I love these paintings from Erika Somogyi… so vibrant and well… magical.

I have been impressed with a few more shows this fashion week (like Doo.Ri, Jeremy Laing, 3.1 Phillp Lim, and Marc by Marc) but I was especially struck by the accessories by Lizzie Fortunato in the VPL show.

I also really loved the stained glass necklaces in the 3.1 Phillip Lim show.  Not sure who designed them though.

Some shoes on Ebay I decided not to bid on..

So far this SS09 fashion week Marc Jacobs is the only collection that has captured my attention for more that a split second.  He presented a lovely collection combining metallics, plaids, stripes,and solids- which could have been a mish-mash disaster, but was quite successfully executed.  It was very fun, and was much more visually interesting than his last few collections.  There are some beautiful woven metallic patterns which I loved (see the detail shots).  I felt that the only weakness in the collection were the shoes.

Beautiful typographical work from Sam Winston.

Great work.

Typically I’m not into crystal/geode necklaces, nor am I into the mystical “healing” aspect of them.  I will, however, make an aesthetic exception for these.  Very rad.

I’m going to make my husband wear these when he rides his bike… hehe.  They would surely get drivers to pay attention.

I love this pattern- though I probably couldn’t pull this dress off!  This is one of the few shops in the US that I know of that carries Mina Perhonen clothing.
