material concern

We found a new obsession last night at the Racked LA Urban Outfitters sale! LAS is an indie jewelry line created by Lisa and Daniel Solits and made with recycled materials. They love skulls–and so do we! Rabbit, crow, gazelle, and even sabertooth skulls all give the collection a slightly dark edge. We want. Now.

the masterminds behind it all

Designer Lisa Solits is even wearing a dress from our sister line, Curatorial by Popomomo!

Here are some better pictures of their collection…

No, not her-mes, but the greek god one…came across these via a post on Refinery today…

next time i treat myself it will be to these shoe-accessories by Garbagedress

i can’t wait to check out 10ft. Single the next time I’m in Brooklyn!

pictures ganked from here.

wish heather and i stopped by at the new community store in palm springs when we were there…well, a reason to go back or maybe get myself to west hollywood one of these days….

loving this faux-wood keyboard and mouse.

spotted on seamsters.net.

i talk about eco fabrics and green design and so does samantha pleet, the Samantha Pleet, JoAnn Berman, Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart of Vaute Couture, and Melissa Kirgan and Xing-Zhen Chung-Hilyard of Eko-Lab.

philly is funny.

there is a piazza in northern liberties which has apartments and shops and where there were murders the first week it opened: which is pretty classic philly. But also classic philly: there’s a bunch of actually cool lines and stores in the shop part of this strangeness.

I stopped by to check it out and was happy to run into my friend Jamie Dillon.

He and Nick Paparone are the minds behind Print Liberation, and did the moveon.org obama tees and several others you’ve probably seen a millon times. They have a store in the piazza filled with tees and items by them and friends.

I loved this tee by Lizzy Jansen:

also i saw this Mike Kelly toy that prominently features our friend Ahrum modeling.

which was a shock:)

Valentina Rosenthal sent some images of the collection she is working on in Germany by way of Chile…

i love the mixing…

she also forwarded info on the gray area symposium….which sounds awesome….

Gray Area proposes a series of encounters that promote intercultural dialogue within the field of contemporary jewellery and, on its first edition, this dialogue is focused in two continents: Latin America and Europe.

From April 12th to 16th 2010, the symposium Gray Area will take place in Mexico City’s Historic Center. The symposium will be complemented by a series of parallel exhibitions and events
