I am not really a fan of Wilco but I am totally IN LOVE with this poster for a concert they played in Kansas City - totally fitting for the location. It is by <a href="http://mikeyburton.com/">Mikey Burton</a> and his work is just mind blowing. He does everything from posters to book cover illustrations to print ads. I just love his design aesthetic.<br />
<br />
Check out more at his <b><a href="http://mikeyburton.com/">WEBSITE</a></b> (I totally dig that poster on the site's main page) and you can buy his work <b><a href="http://mikeyburton.bigcartel.com/">HERE</a></b>.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07209687618052484436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4224185753828406758.post-64758797037398502882009-11-20T13:10:00.002-05:002009-11-20T13:10:00.291-05:00photographer: sune czajkowski<div><br />

There is such a beautiful 60s and 70s vibe to his fashion compositions and an Ansel Adams vibe to his landscape shots. I am in lust. <br />
<br />
Born in Copenhagen, he grew up in Denmark and West Africa and currently lives in Paris. His client list is most impressive. <br />

The author and artist, Sophie Blackall describes the project as such:<br />
<br />
"Messages in bottles, smoke signals, letters written in the sand; the modern equivalents are the funny, sad, beautiful, hopeful, hopeless, poetic posts on Missed Connections websites. Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I'm trying to pin a few of them down."<br />

Lately I have had the fortune to be introduced to some fabulous new music and bands. <a href="http://musicgomusic.com/">Music Go Music</a>, hailing from Los Angeles, is but another example. Their sound is, well I am not sure if I would call it reminiscient or a tribute to the stylings of ABBA, but it is fun and full of life. And I am unashamed of saying that I enjoy a good ABBA song.<br />
<br />
They are currently touring with Franz Ferdinand, another favorite group. This is a definite download for me.<br />

<br />
According to the <a href="http://musicgomusic.com/">band website</a>:<br />
"Something must be said here about the music itself. Music Go Music make pop music but, fortunately, the term means very little these days. What kind of pop music is it? Rock and Roll, Disco, Metal, Boogie, Trans-Hand, Psychedelic? How does it work? Perhaps this will mean something:<br />
<br />
As we move through life, there is a "curtain of fantasy" with which we cover a murky reality, a curtain on which we project a clear and comforting image of ourselves and the world. The slightest shifting of it fills us with dread. But imagine that the curtain is raised to reveal a more profoundly resonant version of what was on it in the first place a "Technicolor" reality. So enchanted are we by this scene that we fail to notice the second, dark curtain in the background.<br />
<br />
Music Go Music's immediate plans are to continue to make music that's visual and funks. Hopefully we will meet you where you live."Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07209687618052484436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4224185753828406758.post-13068681176301282282009-11-17T11:33:00.001-05:002009-11-17T11:33:00.200-05:00destroy by rankinSo wish I could be in London for this exhibition.

<a href="http://musicispower.youthmusic.org.uk/">Youth Music Week</a> organised by children's music charity Youth Music is in full swing at the moment and to celebrate Youth Music's a10th Birthday, they have teamed up with <a href="http://www.rankin.co.uk/">Rankin</a> to ask 70 musicians and visual artists to effectively 'destroy' their own portraits taken by the iconic photographer, and create original pieces of art. The stellar roll call of names includes Joe Strummer, Ian Brown, Marianne Faithfull, Andre 3000, Michael Stipe and Kylie Minogue as well as bands like Pete and the Pirates, The Enemy and The View, inspired by <a href="http://www.dazeddigital.com/search/Rankin">Rankin</a>'s son Lyle and his love of music. <br />
<br />
Most of the portraits have been 'destroyed' by the artists themselves.<br />

Four words - - GLOW IN THE DARK!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QEnEl8ChmIM/SvRAxOJQH1I/AAAAAAAAAR4/R6lehyH-xyo/s1600-h/diesel-flash-for-fun-collection-09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QEnEl8ChmIM/SvRAxOJQH1I/AAAAAAAAAR4/R6lehyH-xyo/s400/diesel-flash-for-fun-collection-09.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
These are definitely calling out to me. I have a thing for dragons lately. <br />
<br />
The collection, developed by Diesel's creative team headed by Creative Director Wilbert Das, was created for those who play hard day and night, 24 hours non-stop, without taking the time to change in between. A special fluorescent coating, devised to be glaring under UV lights, is layered on denim and cotton. Through this treatment, Flash For Fun pieces are discreet during the day and reveal extremely bright details and stitches at night, presumably at clubs. On denim, hidden graphics are revealed under black lights. Graphics are visible when exposed to darkness thanks to UV lights. Stitches and back patches appear on denim when it’s dark (so go party in them!) together with the distinctive Diesel pocket stripe, presented in a dedicated acid color version. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(from <a href="http://www.nitrolicious.com/blog/2009/10/22/diesel-flash-for-fun-collection/">Nitrolicious</a>)</span><br />

Her line, called Eyola (Aloye backwards!!) is comprised of designs that are full of old world romance and decadence along with a true modern spirit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QEnEl8ChmIM/SussWR7il2I/AAAAAAAAARI/PNmZGty8RT8/s1600-h/33.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QEnEl8ChmIM/SussWR7il2I/AAAAAAAAARI/PNmZGty8RT8/s400/33.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
According to her website:<br />
<i>Eyola takes inspiration from the opulent style of the Victorian era with a contemporary twist. Each collection takes the form of Octettes which comprise of eight individually crafted and distinct designs each with their own personality. The number eight is relevant primarily as the figure ‘8’ reflects the hourglass shape created by the Victorian corset.<o:p></o:p></i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>The bold colour palette is found throughout the Octettes- this was after all the era when famous chemist William Perkins discovered brightly coloured dyes. Most of the garments are available in a chosen bold colour or in a shadow version of a more classic shade. Each design is limited to a run of eight in a particular fabric or colour.</i><br />

So I think Neiman Marcus has finally gone off its rocker. Every year their Christmas Book catalogue is filled with unique and sometimes weird gift options for people with some serious disposable income. <br />
<br />
OK, so the life-sized replica of Luke Skywalker's X-Wing fighter was definitely, well interesting, though the Star Wars fan in me at the time thought it was the coolest thing. But one could rationalize that it would make a wonderful lawn sculpture for the many incredibly wealthy Jedi Knights out there.<br />
<br />
The of course there was the year where they had a jewel-encrusted train set for under one's Christmas tree. And I do mean jewel-encrusted - it was covered in diamonds. rubies, emeralds and sapphires. <br />
<br />
But this...well this really tops the cupcake. <br />

I still have the antique Madame Alexandre doll my mom gave me when I was ten years old, it was once hers, along with all the handmade custom clothing that was made especially for the doll by an employee of my grandfather's when my mom was a girl. <br />

Then there are the <a href="http://www.kouklitas.com/">Kouklitas</a>. These beautiful creations by Andrew Yang are amazing works of art, but the fun part is that they are meant to be played with.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">According to his <a href="http://www.kouklitas.com/">site</a>, "The Kouklitas are a line of 27” fashion rag dolls conceived by New York City based artist and illustrator Andrew Yang. The name originates from the Greek word for doll, koukla. Each doll is cut from a pattern, sewn into muslin, and meticulously stuffed and attached by hand. The faces are all hand painted, and the dresses are created using luxurious fabrics and couture sewing methods. After a doll is completed, she is named and given a story."<br />

<br />
I really wish I could have been in Paris to see this in person. Here is how Garance described it:<br />
<br />
<i>Sublime. A true study in weightlessness. No use trying to describe it for words could do no justice. I loved the circular mise en scène, loved the Ariel Wizman soundtrack, loved getting a glimpse backstage - so happy, so fresh, loved seeing Guy Bourdin shooting in a shopping cart.</i><br />
<br />
<i>But above all, I loved the saturation of colors, smiles, the memory of these years of freedom, where provocation was a game, where sensuality overflowed with humor and no one was afraid to shock.</i><br />
<br />
Watch it<b> <a href="http://www.garancedore.fr/en/2009/10/30/oh-que-cest-beau/">HERE. </a></b><i> </i>And I am definitely going to have to learn more about Guy Bourdin.<i><br />
