Love Made Visible

The work of Tra Selhtrow is so lovely. Lots of detailed ink work and fantastic color. I am especially digging his work for sale, namely one of his new art prints: Jonathan Climbing Out of a Hole. The illustrations of cormorants are especially nice as well. See more of his work on his blog: Naked Napkin. Beautiful stuff.

While leafing through the July Vogue, I was delighted to see that André Leon Talley wrote about the lovely Rachel Roy. Her work is so gorgeous, lots of great shapes and flowing fabrics. She is slated to open her first flagship downtown on Hudson across from Nobu in the fall. Can’t wait.

Some really beautiful and inexpensive serveware are available at West Elm. These hammered serving pieces caught my eye. Love the texture and the quality of the reflection the surface gives.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Roshen & Jeena Mathew on their marriage. I’m back from Dallas but swamped again. Hopefully I’ll be back later today. Pictures to come soon on Flickr. Edit: Pictures now up here.

Neha posted on Sepia Mutiny about finding designer Rashmi Varma. So glad she did! Oh lord the clothes are so gorgeous. Modern western clothes utilizing the traditional types of hand embroidery and embellishment found in India. Gorgeous stuff. I’m off to a wedding in Dallas… be back Sunday. Have a lovely week.

I have been coveting these limited-edition art prints by my favorite ceramicist, Eva Zeisel (in collaboration with Klein/Reid) ever since I saw them online at Apartment Therapy… A few weekends ago I was delighted to be able to see them in person at the Cooper-Hewitt (across from the entrance of the gift shop) and fell in love with them all over again. After lots of pondering about the purchase I finally went ahead and bought one! (Magic Language #2!) So excited!
