So... I'm going to Miami in two weeks...I seriously need to get out of this town for a few days( working in retail makes you loathe human contact)...the assassin and I are jetting off.... I scheduled a much needed facial and foot soak at the Trump palace(complete with "liquid solace" a.k.a. Reisling) and found some amazing things that I cannot live without. My American Express card got a Cardio workout!
Adriana Sharpe is an artistic assassin... her artwork maybe classified as pop but it is so much more as she has cultivated her own "unperfected" style with the use of a scalpel. Her subjects (cigarette buds,mutant sized flamingos, and a cartoonish banana)lend cues to her outrageous personality and her excursions through life. Watch out for this new talent she is sure to take the art circuit by storm. Checkout her blog here
Abbey Lee has been reincarnated into a platinum blonde bohemian goddess! Yes, its true she was amazing before the chemically potent hair transformation but now she is UNSTOPPABLE. Her style is also a thing of beauty as I love the way she mixes and mashes prints and texture as if she were a bartender serving up a daily dose of style... Hats off to Ms. Abbey Lee Kershaw this post is for you!
Flipping through September French Vogue and came across this satisfyingly gritty ad for Zadig and Voltaire.... Sure Jamie and Alison have great personal style but I think it's mostly in part of the abundant amount of rock and roll cool that oozes from every surface of their beings,Olivier Zahms captured this quality threefold in this campaign!! Definitely blasting "Sonic Boom" on the way home tonight :)
The euro retail giant ZARA is now online! Sadly the consumers in the USofA cannot physically purchase items but at least the people of zara let you know what the store offers currently. The Zara Woman September lookbook is a testament to the minimalist and overall lover of simple,effortless style. I see Celine (spring'10) and Isabel Marant (fall'10) referencing,the red skinny ankle pant and camel coat (my fav look) are not only incredibly chic but a look of the unexpected...the two colors unite in a merriment that ignites the senses! Zara never dissapoints, looks like a trip to New York is in order!
I started having palpatative fits of excitement when I first saw this video, it is beyond inspiring! Her voice is intoxicating and her stage presence is undeniable! I've been trying to garner some inspiration because as of most recently nothing has really resonated with me as far as design is concerned so I figured if inspiration won't come to me, then screw it I'll chase it down, and tackle it! So that explains the current disheveled appearance of my living quarters .....my bedroom floor is littered with art history books, crumpled balls of paper, and half eaten pencils (nerves).... I've also been listening to Chopin,Bellini, and Verde',the archetypal gate keepers of the Romantic period.... New exciting collaboration with a Parisian designer is in the works.....picture this: if Chanel met Valentino had an affair and spawned a half bred Oscar de la Renta/Giorgio Armani Prive' mutant baby then that would be Sandrine's (designer) aesthetic! Can't wait to share the deets with you guys....
