meet dominique

'

she collects things

and styles things
and builds things

and is curious about everything


dominique baynes

would you wear

a pant suit in place
of a wedding dress?

my sister isn't
into the whole traditional
wedding dress thing.


i know she
would never go
for a pant suit, but
man, i think it would
be super cool & beautiful
to see a bride pull it off
in a very feminine way


would you take
a risk like that?

you know that time of day

and film stills

i pulled this off

the lehman bros website
back in sept, a few hours
after they announced
bankruptcy.

i kept it.


it was just so plain
so matter-of-fact


its a testament to
typography and to the
language of law when something
so colossal, so detrimental to our economy
and to human lives can look so
soulless so "un-sorry"
...so easy.


ps: domino folded

from mozart

"well, there it is"

my go-to line
from amadeus

my roommates
and i watched this
movie over and over
in our tiny 5 floor
apt on mulberry
street, nyc



ps: do you see
the exacto knife
on the mantel?

i'm a big fan of

the vintage
kitchen set and
butcher block from
my go-to prop company


just imagine
if you placed these
pieces in an all white
kitchen...the wood
would glow like
honey

i can manage
no more than 6 pieces
of technical instructions.

anything above 6 is
beyond reason.
