Designer Discovery: Kermit Tesoro

[images 1-3 via au courant daily; image 4 via designboom]

Wowza! Who is this guy? Until a few days ago, the only Kermit I was familiar with was of the fuzzy green variety.

This young Filipino designer recently showed his Holiday 2010 collection in his home country, and it's quite reminiscent of McQueen - avant garde to say the least. And something about those skull heels reminds me a bit of the Rodarte/Nicholas Kirkwood collaboration.

I can't seem to find a Tesoro website, but I just friended him on Facebook. Think he'll accept?

    OK, I get the shoes. But the rest is pure theater. Not my cuppa.

    Oh lord. This is scary and fun in all the best possible ways. Love that toothpick-looking skirt. Maybe I'll replicate it. :-D

    Btw, thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. I like yours too. Subscribed. :-D

    Wow, know what I just realized? "Tesoro" means "treasure" in Spanish. Indeed a treasure. :-D

    Thanks, Amandalee! Never would have known about Tesoro. (I was the silly kid that took French - totally useless.)

    OMFG!! That's quite the collection! It kinda reminds me of something a Tim Burton character might choose wear... Great post!
