Fashion Triple Axle
In light of the upcoming
2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics (they begin THIS Friday!!!),
New York Times Magazine recently published this great "Photo Essay" by
Ryan McGinley entitled
"The High Flyers" showing US Olympians and capturing them mid-flight in an exhilarating ski jump, or a snow-filled moment of close-up repose. Skiers, snowboarders and (my favorite) Figure Skaters. Included in this photo essay is our US Nationals Champion,
Rachael Flatt, photographed mid-turn wearing a braided/crochet design by
Rodarte.
2009 World Champion
Evan Lysacek (can't really see if it's a
Rodarte or a
Vera Wang, his current favorite) is seen from behind--in silhouette-- while he looks to be in mid-Camel Spin.
My favorite, however, is the one of
Johnny Weir. Always a risk taker when it comes to fashion, Johnny is fresh off a new
controversy involving PETA and for this NY Times Magazine photo essay, he is wearing a custom Rodarte "spiderweb" red and black yarn jumpsuit. The design is very similar to what the Pasadena, California-reared Mulleavy sisters showed for Spring 2010.
It's like her male partner-in-crime! Somehow I cannot see
Evan Lysacek in that same ensemble...but Miss Johnny: Huney, done and done!
