too sexy for my shirt

Modesty, oh, modesty. Who doesn't want to admire a svelte women? Look at legs that go on for miles? Gaze at perfectly pronounced collar bones? Yes, there are some who should probably cover up a bit more, maybe even thrown on a pair of undergarments...Fashion designers have appropriately noted this in their 2010 RTW collections, emphasizing and focusing on the female anatomy and allowing spectators eyes to wander to parts of the skin that are usually kept covered.


Alexander Wang's collection fuses sporty with sexy; apparent in his midriff bearing and leg enhancing outfits, "as if a bevy of cool but wayward high-school girls had raided the locker room armed with a pair of scissors."


Rodarte's collection displays garments that look as though they have been elegantly torn and tarnished. Think of an alluring woman who has been wandering in the desert for some time, choosing a Rodarte outfit to endure her long journey. Peek-a-boo holes that show hints of the stomach and upper thigh.


Vivienne Westwood's wild hair and make up styles evoke Alice in Wonderland, only Alice seems to have lost part of her outfits on her way tumbling down the rabbit hole...or  after a scuffle with the Queen of Hearts.


Versace's collection can be summed up with these words: sexy, short, see-through, slits, slants, superb.

Pamela Anderson photographed by Juergen Teller for Vivienne Westwood's spring/summer 2009. the best shots in the campaign feature queen-of-punk Vivienne Westwood and husband Andreas Kronthaler. the top palm springs meets wizzard of oz shot is my fav. it really captures how i imagine vivienne westwood reacting if she got stranded in the palm springs desert. "golf courses and wind farms and swimming pools-o my!"

Vivienne Westwood with a side of Duran Duran

Vivienne Westwood, who worked with Duran Duran in the 90s, fall 08 rtw collection is wild. Urban wild.

Vivienne, one of the few authentic rock n' roll gals left these days, asked 7 and 8-year-olds to paint on the clothes. Westwood told the children about the global-warming crisis, and asked them to paint uniforms for "a socity of jungle-dwelling eco-warriors". The final product a fiercely tailored line with patterns reminiscent of Basquiat, Miro, and sounds like Duran Duran's "Rio"....babe you're bird of paradise.
