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

i heart working for i heart

so i've been interning (it sounds worse than it is, its like free business spying for fun) for jill at iheart. she is so cool, kinda my hero, creating a successful, creative thriving business with little help. she got an amazing eye for whats out there and searches out different price points for a wide variety of shoppers. she carries some of my favorite designers, eley kishimoto, lover.. and introduced me to some brand new ones like pam (perks and mini) which i spent all day fit modeling (jamming myself into a size too small, down right cute stuff) the fall line, what a job!

anyway, her on-line store should be up soon so i'll post that as asap as possible. i can't wait to open our glorious store. its going to be amazing!

ruminate.

I've been looking forward to Eley Kishimoto's new line the most lately. They always do so much with color and pattern - lovelovelove. However, I have to say that this fall line is a little dissapointing, but maybs my hopes were a little too high. Some of my favez (and I'm thinking bottom left including hat for graduation):

more fall prints.

Tibi, Temperley


Matthew Williamson, Rebecca Taylor
(my favorite shows so far, along with tibi)

The Temperley dress on top reminds me of an elongated ikat version of this.

is it spring yet? v.2
