KHAKI GREEN x PLUM

Dear Diary,

I can’t believe it’s already December. I mean how crazy is it that we just have a few weeks until Christmas? BANANAS. It all went by so fast, but I am certainly looking forward to the holidays and spending time with my family and all my loved ones. In other news, I was serving layers on a platter for these chilly days I have been experiencing in my neck of the woods. I’ve always loved oxblood. It is certainly a hue that compliments a variety of complexions. I don’t own too many pieces in it, but after shooting this combination with the khaki green long bomber I may just invest in a few more things in oxblood. I may just do a post showcasing people with different skin tones rocking oxblood, what do you think?

Despite my inability to share some images from the installation with you all, per Mr. West’s strict regulations of keeping the video exclusive to the museum, I want to compensate by leaving you with a quote from the director elaborating on the concept of the film ; “The video for Kanye West ‘s song All Day/I Feel Like That plays upon the relationship between the camera and the subject. As in a meeting between the bull and the matador, it remains unclear who chases whom within the arena. The roles of pursuer and pursued are at times inverted. Shot in a single 9 minute take with natural lighting and minimal context, McQueen accentuates the immediacy and intensity of the performer up close. Every movement of West is seen; every breath felt. It becomes apparent how the song itself fuels West’s performance, from the tornado in “All Day” to the vulnerability of I Feel Like That”
