makes you want to design outerwear

I'm obsessed with my new camera

in looking back on these pictures I can see that they might not be that interesting to anyone but me in the moment. I kind of wish that I could get back into those trees to figure out the better/best picture to take. The second one is better, I think...but they both are super amateur-ish. Maybe cropping the top one would lead to a cooler image...

man in montmartre

une très bonne amie à moi told me about her esacpes to Montmartre, and how for her it triggers a feeling of escape and freshness without leaving the city. And then scrolling back through my pictures, I see this man who looks to share much the same feeling about the place.

this is the brush you hide behind while approaching... the bad guy's lair

knitwear

I can't stop thinking about knitwear- and everything I look at becomes a stitch or a treatment-
like the nets and chains and lines in the photos below- imagine it is a big pile of sweaters- or the boat hull covered in barnacles- that it is some kind of knubby yarn that you wear when it your bones are cold and you want to wrap yourself up in cozy

friends

I have been flipping through the little (small but THICK) Taschen book 'the north american indian' (Edward S Curtis photographs) that was given to me by my friend Sophia. I am looking for inspiration for the next collection. Sophia and I met while studying in Rennes, France, our junior year of high school. We reconnected in New York where she attended NYU and I attended Parsons. We have very different paths ahead of us- behind us- and even while we were in NY our lives were totally different. But when she handed me this book- such a silly little thing in the grand scheme- neither of us could have pictured me here, now, in Paris while she is in NY continuing her studies to change society, putting this book to use in a way that is meaningful to me and that I hope would be meaningful to her as the giver.

NANA's France

Terrible image quality. I'm sorry you can't see the original
Inspired to make a version for 2010...or 2011...it won't have Nana's beautiful hand
