in which i review haute couture using 30 rock quotes from the one with james franco

So...I went to Paris and kind of forgot to mention it on this here blog? Was packing until the very last moment, no wireless in the hotel, etc., so now I am home. I present to you a shorter review of the shows I saw...composed almost entirely of quotes from the James Franco episode of 30 Rock.

Let's begin with Christion Dior, this bar jacket, specifically.Lace, pastels, bows-it's everything I've ever wanted, kind of like having ice cold diarrhea from drinking too much Jamba Juice!

This extravagant dress had an incredibly lengthy train, which made me want to ask the model if she was an ass scientist, because her ass blah blah blah you get the point.

And now for Chanel. First of all, the HAIR! So good, like if you combined a pillow that's been in the microwave with wig extensions from a store you might get if you typed "Nancy's Secrets" into the Internet.

Next, we have this cardigan I've been sort of afraid to wear, it has fuzzy buttons, and-I'M NOT GOING BACK TO NOTHINSVILLE!-Randy Lemon you open this door right now!
Where were we? Oh right, cardigan.
Looking fierce? If it was 2006!

The last look was accompanied by a male, as if she was Greta and he was Klaus.Your silver suit is all good and well, Male Model, but if you really want to become Julianne Moore's lover, YOU SHOULD BUY A LEATHER JACKET!!

Moving on to Armani-Was it inspired by the moon? Does chewing on a sponge trick your brain's hunger center? Yes, yes, a million times yes!

Last but not least, Givenchy. I would wear this lil' number to a bar called Homebutt:
And so wraps up my intellectual, sophisticated review of this couture season. When at shows, it's important to keep in mind that no matter how much you want to skip onto the runway and poke Freja Beha's poufy hair, you must contain yourself and take a picture instead. Kumiko taught me that.

I have to go re watch this now. and look back over the shows. My brain hurts from multi variable calKILLus homework. I need a break.

Thank God you weren't wearing that big hairdo! NO ONE would have been able to see through it. ;-)

So wear it next season.

Grazia didnt appreciate your bow! Go judo chop them, show'em whos boss.

What we four say said...

These collections are bringing me back to the 90's which is a little scary considering those were my junior high and high school years. It's a weird thing, at least I am not still dressing like that! Well that is until I do again. You know some people dress just like high school, forever. Loved the bow, BTW!!

awwww, I adore Couture season, simply divine! You've put an interesting twist and interpretative review on the collections. I have to say, I am tres jealous you attended the show. Keep up the excellent work Tavi!

That armani dress is too cool. It reminds me of an amoeba, in a good way (duh).

Great post.

J said...

Hi - Usually I don't like to comment on things, but I feel like you should address your accessory choice during Dior Couture. I saw some pictures of the poor folk who had to sit behind you, and instantly felt very confused and irritated.
For someone such as yourself who's wise beyond your years, didn't you think before wearing the admittedly cute but inappropriate bow? There was obviously no excuse for you obstructing other people's view of the collection, and it just seems very obnoxious and childish (both characteristics ones not usually used to describe Tavi) to do such a thing. Although you're 13 (I'm 16 myself!), you're in an adult environment and while showing personal style is an admirable thing, you really should've taken others into consideration. I can't help but feel that it alludes to egocentrism...

Vivien_5115 said...

30 Rock quotes make everything better!!!! Kudos Tavi :)

HolyshitiLoveyou said...

That heart-shaped hair looks just like Mom from Futurama!

Diane said...

You're very lucky to attend these shows :)

Anyway I like the original way in which you review them :P So funny...

Dior lover till I die..

Neon Sprinkle said...

Amazing, was there a particular show that you liked? Dior was very whimsical, as expected! But I NEVER anticipated Chanel to be (almost/just as) whimsical. It was kind of strange, I loved the idea of it a lot though.

The Armani couture felt a little felt a tiny bit held back in comparison.

Amazing that you were invited, keep at it! :)

You know, those Chanel's hair are inspired on Gary Oldman's Dracula character... in fact, the girls look a little bit like in that film (I hope you've seen it, so you can get the point of it all).

Also I like Givenchy and Chanel.

Chanel = win. Generally. Silver suit is sort of more retarded spaceman kind of thing but nonetheless.

And the cardigans at the beginning were a little bit 2006-ish.

Let's all wear silk! AND PRETEND TO BE THE MOON, ARMANI! Uhm.. okkaayy.

I want that hair. So much. You can do a mini-version with really short hair (such as mine) and it would look really epic with your hair, what with it being BLUE and all.

Sorry. Just thought I should reinforce the coolness of your hair. :)

Lots of lurve,

I like your blog and I think I would have enjoyed this post more if I made the effort to watch 30 Rock. But I enjoy the fact that you've teamed something so very FASHION IS SRS BSNS with something so mainstream like sitcom quotes.
And the silver suit is basically amazing.

Erm, so I know you were only three-ish when he retired from couture, and I know you prolly didn't get to see the show in person, because it was all unorthodox and self-produced and a little off the radar, but the very first thing I thought upon perusing the shots from Thimister's return to the runway this spring was "Gosh! I wonder what Tavi would think of this collection!" It's on Style.com. You should check it out. Its gorgeous, intelligent, and thought provoking, to say the least.

Rose said...

Oh. And the giant pink feathered hairbow at Dior? Stunning. I'm making one for myself, stat, with electric blue pheasant feathers. Your whole outfit for that show was dreamy as hell, especially with the pastel hair. Snarky priveleged editrixes (who are probably nearly a foot taller than you in their towering blood soaked stillettos anyway) can just peer through the loops and put up with the fact that the world doesn't revolve around them.

reckless daughter said...

that was fantastic - even though it was slightly over my head having not seen the JF 30ROCK.

Anyhow...I love the Chanel hair especially. I'm sure it was incredible in person!

Anonymous said...

My first impression of Tavi - a fashion disaster looking for a place to happen, but something untoward happened to the critical me on the way to that observation. As I wandered through her blog site strewn with debris, it was faintly reminiscent of a badly behaving school girl, but then I began to see more into her personhood. Perky and outspoken, she arose out of this disheveled chaos, a creative phoenix, her eyes and mind - a flashing neon billboard of individuality with wisdom far beyond her years.

Strangely, I found myself checking my uptight writing and slightly middle class style for a single sign of my identity and withered under her scrutinizing revolutionary art deco expressionism. Suddenly, I decided to give up my pompish idealism to ask myself, are you really free to be yourself? In fact, I began to realize what I craved in my own endeavors - a personal stamp! Hello, out there, Tavi! Thanks for being you. Fancy finding myself in the mirror of your royal funkiness!

In a flash, I began to realize what I liked about her and this is the gist of it. It is Tavi’s creative flair and persuasively infectious unique character that seem to know no limits. It mystically unwound itself out of the ball of miscellany that adorned the collage of her individual palette of colors and boundless ideas. Yes, maybe that was it in a nutshell, i.e. Tavi is a natural artist, decorator and creative stylist, philosopher and individualist all rolled up into one multi-talented kid-adult-old person.

Superlatives hint of who she appears to be, but fail to identify her style, art deco as it is. Surreal in quality, not bound by habit or critique, peers or peeps, “snarky internet trolls or simply scheming ‘suck-ups” seeking to crack the code to her popularity and, dare I say, her vivacious spirit. Truly, her freedom ‘to be’ permeates the defiant flair that haunts her historical disregard for time or place. Everyone feels a part of her creativity as she dashes in and out of every haberdashery of self-expression regardless of the consequences of how it might or might not fit into the last dwindling vestiges of style or trend.

Tavi weaves ideas like a surreal fashion goddess out of the buttons and bows most people discard. We pause with gnawing vision sensing the pressing evolution of a New Age Versace stalking the future fast falling upon us. So we nod and bow realizing that we are meeting at this vital primary stage of individuality, a brilliant leader who with printed school girl socks, joke shop sunglasses, miss-matched but incredibly ‘in’ get ups, has something to say. We can’t help but pause to admire and listen, feeling we’d almost forgotten something particularly special about life until meeting Tavi~
