If one thing is gonna pull me out of a rut, it's these:
The whole collection carried those kinds of motifs, which I loved except for when it got reminiscent of 7th grade notebooks. Eyes are awesome, pentacles are awesome, but wings and paisley are a bit too temporary tattoo-y and took away from garments that otherwise would've been way more intense.
I got more excited when the same effects were made using the fabrics themselves, especially in leather form.
Even though I'm really feeling witch vibes for the weather we're currently having, associating that kind of darkness with fall would be pretty obvious. Like the occasional use of brown leather as opposed to black, applying the gloom to sunnier days allows the pastel/witch contrast to reach a less simplistic place. This made the last look one of my favorites: a light, pure, modestly long slip held together by a caramel harness.

I love the vibrant colors in this collection
I need a side view of the shoe so I can check out the heels!
love the leather!=) btw, Tavi, you were featured in one of our Local magazine last march,=) I took some photos of the pages here: http://numberslettersandfashion.blogspot.com/2010/09/philippine-tattler-march-2010.html
the collection is amazing!
i love your blog a bit too much :)
yes! eyes are super awesome.

I like the second one from the right in the series...
Love the use of "malarky."
you're right on the money. satanic sacrifice.
haha oh gosh. Eyes by themselves kind of freak me out. I can imagine myself choking on spit every time I check my watch and find an eye starting back at me
this leather-one (the last)is the best and it's very sweet to combine this dress with a fur jacket!
Now, let's try to resurrect something.
Amazing details. The black lines so stark - I'm inspired to get DIY and take a pen to my existing clothes!

The 2nd photo, I was drawn to the eye on the sleeve - reminds me fondly of count olaf.

incredible shoes.
I love those shiny orange boots - they remind me of my youth back in the middle nineties. Shiny boots with massive heels, in vibrant colours - I loved the nineties.
Tavi, as much as I adore your style in general, I usually don't like what you like when it comes to shoes.
These are an exception. I love them. G'jorb.
I love it. You're right, all the contrast makes it so much cooler.
The shoes are very unique!

Gorgeous collection! I like so much 3 pic and second, camel dress. (:

Witchcraft and Paganism are religions.
Not style symbols.
A pentagram is not something for designers to use as such.
I love the last dress.

the cognac brown leather dress is amazing
j'adore la 1ère robe, la rose pâle avec la dentelle noire et l'oeil sur la manche. Elle a un côté rétro-surréaliste archétypique qui me parle forcément !

love all of them!

I totally agree with you. I like the clothes but some of the printing does not really have to be there.
nice pics!I like the shoes!

I like the political reference to Christine O'Donnel and her witchcraft ways.
Haha! Very nice shoes, I'm not wow-ed by the last dress. It's goddess like, but not enough wow factor :/
I absolutely adore all the shoes, and the first dress in the second row is my favorite, but you're right, the wings do detract from the overall design.
I love brown leather, and that last outfit is calling my name. The shoes are very "you" Tavi!
http://red-soledfashionista.blogspot.com/
The fallopian pentacle made me laugh.
I totally agree with you about the print looking like a tattoo
And I love the other designs and looks
so cool. I love the brown leather dress and the black and blue lacey-upey one :) xx
Love the Christine O'Donnell comment.. I live in Philly and she has a commercial that goes " I am not a witch. I'm you!" too funny.. sounds like something a witch would say.
Anywhos,I love the pagan symbols throughout the collection. How original!

Olá...sou brasileira, e nesse momento está passando uma novela de grande sucesso no Brasil, "Ti-Ti-Ti", aonde tem uma personagem teen com um blog famoso que critica a criação de alguns estilistas, e, dizem ela foi inspirada em você.Você sabia?
Ahhhhh...Adorei o blog e favoritei.
who knew witches prefer mullets
Great blog!!!
Very mysterious and attractive post-modernism!!!))) I like it!!!)))
I've always been a fan of geometric shapes made with fabric. Unusually shaped blouses and cutouts and such. Never really been interested in prints. Or those tattooesque designs you mentioned. Blah.

Taaavi, I'm pronouncing it the way I read it in the "New Yorker". Hit me with the name of the Chanel lipstick I saw you wear in one of of your posts. I still can't find it. Love love the shoes. Just love them.
I'm feeling the witchyness. Those shoes are to die for!
Tavi, I saw you in a French TV program and I found that you were incredible. And I really love these dresses. If you wanna see some artistic dresses I make, it will be a great pleasure to me.

Maybe I will be the only one to say... I really dont like the shoes... They seem to me very heavy, ugly, and something a cleaning lady once used.
but, THE DRESSES are lovely.
Hey Tavi,
I've seen this collection come by Zana's blog yesterday. Personally I think it's a bit odd to see the topic conspirathy theory becoming a trend for 2011. I wrote a little motivation, but it would take me ages to describe the symbolism and what stands for what. But I sort of get the feeling that the fashion and music industry are embrasing the new world order. What I'm wondering about (as a conspirathy theorist) is if it's just artistic expression of the zeitgeist or an illuminati plan. Hmmm... nice food for thought.

The last picture looks like they stole the leather harnass idea from Zana Bayne, however her work is in it's turn also inspired on fashion designers. She made an almost identical leather garter in tan a while back and she uses same shapes in her work.
love your blog

Those shoes are quite interesting. I really like the clutch though :) Check out my blog! It just turned one today ;)

I like the last look too! I think the harness part could actually just be a print or a different fabric or something and it would still work (because of that sense of structure, with the proportions, the symmetry etc.) – but the fact that it is an actual harness – really increases the effect.
And it’s for a similar reason that I like the middle look in the 1st row. The snugly (Speaking of witch, aren’t those Snuggie things just the greatest! I’d love to fund a documentary on their history if I could just find someone to make it!) fitted bodice with the high-waisted lacy black skirt element, and then the black strips create another impression of structure (but this time I’m pretty sure it’s more about illusion).
love the final dress. im doing stuff on spring '11 check it out.

I was in my grans retirement home and saw the French Vogue there, so random. Anywho, I'm not fluent in French, but i saw some pictures that made me smile. YOU.
Shame not a lot of people know about you, as personally I think you should be a star.

The black dress in the middle is cool.
I like the eye detail on the sleeve. Not a fan of the other stuff, but I see what you mean by tattoo-y motifs. They remind me of one brand I LOATHE with a passion - Ed Hardy.
Leather harness is genius. Need one in my life if I can figure out how to wear it right! XO Valerie

By George, I think I've found it. It was by Tom Ford - not Coco. How could I have been so wrong? Unless, there was another post? I could have sworn.. Anyway I can add the link now. Thank you for the inspiration.

I also really adore this collection, the lines on the dresses are so simplistic yet so complex, and this collection really questions and challenges silhouettes.

I want that harness! And the leather dress!
There were some very interesting details to the collection - I like all the leather work and the criss-cross effect on the front of the blue dress. I just finished customising a dress with a twisted spine, and there's something about the lines of this collection that remind me slightly of it..

I've been meaning to post about this collection ever since I saw it - I LOVE the witchy pentacles with the Joan Jett hair with the turquoise. I will be channelling this come warmer weather, I feel. Minus the mullet.
