some knitting inspiration from the guys
i love the color & silhouette of #1
but i could do without some of the braided 'dangles'
however, they are fun as part of the scarf in #2


also loving some of the elements
& of course, the color palette
of kris van assche's collection

..............view larger to see the exquisite details


my favorite is the dress draped from a single piece of fabric
which i've always wanted to do
& the cocoon-like sweater
i have made 1 & i love wearing it --kind of like an oversized shrug


*ok, i love style.com for their fashion show coverage
.........but, is it really necessary to call a trend 'depression chic' ?!
.........does this bother anyone else ?

proenza schouler pre-fall 2009

the duo reimagined their uniform of cotton t.shirts and Levi's
as sequin tees with zips up the back and stretch corduroys.



. . .sounds perfect to me
since i'm usually sporting men's cotton t's & tanks (as a base layer), & Levi's

i'm also loving their use of texture & the muted color palette

i'm in love with these shredded jersey pieces & t.shirts

i've seen this before
& want to try it myself
i think it's a great way to recycle or reuse
all of those men's hanes & fruit-of-the-loom t.shirts that are in my drawer


& while i'm talking about t.shirts. . .
