The new issue, from it’s strawberry shortcake spread to everything else in there.. I’m back in love with Lula again.

Last week we went to visit The Selby in his Paris apartment in the Colette shop window. We had our portrait taken with Scout, picked up some stickers and checked out his awesome new book featuring some amazing places not shown on the blog. You can preorder it here, and check out more craziness from his week in the window here.

Here’s a peek at the Society for Rational Dress A/W 2010 Collection. I’m in love with that white belted dress! I think I wear this brand probably more than any other, it remains one of my all-time favorites.

Society for Rational Dress did a profile of me on their site!

For everyone in town during fashion week and anyone coming to visit any time soon, a Guide Paris is essential. All the best places to check out from a well trusted source, the coolest art/design/fashion bookshop and gallery in town, 0fr. The newest edition is out now and available to purchase online here.

Just one day away! I realized I never shared my blurry random photos from last season in Paris. It’s a little wrong that I’ve become more excited about what people are wearing to the shows than the clothes going down the runways but it’s really been true this season. Sighting Bill Cunningham, seeing Anna Dello Russo everywhere and meeting the Sartorialist was pretty exciting too!



At Dévastée, they were on it with the fabric braided into the model’s hair. love it!













I wish you got to see the backs of looks more often, the jackets and dresses at Kenzo flowed so beautifully from behind.

I’ve caught myself eyeing a pair of these recently, and then spotted all of these. I’m sensing some sort of revival here..

Made my night! Thank you Tracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! made by blue, this is what behind the scenes should be and more! Now I know where those beautiful magazine images of rainbows and bird silhouettes originally came from.

Reminds me of Eames films. merci lili!

been in CA, so sunny and beautiful. a little peak at something I made for the ecology center.

I LOVE these videos. Please keep them coming VB + Lou! watch the new ss10 video here.

kinda love it.

I love the subtleties and soft colors of this spread, and the lack of fear of pairing pretty with interesting. So many editorials seem so formulaic these days, take super expensive clothes from the same maybe 4 or 5 different brands, add ugly element x, then maybe some crazy hair..it gets boring fast. This spread is beautiful without a lack of character and newness. Images from Another Magazine.

Been busy working.. back soon!

I rarely post articles, but this one was super inspiring. From the newest issue of ANP Quarterly, this Rodarte interview by Aaron Rose is perhaps the most insightful and honest I’ve read about them yet. (Still waiting for the new New Yorker article to arrive!) It’s also a beautiful spread of images. If you’d like to read the article I have some bigger images here.

Although may sound nice, it definitely isn’t a good idea to just have macarons and champagne for dinner, not that I’m complaining, it was délicieux! It was not intentional but sometimes you just follow where the evening takes you. Mine started early and led me from an opening with little chairs and little kids, then a little movie screening and live music, to the first evening of a series of parties in the new André apartment space in Paris. He shared his vitamin water, champagne, and his macaron collaboration, in an André designed tin, made by a “very famous baker, do you say baker?” They are red caramel au beurre sel and they are AMAZING! The salt is particularly strong on the outside and adds a really nice contrast to the traditional caramel macaron. Since they were sitting there all night I may have gorged myself on them a bit, meanwhile so many people were wandering around this small space.. Camille Bidault Wadddington! Vanessa Bruno! Jean Touitou, Oliver Zahm (whose photographs lined the walls of the space), Irina Lazareanu… and of course André, who was a very nice host. Above are some dark and blurry photos of my “dinner”.

A couple little videos with her here and here.
merci lili!

2010 sounded so far away and yet here it is! Spring’s shows gave us a peak into a start of a new direction that is not quite there yet but hopeful all the same. While many designers played it safe with very wearable/sellable collections, some chose to not let the economy hinder their creativity and really let go, but I think it’s going to be a couple more seasons until we really start to see things change. Fashion is pretty stuck in it’s ways right now. Hopefully the start of the change will be with the magazines! Let the editorials be free from the chains of advertising!! Let there be more creativity and style!!!!!

Off to London for the Holidays! Back soon. images from Wild at Heart.

First winter in Paris.

Just checked out the new Contributor Magazine and discovered among many other great things, this behind the scenes look at a shoot Wes Anderson did for a commercial. Love that he always has his crew with him.
Unrelated to Wes, but I’m very jealous of this photo from Contributor mag.. I could go for a stack of pancakes at the Chateau right now.
