HEY GOOD LOOKING

not much to say right now.  been working like crazy to get ready to go out to show the pacific NW what's up with my trunk show.  but i had been weirdly attracted to all of these images sitting on my desktop for a while now.  seems like the common thread is saturation of color  and/or lack thereof.  i know that may not make much sense, but somehow it does it this peabrain of mine!

NIGHT TIME TROPICALS

dries van noten S/S 2012 collection was full of things that if given an unlimited black amex card i would max it out in a second.  they managed to make digital prints look fresh again.  the swing drop waist coat dresses- i would literally wear those every day if given the opportunity.  i love when fashion excites/inspires me and this collection hit all the right notes.

WHERE NO GREAT LAKE HAS GONE BEFORE

what's that you say? no, i have never been to the pacific northwest.  and i am pumped to go! i have sold my line there for years with the lovely help of  CROW & CANARY, but i have never actually seen where it ends up.  so, alas we have partnered up with two lovely shops and even lovelier people to have a little get together of sorts.  i will be at VELOCITY ART & DESIGN on thursday 10/27 in seattle and TILDE on saturday 10/29 in portland.  if you live in either of these places and have even remotely liked what i have made, come by! it will be nice to meet you! and i will have some very special limited items available for the first time for you!
i have been warned that i should put a bird on something and maybe i will!

I DON'T WANT IT

most of you know of my love of music.  you may not know that i have a music BLOG, too.  this is mostly like a giant video mixtape of what i love to listen to.  it's also where i will be posting anything about music projects that i am working on.  enjoy!

THE BRITISH ARE COMING?

i don't generally pay attention to burberry.  i think they make snappy coats and over the years have continued to get hipper and more relevant.  everyone loves a good trench! their tailoring is always top notch.  but the S/S 2012 burberry prorsum show was full of bright colors, geometric prints, african wax fabric and stripes.  it looked so new and fresh.  i really love a patterned coat and i think they did these really great.  i especially love the striped baseball style hat with giant pom.
well done!

BRAVE NEW WORLD

BRAVE NEW VOID

i loved everything about the balenciaga s/s2012 show. i loved that a lot of the looks had nothing to do with the seasons of spring and/or summer. i loved the camel, black, dalmatian print with pops of red.  i loved the shield me from the world hats.  so many things.  i hadn't had a reaction to balenciaga in a long time so, i was really pumped to see what transpired.
