step by step Hermès

missed these lovely Hermès scarf tying cards on ebay...

don't believe what they tell you

an understatement
to say i am
obsessed with
textiles and fiber arts
as well as
liberty prints
(it would be
an understatement
to say i'm obsessed
period)*

the february issue
of so-en
nearly
made me
spontaneously combust

is dedicated to
japanese textiles
from mina perhonen
to chihiro tanaka's
sublime fiber art lights
with a special
feature on the liberty...

obsession list:

swatches of
textile history
from mina perhonen ~check

border stripes galore~ check


way over the top headpiece
opera gloves and
layers of useless ruffles
~check check check

liberty print tights


issey miyake.


matohu
from start to
finish


swoon worthy
sweetness
from
cherir la femme
&
franche lippee

light couture


and for
liberty print
overload

the entire
magazine.

Tigeorges benefit

There's an awesome tiny Haitian resto in Echo Park
called TiGeorges' Chicken. The owner George Laguerre
will be hosting a benefit dinner tomorrow evening starting at 5 pm.
All proceeds will go directly to relief efforts.
If I can get out of bed, I'll be going so hit me up.
Here's a cute photo from the LA Times
