Chanel Soho Collection: Steel & Strong

Peter Philips explains his inspiration behind Chanel's limited edition Soho Collection. The video is simple and nicely punctuated by a big band jazz song. Try Philips' tongue twister towards the end.

A little smokey inspiration. Not in the house!

Threadbare

Had to share this beautiful dress with you all! It's by Precocious, a label based in Stockholm. The designer, Gabriella Loeb, crafted the checks by pulling out each string. I could wear this anywhere....

Thanks to Six Six Sick

Lady G & Jojo

Jo Calderone graces the current issue of Vogue Japan's Homme edition. Guess who it really is...

Pretty excited Gaga is taking on alter egos. She always looks different, but this is definitely outside of her persona. Another cool Nick Knight project.

Also here's a grainy pic of Olive sleeping in my roommate's slightly open dresser drawer. What a goon.

Flower Pop

Murakami's cover for Pop magazine featuring an image of Britney Spears. I'm thinking that is a wax figure.

Beautiful Ones

My greatest apologies for not updating lately, blog friends! Went to Santa Barbara last weekend to see my old high school friend. Very fun and sunny, got me listening to a lot of Suede and Ride.



In that similar vein, allow me to show you something that I have been meaning to share. It's the Prada Fantasy Lookbook! Alexander Reichert and Fausto Frantinuoli illustrated over Phillip Meech's photography to create an interesting, disjointed collage of the fall collection. Perhaps you should play the video above while viewing...

It's a nice Monday.

INFINITY

Honestly, I try to avoid Alexander Wang and following for his trendy spells. But, almost nothing captures like a good fashion video. This is the video for his Fall 2010 Lookbook, with a dubstep remix of The XX's "Infinity" (my fave) in the background. And high powered wind machines. Yes please!

Something Girls

Miranda Kerr and Kasia Struss star in the Fall 2010 Jil Sander campaign. The shoot was captured and styled by Willy Vanderperre and Olivier Rizzo.
Jil Sander has always resonated with me. Some may over look their simplicity, but I really like the delicate balance of their designs. It takes a certain ability to make clothes look both smart and sensual.

Shut Uppp

Gargyle is a pretty cool shopping site, but their prices are a little out of reach. Right now they have a big sale going on and these Surface to Air sandals:
