In Memorium

Last month saw the deaths of both David Lynch and Marianne Faithful.
Their aesthetic left an indelible impression on the world. 

I personally appreciated Lynch's fashion collaborations (especially the 2014 line with Kenzo,) and his book on meditation, more than his actual films and TV shows (no hate please!).

My favorite would be the ad he directed in 2008 for Gucci perfume using Blondie's "Heart of Glass".

Marianne Faithful - actress, singer, muse

I remember my teen self bringing home one of her albums from the "Bargain Bins" section at my local record store just because of the cover and the cool sounding name. 




I ended up giving away the record, alas, but there was a song on it with the line "it's always darkest before dawn" and I had never heard that before, and thought she was a great lyricist!

I later learned it was a line from Thomas Fuller, the British, 17th c. historian and theologian. Womp womp.

I also discovered what a gorgeous British babe she was in the 1960s and how her style simply oozed "of course I dated Mick Jagger AND Alain Delon"!

Paris



from my first trip, April 2022

In a few weeks i will be taking my third trip to Paris.

It will be fast and furious but all in the name of "professional developmet" as it's centered around two fashion exhibitions: 

 Louvre Couture and Du Cœur À La Main: Dolce & Gabbana at the Grand Palais.

But to any style conscious traveler who has been here you know that the whole city is a fashion museum. 


Lou Doillon (who else?)


Here is where I've been turning to for inspiration in preparation for my trip:

Elle has an excellent overview!

WWD's current chronicle is worth exploring.

And here! 








 Stay tuned for what I bring back!
