Many years ago, I found an amateur blog about the clothes sent down the runway at fashion shows, as well as the inspirations for those designs. The blog was hosted on a website like Blogger or Wordpress; it wasn't a professional blog or the blog of a fashion brand, and it wasn't a Tumblr blog.
The blog had multiple posts showing fashion show ensembles inspired by anime and manga. One post in particular had masses of images from the anime film Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, which is my favourite film, as well as similar designs for Saint Laurent's Summer 2013 collection.
Then, just a week or so ago, an AI-generated 'faux anime' that poorly imitated the art style of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust was released, causing a huge controversy in both the AI and the anime communities. Out of curiosity, I decided to look for that old blog again and find the above mentioned post that compared Saint Laurent Summer 2013 to that film.
I started by Googling "vampire hunter d" and "Saint Laurent" in the one Google search. To my utter horror, I could not find that blog post, or the blog itself, anywhere. I then Googled fashion inspired by Vampire Hunter D on Blogspot and Wordpress, but again to no avail. I then rememvered that Hedi Slimane was Saint Laurent's designer at the time, so I googled him and Vampire Hunter D. I just cannot find that blog post anywhere.
I have no idea what the name of the blog or its URL were. I also don't remember what the other posts on that blog were like; the only post that I remember so well was the Vampire Hunter D post.
Could someone please find that blog and all its posts for me? Just remember: it was an amateur blog about fashion show designs; it was hosted on Blogspot, Wordpress or some very similar website; and it had a post comparing Saint Laurent Summer 2013 to Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, featuring many images from that anime film.
