i've seen these around.



but bryon's work is by
no means old news.


it's good news



good news
prevails



like
jackson polluck's
drunk face




ps: blogging time
is messing up time




too much
info 24/7


too much
news


lots of snacks
but no real meals




i hate to feel like
i'm a proponent of this.

the return of the
simple leather satchel








i've never been into
embellished bags.



i can barely
handle a tassel.



when i was a teen
i felt so weird shopping
with friends because i couldn't
find anything at the mall.



i kept quiet.
empty handed.



I would politely compliment
their new bags and clothes
call it "cute" whatever.



while deep down inside
i thought i was crazy.



it's weird because
i saw myself as incredibly feminine
but had no way of defining my style.
i leaned towards more "masculine"
pieces that were a bit quieter
and composed.



but i've always
hated the word:



masculine



i'm no stark crazy minimalist
who wears men's clothes
or conceptual frocks.



i'm no annie hall.



i like florals, pinks
and flowy dresses.
victorian laces!




i don't know what
to call it and who
really cares
anyways?



why am i rambling
on and on?



what i want to point out,
is that i'm noticing a new wave
of designers exploring femininity
in quieter and less embellished forms.



the bag
for example:



hope
makr
mimi
céline
jas mb
ally capellino
stephanie arpage
maison margiela



which bag
speaks to you?

and i also dedicate
the month of may to:

the sea






why can't we
plug the oil leak?
we're now on the
5th strategy.



regardless,
we all know that
a band aid neither
prevents or heals
a wound.

ps: the cove
is an important
film to see.

a cross between
peter beard, great gatsby
and jean pierre léaud

ps: i'm so glad
you liked the book.
to clarify, mozart was a
personal project and
thus not for sale.


but maybe
one day!

mozart
is the title of
my first little book

going down to
georgia today



where i will
go swimming and
hang out with my
rad grandmother.



morning grits
with lots & lots
of cheese is the
absolute best.



for the hot weather,
i've got my eyes on this
isabel marant bikini
and rachel comey
sandals.

deck towels

i hear i went to
high school with
this kid.

box for a friend




ps:



joey roth,
the designer of
my favorite speakers
is curating an event
for ICFF design
week in nyc.




SOUNDS LIKE
9 designers and 5 musicians
reinterperate the ceramic speakers,
modify and reshape using their
own visual languages.



david lynch is
one of them




i'm going!
monday, may 17

Architecture and war
are not incompatible.

Architecture is war.
War is architecture.



I am at war with my time, with history,
with all authority that resides in
fixed and frightened forms.



I am one of millions
who do not fit in,



who have no home,
no family, no doctrine,
no firm place to call my own,
no known beginning or end,



no "sacred and
primordial site."



I declare war on all icons and finalities,
on all histories that would chain me
with my own falseness,
my own pitiful fears.



I know only moments,
and lifetimes that are as moments,
and forms that appear with infinite strength,
then "melt into air."



I am an architect,
a constructor of worlds,
a sensualist who worships the flesh,
the melody, a silhouette against
the darkening sky.



I cannot know your name.
Nor you can know mine.



Tomorrow, we begin together
the construction of a city.

i still remember
the lecture he gave
at the guggenheim
5 years or so ago.

ps: interview

a familial bond

i've always loved
the connection between
jane, charlotte & lou



it shines through their
body language, work and
camera presence etc.



it's very appealing.
and very honest.



you can't
say that about
many celebrities.
