This Is Geometry

Whenever I write about label Complex Geometries I always mention that the reason their clothes look so appealing is that I imagined you could twist and turn them and play with them to create different shapes.

I was completely delighted when last week the designer from Complex Geometries emailed me to say he'd love to send me something. So a week later a parcel arrived and inside was an oversized t-shirt dress from the SS09 collection...and a perfect garment for me to spend hours playing with.

The design itself is intriguing, with the actual armholes at the back like a vest, but with fake armholes on the front which join together in a vaguely bondage style.

 

So I set about playing with it and seeing what interesting ways of wearing it I could come up with.

In conclusion - it's the perfect play piece! I shall be getting extreme amounts of wear out of this.

How ace! I'd love to see it from the back - the double armhole thing sounds so intriguing.

[Rike]

i really, really love the last picture!!!

[Frankie - Swell Vintage]

You're so inventive! This is genius x

[Ashe Mischief]

It looks so cozy and comfortable-- and you can create the best looks out of it! Amazing.

You have the sweetest, shyest smile in the third picture.

Last picture: Aphrodite turned up to a very hip party. (And I say that in a good way).

[Shini]

Love the last pic. Something like this is WAY too challenging for me though!

[Shini]

woah genius, love how the last combination looks like!!

[labradooodle]

i like the last one! the belt looks great with it. i fear the first three might be are bordering on "mental-patient chic".

[tor (fabfrocks)]

The fourth picture is amazing, what a fab dress! Who knew that something so scary on the hanger could look so amazing on!?

[Queen Michelle]

Who says "mental patient chic" is a bad thing?!
'Bag Lady Chic' has been done and is now perfectly acceptable, so perhaps Mental Patient Chic is the way forward. Obviously not what you were hoping to hear but inspiration comes from unlikely places!

Hello, I'm thinking of buying the "black strap tank t dress" from complex geometries, but I am not sure of the sizing.
What is the size of your shirt? Or if its onesize, is it very roomy?
Thank you!!!
Greetings from Germany, Sophia

what an amazing garment! I like the last interpretation best of all. And those leggings-I can't get over them. I dream about owning a pair as fierce as them...:)

[Alicia/InstantVintage]

That is an awesome piece. Have fun with it!

[Chic Looks]

I'm all for mental patient chic..haha!! the last look is fantastic and you have such a lovely smile. I like the fact that it can be transformed into so many looks.

[IQV]

this piece has an ambiguous shape which makes even more delicious and covetable. have you tried using some part of it as a hoodie?

[nikkimoose]

killlllllllllling it <3

[SOS!]

I love that dress, you can get very creative with it!

xx- LJ from SOS!

[Maya]

Third and fourth pictures - great! I'm sure that that's not the end of the possibilities.

[kansas]

[yellowshoe.blogg.se]

[Tigerlily]

I'm not sure if your a Tori Amos fan, but the last picture looks like her character Pip, from her American Doll Posse album. Very cool

[fauxfauxreal]

I love clothes that you can wear in multiple ways. Thanks for introducing me to this brand. I'll have to get something from them next time I want to treat myself. :-)

[fauxfauxreal]

oh, btw, what size are you wearing?

[Queen Michelle]

I'm wearing a size small, but it's meant to be roomy and the jersey is semi sheer so it's nice and fine and not at all bulky

[fashionchronicles]

woww!!!!
looks fabulous in every way!!!
looove the first and the last!!!
cool blog!
:)

[enc]

Brilliant looks, all! I think that one will pop up in many a future post.

How lovely of the designer to send you a freebie!
