Love Made Visible

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.

Jade from We Dream in Colour sent me a preview of her new enamel collection and I loved all the color. Especially in those earrings! The delicate necklaces are so perfect and will look great with the season’s floaty dresses.

See the rest on Jade’s Flickr. Watch for updates on how to buy on Jade’s web site.

When my friend Jina told me about Meli & Angi, I was absolutely floored. Jina was also kind to remind me that they baked the cookies from her wedding and I immediately remembered the deliciousness.

The precise lettering is so amazing. Check out the monogrammed cookies they can make for weddings! Total icing perfection.

Racked.com spotted an unnamed collection of images hanging out in the press room on Target.com. Based on the fact that Richard Chai was just announced as the next designer, rumors abound that this might be the collection. Could it be!? If it is Richard Chai, color me excited! This might be the best yet!

LOVED these graphic large scale patterns from the Spring 2008 line from Marimekko. Seriously. Can’t you just see a classic Marimekko shift dress out of that pink fabric? Please, someone? Make one?

(Even though it’s not quite the same, I’m also looking forward to the H&M / Marimekko collaboration that’ll hit stores this April.)

Something would be seriously remiss if I didn’t mention the work of photographer Rodney Smith. Lately, I’ve seen it popping up all over the place. This work is some of the best I’ve seen in a very long time.

Take care to go through the archives and view his prints for sale. I’m currently coveting this one.
