Inspiration+Some Old Stuff!

So I've been terribly inspired by It Looks Good To Me, which is an exquisite blog by a Brooklyn Textile Designer. It's my daily pick-me-up, if I may. Caroline has some gorgeous watercolours which she accentuates with graphic pen sketches and I wanted to try and recreate that. This is a start, and although it's beyond mediocre, I'm happy. :D

Also, some of my old stuff. Stuff I love.

When I tried doing Ready-to-wear. Focus on tried.

My Herringbone mini-collection.

My tribulations with Plaid.

I can't decide if I love this or hate it. Help me decide?

Talking about inspiring.

Inspiration.

I'm sure you guys have heard of Sita Sings the Blues. It's left me terribly inspired. Hilarious, gorgeous, interesting and fun all at once. The mixed-media concept is just stunning. Also, it's incredibly funny treatment of sexism had me in splits throughout.

Yes I can.

This is from GQ India June 2010.

One list I vow to make in ten years.

For sure.

I'm thinking...

JUMPSUITS! For men.

I've been noticing a lot of these blue collar types in these overalls and although I think they're a little hard to pull off, they can look very chic.

I'd say drop the waist, slim the leg and add a leather belt. You're good to go.

If I were in Europe, I'd totally be wearing them. Here, not so much.

What do you think?

Lanvin SS '11 Pre-Collection.

The Lanvin Spring/Summer 2011 pre-collection came out two days ago. I'm more than a little excited. This is why I absolutely adore the house. My dream job would be at Lanvin. This is so my style. Alber E, are you listening?

See the rest here.

I'm thinking...

Today, I'm thinking...an ostrich handbag in pastel a la Longchamp, except, deconstructed.

Pardon once again, the hopeless camera quality.

One of these day I must muster up the courage to ask my dad for a decent picturemaker.
