Thakoon for Target

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

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.

Geren Ford Spring 2009 Presentation

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Last night I attended the presentation of Geren Ford‘s Spring 2009 collection for New York Fashion Week, covering model Laura (aka. Texas) backstage for all of her prep and then briefly checking out the actual presentation before dashing out. An edited batch of the photos will be posted on New York Fashion Week, covering model Laura (aka. Texas) backstage for all of her prep and then briefly checking out the actual presentation before dashing out. An edited batch of the photos will be posted on NYLONmag.com sometime today, but be sure to check out the full un-edited set on my flickr account for lots of pretty photos like these:

Tokyo Polaroids and My Polaroid Blog

Friday, August 29th, 2008

With the death of Polaroids on the horizon, more and more people seem to be becoming nostalgic for the ancient discolored little instamatic images. And I’m completely ok with that. I’ll be the first to admit I wish I’d hopped on the trend before it became campy cool to carry around an SX-70 to parties. Now I just feel like a bit of a tool doing so and instead bring mine around to places like the beach or random camping trips (images to follow someday from my current forays into the use of various slightly vintage film cameras of varying formats).

Today I stumbled across another Polaroid-focused blog that I’m now in love with and just have to share. It’s called Tokyo Polaroids and I have no idea what the rhyme or reason behind the site is since it’s all in Japanese. The only explanation I can find is the tagline up top “Five polaroids are better than four.” But I do know there are some pretty great shots on here, a lot of them involving cats oddly enough. And I can’t wait to check back on the site periodically to see what new images they update it with.



Then of course there’s My Polaroid Blog, which I already fell in love with several months ago because of her oh so pretty, dreamy images she manages to capture.



*Sigh*
So many pictures of Paris. It makes me want to go back desperately.

Let’s all be nice to each other.

I came across this image on ffffound last night. It’s titled “the nicest thing i’ve ever seen in a pub.”
