The Ecstatic

Mos Def has been mixing with rock and all sorts of hip hop artists for his new record. I could see myself getting in to this song, in particular...

Ride around shining

This makes me so happy. It seems so frivolous and daring to bike around in a kimono and heels. I don't know if I would if I could...I'm not always so graceful. I'd love to prendre un café avec cette femme. Bet you she's a bit craazy.

Fun Nun

Oh be damned....got such a kick out of this salacious editorial featuring such beautiful, crown-jewel status flare. The pink lips and coral nails make this shoot feel so 80s to me. But the jewels well be en mode forever.

I'm staying in tonight after spending a day in this sleety-madness filming an NYU thesis film. We're all so new at the game, using all this professional equipment and terminology... I think it made everyone especially polite and thankful for good, focused work. A 'tude free day in terrible weather making a movie... I felt lucky!

Gotta keep track of this

Trousers Corset

Same piece, two spreads:

 This  “Couture Report”, photographed by Mark Pillai, struts this season's prime couture with shots ranging from Medieval Queen Mab to black and white prints that remind me of Richard Avedon. Meanwhile, Sølve Sundsbø, in Japanese Vogue, went for a swimming night-scape where the model, Cameron Russell, seems to be disappearing into the motion going on around her. Same corset, though. I don't like it because it's shape seems ill-fitting and it reminds me of a decorative swastika, but I love both shoots.
