WE LOVE ACNE
This one photo sums up why I love ACNE so much. Cool, sophisticated and clearly thoughtful design. Because ACNE draws inspiration from a modern canvas, they can never look dated.
LUNCHEON ON THE GRASS
Dior's latest ad campaign
Manet's Le déjeuner sur l'herbe
The Art History buff in me is really excited to see the newest ad campaign by Dior.
A BREAKDOWN OF COLOR IN FILM STILLS
There is no wonder genres of art overlap one another. Film and design are good examples of this. Many directors use color for effect. Just as Vincent van Gogh used greens and reds to represent anxiety, Stanley Kubrick used contrasting hot and cold colors to represent chilling distortions within the narrative. Here are color spectrum within stills of film. Color is so important; they have deep and direct impacts within the aesthetic and personal eye. So when someone asks you your favorite color, answer instead your favorite color combinations. What do they do for you? For me, a navy outfit with red lips makes me feel bolder than sans the red lips.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou / Wes Anderson
(Bill Murray made the neon cap happen way before every roaming man in Williamsburg. The defiance of cherry red against the blue is like a nod to all things quirky in Wes Anderson's film-panes.)
More after the jump.
METALLIC SHOES
Do you want them? Do you need them? I am honestly hesitating on getting them in fear that they won't look right in a couple of months... I know they were all the rage last season. Advice, please!
THE PRINT WE LOVE
I am a big fan of publishing, mostly little magazines that hold themselves up on more than big advertisers and private stockholders. Self-service is a magazine based in Paris that hold an expectation of themselves. That expectation is the thrill of a glossy, editorial look without the bullshit celebrities wearing borrowed Couture plastered everywhere (it may just be an American editorial thing: everyone, even on Amazon, knows). The people at Self-Service love Couture and simply showcase it at its best.
OAK
Oak does minimalism well. The store itself is a white space with black clothes lined up the walls like a chic army. Plus, the staff at the Nassau Avenue location really like Lek ;) and it's right down the street from Five Leaves!
