HOW CRAZILY AWESOME ARE THESE PRINTS? The fighting octopi (“Octopus Games,” 1840-42) are my favorite, though really anything ukiyo-e master Utagawa Kuniyoshi does is absolute magic. The c...
Lately, my sartorial habits seem to be gravitating toward a look that can only be described as “Country Western One Night Stand.” I think this has to do with my newfound obsession with ch...
I won’t say much about this, other than that it’s for a soon-to-be-completed project, and I now have a hand cramp and one less gel pen. If all goes well, I’ll show you guys the fina...
Given London’s fickle weather, it’s little surprise that young British designer Christopher Raeburn was the one to turn the tarp-like raincoat into a jacket that is to-die-for-cool. Using...
One of perks of Jake working in Myrtle Beach is that I now have a yearlong beach house. So once it was warm enough (read: early April), I headed down to the South Carolina coast for a mini-vacay. Set...

Mads Teglers fears no kitsch. Ceramic cat figurines, beaded curtains, toy dolls, bubblegum pink boleros festooned with lime green beads and layers of fringe… Teglers welcomes all these things w...

Blacklights. Voguing. Junior Boys. What more could you ask for?
I’m not one to advocate Dov Charney’s perv factory, but this American Apparel striped pullover is the best thing since sliced bread. It’s made from this thick cotton blend, and give...
Hitchcock meets Miu Miu. Cut-out from the heavenly “Little White Lie” in the March issue of Elle, ink-drawn sparrows from Miu Miu’s spring show, Scotch tape.
I want to like Koma’s fall collection, but I literally cannot see anything but Charlie Brown and dinosaurs. Every zigzag and trimmed triangle just makes me think of Peanuts and dinosaur eggs an...
If you couldn’t tell already, I like lists. So it’s little surprise that I enjoyed the Guardian’s “Ten Rules for Writing Fiction” survey. Inspired by Elmore Leonard̵...
“We Still Got the Taste Dancin’ On Our Tongues” by Wild Beasts. No idea what the music video is about, but when do you ever, with Wild Beasts? Also, I know nobody over the age of 13...
Back from NY Fashion Week! Yes, it was wonderful, and yes, we were all stressed out of our minds, and, yes, I’m already looking forward to Spring Fashion Week in September. I won’t rehash...
Whew! Finally done packing. Exhausted my entire Ratatat collection in the process; head now full of synthesizer beats. Have to get to bed soon — catching a morning flight to New York for the tail end...
