“Hip Pop” for W Magazine

Posted on May 13, 2011 in Fashion

Precious unborn fawns, the sun is shining and the work week is drawing to a close. Before we all rush out the door to get drunk, let’s pause and take in some bright colors and wild prints to refresh our souls. Besides, if we wait until after you get drunk, it might all be too much for you to handle and no one wants to kick off the weekend by throwing up and passing out. Well. Maybe some of you do. Just remember to pace yourself and drink lots of water. And don’t sit on boys’ laps!

Enjoy it while both eyes are focused, darlings!

To much going on and it is to distracting for me to enjoy this editorial.
Breeze

OUCH! You definitely don’t want to look at this under the influence… and BTW, two weeks down, guys… great job… enjoy your evening out!
MilaXX

Okay I’m having a hard time seeing the hip hop influence in this, but I love the color & those tights are to die for. Favorites are the Emilio Cavallini tights and Roger Vivier shoes in the 2nd pic and the Emilio Cavallini tights,and Prada shoes in the 7th.
Julie

first pic: Batman villian!!!
Rest look like someone trying to imitate Mondo. Some do a better job than others.

Too late. I’m already out; I’m already buzzed…and I’m already sitting on a gentleman’s lap.

..but we both thing the editorial is interesting.

frigging gorgeous… sure, there’s a lot going on, but it all works beautifully together and never comes off crowded (like that jewelry foliage editorial did). each piece is distinct and has its own voice, carrying its own weight in each outfit, but most of the outfits are greater than the sum of their parts. daring AND successful, for a change.

neon prep/oxycontin country club. some lovely pieces, but not loving how they put them together. maybe with simpler settings they wouldn’t feel so… trying too hard?

I think I got drunk LOOKING at this editorial. Well, I got the spins, anyway… Gorgeous color and pattern here, but a little too much all at once to really take in.

perhaps gaga could make the particular & lovely social contribution that outfits such as the abovenoted will become workwear even, in their downmarket issue, for the proles.

that would be nice &, as a personal bonus, her taking sans transformation so many other people’s ideas would annoy me far less.

I love the hats.They’re like costumes from a live-action “Angry Birds” movie.
raVen

at first glance i was like “yeah colour! yeah patterns! yeah mirrors!” seemed fun and exciting. but it wore out after the third photo and became a blur. could maybe have used just a little editing.

on second though and third look, i think its an editorial that you need to take time over. like look at one picture ever 5 minutes. now i wish i had the magazine instead of trying to digest through the internet.

I thought about Batman too, although I do love that cape!

I love all the colors and the riot of sensation. But yeah, I can’t really see the clothes. Okay, my job here is done, time to open a bottle of wine. Happy Friday, everyone!
Judy S

Lots of fun! Thanks. Although it’s not exactly easy to identify what is coat/jacket/scarf.

Amazing. The world would be a brighter place (both literally and figuratively) if we could all dress like this…Why can’t we???
sunny

Loved the looks, but just NO on pony skin coats! I love ponies too much!
cole

’alexander mcqueen ponyskin coat’ is that literal, or is ponyskin some hip new synthetic i’ve never heard of?

Also why is there so much wool? its may for gods sake
Drdirection

Holy Crapass! Thanks for the warning.

I still absolutely covet those striped Prada heels…

Love all the tights and shoes (particularly in the seventh pic) as well as the Bottega Veneta coat

…. further proof that Mondo should’ve won. Le sigh

Beautiful editorial! Love the energy.
Jocelynis

Love the Balenciaga clutch.

Funny you mention throwing up, because it looks like someone threw up clothes all over these girls. I get what they’re going for here, but there are so many layers- gloves and hats and bags and coats and more coats. It’s a little much.
zanna6

Ugh, I feel slightly nauseated at all this…activity. And I swear, the first few photos I thought were of Adam Lambert. Guess I’m totally not hip.
nauseated kitten

oooh god I feel nauseated. Like one too many times on the tilt-a-hurl after too much cotton candy/
Addis R. Pérez

That was my exact same sentiment. I can’t differentiate the pieces being featured!
tom

Ok, I know it has been months and months and we have all moved on but……. It’s editorials and fashion like this that makes Nina and Michael look especially crazy argueing that Gretchen was more “on trend” than Mondo. We have seen this over and over, Mondo had his finger squarely on the pulse of the coming year.
boweryboy

I don’t believe it’s suppose to be hip hop influenced.

I think the title of the editorial is hip “pop” as in pop art. Think Andy Warhol or Peter Max.

Very very fun, if a bit hard to see the clothes. Yowza! If I’d even had 1/2 a cocktail my head might be spinning out of control. Now it’s time for a Gin and Tonic. Happy weekend everyone.

Pony skin? Ugggggggggh.

I thought it was Posh Spice for a second

♡ Color! ❤

Please don’t let there ever be an Angry Birds movie.

Why not overindulge in color and pattern? Fashion tripping! I like.
Merrigator

Wow! So fun–the energy’s almost palpable. LOVE.
Instant Karma

I feel like I shouldn’t need alternating current for my hat to work properly.

Ha! I thought the thumbnail was Adam Lambert at first.

This is lovely, and also like an exercise in making your eyes edit. Double+

It looks as if W had a mandate to do an editorial with everything that had color lying about. Took me a while to settle down from all the noise in the spread and start picking out things I liked. All of the tights are cool,and I adore those peppermint Prada shoes in #7, the coat in #9 with those Chanel boots, are really, really sweet.
http://vhanna26.typepad.com Vera

It takes a while to see what’s going on, but there are some nice pieces.
http://vhanna26.typepad.com Vera

They were the first thing I noticed.

Maybe I’m a popart hag, but I love this editorial. I love the hats, especially the third picture with the Philip Treacy hat (really I love all the hats here), and I LOVE the fact that this editorial was made so much better with a good model such as Eliza Cummings. They both really make these clothes sing.
Anon

I hate W magazine.

Oi, that’s what I get for posting when I was tired. *facepalm*

Huh. That’s… loud. Not necessarily unattractive (except for the one where she’s lounging in two conflicting stripes with a plaid thing over her chest–that’s bad), but loud. She seems to have exactly the same expression in each one, like a really angry Barbie doll who a crazed child keeps re-dressing.

OH my goodness LOVE. There’s a lot going on but I LOVE IT. Definitely one of those things that bridges the gap between art and fashion.
Mirakel

Seriously? Ugh, awful…
http://profiles.google.com/laura.jane.ogorman Laura O’Gorman

Are the models male or female?
Limnadhappy

I love the total overload! The colors, styling, and setting all meld into psychedelic images. Yes, identifying each piece reminds me of ‘I Spy’ kids’ books, and none of these combinations will ever be wearable, but it’s still beautiful to take in as an image.

This is one of only three (I think) editorials that I’ve liked since they did their redesign/relaunch thing several months ago. I was starting to think they had lost it completely.

This is another editorial where I don’t care about the pieces. It’s the composition, color, and photography. The clothes are incidental.

LOVE!
Tory

My first thought was ‘Mondo after he smoked a gargantuan fatty’. Just me?
Hillary

um…a ponyskin coat? please tell me that’s not real because i will absolutely vomit if it is
Spcl K

Oh my! There are some amazing pieces here, but it’s way too much to take in all at once.

Yes, exactly! Especially the penultimate photo.
