Alexander McQueen’s final collection as shot by Annie Liebovitz. I thought the set design of this shoot was phenomenal – I love the message the storage crates communicate. Props, no pun intended (well maybe), Mary Howard for the set design.
The rain is pouring down right now as I type this. It’s close to midnight and the only thing suitable right now to blog about is the artist Goldmund, his album The Malady Of Elegance. Minimalist solo piano this is music for the ambient. To let play as you write, design, draw, paint or converse. It is just beautiful music without any sort of agenda. If you can just imagine the home you grew up in, and you know that dusty piano that sat in the corner of the living room? This is it’s song.
My favorite track is the opening track “Image-Autumn-Womb” – what is most attractive about this particular song is the way it’s recorded. I love how you can hear the clicks of the keys…
One thing I’m looking forward to wearing during the fall / winter season are boots, and much more specifically my Red Wing boots. Handsewn, the Wabasha boot by Red Wing combines durable leather and waxed canvas that is reinforced with stitching – this gives for a long-term wear. Unlike the typical work wear Red Wings that your dad might have these boots are designed in the like of a chukka-style; for a smaller guy like myself its a great look because they are not as overwhelming as most boots can be.

Roman & Williams is a New York City design firm that works on interior build out and design as well as exterior and architecture design.
Below is just a few of some of my favorite pieces of their work…

Season 4 to Mad Men has come to a close – the season finale was full of surprises to say the least, but I won’t spoil anything here. After LOST had ended I was comforted to know that I still had a full season of Mad Men to keep me occupied, but now that season 4 has ended what am I to do?
Photographer James Minchin III gives us a peak behind the scenes of our beloved characters in and out of character.

George Lewis, Jr.’s Twin Shadow is of the moment, so it is hard to classify as genius… yet, but with draws from Depeche Mode and The Cure I find it refreshingly sentimental and will be a great album for the fall / winter season.
The mood is nostalgic, the bass lines keep me intrigued, the perfect blend of synth and electric guitars are a bed for Lewis’ vocals that Bowie fans would fall in love with. Listen to my favorite track “Slow” from the album Forget.
Beautiful motion work by Sharif Studio for LOVE magazine for their iPad digital version. I think its safe to say that we will start seeing more digital issues for fashion publications from here out AND I think its safe to say that motion work will be a necessary against the still photographs. Now I just need to find some time to start perfecting my motion work.
