Wishing for 1-V

Dear Tommy has beeng trying to capture the 3-V's of people on Jak and Jil – a head, mid and feet view of a person's outfit, the complete components of an ensemble.  Normally I'd say the 3Vs are all equally important to an outfit but on this particular day, I'd have to hand the reins over to my mid-section.  No, not my not-so-flat belly but to the area between my hips and knees….more specifically, the fantastic fabric cut-out detailing happening on this Modernist layered purple skirt, from THAT beautifully laboured SS09 collection.

I'd go as far as saying that in today's sunshine I'd like to be a walking 1-V mid section like Mr Potato Head…except without the head and some wee feet sticking out to aid walking.  Such is the effect of this skirt that I'm willing to sacrifice some limbs and vital organs.

After talking up Lie Sang Bong's cut-out laden AW09 collection and experiencing the power of cut-outs for myself, I'm on a cut-out rampage, the more intricate and 1-V inducing, the better…

  2. I’m afraid that that skirt is too nice and that I’m going to have to confiscate it at Easter. You have been warned.

  4. i think this skirt suits you slightly better than it would Mr Potato Head 🙂

  8. So the collage method of documenting the daily looks is here to stay? Please say yes! It’s all so terribly eye-catching. Good to see the Rodidier making another appearance…

  19. That skirt is a wearable work of art – you look wonderful!
    This blog is my favorite fashion blog for so many reasons – the featuring of wonderful, unique items like the skirt is just one of them!

  21. Dear god that skirt is my dream.
    it is now my goal to DIY it. Hm… how to do that.

  24. Purple and teal is one of my favourite colour combinations.
    P.S. I love the head-to-toe collages of late!

  25. I love it – it’s nouveau and structure rolled into a purple piece of wearable art. You styled it amazingly. =)

  29. That skirt is truly amazing! Love it with that teal blazer, G O R G E O U S !
    Wish I could learn how to make those wicked collages! Do you use Photoshop? 🙂

  32. That skirt is practically art! It reminds me of when I was very little because it looks like felt. 🙂 You wear it perfectly. 😀

  33. Fabulous skirt, but I’d love to see you SMILE sometime! 🙂
    You’re gorgeous, so I’m curious what you look like when smiling.

  40. OK, I want…badly. Their website is under construction – do you have any stockist details?

  44. I love the colour of the skirt and the collage effect too. Not sure it would fit very well in my poor credit crunched wardrobe!

  50. Stunning! Those cut-outs translate so nicely. Better than I would have imagined. I can now envision entire cut-out illustrated tales on a skirt/dress…
