columbo is so gender to me but i dont think i could ever look like him</3

i think it's totally possible for anyone to embody his essence. you can even manage to rock something directly inspired by columbo without looking like you're cosplaying.

hair

if you have columbo's hair type, it's actually pretty easy to emulate his styles. i even know people who show pictures of columbo to hair stylists to get his look. my partner's hair in its natural state is very similar to columbo's--dark, wavy, tending to grow in spite of gravity rather than with it. whenever he gets his hair cut, he shows the stylist photos of late 60s/pilot episode peter falk, whose look is actually pretty on-trend for the current era. it works out pretty well.

your swag may have aged well pilot columbo but you can't beat floof

failing that, getting any haircut that is natural, low-maintenance, and not too attention-grabbing captures the visual language all the same. for reference, natasha lyonne in poker face has her hair in natural-looking, messy waves that to me just exude columbo.

clothing

how you present yourself to the world is up to you, but if you want to invoke columbo, there's a lot more you can do than buy a tan raincoat.

in an era of sharply-cut, wide-lapelled constructions, fat tie tuesdays, and gucci loafers, columbo stands out as classic comfort personified.

his collar, tie, and lapels are slim, proportional, and unassuming; they'd look good in almost any era. his pants fit closely to his leg but not too wide or slim, and sit at or near the natural waist. though his suits, shirts, ties, shoes, socks, and even coats rotate, there is a consistent color palette keeping him "on model". he embraces earth tones: creams, forest greens, light browns, dark browns, stony grays, rusts, and roses. his clothing seems like an afterthought, but it's an extension of his personality--rumpled and unassuming at first, yet sharp and deliberate upon further inspection.

amid the 1970s explosion of synthetic popularity, it says something that every stitch of textile on columbo's person is natural (aside from the raincoat, which is probably nylon or poly--he wears it without a lining and uses it as essentially an oversized windbreaker). his boots are leather with crepe latex soles; his tie is silk. his shirt is cotton, a bit boxy but comfortable and properly fitted. because the construction of his suits is roomy and unstructured, and because they're made of linen, they wrinkle easily.

this is easily confused for appearing slovenly. actually, all things considered, his clothes fit him pretty damn well, it's just hard to avoid wrinkling natural fibers like linen and cotton, especially in hot weather. he's running around los angeles sweating up a storm, the man needs loose, breathable fabric.

point is, columbo dresses very thoughtfully. since these clothes are workwear for him and he works a hell of a lot, it's imperative that he factors in the weather, his comfort, and proper fit when picking clothes. he wants to like and be comfortable in them while looking unassuming. so even though he sometimes ends up looking like an unmade bed, his choices are deliberate.

you could invoke these principles in your own appearance by picking earthy colors/jewel tones and comfortable, natural fabrics that you enjoy wearing, which has the added benefit of being better for you and the environment. consider also taking a few garments in to be altered. it's usually not that expensive, supports your local needlefolk, and makes even cheap clothes fit great.

as a last little aside, i think having a "signature" clothing item akin to columbo's raincoat would be a nice touch. a jacket, a pair of shoes, even a watch or necklace. something you always wear. if you really do want a raincoat like his, just make sure you're not buying a trench coat, because, repeat after me: columbo does not wear a trench coat.

Behold, friends! Look upon my new acquisition with envy! 5 meters of handwoven silk, a recreation of historical Vietnamese textiles made by Vietnamese artisans. The project was organized by La Quoc Bao (barolaw on instagram) and after many, many complications and a year and a half of waiting, I finally have this in my hands.

It is unlike any modern silk textile I’ve ever handled. It is most similar to Indian handwoven silks of similar weight, but the drape is more fluid and the weave has more texture. It’s not slippery like habotai or charmeuse, not crisp like taffeta or organza, nor is it pebbly and bouncy like crepe de chine. The shine is subtle and it’s lightweight but not see-through.

#pancake talks textiles #obviously i have to make an ao dai #but i have enough to make a few different things

Paul Poiret & Raoul Dufy

Circa 1925 / 1926 - Bianchini-Ferier

Magnificent “Amphitrite” evening cape in gold laminated shaped silk crepe, plain, fringed finishes.

Main pattern dimensions: approximately 160 x 170cm

Length of fringes: approximately 42cm

Bibliography: Variation of the model exhibited at the Kyoto Costume Institute (n°AC9362 96-24-1)

Variation of the model in the book “Raoul Dufy L’oeuvre en Soie”, by Anne Tourlonias & Jack Vidal, published by Barthelemy - Avignon 1998, pages n°84-85:

“In 1925, with the Amphitrite paperback shawl, it goes more far into impertinence. Madame Poiret de Wilde: “I remember the day, probably a Thursday morning, when Charles Bianchini came to present to my father the collection which included the pink and gold naiads shawl on a brown background. I was about twelve years old and my taste was not mature either: accustomed as I was to seeing slender women, I had been shocked by these fat, naked, plump, buttocked bathers and found no favor in them. . “” “We dreamed of dazzling curtains and dresses decorated in the style of Botticelli. Without measuring my sacrifice, I gave Dufy, who was then just starting out in life, the means to make some of your dreams come true. Paul Poiret - Raoul Dufy's engravings quickly caught the eye of fashion designer Paul Poiret, who, seduced by the artist's decorative universe, offered to create fabrics for his fashion house.

In 1910, they therefore created a fabric printing workshop which they named "La Petite Usine", in which Dufy drew the patterns, engraved the wood used for printing, studied the necessary chemical techniques and sometimes went as far as print itself.

It was in 1912 that the Lyon silk firm Bianchini-Férier offered a contract to Raoul Dufy, so that he could produce textile prints for them, in complete freedom. Raoul Dufy continued his creations for both Paul Poiret and Bianchini-Ferier until 1928. » What echoes does this exciting period of my life awaken in me! Thanks to Poiret and Bianchini-Férier I was able to realize this relationship between art and decoration, above all to show that decoration and painting are quenched at the same source.” Raoul Dufy

Twisted Wonderland server JPN event "Tamansha Muina in Sunset Meadow" Story 02(1/?)

•Everyone enjoying the culinary food in Sunset Savanna's market. First they try is a charcoal- grilled dish of chunks of mutton placed on a metal plate. Similar with a spice grilled meat. This is Leona's favorite dish.

•Kifaji told them to try mangoes juice, unfortunately the fruit is sold out. But they fruit seller tell them to try passion fruit when Lilia ask for recommendations.

•Grim surprise see a fruit is size as Grim, Jackfruit. Leona says it's the biggest fruit among other fruits in around the world. Since Grim wanted to try it, Leona bought for him. Everyone shocks Grim eat a whole the jackfruit by himself.

•Next up, they try eat Steam Banana. Same like we cook steam potatoes. Mixed with wheat and rice for flavor. Last, the dishes of crepe made of rice along sauce like curry, Chili, veggies, and meat as for add topping. Same like we eat "Channa" and "Injera".

•Kifaji escort them to souvenir place, there's a lot accessories with gemstones, from cheap to high price. As for Leona, he still thinks all gems in here are normal like regular gems. Suddenly he and Kifaji little argue on discussion mine's stones. But for Vil and Lilia is kinda rare to see them like that. But Kalim suddenly want to buy those souvenir to whole dorm of Scarabia students.

•Lilia still find a perfect souvenir for Malleus, Sebek, and Silver. Lilia worried if he pick a souvenir that same like last year, he did try his best to pick a perfect gift for those three.

•MC and Grim also looking for souvenir, Kiraji recommended them a hanging fabric textile art, art of symbol Simba when Simba as cub lion. "By valuing nature very much and avoiding the mining of underground resources and large- scale farming and industrialization,Handmade textiles have developed into an important industry." say Leona.

•Kifaji did help MC and Grim recommended to buy souvenir, a traditional rug. But it's really expensive. Can't help it, Leona told MC and Grim to buy a hammock bed for Grim. As for MC, Leona recommended for MC a tapestry, Leona knows a fit for MC is something decoration for room's wall. Also knows MC is interested the statue fountain of baby Simba too.

•Leona did tell MC about The story of Simba when he bought tapestry and hammock bed for both of them. MC thank to Leona, causing Leona chuckles. He didn't mind if MC ask for recommendations from him although he's too pride when MC praise him.

Evening ensemble, ca. 1890s

From @fidmmuseum - "This extremely rare, formal evening ensemble was custom made and is likely the unique creation of a French or English couture house. It features an asymmetrical himation—a diagonally draped mantle worn by Greco-Roman men and women millennia ago. Hand painted field-lilies meander over the supple silk crepe, embroidered with a classical Greek key motif in glistening silver bouillion. Hand-blown mercury-lined glass beads cascade down the diaphanous chiffon undergown that falls unimpeded from bosom to hem over a flesh-colored lining. The lightweight textiles rippled around the body in movement, molding to the wearer's statuesque contours in emulation of sculpted cloth in Hellenic statuary."

Evening coats are largely a lost garment for many of us. I think some people would think such items a luxurious indulgence, but the Dress Doctors urge even the college woman on a budget to make herself a simple cape to wear for evenings only.

This one has the tubular 1920s shape, which is not my favorite silhouette, but it also has an intriguing technique and one while worth borrowing: elaborate lace over solid-colored silk, and the solid silk is then the inside of the collar and shows up as a tie as well. Think of all the different color harmonies and contrasts, and your mind will be humming.

This was part of a sale at Augusta Auctions, a house which specializes in vintage fashion and textiles.

#TwoForTuesday + #TextileTuesday :

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston display

1 Gift cover (fukusa)

Japan, Meiji era, late 19th - early 20th c.

Silk satin embroidered w/silk & metallic threads

“For several centuries, silk covers or fukusa were draped over gifts to be presented on lacquer trays during weddings and other special ceremonies. The embroidered image of a parrot on a perch with feeder suspended by tasseled red cords on this fukusa was appropriate for an art form known for its depiction of the natural world. Lightly padded and backed with red crepe fabric brought to the front to frame the central image, it was designed to fall softly over a gift beneath with its gilt tassels slightly weighting each corner.”

2 Oscar de la Renta (American, b. Dominican Republic, 1932-2014)

Woman's ensemble in 3 parts, 1980s

“Born Óscar Arístides Renta Fiallo in Santo Domingo, de la Renta was a renowned American couturier and ready-to-wear designer. Trained by the great Cristobal Balenciaga (1895-1972), he rose to international acclaim in the 1960s and dressed numerous American first ladies, from Jacqueline Kennedy to Michelle Obama. From power suits to couture gowns, de la Renta often used a variety of birds in his designs, as an intricate embroidery, a romantic textile design, or an oversized applique.

This ensemble was designed for the boldest of women and speaks to his passion for vibrant colors inspired by Spanish and Caribbean cultures and landscapes.”

A Beginner's Guide To Japanese Streetwear

Harajuku influences

Harajuku is a district in Tokyo, Japan, located just outside of the Meiji Shrine park. It is the birthplace of many fashion trends, including the gothic Lolita style and the famous cosplay styles that would later gain popularity in the United States. Harajuku is also home to hip-hop stores and youth culture centers such as Kawaii Monster Cafe and H.P. Lovecraft Cafe.

A stroll down Takeshita Street—the main drag of Harajuku—is like a tour through Japanese pop culture history: you'll inevitably pass by colorful crepe shops and boutiques selling everything from brightly colored socks to vintage sneakers to preppy school uniforms to all manner of fashion accessories that can't be found anywhere else in the world. Harajuku is one of only two places on Earth where you can find original designs from major streetwear brands like A Bathing Ape (BAPE) and UNDERCOVER; it's also where some of Japan's most influential designers got their start, like Junko Shimada and Junya Watanabe.

Tokyo influences

Tokyo, Japan, is one of the most populous cities in the world. It has a vibrant nightlife with many bars, clubs and restaurants, and is also known for its fashion scene and its streetwear culture. Tokyo is home to many Japanese streetwear brands such as Neighborhood, A Bathing Ape (Bape), Undercover, WTAPS and Mastermind Japan. By applying the fashion insights from this article, Here is a wonderful store to visit https://japanesejacket.com/

Yokohama influences

One of the first Japanese cities to have a Western-style train station and harbor, Yokohama drew a large number of European sailors and immigrants in the late 1800s. The style of Yokohama streetwear is an amalgamation of these influences, blending American hip hop styles with traditional elements from China, Europe and Japan. The looks you'll see on the streets are as eclectic as they come; you're just as likely to see someone clad in colorful sneakers or high-top shoes from mainland Japan or traditional Chinese jackets as you are to spot someone wearing a kimono or a French beret.

Nagoya influences

Nagoya, the fourth-largest city in Japan, is home to a thriving streetwear scene. Despite its size and location (it's in the center of Japan), Nagoya is often overlooked by other fashion hubs like Tokyo and Osaka. However, its unique style hasn't gone unnoticed by locals or visitors alike—especially those with an interest in streetwear.

As you might expect for a city that's relatively close to Tokyo, Nagoya's streetwear scene is influenced by both international and Japanese brands. Some of these include Gosha Rubchinskiy and NEIGHBORHOOD, as well as local brands such as Red Cardigan Store and BOUNTY HUNTER. Other influences are more regional; for example, Nagoya has a long history of creating unique textiles through the weaving of golden brocade called kinran. This fabric is still used today to make some of the most popular souvenirs from the area: kimonos with patterns depicting beautiful flowers that can be worn all year round (unlike most traditional kimonos). The city also has an affinity for chirimen textiles, which are made using fine crepe silk—the type often seen on vintage purses or wallets imported internationally because they're so durable against wear!

japan has a unique streetwear scene

If you haven’t noticed, Japanese streetwear is on the global rise. American rap artists are increasingly wearing Japanese brands on the red carpet, and the craze has even infiltrated the silver screen, with streetwear references in Bao Nguyen’s 2018 documentary film *Fresh Off The Boat*. But despite its recent surge in popularity worldwide, Japanese fashion has a long and storied history of trends and innovation.

Japan’s fashion lineage can be traced all the way back to traditional kimonos and samurai armor. To this day, some garments retain their roots in ancient styles—the hakama trouser is still worn by practitioners of kendo and ikebana today! But as Japan was exposed to Western influences in the late 19th century with the Meiji Restoration, new clothing styles became popular with modern-minded young people at first. Over time these ideas trickled down into regular wear before becoming staples of everyday life.

So excited I just picked my order from a local (sustainable!) Fabric store. They essentially get textile waste from larger companies like Lululemon and sell them at discount rates. The green crepe is for an upcoming dress that I'm super excited to start work on, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the paisley yet... I was thinking a skirt (I only have 1.6 meters of it) but suggestions are welcome!

Invested in some flax textiles, had some crepes with jam, bought some coffee substitute (25% toasted barley, chicory, dandelion root and coffee each) and saw history in motion (including the family tractor).
