I'M BAAAAACK

I've been away for sooooo looooong and I've missed you!!  My apologies, I've been off spring breaking with friends for our proverbial "grad trip" and in doing so I've missed waaaaay too much of Fashion Month.  Hours have been, and have yet to be, spent on Style.com catching up on all the shows.  Expect regular coverage from now on; I'm coming into the last six weeks of my university career and I'm trying to live up every single day.  It's my hope that my new resolve will be reflected here.

graphic life

Stephen Sprouse was an incredibly talented designer who was able to straddle the seemingly opposing worlds of labels like Bill Blass and Halston and the downtown punk scene of the late 70s and 80s with his innovative art and design that had both poles clamouring for his goods.  The above drawings, along with a number of others, are currently exhibited in a show called Jet Boy (the title of a New York Dolls song) in NYC's East Village.  These sketches alone make me want to wear the clothes and rub shoulders with Sprouse's dynamic crowd (spot Andy Warhol, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith, and more than a few others: they were the original scenesters).

I think I would get on pretty well with Karl.  And this has nothing to do with the fact that he designs Chanel.  (Also, the above is sourced from a sa-weet blog a friend of mine showed me...check it out.  It's the definition of swag.)

I'm really feeling the cover art for Cut/Copy's new album.  The music's not half bad either (i.e. put it on regular/singular rotation).

year of the hare

In a year of all things rabbit, I'm currently obsessed with this piece, the base of which is actually a school ring (how sick is that?).  It's available at Jonathan and Olivia in Toronto, a sound fashion reason for an overdue visit home.

The above is a love letter written by punk rockstar Sid Vicious for his girlfriend Nancy Spungen.  Although it is sweet and romantic, it should be noted that in the same year this list was penned, Nancy was stabbed to death, and Sid, who was suspected of the murder, died of a heroine overdose before the trial.  Nevertheless, this little note is a bit of a reminder to non-romantics like me that love doesn't have to be Valentines Day-cheesy.
