Some illustrations I did recently.

This is amazing! As much as I love flipping through a real book, an online version is pretty nice to have too. This new edition of Paris Interiors by Taschen features a peak into the homes of Carine Roitfeld (top image), Rick Owens (2nd image), Ann Valerie Hash + more.

It’s almost September. A collage of my inspiration for Fall 08.. so many things I wish to be wearing.

Images from Self Service, Sonny’s Photos, Phyllis, Refinery 29, Bunny Bisous, Baby Baby magazine + other places..

one of many late night little projects. made by david + me for our dogwalker.

The ever amazing Band of Outsiders is showing their playful side with a new shop in shop set up in Opening Ceremony in LA made entirely of legos. Who doesn’t love legos? I still have mine somewhere in California. I can’t wait to see the shop in person when I go to LA in a couple weeks. Speaking of legos this video is hillarious. Also check out the Band of Outsiders playwell site here.

Years ago in school, I took a fashion + technology class and while I quickly discovered I was not very interested in combining technology with fashion, I made the most of the final project by creating the dress pictured above that would draw the movements of the wearer organically. Sadly these are the only 2 images I have, other than an equally blurry video.

Fiberglass panels fused with semi-transparent paper made a (very much Hussein Chalayan inspired) dress, that used colored pencil tipped tree branches to support the panels and give the dress its form. The wearers movements/motions were recorded by the colored pencil tips which drew on the undersides of the garments panels, visible on the outside of the dress due to the transparency of the panels. I still really like the idea of physically capturing movement and especially liked involving nature in this “technological” process.

A few months back I came across this artist Tim Knowles and loved that one of his projects involved similar ideas, but instead it was actual living trees that were doing paintings based on wind movements, pictured above.

In the gleaming light of a greenhouse, dressed in dreamy dresses. Rather than see it as a sort of bell jar, it looks more like an amazingly fashionable botany school to me.

Taking another night off this week. David is finally back home from Canada with loads of amazing photos. I’m sure his blog will be full of brilliant things next week.

I am so ready for Fall fashion to begin, the weather has been teasing lately. Today it was cool and rainy, but everytime I attempted to put on a sweater and go back outside it would warm up.

Swedish design team JANTZE BROGÅRD ASSHOFF created this cute and functional Greenhouse wastepaper basket prototype, and someone better agree to produce this trash can soon because I want to buy it! It’s simplicity is genius.

A gloomy day like today gets me starting to think about fall. Images from The Blow Up.

i love that devastee t-shirt.

Yay! Back to her beautiful menswear inspired clothes that I love her for!

I have received several emails about people having trouble leaving comments. I don’t know why this is exactly but I often have that problem on other sites. I love hearing everyone’s comments though, so please keep on commenting. I had to set it up so people register because I was getting 50 spam comments a day and that was getting to be too much to filter out.

Isn’t that a beautiful matress? I’ve never seen a pretty floral print on a matress before. Those shoes look like the triple strap Chloe heels, I was on the hunt for the flat version of for so long in my size and sadly never found. This ad reminds me of Bridgitte Bardot in Contempt, perhaps that was Karl’s intetnion, he is a clever one. I REALLY want to see this documentary on him as a child! How bizarre to think he was once a child, being older just seems to be his most natural state.

I wish I had more opportunities to dress up in fancier attire, I have so many dresses that just sit in the closet..wish I could wear them much more often without it being weird, “the way I saw it, the problem wasn’t my outfit, but my context…” -David Sedaris, from his new book When You Are Engulfed in Flames

a new collection from Sabrina Dehoff.

..didn’t need yet another magazine to remind me of how badly I want to go there, great outfits in beautiful places.

Tuesday night I went to a party at Assembly and discovered Chronicles of Never. Only mens pieces were there, but they looked great, really nice shoes, too crowded to take my own photos.. clothing images are via Refinery 29 If you haven’t been to Greg’s store yet, it’s amazing, full of great vintage and new mens clothes and there’s plenty that I would even wear, so it’s not really just all for guys.
