margiela without the man

for being the first season without martin margiela doing the designing himself, the fall 2010 collection was still very much in his spirit. the crazy fur “cages” seem like a direct evolution of previous seasons hair coats. (i seem to recall seeing something very similar at the fever ray concert last fall…) and the quirky dimensions continue – this time the house redefined the waist. so unexpected and surprisingly chic. by kv

yeh it’s just that kind of a day

this is sort of like… one of those uber fancy parties you end up in… and everyone you talk to is bitching about something or another (yes myself included). i saw it and i just had to smile. available for just $64, yet another reason to be unhappy.

turns out of course it has nothing to do with that, it was a phrase, or so i learned, that was refering to technology and how its made us all more miserable… hell, i agree lets bitch about that at least anyway. by uh

some sunshine on a cloudy day – scout & catalogue by breanna musgrove

what does one do when they are an overworked and overstressed creative professional? why, they move to the estados unidos mexicanos. usually people sleep, read, tan and possibly sip some tequila, but when you can’t help but start your own product line during your escape you know it’s in your blood. although it’s always too few and far between crossing paths, the creator of scout & catalogue is one of my favorite people, and here you can see why. you can find these hand crafted products of love at on etsy.com. by kl
