Galliano is a genius. Lacoix is looking good too, and as always karl being karl is pretty rad (he went with seashells this season!)

start off strong and see the full Christian Dior couture collection here.

hit up style.com for all those other amazing feats of fiber and volume.

art jail: SOLITARY CONFINEMENT pt.2

December 26th, 2007 by derya

it is still on.
equal opportunity a-hole is totes what i am.

no family- no friends- no break

no one gets to see me save hobby lobby employees and the mail lady- if she’s lucky.

but call me, i totes have phone privileges in this joint.

as far as progress, i have several pieces started, working on all of them little by little pretty much all day, and i will start posting as they finish themselves.

some brainfood for thought?

*is it worth trying new things, branching out aesthetically and in terms of medium and focus, or should i just stick to what i know and make things that might blow your mind, but not really expand mine.

*age old debate, less designy more fine art? or heavier design and argue the fine art element (not functional not practical not addressing a problem except the lack of chic stuff) later

*also what’s the point of functionless, strictly chic, conceptual design pieces?

*what’s the point of changing out of your pajamas if you aren’t going to leave the house?

*what’s up with my eyes being so ka-razy light sensitive?

*butternut squash ravioli, a little mozzarella, and regular ragu tomato sauce?

what do you think? tell me. we can talk all this over, on the phone.
