Circumstances on the breaking back

So evidently Thursday is Christopher Kane day here at Elle of the Ball.
Just a few of my favourites from his highly anticipated Topshop Collection.

In other news, I'm highly amused by the fuss fashion bloggers are creating in the headlines over the last number of weeks. First there was last weeks' Kane epidemic and now people are going gaga over little Tavi Gevinson of Style Rookie. Sure shes only 13 but if I was given the opportunity to miss school for NY Fashion Week believe me I would. This girl is a prodigy and perhaps not of intellectual means but of creativity and vision she is a prodigy. If she knows what she wants and has the opportunity, the norms of society shouldn't stand in her way.
It's her life, let her live it.

To Arthur!

The scars of all I'll ever know

So evidently, there has been a helluva a lotta fuss over criticism from Style Bubble and The Stylish Wanderer about this Christopher Kane creation. I'm sure you've seen it but heres a photo anyways...

The main issue was the fact that New York fashion week was literally littered with these t-shirts. Comments on this did not go down well with the readers, presumably because these readers had perhaps jumped on the Gorilla Dress bandwagon and were a little touchy about having their style 'dissed', so to speak.
Me? Well I personally liked this dress when it first came out, I thought it quite innovative and creative (what else would you expect from Christopher Kane?) and then I saw a photo of Rihanna and was put off.
Now I do agree, it is everywhere. And the imitations annoy me more, at least at NY Fashion Week there was the reassurance that the dresses were the real McCoy.
Nothing annoys me more than forking out a fortune only to see someone else wearing a copy that they paid a fraction for sure, mine will last longer and sure, I had it first but, mine was 200 smackers and she got hers for a tenner and I am SICKENED. Good day!
