New video for "Skeletons" which was written in a barn in Massachusetts. So eerie and beautiful.

Look. See. Watch: Parker Posey

Love her. My favorite Parker Posey films are Party Girl (1995), Dazed and Confused (1993), Broken English (2003), and Josie and the Pussycats
Buckle back. Hidden Wedge.

"Temp Nouveau" Plaza Watch Magazine
Plaza Watch magazine's "Temp Nouveau" features exquisite watches and jewelry while incorporating the ornate and floral stylings of the turn of the century Art Nouveau posters . The editorial features a write up on the father of the Art Nouveau style, Alphonse Mucha's (1860-1939) 150th birthday is celebrated this year, along with luxury watchmakers Tag Heuer, Chopard and Panerai.
Art Nouveau took its inspiration from nature and artistic sources like Byzantine art, Japanese woodblocks, the Arts and Crafts movement and Pre-Raphaelite painting. Alphonse Mucha, a Czech artist working in Paris, was called on to make a poster for Sandra Bernhardt, an actress that had taken the town by storm. His poster was the first production of the poster craze or Belle Epoque, which carried itself throughout Europe and the United States. The stylish romantic images' influence was also carried through into architecture, furniture, graphic, and commercial designs.
Here it is recreated utilizing modern photography techniques with illustrative composition. Pretty.

I especially like the white eyelashes and the color palette used on the eyes. The makeup was done by Uli Wissel for Uschi Rabe. View the rest of the set shot by Mierswa-Kluska.

Dear John
I love you.
SPRING COUTURE 2010
It's Couture Week in Paris and I couldn't possibly let it pass by without posting pictures from the Christian Dior show. John Galliano (head of the fashion house) is my all-time favorite fashion designer. Truly a visionary; I regard him as one of the finest artisans to ever grace the stage of fashion. He is well-known for his theatrics and over-the-top detailing. This show was no different.
After taking inspiration from a trip to the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum, Galliano's "eureka" moment came while viewing a photo of Charles James doing a fitting. On the wall in the photo was a Gibson girl sitting sidesaddle, thus inviting a new theme for Spring Couture.
Pat McGrath has been the lead makeup artist for the Christian Dior shows for some time now and she never ceases to completely astound me. The porcelain skin matched with deep ruby lips is always a stunning combination, over-the-top, as couture should be.
Attached in this post you will find the treasures among the troves of images taken the other night at the show, as well as video of the show in it's entirety. Hope you enjoy them.

"I was reading that, actually, it was Charles James who influenced Monsieur Dior to come up with the New Look," he said. "And then I was looking at a photo of Charles James doing a fitting—and on the wall behind him was a picture of women riding sidesaddle. And that was it!"

Already Warm
I feel like my favorite music lately is coming from Sweden.
My friend Paul introduced me to the electronic band, Little Dragon. I've been hooked since we shared ipod earphones at the bar, thanks Paul. The only show Little Dragon has booked in the US so far this year is at Coachella in April. Which, by the way, is such a good time; everyone should go once. The line up just leaked the other day, I'll attach that too.
