prepare for the times ahead…

its twisted how fashion and politics in the higher level are connected…
in the early 2000's, camouflage took over all the fashion retailers racks as the 'print of the moment'
a little time later, once we had already implanted the idea of war attire [cargo pants where never as fancy as back in those days, remember?] as a way of life, we were facing the thread of the third world war, which sort of happened throughout the last 10 years or so…
now, today we face the same uncertainty… and all our parkas and camouflage printed everything feels inappropriate.

es curioso como la moda y las políticas en niveles superiores están conectados…
a principios del 2000, el camuflaje estaba en todas las prendas de los almacenes como el estampado en todos los colores y sabores; un poco después, cuando ya nos habíamos hecho a la idea de que las prendas de ejercito eran la opción para la vida diaria [los pantalones de estilo militar nunca fueron tan populares como en aquel entonces recuerdan?], nos enfrentamos a la amenaza de la tercera guerra mundial, que paso en alguna manera durante estos últimos 10 años mas o menos…
ahora, hoy estamos frente la misma incertidumbre… y todas nuestras parkas y todo lo que tenga camuflaje se siente inapropiado.
 
in my defense, i wore this to the movies yesterday, before i knew what was going to happen today…
and i think this shoes have been on serious rotation lately.

en mi defensa, use esto ayer para ir al cine, antes de saber que esto sucederia hoy…
y creo que estos zapatos han sido seriamente abusados ultimamente.

    2. Yes I agree! What size are the glasses? (I believe they have it in 52 and 54)
      Sadly, this design from Chanel is discontinued where I live.

      Other than that, I hope to see more post of your fashion. I really love your style! It helps me with my fashion, which I am not too good..!
