Here are my latest finds and news from style, fashion, design and beautiful living.
• Maybe it’s because I’m enjoying fall so far and these evoke that perfect autumn feeling, or maybe it’s because old school fashion illustration is so beautiful, but the fact is that I am thinking of buying one of these vintage Hermès prints to frame and put on one of the shelves in my home office.
• Without a face: a series of works created by Erik Madigan Heck, focusing on the back of the garments, erasing the face, and offering a different perspective on the standard fashion shoot. “So much of what we see today is concerned with the face — with celebrity, with the politics of a person and their endorsement. I wanted to refocus our attention on the most basic elements of what I believe fashion and art are truly concerned with — color, form, texture, and seeing into a space beyond ourselves. For me, fashion is merely another mode to understand our relationship with beauty’s transcendent qualities.”

Yes you must get one of those Hermes prints – they are very stylish! I love that WIthout A Face series, and totally agree with the concept of face/celebrity taking over – totally refreshing. I watched the Chanel video yesterday too- a modern retelling of a classic tale. and I’m going to add vacuuming to that one minute workout list! 🙂 I’ll watch those links to Peter Lindbergh and Franca Sozzani later tonight too! xx
Wonderful selection of links, Ada! And thank you for the interview – this somehow escaped my radar, so I am off to read it straight away.
Loving those prints, too. They feel so calm and beautiful and will definitely look amazing framed.

Ah the Hermes Prints are amazing!
The cover of Sharp Suits is awesome! Or should I say dapper?
I was viewing the Without a Face images just this morning as I sat at a café. I like this project very much. There was a Lanvin image that I fell for and bookmarked.
The Hermès prints are wonderful. I completely understand that you want one for the office!
