be my baby (Olympia Le-Tan)

It seems wrong to compare my feelings about a collection with my feelings about Jimmy, but the things going through my mind when I found this were so, so similar: How did I not know about you? How were you here, in the world, and not in my life? How uncomfortable would it be for you if I cut off your skin and got into it?

Allow me to explain. In the weekend I found this, which immediately became one of my favourite fashion shots of all time.

I want to turn it into wallpaper, and put it all over my house. I want to paste my face onto it. I want to stand in this pose, in the corner of the kitchen, and never move again. I want to start eating grapefruit for breakfast, instead of porridge, and to go for runs, so that my hips don't line up with my shoulders the way they do, and I look like this in pencil skirts and crop tops. I want to wear my hair like this, and put on fake lashes every day. I want to listen to The Ronettes, and The Shirelles, and The Crystals, and nothing else.

It's from Olympia Le-Tan(who was just a name and some handbags to me before this)'s Spring/Summer 2013 collection, which she first showed back in October. October! This has been in the world for eight months, and I didn't know. I can't marry it right away, which is what I did with Jimmy, but I CAN think about it all the time, and look at it until I fall asleep, which is what I plan to do. Never before have I seen an entire collection and wanted every last piece in it, or seen a runway show this enjoyable, and brilliant. (You'll want to full screen it.)

It's love.
