electric blue

I just got the Bat for Lashes album, I listened to it 5 times today. She is magical.
I stood memorized in the crowd at Bestival when I saw her live over the summer, as she swanned around in an electric blue play suit across the stage.

I want to go to Paris.....

TAR

Cover by Damien Hirst

In New York, the magazine stores don't seem to dispose of out of date magazines. often resulting in 3 different months worth of Vogues on the same shelf. This however worked in my favour when it came to obtaining my copy of TAR. I had seen this edition months before in the WHSmith at Victoria station, and missing my chance to purchase due to long queue to the counter and my train departing in moments.

The opening fashion story styled by Alistair McKimm, Cedric Buchet and Philipp Haemmerle recasts supermarket meat, spaghetti and sprinkes as couture:

Briefs by DSquared

Tank top by DSquared, jeans by Ksubi

Tank top by Malo, jeans by Diesel

Livre Martin Margiela


Maison Martin Margiela by Martin Margiela

I saw this book a couple of months ago in Spoonbill & Sugartown booksellers on Bedford avenue in Williamsburg, NY, sitting next to a cat on the counter. Flicking through the pages of the superbly designed book (designed exclusively by Margiela and complete with silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of lush paper types, twelve booklets, and an embroidered white-linen cover.), I saw pictures describing the inspirations and creations by Margiela.
It went straight down on my Christmas list, though I don't think my list was the only one it went on as amazon has still failed to come up with the goods....... one will just have to wait.
