The Saint Laurent movement is quite authorative these days. Last year I’d have stunted any attempt at justifying the catastrophic overhaul at YSL, but today I am jumping on the bandwagon. That whole 60s mod thing is my thing. I am so… READ MORE
Ever since I got my Gucci boots and the black patent Prada loafers my winter has been about short A-line tunic dresses and cropped cigarette pants. It’s a relentless sixties moment, and there’s a few designers who have made sure… READ MORE
I don’t know if this was a trend-related incident or not, but somehow three different designers managed to come up with almost identical wool uniforms. Celine, Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney each made head-to-toe knit suits that ranged from retro to… READ MORE
The plan was to drive to Joshua Tree in the morning on the 28th of December, shoot all the funny vintage pieces I had pulled from Sielian Vintage and The Way We Wore, spend the night, and wake up in the middle of… READ MORE

The Master and Margarita is one of the most influential books of the 20th century, and my second most favorite read of all time. It was written, burned and rewritten by Ukranian author Mikhail Bulgakov from 1928 until his death in… READ MORE
