print-mania.

celeste stein designs will literally "knock your socks off" and then give you 1,239 different prints and patterns to choose from when ordering new socks {and tights.} that is seriously nuts. here is but a small fraction of their designs. i am, sadly, and yet seriously, considering getting some cat tights. the print third-row-right looks like something out of chloe sevigny's new line for opening ceremony.

fall '08.

although it's technically spring, it still feels like fall {but hopefully it will be summer soon!} if you can stay in that fall frame of mind, you should check out the pantone color report for fall/winter 2008. if you're not in the fashion business and always thinking 2 seasons ahead, you can also stay au currant by checking out the report for this spring. like i said before, 'cantaloupe' and 'silver gray' are my colors this season!!

for h&m.

so the new marimekko 'designer' collection for h&m comes out this thursday and i have one word for it; barf.


marimekko has such a long tradition of beautiful clothes. with pieces in both classic stripe / dot patterns as well as modern 'fun' prints, i've envied their clothes {and pattern designers} for a long time now and i can understand giving a nod to their popular patterns from the 60's and 70's, {even re-using the 'joonas' pattern} but i think that they veered a bit off course. the following images are from marimekko's s/s '08 collection. why didn't they make cheaper versions of those!!?? i'd pretty much kill for that last dress!

the word is also out that a comme des garcons for h&m collection is scheduled for november. i'm interested to see out that will turn out. also, i'm still crossing my fingers for a 3.1 phillip lim collaboration. please!!!

edit: gap design editions returns april 15th and includes band of outsiders, threeasfour, michael bastian, philip crangi and 3.1 phillip lim!

ingenius inflatables.

street artist joshua allen harris creates inflatable animals out of discarded plastic bags and then ties the bags to the ventilation grates above the subway lines so that when the subway passes through underneath, the rush of air causes the animal to spring to life!


so neat! {this story brought to you by the wooster collective}
