mad for love.

"true, we love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love, but there is also always some reason in madness."

-Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

j'aime the 90s supermodels.

so i have a minor obsession with all of the supermodels from the 90s.

linda, cindy, naomi, christy, helena, karen, stephanie, tatjana, claudia...any and all, i just love all of them.

i don't think any models could capture the 90s like these ladies.
they were the true essence of glamour in the 90s and they worked it.
and their still doing campaigns and editorials to this day.

-> definition of a
true supermodel.

and this is my dedication post to them.

cindy crawford, tatjana patitz, helena christensen, linda evangelista, claudia schiffer, naomi campbell, karen mulder, stephanie seymour. vogue. sept '91. peter lindbergh.

stephanie seymour, linda evangelista, claudia schiffer, christy turlington.

linda evangelista, cindy crawford, naomi campbell, christy turlington strutting to George Michael's Freedom at the iconic finale of Gianni Versace's show.

linda evangelista, naomi campbell, christy turlington.
speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil.

stephanie seymour, christy turlington, naomi campbell, cindy crawford, tatjana patitz.

happy birthday laaaau!!!!

can I get a caddy from the caddy ranch?

so i found out some really cool info recently, there is a Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo,Texas on the famous Route 66.

being a cadillac fan I found this to be extremely cool.

there have been many myths to how this unique installation began but the true story lies here.

Texas millionaire, Stanley Marsh 3 whom refers to himself as "eccentric" invited a San Francisco group of artists named the "Ant Farm" to help him out with his property west of Amarillo.

the group purchased ten cadillacs from various junkyards, models from 1948 to 1963, at the time these beauties only cost $200.

the cars were hoisted nose first along the west side of the highway.

the cars were meant to represent the "Golden Age" of American automobiles.

the project was complete in 1974 and began attracting people worldwide.
the original colors were turquoise, red, banana yellow and gold.
of course when people started coming to see these cars they began leaving their marks, however, Marsh didn't and never minded people leaving a piece of their trip with the cars.

To this day he says, "we think it looks better every year".

check out the cars below, their pretty cool.

Stanley March at the Cadillac Ranch, 1981
Cadillac Ranch located west of Amarillo on Route 66, south of I-40 between exits 60 &62.

undisclosed desires.

such a sexy title for a song.

by one of my favorite bands- muse.

i love this song.

the vid is below.

enjoy.

our relation to fabric.

"How I've wished I-we- could be a piece of material, made into the perfect garment. But alas, we will always be stained, wrinkled and constantly in need of tailoring."


i LOVE this quote, its from the book I'm reading- The Dressmaker by Elizabeth Birkelund Oberbeck.

so f*ing cool.

hussein chalayan is so damn cool.

this guy defines the collaboration of fashion and technology.

he is the future.

he is a graduate from Central Saint Martins and was creative director of TSE until 2001.

he has struggled financially but managed to overcome through his country's funding and other designers lending him a hand.

he re-vamped his company and has been successful since.

JUST WATCH THESE VIDEOS.

be prepared to be AMAZED.

he makes victorian hemlines disappear-seriously.


his latest S/S 10 collection, so chic.


and this was his exhibit at the Design Museum in London.


those crazily morphed draped dresses and LED dresses have me oozing for more.

:)

the jetson's live in rio.


just kidding.

its actually the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

the architect is Oscar Neimeyer.

he has been an architect since the '30s and designed some famous buildings, including the United Nations in NYC.

although I don't agree with his political beliefs, I respect him as an artist.

and I found this very inspirational quote from him that I think any artist/ designer could relate to :

"not the straight angle that attracts me, nor straight, hard, inflexible created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve, the curves that find the mountains of my country, in the course of the winding rivers, the sea waves, the body of the woman preferred."

happy birthday mermy!!

happy birthday mermy!!! I hope you have an amazing day!

and since your going to need a wall for your birthday I decided to give you the coolest wall EVER.


:) rage on babie!!

my favorite picasso.


this is my favorite illustration from Picasso.

its called étreinte which means "embrace" in french.

made in 1901, its in the musée Picasso in Paris, France.

i got the postcard of the illustration from museo Picasso in Barcelona, Spain.

that museum is SO beautiful and so big, you could almost get lost in both the size and beauty.

of course my camera was lost when I was there but my friends managed to squeeze some pictures in.

unbeknownst to the guards of course :)

either way if you're in Barcelona you should stop by this museum, but if you're in Barcelona on a Sunday then definitely stop by because its a FREE entry :)




when's the last time you've been to a museum with a palm tree inside of it?
