Such beauty and intricacy.

If I had $60 to spend on a homemade throw, it’d surely be this one.  Such a great pattern.

I never thought I’d find luggage I like on Etsy, but voila! This duffel bag is gorgeous (and this one too).

With so many of my friends having babies recently (or in the near future), I’m always on the lookout for baby presents.  The Wooly Baby shop makes the cutest baby and children’s slippers of all.  They use sweaters and re-purpose them into the most adorable little footwear.  A little out of my price range, but I do always love to see what they’ve made from time to time!

 You may remember me posting this a few weeks ago:

Here is the outcome of this collaboration, which I promised I would document and finally have!  You could say I’ve documented their documentation…

“In the Animal Sweater pattern, 180 animal shaped logos are set free… the pattern suggests a new way to experience the commercial imagery.”

Also loving Karl’s work for Cheap Monday and Wknd.

There are few people who can pull off an outfit like Tilda Swinton.  She rarely does any wrong in my book (though she gets a lot of flack from the Fug girls).  She has such an unearthly beauty that even creations like this seem perfectly suited to her.  I’ve featured the sculptural knits of Sandra Backlund before, and on Tilda they seem even more fantastical and beautiful than ever before.

My husband took this photo of Sarah Rara when he crashed a drawing collaboration with the Sumi Ink Club (aka Glaciers of Nice, or The Lucky Dragons).  Seth contributed a few doodles and jots of his own to this fabric which was used to make tunics for some clothing line (don’t remember which one).  I will take photos of the resulting zine that they were kind enough to send at the end of the project, which explores close-ups of the pattern.

The last time I checked Ellie’s shop it was empty… now it is choc full of her lovely designs.  I’m mad about the textile designs she’s done.  It’s only a matter of time before we see her do specialty wallpaper.

Wow.  I would say that Karl has outdone himself, but I feel that hairstylist Katsuya Kamo deserves the glory here.  According to Women’s Wear Daily, he and his assistants used only two packets of 11 x 17 paper to create the beautiful headpieces worn in the Spring couture show.  They are amazing, as is the collection itself.  The paper headpieces lent themselves perfectly to this black and white show, reflecting “the new modesty” that Chanel is adopting… for now anyway.
