Friends with Cameras

My good friend Becca Rodriguez just got her short film in SXSW. And the trailer looks incredible. Watch it here.

Reprise

Reprise: Philip Lim Spring/Summer 09. So on the mark. So brilliant. Underrated! He was doing the Balmain shoulder, THE pant, and oversized belt-bows! This is fashion to get excited about, not model-off-duty which is seriously oversaturated. Not to mention the petal-y, flower-y, fringy, completely impractical--completely wonderful--Louboutins.




I'm posting a lot now. Since after this week you may find me in a ditch somewhere on 40th and 6th, brought down by Chloe 7" heels (but oh, what a way to go).

Clarification: this is not because I will be attending any shows at the tents. This is because i will be running to bring copy to my boss who will be attending shows at the tents.

So incredibly sweet--nearly too much (hmm...starbucks' next big find?). It doesn't surprise me that the artist, cast, and crew of the video are Israeli. Anyone who's ever spent a reasonable time in Israel gleans that there's a specific sentimentality amidst the rough crowd, a bit cheesier, dreamier, and sweeter than anything I've come across in New York. Maybe it comes with the heightened understanding of how fleeting the moments you have with someone are. I promise I am not a Romantic; the art direction is simply brilliant. It's composed of stills.

Not reviving... just posting!

(Hedi Slimane)


OK so this is not the official revival post, but just a reservoir for all the images i've been printing and tacking over my desk. Here is a sampling.

First of all revere Emmanuelle Alt, who has been occupying a very embarassing amount of my headspace recently. Its a combination of pre-fashion week, a recent trip to Paris, and working on styling an upcoming shoot.Oh yeah, didn't you know, that's me carrying her bag...

PS (Proenza Schouler) I love your pre-fall so much it's deeply painful. Can we hang out in the berkshires?

BALENCIAGA Pre-fall. I want those pants and for everything in my wardrobe to be in those colors:
