First Lady, First Vintage - Michelle Obama Wears American Designer Norman Norell
via the Huffington Post Lovely photo, lovely family, lovely dress. Plus, super cute Christmas elves!
Wonderful, sculptural shapes. As for the photography, the Sandberg photo is lovely. In the last photo series it seems to me that the waif model with the long hair is a distraction, the antithesis of letting the pieces speak for themselves. It would be interesting to see these garments in person, to feel the weight of the fiber. I'm also a fan of the fiber/leather combination.

Waving On
(Backstage photographs of Shao Yen's Central Saint Martins MA collection by Alex Sainsbury for Dazed Digital) Playing around with Matthew Harding/Topshop's sculptural top in the snow yesterday reminded me of the white-out, neutralised class of MA graduates that Louise Wilson turned out at Ce...
What a lovely photo remembrance!

Wow, I agree with everything you express here. Thanks. I would add that the way we express ourselves also depends upon our audience. If we are in work situations, those people who respect social norms often become quite important, and it's tough to stay true to our own expression while still making the sale, so to speak. Also, it's funny how ripped tights and docs used to be the statement of the nonconformist, but now it's so acceptable as to be almost a uniform. Anyway, I struggle with the same issues of self identity as I get older, so it's nice to see them so well spoken.

On Being Age-Appropriate
What does it mean to be age-appropriate? And should we care? Since I've been losing weight, I'm having to do a bunch of clothes shopping. Which means I'm having to completely re-think what kinds of clothes I want to wear. The kinds of clothes that looked good on me when I was fat just don't any...
Nice! I do love the wooden jewelry. And the smocked sleeves? Genius!

Into Africa Ca Ca
When I was in New York to document Benetton's A/W 10-11 shoot with the It's My Time winners, I got talking to one of the finalists from the UK, Soraya, who is half Ghanian and half Jamaican. I found it fascinating that she went back to Ghana quite a bit to buy up artisanal local jewellery as we...
