True Story

This has got to be my favorite head-to-toe look from the Fall 2012 collections thus far. It literally reads like a perfect book to me, one written by the amazing Hussein Chalayan.

Beginning: zero makeup, save for some silver glitter glossed onto the lids and a side swept mane going from smooth to crinkly waves (a look you can see the making of here).
Middle: a neutral pairing of black and tan oversized boxy cuts hanging to a generous length over perfectly slim hologram trousers.
End: shoes that match the pants? yes, especially if it's more hologram. A perfect ending.

great minds think alike, loved this as well ! chalayan silhouettes but something modern to it with the hologram surfaces.

This is amazing I love it all the hair, the neutral tailored top half and the crazy hologram bottom half. He is a genius

I always have this dilemma with my aesthetics -- am I into minimalistic looks, or crazy, bold ones? Shit bro, this look puts both together.

Totally killer. If only that double shadow thing they have going on follows you everywhere, too!
