Marni mania...
Colors, and textures, and baubles- oh my! I love what Marni did for Fall '09 so much that now all I can think about is trying to create my own bib necklaces! I want to run to my nearest craft store, buy up their supply of odds and ends, and just see what transpires... then I want to layer up with knits, textured tights and a statement coat, painting the town red while showing off my latest jewelry creations... Realistic? Yes. Likely? Probably not, but this is the effect Marni has on me...
Little Girl & Boy Lost...
Leave it to Vogue to create something so deliciously whimsical... In their December '09 issue, the iconic mag enlisted the aid of the great Annie Leibovitz to photograph "little girl & boy lost", a hauntingly beautiful interpretation of the Metropolitan Opera's Hansel and Gretal. I love the fantastical forest, complete with man-trees, magical dust sprinkling elves, and sharply clad fish maitre d's... plus H & G are so darling in their all white ensembles as they trek through the enchanted wood. The blending of fantasy and fashion in this photo spread brilliantly channels the innocence of youth, all the while showcasing some incredible designer duds... I'm sure the Brothers Grimm would be proud.
Seen at Kinokuniya Bookstore
If you love manga, anime, fashion or photography -or happen to be fluent in Japanese- then Kinokuniya Bookstore across from Bryant Park is a must. It has been a favorite place for me to go between shows during fashion week in the past but now that FW is moving to Lincoln Center I need to find other times to go there. I was there yesterday and saw this boy. I love how the bottom of his pants remind me of long underwear and his topknot. A look to steal.
Shadows
By the meantime these impressive photos are a little famous in the web.
They are by the Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbø and were first published in Numero 93. Even though I don’t know if Sundsbø knows the film, I discovered a big resemblance with a scene in the science fiction film “Cherry 2000” from 1987.

attack of the sequins... the sequel
Remember how it was cool to wear sequined tops and dresses a couple of years back? I do. I remember not being able to enter a store without being bombarded by sparkle... from higher end shops all the way down to Sirens (no disrespect, Sirens has served me well over the years), sequins were everywhere. As a fan of all that shimmers and sparkles, I quickly climbed aboard the sequin express and invested in a couple of tops that I wore ad nauseum. By the end of the season I grew to despise them (surprise surprise), yet somehow I couldn't quite bring myself to throw them away... and thank God I didn't! Because from Gucci, to Versace, to Balmain and beyond, sequins are back and in a big way. Every store I come across is sporting the trend, only this year sequins have gone beyond the tops and dresses of days yore to adorn blazers, leggings and accessories galore... I guess some things are simply worth a repeat performance.
