Just a few photos from David Macgillivray. I find the composition so sincere, it reminds me a lot of Peter Lindbergh, a longtime favorite of mine.

Alexander Wang Pre Fall

I just love Alexander Wang's creations and how he is developing his craft. This time around he called for a little romanticism, and here we see how his little grunge girl grew up and fell in love. The softer fabrics - velvet!! - and a sprinkling of sheer is a perfect combo to get our libidos up in anticipation for the full line!

A Peacock Snow Queen

L'Wren Scott creates the most fantastical collections exploring her idea of rock n' roll elegance. This particular piece is the perfect example: the lean, clean rocker silhouette matched with glam heels and topped off with the most extravagant marabou cape.

"A principal that motivates me is All is One. This principle removes the illusion of separation.

The illusion says that up is separate from down, right separate from wrong, male separate from female, joy separate from sadness.

The more I consider this idea, the more I realise that all separations are points of measurement on the same line, they are of the same energy. By this I mean Joy and Sadness are actually of the same energy, they just describe the energy resonating at different frequencies.

Yes, I recognise and honour difference but not division.

And I find this thought gives me freedom. It gives me permission to feel everything I feel without the judgement of thinking it to be a good or bad feeling. It removes my guilt and so allows me the moment because I know I can always tune the dial, turning the energy up or down, changing and creating my experience.

I wanted to take this thought into everything I do, creating in form an expression of the concept, a material expression of All is One."

- Georgina Goodman


From glamazon to rocker, Georgina Goodman has something for you. The motivation behind her creations, from her accessories to her store to her customer relations, is quite inspiring. All her shoes (foot sculptures, really) are stamped with the phrase 'Made in Love,' and it shows. Everything that Georgina sets her mind to flows from a philosophy expressing All is One. As I filter through her website, I find not only the beautiful creations, but an intimacy that is hard to find in such a consumer oriented world. It is such a pleasant relief to know that there are people out there who still think, I mean really think, about what they do - where it comes from, where it is going, what it really is. Her philosophy knows not the bounds of the fashion world, but slips into your daily coffee and motivates your interactions.

All is One is our philosophy
Love is our freedom
Work is our play
Creativity is our passion
Art is our expression
Collaboration is our psychology
Joy is our emotion
Soul is our boundary
Family is our culture
Balance is our creed
Inspiration is our guide
Being is our vision
Belief is our future

Sitting Pretty

Kartell Mademoiselle Dolce & Gabanna
Limited Edition Chair

Moooi Smoke Chair and Chandelier

What I find irresistible about Moooi is the way they create their pieces. Quite the unique process, Moooi first constructs the wood frame of the pieces and then burns them. Once licked by the flames, the wood is then treated with epoxy for gloss and preservation.

The Kartell chaise is just the most fun and pretty little thing I have come across in a while. Simple lines, clean construction, fabulous print. A peacock in its own right!

Helmut Lang

The collection from Nicol and Michael Colovos for spring is a beautiful, fluid motion from beginning to end. The fabrics fall so easily into the shapes of jackets, pants, and dresses that I find a certain serenity in the clothes. There is no reliance on gimmicks or essays on trends - this collection simply works, and works because it is simple. Luxury does not rely merely on craft or material, but the inclusion of those with a feeling of ease the garments allow you. Luxury is not luxurious unless you feel so, and it is much easier to feel so if you are not constrained or overexposed by a garment.


The organic shapes of the pieces speak to the ease with which you can wear them, and the subtle architectural construction gives just the right amount of structure needed so you don’t get too lost in them.

The range in this collection is quietly surprising. The marble-like printed t-shirt and a vest jumpsuit on one side to a basic dress and office casual ensemble on the other free the collection from the limits of appealing to one demographic.

Comme des Garçons

Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garçons spring line was quite the fantastical 18th century bubble bath of those aristocrats who forgot to take off their elaborate hair additions after a ball.

Zac Posen

Zac Posen's line this spring hits all the right notes. For one, the Lykke Li soundtrack was perfect. He brings us floaty tops, a well cut blazer, leopard, ruffles, and the return of the midriff. When a lot of the fashions are leaning on greys and blacks, there are always those who defy the normalcy of a season. Posen's choice of colour is not ingenious for spring, but it is the refreshing break amongst all the other darker inspirations. His mix of the rock n roll bouffant, although styled to its death over the past few years, is dramatized with chandelier earrings but toned down with the lady-like colours and demure shoes. My favorite part of his look are the metallic purple lips. Trés Peacock.


The exposed upper abdomen is making a healthy comeback this coming spring, and I have to admit that I am more excited for this look than for those low-rider jeans that everyone had a fling with. Not only is this look much more comfortable with regards to how it sits on the waist, but it is exponentially more discretely appealing as the chance for exposing your inner plumber is avoided. It leaves nothing hanging out and the juiciest tid-bits to the imagination - the way sexy should be.


Suede is a material traditionally reserved for the fall/winter collections, but Posen brings it into spring quite successfully. I enjoy the colour choices and how the matte is juxtaposed with the sheen of the shirt and dress respectively. The shoulder shape of the citron shirt is a beautiful update of the power shoulders from the 80s. This lady-like rock n roll look works very well here.


These two leopard looks are simply divine. On the one side there we have something very workable for the upper east side girl with a wild side, on the other we have the downright wild child in a plastic, leather-look interpretation. The silhouettes are right on point - these ensembles are just two sides to the same coin. I can just see the black one paired with long gloves to bring it into fall 09.


The ruffles are yet another point of interest that Posen brings into his line. The cuffed pantsuit with the daintily incorporated ruffle V neck blouse us just the right kind of effortless chique for spring. Conversely, the drama of the three quarter dress is so refreshing for more formal events. There is the same playfulness as the first look in the length and movement of it, yet the intensity of the black brings in the rock n roll look that we have seen throughout the collection.His collection exposes the perfect girly-girl gone bad.
