“[I] bring everything to be pressed at the dry cleaners. It’s better to use the press machine instead of an iron. It’s much more brutal and becomes much more mechanical … We ask for pieghe sbagliate! I love this! With all of the lines of the press like a grid on your jacket or pants.”
Love this breakdown of Ana Gimeno Brugada’s style by Fiona at Wardrobe Strategy. I’d love to see her on Bella Freud’s couch actually…! (more…)
I stopped following The Sartorialist a while ago when he started concentrating more on fashion industry influencers people than regular nobodies.
But I just came across this shot and realised the error of my ways. (more…)
This brief interview between Scott Shuman and Koto Bolofo is a rather wonderful eye-opener into the world of photo book publishing. Or to be more precise, the rarefied world of Steidl book publishing. I seem to have quite a few Steidl books, including the eleven-volume example that Bolofo refers to here.
It’s his series on Hermès, which came out in 2011, but I remember waiting two years for as the publication date kept moving! (I blogged about it here and here and someone recently emailed asking if I’d be interested in selling it. Answer: no thank you!) (more…)
I love this combo of long and long on The Sartorialist. We’re so used to the oversized boxy silhouette that this looks different and sweet.
I also just noticed the Vuitton bag. I’ve recently fallen back in love with the classic Vuitton monogram used in the most simple context and you can’t beat a functional cross-body bag.
I’m not sure of the name of that exact bag, but the Pochette Metis is similar in size and shape (and you can buy a separate buff-coloured strap).
