charlotte gainsbourg is floating her melodic french vocals our way with a new album, "IRM." i love her music, her, and her bedroom full of garment racks (someday my bedroom will be filled with garment racks. then, perhaps, i'll actually know what i own.). these photos are from an interview she did with flaunt magazine.
so i've just recently started writing for a new la-based music/fashion magazine called "covers." i'm quite excited about it, and really love what they do: creating issues discussing music and fashion based on a certain style/genre/band each issue. i wrote for their jazz issue, and, of course, found a way to tie in my dear ysl. click here to check out my article, "le scandale" - i'd love to hear what you think!
they did some amazing photo editing...i'd love to have a poster of the center image with their coloration. oh, what a dream he is.
Saks released their new Chairlift music videos today featuring the band frolicking about Brooklyn in Marc by Marc Jacobs.
This clever move by Saks is sure to create some buzz as they style the whimsical graphic tee's, colorful stripes, slouchy boots, and A-mazing bags on the very hip and still, sort of, underground band of hipsters. The 4 videos feature different looks on all 3 band mates and a running ticker at the bottom divulges what each is wearing.
Only slightly cheesy, I'm sure this video will have the teen set dying for the twee, Peter Bjorn and John meets Karen O sounds of Chairlift that go perfect with Marc Jacob's more whimsical and young diffusion line. In the days of experiential marketing, Saks is showing some market savvy.
Personally, I'm dying for the Petal to the Metal Sasha Shoulder bag. The black leather with exposed zippers and heavy hardware is still grungey enough for fall, but is sweetened by the swallow clasps that are reminiscent of rock-a-billy tattoos. Again, dying for it.
