Some of my best friends are blondes…. they know who they are. Actually, strangely enough, a good chunk of my friends are blondes… what is that? Anyway, I just thought this was a cute [...]
Shoe D’Jour : Shoe Fetish
Wow… these aren’t your ordinary fetish shoes…. Christian Louboutin and David Lynch paired up to make this series of photographs… there is the creepy fetish feeling, but for some reason when Louboutin does it, I feel somewhat safe.
Louboutin made shoes as true to his sketches as possible, with heels that extend beyond the outsole, making [...]
Middle East meets West
Bay Area artist, Ala Ebtekar does some interesting art mixing his Iranian roots with American culture. Particularly influenced by local graffiti and his exiled parents desire to return to Iran after ‘the war was over’ Ebtekar creates a white washed world where nothing is completely as it seems.
There’s a particularly moving article/interview with the artist [...]
Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre
Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre by William Staehle is a real place, online. I don’t know much else, but I love, love, love it. Then again, you know how much I love silhouettes.
It makes me wonder about old paintings… the other day, I saw a whole host of recycled paintings in a coffee shoppe, all collaged into [...]
Confronting the shadows with lovely silhouettes
Cut-outs and silhouettes are super-hot this year, which I love, but my mind has already been branded by thought provoking artist, Kara Walker, who printed the above The Emancipation Approximation does such a stunning job of using a Victorian era-technique to visually reinforce her point. [...]

“I felt the spirit of Christmas was being [...]
Modern Portraits
Portraits are such interesting concepts. Even today, if you were to think about it, when was the last portrait of you taken. I’m not talking about the pictures from the last dinner party you went to, but the last real time you sat down and had a portraiture done. I’ve never been painted, that’s for [...]
Merely Being Konstruktiv
This short film clip of Oswalt Helgason’s current AW07 collection inspired by the “Le Train Bleu” created by Ballets Russes founder, Serge Diaghilev. The clip cleverly appropriates Russian Construcivism, and at 56 seconds, it’s certainly entertaining to watch. If the dynamic, yet minimal geometric patterns and clever typography makes Constructivism is one of [...]
Reality Art
I always wondered what it was like to live amongst museum pieces….
One cannot think of a worse piece of art for a cat lover than the Donald Judd stacks. We created plexiglass ’slipcovers’. I’m sure a purist would find this insulting, but it does the job.~Todd Black, interior designer (via NYT style magazine… 12/02)
Felipe Olivera Baptiste
Hint Mag sent out the newsletter … ooh, the excitement of new web-fashion-shoots… I really like a lot… One of the dresses caught my attention, the Felipe Olivera Baptiste pop up dress, looking at his site, I’m just really taken by the collection…And the Spring collection that appears to be inspired [...]
