and I'm so bummed
I missed chanel mobile


I peeked
through a copy
of the mag Chanel
produced for the NYC
exhibition and really dug
all the full bleed photo
spreads shot by
lagerfield.


...good b&w photos
for the young vagabond
to tear out and hang in a
temporary residence or
in a new empty apt.

broke.

know where I
can find a copy?

part II





I have this great desire
to dress 19th c victorian.
But do it minimally





I would wear long skirts
and lace-up boots
with a simple
blouse



The key is to
do it in a way that
doesn't make it look
too historical or like
a period costume.

weekend retreat





J. Morgan Puett gets it.




she is site sensitive.

she reinvents historical fashions.

and she takes a great interest
in working people's clothing
from the 1900-1930s.
