Love this behind the scenes video of Proenza Schouler’s Fall campaign, reminds me of back to school campaigns in the 80′s but in the best possible way. Much more compelling than the ads themselves. Love the music by Washed Out too!

So awesome. I can’t understand every word but I love seeing inside his old home.

How have I never seen this!? So many things I love all in one.. Fleet Foxes, paper, triangles..!

Our friends Fool’s Gold played an amazing show in Paris last night. Once again the crowd sang the last song for about 10 minutes after they left the stage trying to get them to come back and play one more. If you haven’t heard this LA band yet check them out they’re amazing!

For the next month at Le Bon Marché a new collection of my flag necklaces and pins will be for sale as part of L’Esprit Factory, a space filled with temporary freight container boutiques by 0fr, ACNE, Surface to Air, Kitsune + more! So exciting! If you are in Paris and want to check it out there will be an opening there on the 1st. There is even a film of vignettes made by David + Alex, where you can see some of the things I’ve been working on in my studio, along with other artists and designers whose creations are featured in the 0fr Esprit Factory shop.

0fr Boutique at Le Bon Marché, opening!

Reminds me of Eames films. merci lili!

Phoenix – 1901 – A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

I love these take away concerts, the way that they capture the spirit of a moment while a band wanders through the city, and there is something particularly nice about this one being a band that sells out stadiums still being able to play outside near the eiffel tower, and still capturing that same spirit.
Being sick all week has been terrible! I’ll be back soon with new items in the shop.

More California Nostalgie, I just saw Girls play last week, or was it the week before? I can’t keep track of the days anymore. Paris has been a bit of a hazy whirlwind, in a good way. Anyway, this band is awesome, and this is their new video.

Ce soir à Paris, Two Bunnies in Love à Les Disquaires.
David took this video when we saw them play at a party recently. So good!

Some photos from Mark Borthwick at Iko Iko in LA. A very cool shop full of so many interesting pieces it’s really worth checking out, and such a great intimate space to see him perform.

Mark Borthwick comes to Echo Park??! This is crazy. I can’t wait. IKO IKO is a relatively new shop in Echo Park that so far has had so many fun events it’s crazy, ikebana classes, felting workshops, art shows and more. Owner Kristin Dickson, from the line Rowena Sartin, seems to have curated quite a special place here, which I’ve been meaning to make it over to to check out but haven’t been home in one place so long. Looks great though. She was also sweet enough to send me over a little beautifully wrapped gift complete with a note handwritten on old floral wallpaper. amazing! I am really looking forward to checking out the shop and seeing this performance.

I’m off for the weekend! I like to imagine that he never dresses any other way off stage, and can break into song at any moment.. whether it be “chubby little fat man..” or “let’s dance”
