We were Girls Together

This world that I will travel in The lines I cross, the tracks I make The marks I’ll leave on her and him Each left or right, a new mistake

They drop them a height you know? The baby bird, so soft and fresh. They cruelly throw them out of home. To teach them how to fly no less.

And yet here I sit in morbid comfort, Yet to take my single step Is 1000 miles still worth the effort? Who’s really here who won’t forget? About the places that I said I’d go.

The things I swore I would have done. When did my progress through the jungle slow?

To crawling pace through grass and mud.

‘Oh, but life is all about the journey’ Speaks only those with no direction, Live and die in a single city Or wander aimlessly with no infliction.

Of course life is for the journey! From your first and only sinless breath. You only have the journey, The destination’s always death. When your single city falls Or jungles torn down like all the rest, The only birds who’ll know to fly Are those who were thrown from out the nest.

Trackies and loungewear are taking a backseat as body consciousness is back - but with a twist. The Body-conscious - AKA bodycon – trend originated with the 1980s King of Cling’s Azzedine Alaia’s ‘bandage dress’. Following the discovery of the super flexible fabric Lycra, the ‘Bandage dress’ was created from multiple thin strips of nylon and rayon that wrapped together – like a bandage- in order to hug curves into shapely perfection. In the early 2000s, bodycon was reintroduced as the The socialite sisters Paris and Nicky Hilton and Kim Kardashian were among the first to be papped wearing the incredibly tight socalled ‘Bandage dresses’. But how has the bodycon scene changed over time? In the SS23 shows, Manel Torres took bodycon-consciousfashion to the next level on the Coperni Catwalk. He became the first designer to create an instant dress with innovative technology. Model Bella Hadid walked half-naked onto the lit catwalk platform and let the Fabrikant team spray paint the shape of a skin-tight white dress onto her live. The performance took place at Salle des Textiles in Paris’ Musée des Arts et Métierson. The spray-on dress consisted of natural and synthetic fibres such as wool, cotton and nylon that when in contact with Hadid’s skin evaporated into a non-woven fabric. The skin-tight white dress accentuated her figure with a sexy sensual element to it but it focused more on the idea of elegance that roaring sexiness, there was a subtleness to it.
