oiroy: May 2011

http://oiroy.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 27, 2011. If a modern adaptation of nabokov's scandalous heroine were to ever grace the silver screen again, miuccia prada is the most obvious choice for the costume designer. who else but her can so brilliantly summarize the connection between youth and sex? Between the ugly and the beautiful? Between the past and the present? Sunday, May 15, 2011. In fashion related news, i cashed out kirsten owen at my store about a month ago. i cried a little down there. she was lovely.

I was in tenth grade when i first developed my sincere love affair with art. i have my art teacher ms. root to thank for that. she wasn't just my teacher, she was a dear friend. When the day finally arrived for our day long field trip we waited with the thousands of others in line. you were only allowed an hour to view the collection, and with so much to look at, we were all planning our course of action. that however wa...And t...

oiroy: November 2010

http://oiroy.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 30, 2010. I'm quite sure i've made it obvious in my old posts how obsessed i am with british youth culture of the late seventies/early eighties. because let's face facts, the music and the fashion associated with the musical movements of that era pretty much rules like cash does to wu-tang (if you don't get the C.R.E.am reference then you are hopelessly lame). Instead. a man who grew up at the time of the original skins and who, thank god, had a camera to document it. With the legacy of...

oiroy: March 2011

Wednesday, March 2, 2011. The road to redemption is an epic task that if someone triumphs over, is able to reap the rewards of salvation and praise. but what happens when a man's reputation becomes unsalvageable? When one action will forever define the character of a person? A permanent tarnish that becomes his mark of cain. I remember being glued in front of the television in awe with just how magical the whole thing was. even though i was watching it from a television screen, i knew i was witnessin...

oiroy: January 2012

http://oiroy.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 10, 2012. The result of a five year collaboration between photographers yves marchand and romain meffre, "the ruins of detroit". Is a fascinating study of a once great city slowly crumbling into dust. once the heart of american industrialization, detroit was a beacon for forward thinking ideas. it is the spiritual home of the automobile and the birth place of motown. can you even imagine a world without cars or how different the music we listen to today would sound like?

oiroy: JACK CHAMBERS

Friday, February 17, 2012. It's been ages since i went to the AGO (art gallery of ontario fyi). the last time i went was a couple of years ago for the re-opening after frank ghery pimped out the joint and made the once non-descript building one of the architectural wonders of toronto. When you walk in, the first gallery you pass through is rather a long one. unchanged even after the ghery addition. it was still long and quite narrow, but it was exactly the same. raoul duffy's "yellow violin". Situated on...

oiroy: June 2011

http://oiroy.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 26, 2011. Lace, suede, golf? What do these three have in common? Well miuccia hates all of them! And as usual, it becomes the starting point for one of her critically lauded collections. the latter jump starting one of her most exuberantly joyful collection to date. prints versus prints on colour versus fabric. tacky much? Wednesday, June 22, 2011. Canucks are running rampant in ye old london towne! Did all the good designers abandon the great white north for the promise of england?

oiroy: INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION

http://oiroy.blogspot.com/2012/02/industrial-evolution.html

Sunday, February 26, 2012. From its humble beginnings as the uniform of miners and blue collar factory workers, utilitarian workwear has been welcomed with arms wide open by the apostles of high fashion. and no one does it better than junya watanabe! I reckon levi strauss is smiling down from heaven with a grin as wide as the big, blue sky! There's enough rivets and denim here to make a thousand pairs of 501s. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fashion bits and bobs. What's wrong with the zoo.

Monday, September 27, 2010. You might've noticed that lately i've been quite obsessed with interior design. when i was jobless i spent loads of time coming up with projects to pimp out my house. now that i'm finally employed and have a paycheque, i've become even more obsessed with my house. i've even finally settled on which couch to buy. that's like the most grown-up thing i'm going to buy to date!
