Precision

Rarity-edited designs-emotional trail

French creation-formal craftsmanship-understatement
Anarchie
Material clashes- upside down codes- cool chaos

 I’m still a relatively new fan of knitwear duo Deborah and Priscilla Royer (AKA Piece D’anarchive and am still finding myself swooning over their s/s 14 “chapter 05” collection
I wasn’t aware of Piece D’anarchive before this season, but it’s hardly surprising this collection caught my eye. Being someone who appreciates both street wear and sportswear but struggles to fit them around my chaotic “awkward clumpy witch” wardrobe, this collection felt like a breath of fresh air.

“Chapter 05” pretty much sums up everything that excites me about fashion. Obsessive attention to detail, simplistic shapes, monochrome layering, unisex styling, structured grids, clashing textures, SQUARES and shit loads of lasercutting/devore- not to mention those insane platforms! Mmmm
What I love most however is how they’ve included those obvious street inspired elements (baseball caps, nikes/converse), while successfully keeping that all important minimal pared back and high quality feel,  Plus it’s almost entirely monochrome. Need I say more?

I've wanted a septum piercing for I don't know how long, so despite the entire world trying to convince me not to and telling me I'd look ugly (thanks guys), I did it anyway. And I love it! (so there). 
I have to admit, the healing process has not been pretty- imagine not being able to eat or press you lips together, not the mention the awkward moment when my nose bled on my boyfriend... great. I like to think the pain will eventually be worth it, and I can start changing to bar to a few delicate little hoops- I can't wait! For the next few weeks though I'll carry on clutching my face in pain- wish me luck!
