I've been strangely obsessed with patterns recently. I made this over two days then snapped a picture. It's a good start. I don't know if I want to do this on a larger scale.

Let’s Welcome the Architect Girl

By in Column, Well, Writing

It’s taken awhile but we’re entering a new age in fashion focused on modernism, architecture and sadly climate change. I talked to one creative director who pondered the almost ubiquitous looks strutting down fall’s runway of vests, bare arms and shortish skirts. After many seasons the spikes and armor are falling off and leaving behind maroon, burgundy and sometimes crimson in their wake – a fashion scab. Gold and red, are becoming the combined colors of the moment.

Start of Michael Bastian, Fall Fashion Week 2012

Shiny things, from bow ties and breastplates, are not just for the Blonds anymore. Marlon Gobel, sponsored by Swarovski did just that. Having handprints on your outfit might be a great way of flirting (DVF & Rodarte), but at any moment I expect Vidal Sassoon to rise to prominence and give us the five-pointed cut. Will a new version of The Factory begin and who’ll be our next Andy Warhol? Luxury is yawning ever so gracefully; trying to make it’s way back into a recognizable statement to differentiate the classes. Appliqué prints made to look like your grandmother’s couch are out.

  • The New York Times highlights Paris Show at New York Fashion Week

Trying to get used to the pace of blogging again, I haven’t been able to see as many shows as I want to. There hasn’t been a whole lot of rhyme or reason to who I’ve been popping in to see. With twitter, facebook and the web, I’m getting a great overview of everything that happens, in the warmth of my apartment.

Reconnecting with old friends and acquaintances has been a rejuvenating experience. Katya Leonovich is a Russian designer, she has the unique talent of creating clothing that transforms with photography, I’ve never seen this before. I pulled her for a shoot that didn’t quite happen and didn’t realize it was the same designer till I reviewed my recent photos. The students of Academy of Art University, continued to be on trend. This shouldn’t be a shock to anyone, when they get to obsess about fashion as much as I do, seeing the use of new fabrics and the exploration of patterns and baseball caps was true to form. Wandering out. I couldn’t help notice the New York Times now uses a Paris show to highlight their fashion app at Lincoln Center. I love McQueen. Adore him. Yet this is a telling detail.
