Garance Dore has a wonderful blog filled illustration, photography and relatable girly text. One of her latest posts features Leelee Sobieski in an arresting Balenciaga dress just before the Adam Kimmel show. The harsh vertical stripes and collage tanagram pattern is beautiful throwback. It almost reminds me of a vintage print I’d find in my grandmother’s closet.
Rather than eat Thanksgiving leftovers or reminisce at high school reunions, we plowed through Paris this past week, documenting everything from street fashion to high-end homegoods. One reoccurring theme we found throughout every neighborhood was graphic-heavy tights. Regardless of age, district or outfit, women were sporting asymmetrical looks, transforming their legs into fierce accessories.
Applying this textured technique to Susan Woo’s Spring 2010 catalog, Geordie Wood‘s hand painted photos reveals the perfect balance between mixed media and fashion photography. Proving equally playful, these leopard print leggings for kids remind us why even the youngest Parisians are so chic. In predictably beautiful fashion, Garance Dore’s portrait of Tennessee Thomas, the drummer and vocalist for The Like, is sporting a gorgeous pair of Emilio Cavallini stockings. It wont be long before these bedecked leggings cross the Atlantic.
