Opening Ceremony x A is for Apple

Leopard print blazers, mixed stripe shirts, ladylike blouses....sound like your wardrobe? (sounds a little like mine). It's the new collaboration between Opening Ceremony and A is for Apple, a children's clothing line based in Hong Kong...brilliant. Probably overpriced, but definitely adorable.

Shonen Knife - Redd Kross

rudi gernreich + peggy moffit

rudi gernreich was a revolutionary designer, known best for his topless swimsuit (or monokini) and mod mondian-like, colorblocked shift dresses. huge activist for unisex clothing, and visionary with use of fabrication and print. here are some photos below of his infamous muse and model, peggy moffit- an icon of the fashion scene in the 60s.

Robert Verdi was the one to make this happen...but don't get too excited...they are for his own closet and will not be sold. so. not. fair.

Hedi Slimane’s London Teenage Study

these photos are so amazing...i love. these are from a 4 day shoot back in 2008 with Heidi Slimane and Nicola Formichettion, studying teens on the streets of London.

Every model has their own story with this shoot. There were kids that we had our eyes on in the earliest stages of research and there were kids that we approached having a coffee on brick lane. We found people at gigs, in clubs, everywhere. for the week of the shoot we basically went anywhere we thought we would find amazing characters and then shot them the next morning.

smashin week

fashion week is finally over.
Things ran unusually smooth this time around...the night before the show, we left the office at 8pm- which in the history of Charlotte Ronson (and I'm sure every other company) is the earliest we have ever finished. Steve and I actually enjoyed a nice Italian dinner and wine, which was an amazing end to the night.
