VS Fashion Show 2009

{fashion.elle.com/blog}
This year’s Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (Dec 1st at 10/9 central) bears a “romantic travel” theme and features categories such as Enchanted Forest, All Aboard, and Star Trooper. You have to respect the talent of the models Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes strutting down the runway in those massive wings with grace and beauty while wearing high heels.

Studio MS

Studio MS have created, among other things, the perfect light for bookworms. Pleats unfold – piano-accordion-like – between the covers of a novel and are brightened with a gentle glow. This elegantly ruffled look can be seen in all their pieces – from the 'Octave' handbag to the 'Closer' bench. Studio MS is the work of Mi-Seung Kim and Myung-Seo Kang, both graduates of Central Saint Martins in London; one specialised in product design, the other in fashion print. The school is where they first met, five years ago, and they started designing together mid-2009. Their inspirations are "small things from people's daily lives".

The 'Book' light and 'Octave' bag are part of Studio MS's Octagonal Series, which exhibited at Tent London 2009.

"We played with origami and used 'fishbone direct folding'. We calculated the length of pleats mathematically, creating octagonal pleats, which are not merely flexible but also strong and have inestimable possibilities," they explain.

If you know me, you would know that in general I am not a fan of "parades". Yes that may be silly or sad. . . I just don't care for them. But this balloon parade is another story. I like the smart thinking behind it. It is not a constant flow of license characters expanded to 200'.

Skywalkers - Scion Art Basel 2006 from FriendsWithYou on Vimeo.

Back in 2006 art collaborative FriendsWithYou opened Art Basel Miami with an event that rivaled the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Toyota Scion commissioned FWY to produce Skywalkers with a set of 18 balloons, ranging from 5 to 60 feet, celebrating our solar system’s “formal acceptance into the universe.” The balloons dotted the Miami Beach sky with the help of various artists like Mumbleboy, Paper Rad and David Choe and 300 volunteers.

Kate Spade 2010 spring collection

I can't get enough of Kate Spade. Her collections just keep getting better! I am happy to still see some feminine details (flowers and frills) carrying into the 2010 season.

From Famespy.com:
Kate Spade just debuted photos from the Spring / Summer 2010 collection and once again they’ve hit it out of the park. If you haven’t visited a Kate Spade shop lately, or browsed the fall collection online, you’re missing out because the brand has experienced an overhaul injecting girlie glamour into an already feminine brand. Kate Spade’s Creative Director Deborah Lloyd’s inspiration for her spring collection was, as she put it, “If you took the train to the end of the line and ended up in Coney Island.” The result was a playful retro-chic line that harkened back to simpler times. {famespy.com}

tavi, the style rookie

Her commentary seems to come from a 40+ year old fashion mind, yet she is somehow only 13 years old. At times, I thought, "maybe it is really her stylist parents writing all of this and then they collectively take all these awesome photos of her styled-up outfits?"

But then I saw the photos of Tavi at fashion shows, and thought "nope, this is real". I would still like to see a live interview. . . I read a little more about her on wikipedia. Her dad is an English teacher and didn't really know she was blogging much till she asked his permission to appear in a New York Time Magazine story. She started her blog March 2008, when she was only 11 years old. She has already been on the cover of "Pop Magazine".

I admire any soul with passion, drive and a solid perspective. I hope some day my kids shock me like Tavi did her father.

From her site:
Tiny 13 year old dork that sits inside all day wearing awkward jackets and pretty hats. Scatters black petals on Rei Kawakubo's doorsteps and serenades her in rap. I have no where near 4 million readers. Rather cynical and cute as a drained rat. In a sewer. Farting. And spitting out guts.
