Happy Friday, my dears! Here are a few things that have caught my eye this week:
1. Wolford back-seam stockings
These appeared in the September 2009 issue of Vogue Deutch. Fashion is fun, again.
2. Zipper details that brighten up black pieces
above: Double Back Zipper Leggings by David Lerner (Shopbop, $99)
Ponte Zipper Skirt by Silence and Noise (Urban Outfitters, $48 $29)
Motorcycle Sweater by Juicy Couture (Zappos Couture, $298)
Musical Debut Dress by LARok (Revolve, $278)
3. Making Friends With Black People by Nick Adams
L.A.-based stand-up comedian Nick Adams’ smart, humorous look at race relations in the United States. Adams’ attempt to bring all the colors of the Crayola box closer to racial harmony includes insider info such as this:
When you guys start using our words, that’s when we know it’s time for us to stop using them. Every time a white, middle-aged math teacher calls a student “dog,” black people all over the country are notified via e-mail.
4. The Fremont Dress (Modcloth, $49.99)
This dress is adorable and available for an incredible price.
MTV’s newest gem follows Jazmin, a twenty-something aspiring fashion designer, as she creates the first collection for her line Li Cari. Behold, the trailer for the series:
Jazmin was recently interviewed by W Magazine:
“[The collection] is, like, really versatile. There are pieces that you could see on a 14-year-old girl or a 50-year-old woman…I think my biggest influence and inspiration would be Coco Chanel because just, like, the cuts and the fabrics and everything are so, like, my personal style. And so it’s so, like, exciting to see all of her work and how she started with hats, and when I was young I started designing, like, sketches of perfume bottles.”
Um…right.
