After getting all excited over all the lovely finds I unearthed on New High (M)art, I got stuck into some research into all the Mexican designers with the intention of knocking something out on Dazed Digital. Sadly after some further research it turns out that one of the designers Marvin y Quetzal, designers of THOSE wonderful wooden platform shoes passed away late last year and so Marvin y Quetzal's S/S 09 collection is their last. I had all the intentions of doing a Mexican designer trio Q&A. But alas, it wasn't to be. However one of the trio – TEAMO, also discovered on New High (M)art (though they don't stock their wonderful clothing…just the jewelery) deserve a bit of attention – a big Mexican fashion wave (sorry, couldn't resist it…), especially with their simplified (in comparison to their last collection I feel…) S/S 09 collection.
It's a leeetle bit reminiscent of early Louise Gray collections, except pared down and when minimised to a palette of black/white, purple, pink and orange (it's that specific S/S 09 colour clash again…), the embellishments of the ruffles arranged like faces works with terrific subtlety. On a slightly more shallow note they also look like 'fun time' dresses… dresses I'd slip on with static-hair and flats and not much else in the summer… whenever that chooses to show up in this country.
I LOVE the white and pink face dresses… I’m not normally into little novelty embellishments like this but I fell in love with these when I first saw them… The bottom line is I want a bulging furry eyes for boobs! xx
i have jus added you to my dayly read i love your posts!

I adore all the hues of purple! Makes me want to dye my hair. I’m currently obsessed with anything purple, off whites and limegreen. Anyways, I saw that Topman is looking for a stylist. Anyone? http://jobstaxi.com/viewjob.php?jobid=111469
I love the pink dresses…it’s such a beautiful color. And the orange is simply delicious!
Love the orange & deep purple colours, just gorgeous!!!
I am completely digging that ruffled orange tunic.
