Mass MOCA at Berkshires
Sep.28.2010 11:42 Filed in: Inspirations
MASS MoCA is one of the most extraordinary museum spaces in terms of history, space, and art. It has more than 200 years of economic, industrial, and architectural development that maps the history of New England Industrialism. It’s located in North Adams, Massachusetts and is comprised of 19th-century factory buildings. The vibe in town is still very industrial, a little dry, but beautiful.

Sunrise

Yesterday morning, we caught the sunrise at Jones Beach around 7am doing our SS2011 shoot. Although we were running on 3 hours of sleep, it was all worth it. Below are some shots we didn’t use. The light during the morning hours were perfect. No photoshop needed.
And this is how cold the water is.

S/S11 presentation

Yesterday was great. We presented at the Gates with Sam n’ Jo’s help. Although our collection was small, Annie and I are super happy with it. We also showed the exclusive pieces that we designed for FashionStake. Our models are all so beautiful. They were either our friends or friend of friends. What can we say? We know beautiful girls, inside and out. They helped us out so much by doing it for free. Tsuyoshi and team, our hair and makeup artist for the past 3 seasons, also helped us for basically free. He ran here with his crew after a shoot and crunched out 8 beautiful girls in 1.5 hours. Myriam worked really hard to organize this event and make the presentation as close to our wishes as possible. Her aesthetics are definitely in sync with ours and we are super sad that she’ll be moving to London next week. Not only did we have help from pretty girls, Raul or dj Neon Rider made a mix just for our presentation. To all of our friends who came out to support us, we are truly grateful because we know a lot of you stood in line for a long time just to see our 5 min. presentation. All in all, Annie and I love you guys and can’t thank you enough for all the unconditional support and love.
Thank you.

A 'lil sketch

I sketched this right when I got out of Parsons. The reference was either ID or High Fashion Magazine. Can’t remember. I wish I had all day to think about nothing and sketch. Maybe sometime soon =)

In LOVE, more than you’ll ever know. The wood paneling is amazing. And the rest of it almost looks a little Japanese to me with the obi like waists and pairing of fabrics. But wooo, that lime green, it’s like Jill Sander running in the woods. Did I mention...AMAZING.?!

WOW! Look at how awesome this is. Unless you have a family or cooking for a party, why would you need a full size food processor when you can get a mini one!? Thank you cuisinart for thinking of city dwellers, bird-eaters, dieters, and singl-ers I must get a green one. WEEEEEE!

Sketching, is my favorite part of designing, next to seeing the actual sample come through. Sketching allows you to go crazy with your creativity. And that’s where a lot of designer’s personality comes out. Not only is it fashion, it’s beautiful illustrations or paintings. Below are some of my favorites.

Being a Kid.
Sep.14.2010 10:42 Filed in: Musings
When we were very little, I remembered playing with wooden toys that were in colored shapes. I think you had to put them in the corresponding holes of a wooden box. As we got older and became just ‘little,’ toys became mostly plastic, such as Legos, Fisher Price kitchen sets, and cabbage patch kids. The only wooden toy I remember now is Jenga, and that is still one of the greatest games ever...sober or not. I can never imagine what it is to be like a kid growing up in a digital world. Do they still go out to playgrounds as we did? Run around, unsupervised, to the park and play pirate ship on slides with pebble rocks as water? Do they still build tents out of grandma’s sheets under big office tables at home and get in trouble? Do they still play hide-n-go seek and hide in the laundry baskets. I hope they do.
So, it’s really nice to see toy makers still in existence, especially crafting wooden toys that will last forever.
