beautiful junkies.

After lasts class debate on the concept of our very own anticipated fashion show, i was inspired to somewhat create or introduce the ideas of what some of us in class were explaining. Katias vision of the "beautiful decay" was one i too considered to be a good concept. the idea of the beautiful woman, who is a complete disaster inside, is something i do find intriguing. I find it sort of glamorous, how a woman sometimes so well composed and poised outside, lives in complete debauchery on the inside. On the exterior, a beautiful woman with everything, yet with nothing inside. is this all due to their huge spotlight under the medias eye, or the constant loneliness once it's gone? or can it be the moutains of cash they sit under that gives them priviledge to burn it all on nights of complete insanity, because they just can? its a mystery on it's own, and that is the beauty of it. weither it's the partying lifestyle or the lonely house wife with a few pills or grams of her favorite knockout drug, this is an ode to everything the junkie desires. these are the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

So i have decided to come up with a few examples of the woman junkie, that will maybe clarify the vision and direction. One of my favorites, is Kimber from Nip/Tuck. She continuously struggles with vanity and her own obsessions. here is a little video of an episode, where cocaine addict kimber, binges. The music in the background is also something i find, that goes well and also can be used if the idea falls through for the fashion show.

Amongst the celebrities, i find Lindsay Lohan to also be a good candidate. There is something amusing about her damaged days of alcohol abuse and coke escapades in the bathroom. i very much like her own sense of style and i love how she always seems to draw all kinds of attention to her name.

Muse in the fashion industry, Kate Moss, is another coke binging hero who has been scrutinized for her chaotic behavior off the runway. Yet, both of these women remain popular and remain icons in their industries.

Another icon who evidently had some influence in creating the chic boho look, is Mary-Kate Olsen. with her over sized garments and vintage pieces, she has made village des valeurs seem like the trendiest place to shop. Aside her history of anorexia and drugs, this olsen twin definetly has the ability and eye to muster up all eccentric articles of clothing and accesories together.

Regardless of who makes the list, these women share a common ground, they are beautiful, sexy, raw and rich. somethings we all just envy a little, right?
