"McQueen Leaves Fashion in Ruins"



Check out this article by Eric Wilson for the New York Times. He comments on Alexander McQueen's bold statement with his very ambitious Fall 2009 collection, recently shown in Paris, and the reaction he provoked.  It is pretty interesting.

ILY YSL


 
A creation by Italian designer Stefano Pilati for Yves Saint Laurent.
I LOVE the geometric/architectural look of these shoes.
They are funky and edgy, yet ever so chic-- I want these shoes!
They seem to be the new Vogue "it" shoes.
Another iconic piece by my favorite Yves Saint Laurent.

Happy birthday, to you!


Theodor "Ted" Seuss Geisel, or Dr. Seuss, would have been 105 today. He is most commonly known for his children's books, but was so much more-- a writer, animator and political cartoonist. He spent most of his career in advertisement as well as contributing his works to newspapers and films. He was a brilliant poet and artist, but kept his art private. He has had a great impact on pop culture, and has been a major influence in my writing, art, politics, and philosophy.

In loving memory...
 1904-1991
