the row part 2

Another one of my favourites from NY FW11 fashion week was The Row. I was in love with their pre-fall collection (so sleek) and this has me even more excited for winter! Particularly because of the leopard print loafers (pictured below are the ones I bought recently from Sportgirl) and the addition of mustard, blue and blush pink. 

I love the idea of the fur hat too, I'm lucky enough to own two Vanessa Bruno runway samples from a few seasons ago, those big and fluffy Russian winter hats in grey and white. I don't know if I'll ever be brave enough to wear them though.

 

 

A birthday card for my friend Clare. 

new work

my latest direct mailer for belinda, for spring/summer 11 - it's a poster halfway between a3 and a2, which folds down to dl. black & two fluro pms colours. i haven't done a poster in a while, so having this much space to work with was a nice change.

Rodarte

Pure perfection from Rodarte's FW11 collection inspired by the Terrence Malick film Days of Heaven. It's all country style soft blues, neutrals and wispy wheat prints meets prim and proper with just the right amount of tailoring and geometric lines.

 

 

 

cuffed

Tafe is back and full swing and yet I find myself distracted by FW 11 show coverage and the quest for the perfect cuff. I love all these guys! I'm looking forward to seeing collections from my two New York show favourites, Phillip Lim and Karen Walker.

Now off to study... !

Also reading wouldn't be the same without a lovely cup of tea. If you're in Sydney I recommend heading to Mamak on Golbourn St in the city, they make a traditional Malaysian sweetened tea which is stretched between two cups to make it nice and frothy.
