(Warning, this is a picture heavy post...) Okay, so this post was originally on the wearability/functionality of Barcelonian Txell Miras' A/W 09/10 'Framing' collection (above), as I do strive to mainly post clothing that I would actually wear. I had typed something about the usefulness of the more conceptual pieces at an event held in an architecturally interesting/awkward place with some pointy-shaped standing space. Or at a Tetris-themed party. And then I was comparing it to Txell's toned down S/S 10 collection, which has frames only in print (see below).
But then I got completely blindsided by her previous collections. Going backwards, I gasped out loud at Txell's S/S 08 collection (below).
And then at her A/W 07/08 collection (below).
And then at her A/W 06/07 collection (below).
And then at her S/S 05 collection (below)...
In short, this woman has about ten years experience in fashion design, so there was a lot of gasping going on in the last hour here. I'm simply amazed both at the fact that I haven't heard of her before, and at the fact her collection from 2005 seems so current and exactly what I would wear right now. Truly, a wardrobe spanning all of Txell Miras' collections would contain every fashion desire I could have: layering, frills, volume, structure, military-inspired designs, texture, avant garde-ness, blacks, browns, greys, whites, olives, skirts, dresses, pants, leggings, jackets... My brain is honestly quite overloaded at the moment.
Oh, and I also love this family tree as a jacket, from Txell's 2001/2002 pre-collection works. Reminds me of Bonzie's signature vintage look.
P.S. Thanks to all of my new and not-so-new followers! It made me smile to see so many friendly faces in my sidebar today.

lovely post!
i can't wait for winter.
the collections are amazing, today i really could use something from A/W 09/10
;**
I think it speaks volumes when a designer stays true to their original ideas, honing them over the years, not picking up on trends and changing their vision. And that last jacket/blouse is making me gasp, sigh and drool!!
My thoughts exactly, Linda.
What a dream find Steff! I've said it before and I'll say it again, you have an uncanny ability to unearth the most amazing talents from around the web, this designer is incredible!!
