Today we are crushing on...MIA
One of the few good things that I managed to take away from my past relationship was my love for Mia.
Straight talking, hard hitting, don't-give-a-fuck attitude, she just blows me away. Not just her lyrics are sharp, but her choice in fashion is pretty out there too, which to be fair, totally gets me. Since the split, I listened to her a lot. I don't know why but her lyrics did something to me.
She's about going out there, facing the world and getting shit done. Couldn't have more respect for the woman if I tried.

Suspended Coffee
"We enter a little coffee house with a friend of mine and give our order. While we’re approaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter:
‘Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended’ They pay for their order, take the two and leave.
I ask my friend: “What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?”
My friend: “Wait for it and you will see.”
Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four ‘suspended’. While I still wonder what’s the deal with those ‘suspended’ coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square in front of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in through the door and kindly asks
‘Do you have a suspended coffee ?’
It’s simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm beverage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or a whole meal.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have such cafés or even grocery stores in every town where the less fortunate will find hope and support ? If you own a business why don’t you offer it to your clients… I am sure many of them will like it"

Gareth Pugh - Fall 2013 RTW
The omens were good at the Gareth Pugh show this evening, in the ornate salons of the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild. To begin with, Cher was in attendance, causing something of a furor among the press. It seemed that the oft-reinvented singer was something of a lucky black cat for Pugh, as the London-based designer produced a great show that married some of the old Gareth with the new Pugh of last season.
Pugh's linear, graphic style—you can have any color as long as it's black, white, or gray—was back. Yet it was coupled with that slightly softer romanticism of last season; there was a prolonged section of deep blue in this collection, something not seen before from the designer, as well as an enveloping sense of forceful femininity. As the show began, Pugh's structured, rigid silhouettes were mixed with a late-Victorian, floor-sweeping sensibility that brought to mind a Wilkie Collins set piece. A stiff, stark, floor-length funnel-necked dress was softened somewhat by gold embroidery of branches around its edges. Yet, as the woman in white was gradually replaced by the woman in black, any thoughts of ethereality were swiftly banished, especially as the model Marie Piovesan came down the runway playing a forceful role.
"We had found this information about a tribe of women called the Asgarda," Pugh said after his show. "They're amazing and inspiring. They want autonomy from men, and they live in the Carpathian Mountains." The influence of this contemporary band of extremely tough women, who take their cues from the Amazons, filtered into the collection, knocking any notions of mere costume drama out of it. "It is about both fight and flight this time," said Pugh. The standout looks were based on simple T-shirt shapes with full-length skirts, which had an ease about them that was new for the designer. They were a direct reference to the Asgarda, but also an artful nod to mid-century couture, marrying a new and an old sensibility for Pugh that suits him well.
In Pugh's metamorphosis last season, you couldn't help but miss a little of that giddy London fun of his earlier shows and collections. Today it was back, on an ultra-bratty but ultra-sophisticated level, in his tour de force use of garbage bags. Never has a trash bag been put to more dramatic and romantic use than in this collection's finale looks. Specially chosen for their very cheapness—the texture was almost raffialike—they were carefully crafted, woven into astonishing dresses that had an extravagant feel of topiary. "There isn't a bin bag left in E8!" laughed Pugh. These particular ones were selected from the Dalston one-pound shop near his studio in London. Trash transformed into treasure.
