Obsessed with this new track called “Genesis” from Grimes. Canadian Claire Boucher’s upcoming third solo album as Grimes Visions came out yesterday in the US and will be out on March 12th in Europe. Check out the video for “Vanessa,” another radical tracks I love off the Grimes/d’Eon split EP that she put out last year, below… Continue reading
There is a reason why we are all obsessed with Mad Men, myself inlcuded. Let’s be honest, our world has lost just a little of the refinement that used to make it special and I for one will not argue with anyone who wants to reign in the chaos a tad and bring back some old school manners and charm. That said, there are a slew of smart brands that are happily singing the gospel of nostalgia by launching collections inspired by Mad Men. Estée Lauder is the latest with gilded compacts and Continue reading
Alexander McQueen (Sarah Burton) did their first runway show for the McQ line which is gorgeous. I love the tinges of inspiration from the motherland. And speaking of today’s ongoing theme of well dressed men, my man would definitely wear McQ… Continue reading
A few years ago while I was working as Fashion Editor for WWD a young designer named Sara Shepherd emailed me with a lookbook from her 2nd collection. I went crazy over it. Loved it and started shooting it for WWD every chance I got which resulted in two covers, a ton of other styling opportunities for me to use her designs and a lifetime (I hope) friendship and working relationship with someone I adore, admire and respect. She went to London’s famed Central St. Martin’s and for the past few years has worked out of San Francisco. I love Sara’s tailoring and cuts and her feel for the hard and soft edges which match my own aesthetic. These are a few shots from her Fall 2012 collection which she asked me to photograph.

I don’t think I post enough about men’s fashion which I LOVE. I hate to admit it but yes, sometimes I judge a man by his clothes and we know shoes tell most of the story so if he were wearing some Barker Black shoes I would probably assume a lot of good things about him. Luckily they have stores in my two favorite cities which I call home, NY & LA. More shoes for my dream man below (where is my punk rock prince in a suit with gorgeous sleeves underneath anyway)?

I can’t even remember the last time Christopher Bailey got it wrong (has he ever??) so it goes without saying that the Burberry Prorsum fall 2012 collection is killer. More below… Continue reading

I can not get enough of the navy & blue thing. Seriously obsessed. And to think blue was my least favorite color when I was young (I preferred black and green, no sure what that means). So in order to keep obsessively looking at anything and everything blue I’ve pulled together some of Spring’s bluest hues. Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 runway to the left and Spring sampling below including awesome shades of blue from Chanel beauty along with Manolo Blahnik heels, J Crew striped sweater, Prada tote bag, Paul Smith blazer, Miu Miu dress and Chan Luu cashmere scarf. Oh and this amazing looking blue perfume bottle I am dying over! Continue reading
Cindy Sherman is having a huge retrospective at MOMA that is up (thank goodness) through June 2012 because I am SO bummed to miss it this weekend! It doesn’t open until February 26th and members previews don’t start until the 21st. The image above is from her infamous series of Untitled Film Stills which she did in the late 70’s. MOMA is also screening a selection of films that have influenced her (Carte Blanche: Cindy Sherman April 2nd thru 10th) which includes Maya Deren’s Meshes of The Afternoon, an old Bard film department favorite. That film was one of the first things I saw freshman year at Bard. The complete 1943 short is below… Continue reading
Oscar always makes the ladies proud… I LOVED the whole collection! It’s amazing to me how he can create so much pretty stuff for ladies of all ages. Seriously, he keeps his older customers loyal and happy and somehow manages to bring a modern Milly youth vibe every season. More drool worthy Oscar gowns from Oscar de la Renta below… Continue reading
