+Grimes+

 

Grimes is doing it for me these past few days. I love her creativity and versatility. This video reminds me of Japanese anime. Supposedly she was very inspired by comic books and Tarantino- who also bases a lot of his films on anime and Japanese cinematic expression. The pink-haired girl is this friend of Grimes, who is supposedly a really dynamic person. The type of person, Grimes said, you are kind of afraid of, but you still like being around.

Enjoy!

Chicago was also a grand success. We made some really wonderful connections, including these guys from Munie. Jeff and Louisa Munie were a delight to get to know. Check them out. Their bags will amaze you. Handmade and beautifully designed.

Hello Chicago!

So my day is a bit busy putting everything together for above event. Renegade- a curated selection of modern makers, creators, movers and shakers held nationally and internationally (there is even one in London) full of crafters, artists, and creatives. I feel pretty honored to be in it this year- especially since I applied on a whim and didn't even think I'd get in. This is one of Renegade's biggest markets too. It will be along Wicker Park, and there will be so many beautiful things to see and buy and creativity galore!... I can't even wait.

So come on down this weekend if you'll be in Chicago. Saturday-Sunday 11AM-7PM. I know it's going to be fabulous.

Style Sheets: Henri Matisse

Collaboration with Jessica Williams of Kate Spade and The House that Lars Built. Check it out here.
Henri Matisse is one of my favorite painters. Besides the fact that he is French (and you know I love everything French), I love his work. I've also seen loads of Matisse in Paris at the Louvre, MOMA, National Gallery of Art in DC, and in random spots around the world. His figures and colors are just beautiful and expressive and unpretentious. My first encounter with his paintings was when I was about 7 or 8 and my friend Caroline in Virginia had a big print of his red fish painting in her house. And just last year, when B and I were engaged and traveling back to DC and New York to see my parents, I saw the original in the MOMA.  And it was kind of one of those moments where I was like, where did I used to see that all the time.. And then a wave of smells and images and Caroline and her mom who was so artistic and wore quilted vests came back in an instant. And I remembered.
