126 zippora // shakuhachi spring summer 11-12

I've always thought Shakuhachi were a bit amazingly crazy. I wasn't suuuch a big fan of their last collection for winter but I guess that's just what you get when you're amazingly crazy, and with that comes respect.

HOWEVER. Bigger things are on the horizon. They have toned down the wack. Shakuhachi's spring summer collection for next year has got me wanting big beaches and pool parties while still channeling the hippie girl which they do only too well. It's a bit too good to be true - inspired by famed Hollywood photographer Slim Aarons, the pieces are all very 60s and 70s. There is quite a lot in there - of course hippie, of course sheer laces, bigger than big lounge pants, a reasonably neutral palette with a bright pop of teal, and they have even delved into swimwear. I love the bodice bikini set, and those chunky diamond heels in the first photo and throughout are A-mazing! I love how carelessly Flintstones they are while still getting blingfactor high and a touch of tacky in the bestest kind of way. All of this greatness is exponentially complimented by Zippora Seven and those bright tangerine lips. This is gonna be insane.
