Photo

A few things come to mind when I see this photo: Mary Kate Olsen in Nylon Marla Singer in Fight Club Christina Ricci’s character in 200 Cigarettes There used to be this distinction of ‘Runway’ to ‘Real Way’.  I don’t know if it’s the times, or if it’s living in NY but I feel like these rules are a bit no holds barred.  There are girls out there who can pull off this look (and do) and the girls out there who go out with girls who can pull off this look… but it’s so easy to forget that there are the girls out there who wouldn’t ever actually SEE girls wearing this look in the flesh.  I don’t know where this is going… stream of consciousness… Anyway, THIS is a sneak peek of one of the looks in Topshop’s a/w ‘09 Marianne Collection, inspired by 70’s groupies.  I do love the bands and I do love the 70’s, but I’m more into channelling the disco girl (i.e. Bianca Jagger).  Actually… the more I look at this picture I don’t think I could even pull off any part of this outfit.  It still looks awesome on the model tho… and probably on my friend Sass.  I guess that makes me girl B?
