If you’re in the LA area, some friends of mine are having a show at Giant Robot. Brian Rush, Kate Guillen, and Zachary Rossman– all very talented illustrators. Feb. 16th- Mar. 12th (reception on Feb. 16th from 6:30 to 10)
Here’s a closeup of one of my great find this weekend. Oh yeah, and it was 89 cents!
Just to let you know, Seth and I ordered the Mid-Century sofa in “charcoal gray” from Urban Outfitters (which I posted about here), and we received it today and it is anything but gray! It is most definitely slate blue. No ifs ands or buts about it. Slate blue. So be aware. Fortunately the colour is ok with us, but we were definitely surprised.
Lena Corwin shot photos for the upcoming Fall Mociun lookbook, and they are quite lovely. She posted some of them over on her blog, and I just had to repost, because I love Mociun’s prints, and I also think that Lena is very talented too. I’m excited to see the finished product!
“Homage to the Stamp” is a series of beautiful stamps designed by Gavin Potenza (aka Exploratory Design), inspired by Otl Aicher.

Here are some more looks that I’ve liked so far during Fall Fashion week. Also some collections which I liked but am not picturing, are Marchesa and “Shipley and Halmos,” the new collection from two of the fellows that created Trovata. I like Jeff Halmos a lot and used to deal with him when I worked in the buying office. The new collection is very clean and tailored, and more sophisticated than Trovata. Good job guys!
My good friends over at Free City were kind enough to send over some photos of the new slip-ons that they designed with Vans. They look great! The designs work great on the classic slip-on. I like that they made the designs similar to classic Vans patterns, but used the Free City colour pallette, and classic Free City motifs (ie: the dove). This is great because it still makes the shoes wearable as every-day favourites, but makes them unique from other Vans.
Patrick Robinson (former director at Perry Ellis and Paco Rabanne) followed up a less-than-exciting collection for Target’s Go International with a new, more exciting collection for GAP, some of which is pretty rad. I really love this plaid dress in particular. I’m not to keen on the overall styling of these outfits (puffy vests, J-Lo hats), but you get the idea. Better than your normal GAP attire, no?
