Alexander Wang PRE-FALL



Pre-fall collections are starting to pop up slowly, but the only post worthy one (so far) is Alexander Wang's collection. It features a more mature aesthetic and in a way, more work oriented clothes. All in shades of black and grey. I loved how he merged a cable knit with a finer knit in the first look, a bit reminiscent of his denim/leather jacket. The third look reminds me of this Complex Geometries piece. OH MY! The parka obsession continues; this one is ammmmazing, and it's in the most perfect shade of grey! And finally, how could you resist the dress with the cape? so cute! These were the only looks I liked, some of the other ones were a bit boring, or just plain ugly. WTF at these shoes. Normally, his collections leave me out of breath; from all the amazingness but this one was just lackluster. Hopefully he goes back to his downtown cool roots for fall!

ps. only TWO more days of school left!

tinseltree





This is Steph and I's tree for our little part of the house! Our topper is a bow I made inspired by the polka dot blouse (on the left) from Erin Wasson's collection. She used sequins instead of a polka dot print and so I used pearls as my sequins! I also made mini bows (last picture) so that the tree could fill up a bit haha. Our family tree is soo beautiful and large. oh man! im not sure if i'll post pictures though, but we did everthing today and im totally in the christmas spirit! :D

FRIDAY, I can't wait!

DAMIR DOMA






Damir Doma's aesthetic has always captivated me. His work mostly consists of black, white or grey print with bright pops of color intergrated in. He uses draping, exaggerated silhouettes, interesting details, transparency. All these design elements I can see mirrored in my own work. Oki-ni, the online retailer, has just released an archive of Doma's work and it is truly amazing. I wish i owned every piece of this collection; the shoes, the airy cardigans, the exaggerated moto jackets, the slouchy drapey hooded cape! I want it all! See it all here.
