quote of the day

‘… the prevalent sensation of oneself as a separate ego enclosed in a bag of skin is a hallucination which underlies the misuse of technology for the violent subjugation of man’s natural environment…”

the book: on the taboo against knowing who you are

shroomin’

i’ve always loved the mushroom cut. it’s a strange thing to admit as it’s inherently unattractive… or at least un-sexy. but there’s something about the tidy graphic softness that makes sense. the only problem is i can’t find any successful examples on light blonds, maybe ce n’est pas possible? the only one that comes close, on our dear siri is way off… what do you think, should i go for it, yay or nay? by kl

oh shelley

trying to enjoy a day out in paris in -5 °C cold weather is not exactly the ideal situation, but for some reason upon returning to my cozy hotel–this clip made me smile.

best known for three women? i actually haven’t seen all the way through. will have to if anything as a gesture of gratitude. by kl

tim walker – story teller

tim walker is an anomaly in the fashion world. he maintains a raw and naive feel to bring personal connection to his images sprouting from childhood tendencies he never grew out of. he creates a mood of dream and reality at the same time. he emits innocence and darkness simultaneously. he does things his way, and that’s why he is different from those who shoot primarily for someone else, he shoots for himself, and he wants to play. i saw this show at somerset house and it’s really great, if you’re in london please go! apologies for the late post as there are only 2 more days left, but make the time if possible, it shows a wonderful balance of his work mingling along with actual props and set pieces built, so you feel as though you are finally entering his private world.  gotta love a dreamer. by kl
