To continue the 'Out of Context' theme of today's posts.... and to do a complete schizo 180 from tasteful 40's influenced coats to.... um.... well.... behold this Just Cavalli jacket which I spied in the new issue of Elle UK.  Of course this passed me by when the SS08 shows were going on because I do tend to strike off Roberto Cavalli and Just Cavalli from my 'Catwalking Pics-check out' list.  Sorry, I've just never been a fan of the rather orange faced Cavalli (tangerine or clementine?) and whilst I'm all about being open minded, there's only so much one can be enthusiastic about.

Well I'll just slap myself for that because looking at this jacket, and trust me, it's not because it's being aided by the strange pairing of it with an Avsh Alom Gur dress and plaited hair nor is the background helping it along.... I am purely just looking at the jacket... the strong lines, the block colours, the wicked shapes they're all creating... oh crap, I'm actually....quite liking it?!?

Now I know it's my love of the the ever present 'WTF' factor that is making me like this.  I'm also thinking of cliched phrases such as 'it's so wrong, it's right', only you can cross out the first word and replace it with 'messed-up/tacky/loud' and the second word with 'brilliant/fantastic/hilarious'.  Lots of joyful words there....

I'm just reaaaally thinking and this could be the Friday High Feeling, that this jacket with the right bit of toning down or 'effed-up' messy outfits (whichever way you prefer...), it's actually quite a nifty statement piece...

So conclusion.... there just aren't that many designers for me to pour hate on, and seeing as this blog was never about pouring hate, that makes it a pretty easy job for me.
