Saffron Days

Can’t get enough of Lakshmi. This editorial is from Vogue India May 2009 and was shot by Jean François Campos. This is really making me want summer to start now.

Jane Roarty

Saw photos from this shoot styled by Jane Roarty at Black*Eiffel and thought I’d share. Amazing weather for this weekend in New York. Happy Weekend!

It’s Time To Dress

Lakshmi Menon’s editorial in Vogue India’s March 2009 issue caught my eye… This was shot by Prabuddha Das Gupta and styled by Edward Lalrempuia. Loving the color (holy saffron!) and textures against that distressed setting. See the full editorial on Edward’s blog here.

Johnny Miller Part Two

More Johnny Miller… this time you’ll recognize his work for Martha Stewart. I love how the work looks so different but you can still tell it’s him.

Johnny Miller Part One

Spied the portfolio of Johnny Miller and recognized his fabulous work for Kate Spade. Who doesn’t love a bit of retro collage? (via Armas Design)

Christopher Griffith

I loved these photos by Christopher Griffith for his new book, Blown. The images are of discarded tires collected along the major highways of America. The book is published in an edition of 2000 and is signed by the artist. Buy it for $75 through Dashwood Books in NYC. (via The Moment)

Purple Mood

I’ve been digging through swipe and found shots from last Spring’s Le Monde d’Hermès, featuring Lakshmi Menon and lots of vibrant purple. Love this color.

Sigh. Purple.

Eric Ray Davidson for The New York Times

I’ve been loving Eric Ray Davidson’s Fashion Week Diary over on the T:Style blog for the New York Times.

Good Stock

Loved the hard-bound books that Kim offers at Good Stock… going through the custom books is very inspiring. Loved the custom book she made for the man who wrote letters through his life and always signed them, “Always, James” … the bindings look so gorgeous as well.

It seems that soon, she’ll be offering totally elegant accordion photo books. I really loved the way she’s executed these books. Be sure to also check out the gorgeously designed book templates as well. (via Jordan)

Accordion books will be offered soon through Good Stock.

Bag Lady

Paolo Roversi did a gorgeous shoot for this month’s W Magazine titled Bag Lady … the color and lighting is so gorgeous. Loved.

Lane Crawford Spring 2008

Caught the images for this in this week’s JC Report and immediately loved the stark contrasts. With stores in Hong Kong and China, Lane Crawford is Asia’s leading luxury department store offering major fashion brands like Alexander McQueen, Galliano, Lanvin, Nina Ricci, Miu Miu, and Chloé. Some of the personalities featured the current campaign include Maggie Cheug, Fu Jia, Liu Ye, Du Juan, and Tan Yuan Yuan.
