beats and feet

this music video, sent to me by a friend, combines old (mostly dance) footage, with retro jazz-inspired beats by tony junior and nicolas nox.  somehow, the recycled images are so much more exciting than the usual.  that, and the dancing is waaaaaay more impressive.  i think i've watched 20 times in the past 2 days.

serious length

if only i could find a floor-length skirt that made me look so long and lean.

sex, drugs and rock n' roll

balmain spring 2011 in paris: proof that christophe decarnin doesn't need a body-con dress to make a woman look fucking sexy.  leather and denim can do it on their own.

behind the scenes dreamworld

proenza schouler has been one of my favourite labels ever since they literally burst onto the scene when jack and lazaro won the first CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award almost immediately upon graduation from parsons.  the above are photographs tommy ton took of the duo prepping two days before their spring 2011 show in new york.  although i can only judge from a position that is very distant from their world, it really does seem that they love their work.  and it shows in their clothes, which are perhaps the most relevant and thrilling out there.
