Chinese Faux Paw
Thursday, April 27th, 2006
I recently got back from a short trip to Beijing and Shanghai. Street style in China is definitely much more restricted than it is in Japan, but some are trying to take it to the next level, one way or another. As we all have heard ad nauseum China is the next big thing, after being there I tend to agree. However, as seen in the image above, this couple from Shanghai is trying a bit too hard. Notice the expression of disbelief on the face of the umbrella vendor.

Trend Alert: It’s over…

****update***Sorry Ladies. Flats never look good no matter how good your legs are. Now that it’s warm, the leggings have no reason for being. Rather than flats, I recommend a nice sexy pair of towering pumps. I’m salivating over a very sexy pair at (gasp!), Steve Madden. I’m developing a love for grey suede pumps. A Dries Van Noten pair from a few seasons ago got me interested.
If you follow the advice concerning the flats, then why would you want to cover your legs with dodgy leggings? Everyone in New York is wearing them, the cute and uncute all have them on. Be fashion forward and try something new!
Please note that although the model shown on the right is wearing Converse shoes, no harm is meant to Converse. I support both their low and high tops (especially their shimmery ones available at Barney’s).

Sketchbook Style…
Monday, April 3rd, 2006
Sketchbook style is coming back in a strong way. This detail, shown on the left is from a t-shirt that I love which can be found at Fred Flare. It takes the nautical look in a playful art school way, rather that being to pirate-ish which can tend to be way 2002. In the same sketchbook vein, the Mushroom Girls Virus is putting out a book which all graphic lovers should check out. Their trippy drawings are gorgeous and very inspiring. Also worth mentioning are the spring collection of hand printed cards available from Little Paper Planes. And lastly, my textile fave the design house of Marimekko presents the beautiful fabric shown in the lower right which is by artist Maija Louekari. It’s been a while since it’s been cool to have girls faces on things, so let’s embrace it. Everyone should go draw a girl right now, it will be so trend-right Midas Touch…
