February 22nd, 2010 17 Comments

(top) A preview of Pop’Africana’s stunning first cover; (bottom) Oroma Elewa
Another character I had the pleasure of hanging with in NY was Oroma Elewa of my new favorite project Pop’Africana. We met up at her place for wine and bonding over shoes & art. Oroma is a beautiful Scorpio who hates wedges, and I, a [...]

Inspiration: Prada Fantasy Lookbook

Prada Fantasy Lookbook Spring/Summer 2010 (via fashioncopious)

I don’t know the full story behind these Prada S/S 2010 images yet (i.e. who shot them/art directed), all I know is they rock.  I may have to reinterpret the top image for myself somehow.  SO Alice.  Definitely my dream portrait.

Inspiration: Mercedes Helnwein in Lula magazine

Mercedes Helnwein for Lula, by Glynis Selina Arban, styled by Aya T. Kanai

So I thought about it and decided that while this entire shoot from Lula is stunning (as is their entire catalogue), this particular image is one of the most beautiful & striking images I saw all year.  The colors are just perfect, the [...]

Inspiration: Hint Magazine’s Mind Trip

December 24th, 2009 7 Comments

Hint magazine – Mind Trip via urbn
Hint magazine’s interactive editorials are one of very few things I’ve found that, with a little tweaking, could potential outdo the buzz I get from a glossy.  When I looked at this trippy editorial I was completely mesmerized by the use of fashion, art, design, and the web.  Only [...]

My Work: Style Section LA Q&A with Gale Parker, Clothespin Boutique

November 24th, 2009 11 Comments

My first piece for Style Section LA, a new website started by two former LA Times editors, is up. I did a Q&A with the inspirational lady mentioned in my last post, Gale Parker, at her new boutique Clothespin. Gale is pretty fucking rad; she was muse to YSL, Valentino, and friend of Andy Warhol, [...]

I will go and bake a honey cake and that’s all.

November 21st, 2009 7 Comments

I spent some time speaking with an incredible woman yesterday, interviewing her for a story (that I’ll post asap). Upon noticing my tattoo (i have the word “contrariwise” on my arm/wrist) and subsequently my Alice in Wonderland obsession, she lent me The Principals of Uncertainty by Maira Kalman, a whimsical book of illustrations and musings [...]

Lady Gaga Killing “It” with Bad Romance!

November 10th, 2009 15 Comments

It’s just too good not to post. Gaga definitely brings out the haters (pretty sure I lost some twitter followers over her today LOL) but looking solely at this video – no, scratch that ANY of her videos but especially this one – please tell me how you’re still hating!? I started out completely skeptical [...]

World free your mind, put your head back in the clouds and start the ch-ch-ch-change.

Inspiration: Aurel Schmidt, Style & Art

September 3rd, 2009 4 Comments

She may well be entering “it girl” territory, but Aurel Schmidt isn’t just talented-by-association. She is a genius artist first; the wacky downtown NY sense of style & ascent to indie darling are just icing on a delish cake. She has serious talent, the permanent kind, the kind worth framing – things that I’d actually [...]

Inspiration at the mall

August 3rd, 2009 5 Comments

I avoid the mall if possible (except for regular trips to H&M and F21), but ended up at the South Coast plaza with my mom this weekend. I was so enamored with these white haired, french revolution inspired, mannequins at Mango that I had to get my Modelizer on and snap a pic. I might [...]

Inspiration: Peter Miszuk, like “What’s In Your Bag?”, but different.

April 13th, 2009 7 Comments

I stumbled upon Peter Miszuk’s mixed-media “scanner art” forever ago, thought it was really cool, then could never find it again.
