whenever i head to the beach, i bring along my favorite tangerine sarong by a company called Matta, that sells each one in it's own adorable matching bag. i love their things because the prints are so lively and colorful, and i cannot get enough of my sarong because..it's a skirt! and a scarf! and a beach blanket! and a dress! and in a pinch..a face cloth! i know duh? right? but i do love my Matta sarong.
the other day i happen to look out the window and see a super chic woman crossing the street towards our studio in fort point. i had a fleeting thought of, "where does miss hamptons think she's headed?..there aren't any private jets 'round here!" and then of course, i realized it was our own erin coming to work with oliver and baxter in tow. isn't she fab?
i would imagine to most of you these two disparate images are really not connected in any obvious way, but around here i am currently madly sketching away concepts for the fall collection. my inspiration, as i have mentioned here in previous posts, is jackie in india. this in turn makes me think about paisley and and rich colors, as well as super cool prep geometry. you do the math.
hey! remember "groove is in the heart"? this was our first LADY of disco..and she loved her costume changes just about as much as ms. gaga does. i think the lady miss part of the moniker is a good one..and my dear friend christophe continues to call me "lady miss jill" as an homage to this FIT grad. it's all about the marketing baby.
it just renders one speechless. i mean really. how good are the cigarette shades? wish i'd thought of it!
before entirely abandoning the theme, i thought i would also mention bergstrom originals, a cute toronto shop owned and operated by clothing designer christina bergstrom. i was instantly drawn to the colorful and lively sense of design here, and highly recommend a stop by her shop..if you happen to be in town.
..remind you of anyone?
look what i found! lonny mag's tori melliot found our sweet and sharp exeter cross dip bowls for the june/july issue. i am feeling so proud!
