I am obsessed with Diane von Furstenberg’s latest ad campaign, shot by French artist François-Marie Banier. My favorite aspect of the campaign is the hand written script collaged onto the shot below.

New York Look…

I’m obsessed with New York Magazine’s fashion spin-off, New York Look. More like a primary source rather than your typical fashion mag, New York Look breaks down all of the best collections of the S/S ‘08 season. Not only are you given access to color, silhouette, and beauty trends, but you also get to see all the juicy, not-so-publicized details of fashion week, including runway backdrops, front row attendees, and designer inspirations. My favorite spread, titled “From Every Angle,” gave a photographic montage of all the front row and backstage action.

While browsing Atypk’s site, I found this python tape that I love. It’s giving me some great Christmas wrapping ideas…

Although I’m typically I heel sort of girl, I’m totally obsessed with riding boots.  I’m not sure if it’s from growing up on a farm, but I love the near practicality of these boots.  I just picked up a pair at a second hand shop in Paris that has a similar shape.  These are by Frye, and are available at Anthropologie.

Over the holiday weekend Leo and I have become obsessed with the AMC show, Mad Men. It’s one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while, and the costume design makes it doubly worth watching. The show is based on the men in the ad agency profession in the 60’s, and highlights the good and bad of that period in terms of workplace ethics, gender roles, and fashion.

After watching the show, I’ve been increasingly interested in all the slimmer retro shapes that keep popping up for fall. The dress shown on the left is by Generra, and the dress to the right is Robert Rodriguez.
