GFW 2009: Shroomin’ It

>> Ravensbourne student Marie Molterer has combined my current obsession with neoprene clothing (furthermore PAINSTAKINGLY constructed neoprene…) and my all-time food obsession; mushrooms.  Are you into chanterelles, shitaki, ceps, enoki, portobello or otherwise?  An important question that needs to be answered I feel. 

P.S. Really really gutted about the Gold Award winner…. NOT who I was expecting at all…

  1. I really like this collection too, infact I thought all of the ravensbourne collections that have been on the net have been really strong.
    I’m abit surprised at the gold winner too though…who decides that? Makes me wonder how much of an influence River Island is.

  2. Amen! I was quite surprised about the Gold Winner too… I thought it was just me. Still, really good collections all round I thought.

  3. I dunno about the River Island influence…. I just think they went too safe overall…. though Mehmet Ali for Menswear was a great choice…
    Lucy: WHAT don’t you like about mushrooms?? So many varieties and when cooked simply…hmmm…. what I really want right now is a duck egg yolk spilt over pan fried chanterelles… hmmm… lush lush lush….

  4. This kind of thing isn’t really what I usually like, but i have to say I LOVE this! I don’t know, maybe it’s the mushrooms..

  5. MMMmmm…may have to go raid the fridge for mushrooms now..
    That last pic fills me with fear though! Anything that makes my hips or thighs look even a centimetre wider that they are…NOOOOOOooooo!

  6. ah mushrooms…used to hate em as a kid but love em these days. just had some shitake in my bamboo shoot stirfry this evening.
    have to agree with you on the winner of the Gold Award. disappointing to say the least.

  7. OOOOO, I love the way they preserve wild mushrooms in the south of France. I really miss that.
    This color palette is one of the best I’ve seen this season, although I could do without the extra wide hips, haha.

  8. I love mushrooms and this collection! The first ensemble reminds me so much of the Swedish Marionette Theater in Central Park, which is a good thing. How I used to love that theater!

  9. i love neoprene at the moment. went to buy some today to make into a sculptured jacket but could only afford a sample!
