90's Grunge

Destruction has become a form of embellishment lately with 90's anti-fashion statements in the form of slashes, tears and anything else that gives clothing the depression-era vibe. Mismatched textures, oversized flannel, androgyny, Dr. Martens, crop tops, lightweight shirting, floral prints, layering, spider knits, faded denim shirts etc. . .keep it feminine you rebel.

Just Because...

These photographs put me in a good mood.

Fragmented

David Rockwell's installation Hall of Fragments at the Venice Architecture Biennale, featured an interactive work of art that reacted as visitors passed through. Rockwell was fascinated by what would happen if movement created architecture, while movement through space encompasses the viewer with crystallized, sparkling forms. This is just one of the many incredible creative endeavors Rockwell has taken on.  check out http://lab.rockwellgroup.com
