London designer Marios Schwab has an uncanny ability to find complexity in the most simplistic of design. For his fall 2008 collection, his inspiration came after reading a Victorian proto-feminist novel, The Yellow Wallpaper, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Why then, might I ask, does each piece resemble a member of the Coleoptera family? (Unless, of course, Schwab was able to make the connection between the hard exterior of a Victorian-era feminist with the hardened shield-like forewings of a beetle.)

Great matchups AGAIN. I like the attention to texture. Another great post!
I forgot to say: I love the new look of this site.
I love the iridescence of look one. I can so see wearing that to my next cocktail party with the wrap from that last look.
I also second enc's sentiments, wonderful new look site. Congrats on all your hard work.
All I have to say about most of those designs is: eww. Although I kind of like 8.
this is a wonderful post! i guess great minds think alike! ;^) but it's so obvious, isn't it? one wonders why everyone doesn comment thusly!
