i have not been impressed with denim lately. Prps denim, however, is a must have this summer. available at shopbop.

each piece is designed for function before fashion, and they take note to be authentic in their designs- from cut and color to paint stains and denim rips and frays.

African cotton is used with Japanese construction to create these covetable items :: love love love the shorts.

i love Halston's revamped brand. classic, clean, layers layers layers.

the accessories however, take on an entirely different life on their own. love.

:: especially these Clou black suede boots.

available at Net-a-porter.

space ::

Maison Martin Margiella's exhibit ‘Mat, Satiné, Brillant’ in Milan is a creative instillation of a genuis view on space and architecture as the designer's name transcends into a lifestyle brand.

:: the display features prototypes of products (i.e. the boot mold- amazing), concepts and the typical style of the brand reminiscent of the headquarters, retail locations and over-all aesthetics. 

this installation is just another way to express creativity, and unlike most designers Margiela still manages, after 20 years, to do this without being outlandish and in the public eye. amazing.  

:: always under the radar, his site takes a similar approach: check it out here.

Quote from press release:

"Maison Martin Margiela introduces its concepts of interior architecture through an installation, ‘Mat, Satiné, Brilliant’, which recreates the environment and atmosphere of its interior design workshop using a variety of creative expressions of the Maison’s identity and philosophy."

-via Dezeen.

:: note :: nervous that Margiela may be leaving/has already left the company. critics believe he's long gone.

Compose ::

a play on the classic bound composition book with black and white pattern and wide ruled paper, these 100% recycled composition books bring me back.

before i had learned to write, i was a writer. or so I'm told. i used to carry around a composition book writing random letters across the page, filling out an entire page of absgjuyphnugtty and asking my mom to read it to me, she would find "it" and "cat" and "as" :: i thought i was a genius.

100% recyclable leaf paper designed by Willoughby Design. these stylish versions of the classic are meant to make the recyclable version of the classic appealing to consumers. they will be available at Target, Office Depot and Whole Foods in the near future.

covet ::

i have loved alex and chloe for awhile now. their collections have moved past trendy (but still covetable) pieces to time withstanding collections. their transition has landed them numerous editorial spreads, tv/video cameos and collaborations.

check out some of my new coveted pieces below ::

oxidized bahaus ring, 10mm, triple diamond studs from :: the black diamonds collection.

10mm and 5 mm versions.

button pendants in sterling silver, oxidized silver and 14kgold from the :: objects de base collection

spike earrings in oxidized silver, inverted diamond ::from the black diamonds collection.

the entire new tar collection is ridiculous :: from rabbits feet to shells and crosses, i'm finding it hard to pick a favorite. although the triple keys below might be it at this minute.

triple brass keys.

if you know a&c's work then you are familiar with their mirrored acrylic takes on current iconic figures (i.e. their Kate "the only moss in our woods" necklace and their dripping coco is dead necklace).

so tell me...how is hello drama doing this?
