Sam age 12





















Today is Sam's 14th birthday.

We are going to a friends art opening, and then out to Thai food.

I wanted to bring him to hear some music for his bday... but i realized that he does that all the time.

He is like a little monk. he is calm and thoughtful. and still really confident and cool.

He is into the guitar and print making right now.

i love her. everything is deceptively simple. i read an interview where she talked about how she shouldn't need to go travel somewhere specifically to photograph, she should be able to find inspiration and beauty in what is around her. it's all in your perspective. every place is equally full of (or not full of) inherent beauty, it's all in how you approach it.

a film by Pascal Magnin



Reines d’un Jour (Queens for a Day) 26min, 1996 (Switzerland)
Director: Pascal Magnin; Choreographers: Marie-Louise Nespolo, Christine Kung
Distributor: Idéale Audience International

Spring in the Swiss Alps. Bodies tumbling down mountain slopes, picking themselves up, leaping through the air, running, jumping. Men, women, and… cows, caught up between Heaven and Earth.

Since 1994, after graduating from the Art School of Geneva, working as the first assistant director for many feature films, and finally directing commercials and short films Pascal Magnin, a Swiss filmmaker, has been directing his own films, and focusing particularly on the dance films. Among his most known works is a trilogy called GRAND ECART (PAS PERDUS (not lost), RIENES D'UN JOUR (queen for a day) and CONTRECOUP (backlash).

jean touitou interview

excerpt on the apc catalog:

MARY: The clothes look so simple, and if you can't feel the fabric …

JEAN: I know, but what can I do? It's a mail-order catalogue. But you're making a good point. In the beginning of the century some mail order catalogues in France had fabric swatches, and that could be a good idea. Very costly, but we could do that. I'd be happy to develop a service like this because really, I hate stores. I mean, there's way too many stores. You cannot walk the street.

French designer Agnès B was born Agnès Troublé in Versailles in 1941. After graduating from Versailles’s Ecole des Beaux-Arts, she soon secured a post as a junior editor at French Elle before becoming an assistant to Dorothée Bis. After a short stint working as a freelance designer for Limitex, Pierre d’Alby, V de V and Eversbin, Agnès B opened her first Parisian boutique in 1975. The shop, a former butcher shop complete with black and white tiling in Les Halles, housed a debut collection of restyled, cut and dyed workers’ uniforms and striped rugby shirts.

Agnès B was one of the first designers to tackle the "trend-setters" head-on. Producing simple and chic collections season after season - collections which she shows privately off-schedule at the Paris ready-to-wear shows - she refuses to equate design with intricate detailing. In fact, her signature style is best captured in the precise tailoring of a crisp white shirt and the lasting luxury of a black wool jumper. By 1980, the word had spread beyond her home country and Agnès B opened her first US boutique in SoHo, New York. There she showed all her collections - for women, men and children. In 1987, she launched her own perfume,"Le B," a skincare and cosmetics range and a maternity collection. She now also has shops in London, Amsterdam and Tokyo.

I really like the simplicity of these shoes. They are border line too hipster though.

rember livy's birthday table?

clogs

recently i have been thinking a lot about footwear. i feel like i want something basic, and everything out there looks too new. it's also important that my shoes are as sturdy as possible, because i am hard on my clothes and like things to last as long as possible, so they get worn in and completely mine.

i love my frye boots, but sometimes they are a little too clunky and i don't always want things that go up that high. i usually wear my plain white vans. but i think there is a new option.

clogs.

i'm pretty sure we originally called clogs as a joke, because we were laughing about how cool moccosins had become, and how urban outfitters was probably going to start carrying carhart coats any day (i still maintain that this will happen, maybe this winter). anyways, dansko clogs are the most utilitarian shoe because i think of them as a work shoe, since they are what servers usually prefer to wear. but i am starting to fall in love with clogs as a footwear choice.



lisa of le bouton (who we are in love with) wears an old pair here. she is also wearing some new trousers that i really love.

here is an old pair i found on a google search. i just love how worn in and beautiful the leather is.



















and here they are in basic basic basic black.

i have a fond spot in my hear for clogs, because for 2 years in highschool both anna and i only wore jcrew clogs, which were suede and wood. i loved them. i also had a pair that i wore all the time senior year. i'm wearing them in our pictures from when we visited rachel at colorado college. they were surprisingly warm and sturdy. they never broke.

this great store in brooklyn called bird was selling some clogs this summer. they went on clearance, so obviously they weren't that popular, but still. and i love the rachel comey clog heels.

maybe it's time for clogs again.

The article says that the creator of le vestiare de jeanne is the older sister of Jeanne and Clémance. She started at 18 by making clothes for Jeanne, and soon for Clé. She is in the process of coming out with one for adultes. Elle a 21 ans . impressive.
