I have to finally admit this openly: I am so ridiculously excited that Thakoon was pegged as the next designer for Target’s Go Collection. I try not to get too ridiculously wrapped up in the fashion obsession that I could potentially develop, but oh man, when I saw his Fall ’08 show back in the spring, I fell in love. First of all he is adorable:
I saw Anna Wintour for the first time at his show (almost bumped into her backstage actually when she was talking to Thakoon), he is eco-friendly – known to be seen sipping out of Sigg reusable water bottles and used environmentally-friendly hair products for the show, and every single design was ephemerally beautiful. I’m just crossing my fingers his designs will look anything like the designs I saw that day.
And not like the Spring/Summer Ready-to-Wear 2009 collection that just showed this past week…. Not a fan.

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008
Today we got a new lookbook in at NYLON for designer Carissa Ackerman’s clothing company Mandate of Heaven‘s 2008 collection entitled American Dreamers. I had to find a fun way to photograph the book for the website so I took it outside to enjoy the sunshine and natural lighting. I tried 3 different setups, but ultimately the ivy option displayed above won. Click on it to see the page, or check out my flickr album and let me know which one you would’ve picked instead!
