more leanne love...

My Philadelphia team spirit (and last night's World Series clinching game) prevented me from seeing last night's finale of Project Runway. But because I can't wait for the re-run, I already know who won but won't spoil it if you haven't seen the episode yet. Just had to share a few images from Leanne's show whose former Etsy shop I posted about last week.( I doubt she'll be selling her pieces through Etsy now!) The colors and of course, the details, are just stunning.

um hello

totally making a book lamp now.

Maya Deren.

'Deren's second experimental film, At Land (1944), reinforces her interest in the juxtaposition of anachronistic spaces and introduces a critique of social rituals. This film begins by reversing the natural rhythm with images of waves breaking and descending back into the sea. Starring again, Deren is seen climbing up a dead tree trunk on the beach, magically emerging onto a table where a formal dinner party is in progress. This 'civilized' world ignores Deren as she crawls along their dinner table. By depicting herself as invisible to the diners, Deren highlights the myopia of the guests. The dinner sequence in At Land ends with an enchanted chess game. A pawn falls from the table and descends back into the dead wood on the beach, it falls over rocks, into the water and is washed away over the waterfalls. Chasing the pawn, Deren is restored to her original landscape. - Wendy Haslem'

still adore Maya Deren's works.

begining to like them more and more

such a great idea!

"Bonus points: I also keep a little notebook filled with magazine clippings of images to inspire me while shopping. This can be updated to be a photo album on your iPod, but I still like my collages. I might post some more."

this is so cute. i need to do it. so much easier then having to turn my camera on and off each time.

I LOVE THIS.

I remember seeing one of these tees on Mary Kate Olsen a month or two back and just a couple days ago a reader of mine pointed me in the direction of the woman who makes them, Raquel Allegra. I tried it out last night and was able to recreate the same 'shredded' look on a small scale. Very small. It took me forever too. Now I get why they're so expensive, haha.


If I make any more progress with this or find an easier way to make them, I'll let you guys know. :)

i love this, i may attempt to do it myself, although i assume it would take an incredibly long time. my interest in fashion has grown immensely. and i so want to take fibers.

Ana Hagopian, a jewelry designer from Barcelona. Her pieces are so delicate and remind me of fruits and flowers (doesn’t the above necklace look like raspberries?! *slurps*)
