"Kitsch pretends to demand nothing of its customers except their money -- not even their time" - Clement Greenberg
I have always been a huge fan of kitsch, especially in fashion. It's no surprise that the run-way seems to have more and more garments that influence the argument of tacky versus tasteful!?
This summer nothing seems bigger with anything from candy coloured dresses to elaborate jewellery gracing the shelves. Accessorize have a huge selection of cute pendants I intend to pick up on tomorrows trip into town :)
With designers such as Emma Bell presenting creations worthy to those with a passion for fashion.. anddd food, its no surprise her brand has recieved international press in publications such as 'Dazed and Confused,' 'Cosmopolitan' and The Daily Mirror.
* SUGAR RUSH * CANDY LAND *
Jean Charles de Castelbajac is my favourite kitsch designer with his many overstated garments that portray such outrageous creations. This season block colour is everywhere..
Celebs have certainly been rocking this look, Katie Perry being no exception..
Because life's too short to blend in..
