Burberry Prorsum for making "war" outfits. Patted and studded! Danger is our nickname!

Tough armory with a soft raffle inside is what we are going for these days.

Live Stream of Burberry Prorsum Ss 2011 Womenswear from London Fashion Week

Live-stream from London, the Burberry Ss 2011 Womenswear show.

Burberry is all over the place these days: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and every other possible media that you can think of. It's become an tradition to live-stream their shows to get everyone involved. The Ss 2011 womenswear is not as intriguing as the show for menswear with too many elements such floral prints, leopard prints, raffles and etc. It lacks a consistent theme and deviated from the tradition of Burberry a little bit too far.

On a side note, I am just fascinated to know how badly-desinged those high-heels are. I've never seen so many models tripped over at one show. Their walk was obviously affected by the shoes and they certainly don't seems uncomfortable~~

I might be too sensitive to say this, but I think Christopher Bailly didn't look happy when he came out for the show down~~ Go check out yourself
