PERFECT PICK: SAINT LAURENT ZIPPERED TOP SWEATSHIRT

$690 FROM SSENSE

     So  on Sunday I went to the Saint Laurent store in Soho (which actually caught me off guard because the signage had the YSL logo on it and put me under the impression that Saint Laurent was no more) and  after walking around the extremely minimal space with marble everywhere, I stumbled upon the mens section and THOUGHT I saw one of the first pieces Heidi Slimane did for the brand which I loved, but turned out to be a poo new season version I didn't like. Well VOILA, because of course SSENSE was reading my mind and restocked on the sweatshirt. It's so, SO simple yet utilizes the idea of a zipper in such an interesting way going across the chest, almost like a railroad track. I love it, and purchasing it will DEFINELETY be on my bucket list. BTW, don't forget to vote for me in the Mr. Porter Global Style Competition!

PERFECT PICK: INGE JACOBSEN ART

SO, I stumbled upon the artwork of Inge Jacobsen, and I must say it's probably some of the most interesting pieces I've ever seen related to fashion magazines. I've seen people do illustrations of magazine covers, collages but this is quite interesting and super intricate. She takes simple cover artwork and hand embroiders the image utilizng cross stitch methods to make a more textural version of the images she picks. Lets take this Beyonce Dazed cover for example.

and VOILA!
