project story

2010-12-24T10:14:00.004-08:00

I got a bunch of girl scout patches on ebay. One pack was from 91-92 and the other from 81-83 (it smelled like mildew). I sewed them on a black sweater. The end.

which 90s subculture are you?

2010-12-24T10:00:00.004-08:00

I took a bunch of quizzes. Too many conflicting results. I got grunge, punk, s8er, riot grrl, hip hop. Also took a "are you a freak or a geek" quiz. I got "freak".

it's been awhile..

2010-11-07T14:16:00.002-08:00

I like these vibes.

varsity jacket

2010-08-15T06:16:00.005-07:00

I love varsity jackets, I ordered a leopard print one from Tucker that I will hopefully be getting in fall and I am so so excited! I want to stencil a witty saying on the back too....

2010-08-12T04:34:00.008-07:00

I feel like fashion blogging sorta lags during august, everyone just wants it to be fashion week and/or looks forward to what their wearing in fall. SO its art time! EXCITEMENT! Because art is always happening! These are some of my favorite artists:
1 is by Shepard Fairey (who does the "OBEY" propaganda type graffiti all over the city)
2 and 10 are by Ed Templeton
3, 4, 5, 8, 9 are by Steve Powers or "ESPO" which is his tag
6 and 7 are by Chris Johanson
11 and 12 are by Barry Mcgee (who's graffiti name is "Twist")
13 and 14 are by Nolan Hendrickson

The first five all grew up being punks/skateboarders/graffiti artists in the 90's and moved to new york and became artists, Nolan Hendrickson lives in nyc and recently had a show at Ramiken Crucible.

syndrome symptoms and run-ons

2010-08-06T20:08:00.009-07:00

I have Jackass (mostly Steve-O) , Z-Boys (mostly Jay Adams) and furry leopard print items obsession. Probably because I'm reading this book on psychology that talks about drug/alcohol addiction (which explains the Steve-O and Jay Adams part, also the post title...), and I ALSO learned how to (really terribly) skateboard! The leopard print thing is just cause I'm sorta an old crazy lady who ought to be wearing leopard print muumuus while drinking and making weird art projects and (leopard print) clothes for her (leopard print) cats.

menswear: plans, wishes and ruined dreams

2010-08-01T22:52:00.007-07:00

This fall I am so loving Japanese mens street style (as always) but I am also now appreciating details, like socks (CDG RTW 08) and pockets (like the 3.1 Phillip Lim blazer lined with sequins) and jewelery ect! I liked this Kate Loves Me photo with the pin in the sock and am on a quest for little knick-knacks to pin on my socks... probably not crosses...

also the Lords of Dogtown z-boys have great style. If I were to make a menswear line it would so be based off them.

These amazing mens Acne leopard print desert boots are conveniently sold out everywhere. ef!

I'm feeling these looks for fall, sorta japanese street style pirate-y

sheer boredom --> I made a Zine

2010-07-24T19:49:00.010-07:00

Making a Zine was a very nice experience! It was actually very similar to blogging because I just thought about each page as a blog post, just more cutting and gluing...

Its also backwards in the pictures AND not in order.. I don't have a scanner...

BUT anyway, I recommend Zine-making, or whatever it is that I did, Zines are a 90's thing and I was a small child then so I really don't know!

3.1 RST 11

2010-07-24T19:21:00.006-07:00

3.1 Phillip Lim RST 2011, inspired by Bianca Jagger

Phillip Lim is one of my favorite designers, and this is one of my favorite collections. Every collection he designs works as an entire wardrobe, unlike say, Lanvin. He didn't do something extravagant for resort, he made clothes that one can wear any time (although he did not make pajamas) AND each piece can be mixed and create tons of different looks. Although the looks aren't "timeless", one could have just this collection and look extremely stylish ALL the time.

Last night I got back from London where I was doing an internship with Topshop. I worked with the "Casual Design" team, mostly with the Kate Moss section. The whole experience was wonderful but I am exhausted. Anyways, right now I really enjoy Japanese street style and just generally the 90's...

Chloe Sevigny fur Opening Ceremony

2010-06-10T17:51:00.005-07:00

Thank goodness an actress/model/style icon can finally make a decent collection! Usually models are really good at being pretty, tall and thin and that's great! They should stick with doing that because, for the most part, designing turns out reeeally bad. For example, Erin Wasson x RVCA was HORRIBLE! But I reaaally enjoyed this collection by Chloe Sevigny, I love the silk baseball jacket and I am suchhh a sucker for anything cheetah print. The leather pants and boots look like something Jane Lane would wear so I completely approve... I'm not a huge fan of the tights just because white tights bother me but other than that I like this collection vuuury much.

The Importance of Styling... and if you wear wildfox, having a stylist

2010-06-06T06:16:00.002-07:00

How does wildfox couture make tacky clothes look good? Great styling, a great photographer and great models(?) Every Wildfox ad shows how important a talented stylist is, he/she is making the clothes look so good that people actually buy them! And they are super pricey and super ugly!

So, this is my attempt at a DIY studding project. I bought the refills for a Bedazzler and just used needle nose pliars to close the backs. The fabric is pretty cheap so it snagged a bit, I recommend using a nice cotton instead. Please excuse the terrible photos, I had to use my phone...

RUN TO RAGS

2009-08-05T07:56:00.000-07:00

so, I was envious of those faded and cut-up levis, which are rather costly at thrift stores. so, I attempted to fake a pair. I took a pair of light faded blue shorts and cut the hem off, then I used a cheese grater to make "natural" looking holes. Then I put them in the washing machine which makes those lovely strings. That's how they turned out.
