beards and bears

jen and i went to a party at MAC for the infamously bearded walter van beirendonck and dirk bikkembergs, two belgian designers part of the antwerp 6 (demuelemeester, dries, etc.) MAC is such a fantastic store and the event drew such a great crowd of fashionable people- somewhat out of character for san francisco, it felt much more new york. lots of gay men in radical outfits- stilettos, back braces, short shorts, and many many beards. i even had a glass of prosecco! wooooo!!! their work is so much FUN- bright colors, shapes, textures. i'll post some photos of that soon....

walter is presenting his men's collection at the berkeley art museum tonight at 7, the first time he's showing in the united states! amazing!

they're on a boat!

any portlanders out there should be sure to check out caitlin, zoe, lewis & kyle's show opening in their new BOATSPACE this weekend! yes, that means art on a boat. but it's much more than that. i'd be there if i could, but they know my heart is there with them! congratulations, friends, can't wait to see what's next!

testing 1, 2, 3...

father/daughter

i was browsing una's blog (one of my favorite stores in portland) and came across tomoko igarashi's knotted necklaces! apparently her parents were both designers, her father, takenobu igarashi an influential and innovative graphic and product designer (below!) and her mother, keiko, working in textiles and housewares. don't you just love a creative family!?

friendship bracelets

thought id share my bracelets with you all today. caitlin brought me the marigold and orange thread-wrapped bangles from her travels in india! and dorothy brought me the maasai beaded bracelets from her travels in tanzania! i'm also working on some necklaces and bracelets out of some vintage embroidery yarn that i found the other day...and for a bit more inspiration, the adornments in their natural habitats:
