Brooklyn Circus Lookbook

Loving the new lookbook from Brooklyn Circus featuring a lot of hand lettering by the crazy talented Jon Contino. Gorgeous photos and illustration throughout. Typography is so beautiful… and that quote is one to live by as a designer. (via FWMJ)

Cardon Copy

Jordan posted today about her friend Cardon Webb whose exhibition, Cardon Copy, is at the Type Directors Club right now in NYC. I loved the typography so much… I also noticed that some of the posters seem to be from my neighborhood in Queens!

From his mission statement: “Cardon Copy, takes the vernacular of self-distributed fliers and tear-offs we have all seen in our neighborhoods. It involves hijacking these unconsidered fliers and redesigning them, over powering their message with a new visual language. I then replace the original with the redesign in its authentic environment.”

Fifi Lapin’s Rose Dress

Loved this rose dress on Fifi. Be sure to check out Fifi’s shop for prints of this and her other outfits.

Fifi is always impeccably dressed.

Louise Fili

The insanely talented Louise Fili has just launched her new website and has updated her portfolio to include lots of her newer work. Needless to say, it’s totally gorgeous. I especially loved the identity she designed for the restaurant Bedford Post. (pictured above) The typography alone is gorgeous and the postage stamp illustration is so beautiful.

Also launched is a blog which is sure to be a new daily read for me! (via Jessica Hische)

Identity for Bedford Post is based on an illustration of the owner's grandfather.
