Marisa Howard of the jewelry line SeaworthyPDX asked me to make her a special version of the Popomomo tippi dress for her wedding (we did it in a cream cupro), and she just sent pictures! She looks beautiful (great shoe choice!) and the whole party looks great.
Check out her simple and elegant jewelry line here; some of my favorites are below.
and so of course there’s all these cute pictures of Greta Gerwig wearing Band of Outsiders on the internet.
My first inkling of the power of a model was inspired by Kristen McMenamy’s Vogue cover from April of 1995.
I remember thinking, “she’s not very pretty, why is she on the cover of Vogue?” But I thought about that picture a lot. Within a week it was on my wall…and I thought she was the most interesting model out there. When I went to Europe with my family that summer I bought a pink strappy dress because it had the ‘same’ butterfly print: so she sold me my first knock off as well.
She’s continued to interest me, and I love so many of her shoots.
She’s featured on Style.com today.
Dolce and Gabbana’s Spring 2013 collection is fun and quirky on the runway,
lush and gorgeous in ads
and then looks so great on the red carpet…(and yes, Selena Gomez is making her first appearance on this blog)
can’t wait for someone to wear one of the wicker/basket dresses, tho.
bound! I’m going to Peru in April.
I’ll be checking out Peru’s textiles, handicrafts and fashion industry…I’m so excited.
totally related to my post yesterday about the fashion industry, as well as to what I’m thinking about these days: interesting article about California designs (but not manufactured goods) being sold in China and a bit about the long term scramble to get the Chinese consumer market, here, in California Apparel News.
we’ve known that it was coming, but it’s now really here. Stone Marble is the new background for photoshoots….case in point, the (lovely) Missoni campaign.
and the print of the moment: cases in point, Slow and Steady Scarves here
and all over Alexander Wang’s first collection for Balenciaga.
my favorites from day one:
rachel comey’s leather layering
creatures of the wind piecing and layering
surprisingly, Red Valentino’s girlish Hansel and Gretel whole thing: silhouettes and presentation.
I don’t like this for me, personally, but it struck me when i saw it: and I can see a lot of mass brands looking to it for fall print or shape inspiration.
j brand’s simple leather trackpants
and norma kamali’s quilted jackets. I’ve been feeling like quilts are going to be big…but I’d rather see them monochrome or graphic than homey.
