never having been a huge fan of whitney houston, i was still shocked to hear of her passing yesterday afternoon. as a child of the 90's, the bodyguard soundtrack was ubiquitous with my years in grade school. needless to say, listening to 'i have nothing' last night, for the first time in ten years, well... my eyes got a little damp.
it is uncanny how jason wu's 2012 fall ready-to-wear collection manages to invoke the futuristic wonderment and sophisticated sexuality of whitney's fantastic costumes from the 1992 blockbuster. having just debuted his latest line less than a week ago, it is an eerie coincidence to feel so much 'rachel marron' from some of these standout pieces, particularly those intricate chinoiserie-inspired patterns, and the long sleeved leather gloves in black with gold studding.
