i have a column in vibe called mue-singz

although not the most comprehensive look (and certainly not unbiased and not exactly properly edited), i've been compiling pictures and mental notes from fall fashion week 09 (fyi dudes who read: this really means they are showing stuff for spring 09).


1. anne of green gables and eley kishimoto fall08 (see above image) as inspiration for marc jacobs. come on people, am i right or am i right??? the kitty is just because i love you.

(above L to R)
marc jacobs - eley kishimoto spring 08
marc by marc - eley kishimoto fall 08


2. patterned tights. looooooove. cannot wait to start wearing tights (and double tights): top shop, eley kishimoto


3. prints prints and more prints. simple prints, print comboz, and subtle comboz of the two. obviously this is a duh, especially coming from me: diane von furstenwhatever, marni, luella, temperley


4. color combos, etc. still loving this electric blue but also the softer sherbert colors (mmmmmm) mixed with greyscale: temperley, alexander wang, marc by marc, rodarte. PS i totally had a paul smith picture to post but the model's hair was so greasy and yuck - as were the rest of the models' hair in the show. the really wet look is kinda gross.


5. let's be honest. i'm for defs not gonna be walking around in rodarte heels or dvf dresses anytime soon. mostly because my fall fashion to-do list includes modifying my grandma's denim jumpsuit and trying to find shoes that actually fit. most wearable: marios schwab, charlotte ronson, jaeger london, alexander wang

that just happened.

Peter and I are back from Cali vaykay and I've never had a worse case of jetlag. UNBELIEVABLE!!! As we walked to the Promenade today, I realized that coming home this time registered the fact that we live in the city.

Regarding the image above, Liv has inspired me to make digi collage of my fall wishez and personal forecast. While putting it together I found my color and silhouette choices to be kinda predictable. Turquoise? No way. Um yeah, for now its a mix of classic / fem / equine / yummy knits, though not enough opaque tights. (rachel comey, bbw, alexander wang, heidi merrick) I've already started compiling images for another and will update when I don't have a million other things to do. And I've got some things to say about NYFW spring 09 shows. Most notably, MJ meets Anne of Green Gables.

Speaking of a million things, we are almost done setting up our print shop. Just need to jam out the exposure unit and we'll be good to go!

PS: While in Sonora, I totally scored my alexander wang coat from above: a tweed menswear-inspired overcoat. With bits of color in the weave and ubiquitous 80's cat claw leather accents on the shoulders.

jus sayin'

L: Phillip Lim Fall 08 RTW

"Interesting."
That's all.



PS: Topshop in NYC

hey, BABY... you are bizarre.

I'm on my second cup of coffee, clicking through fashion blergs on nymag. The Top 100 Fab looks, which readers poll in on, totally bore me though I'm not surprised. What's super neat is that you can browse various "details" which document some of the designer's accessories. But I'm not posting to give a running commentary / walking tour of the site. Olivia and I were just ijazzing after I sent her a detail photo of marc by marc bag:



I won't post any photos, you can see for yourselves.

Stargate.
Replicant.
Jackie O.

you know why people like marc jacobs?

Takashi Murakami retrospective @ MOCA. Video snipz of MJ regarding their collab for Louis Vuitton = its whatever. I was trying to find a NYC date for the exhibition but no luck, though I did find this. Wallpaper has a tolerable slide show of the retrospective. I've never been that into Murakami's sculptural stuff and the red painting above is just not working in the space, but I'm def interested in seeing the exhib if it comes to the east coast. Its a color explosion. NEW SYNERGY.
