the queen is dead. long live the queen.

the sad news is just now circulating...  Alexander McQueen is dead at the young age of 40.  McQueen was found dead at his London home and Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

who am i to write a eulogy for someone who has changed so many lives and the fashion industry as a whole?  would Gareth Pugh been so well excepted if Alexander McQueen hadn't been there to pave the way? 

i am going to do an Alexander McQueen illustration now i guess.  man, im really sad.

Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2009

black and blue

and gold all over.  here;s another lil ladie i drew... i dont know about this look in the end tho, i mean, i know it;s cute, but i feel like it could use some more texture.  maybe a pair of these!

haha working on another now, but im also working on some jewelry and doing some pattern making so, i dont know if the new one will be done tonight....

eyez

there is a really great movie my photographer friend Rene Micheli lent me called Eyes of Laura Mars.  i defs recomend it!  its a slasher movie with Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones (young Tommy Lee Jones oooh yes) that is about a fashion photographer who starts to see murders as they are happening thru the eyes of the killer.  the costumes are amazing, and it is also pretty cool to see manhattan in 1978.  so different than what it is like now!  soho?  try don't go, ho.  haha

photos are from the internetz

anyway, adam and i were talking after i watched it, (he was very proud of me for watching a scary movie) and i was telling him about the young Tommy Lee Jones.  this is the path of that conversation:
Tommy Lee Jones
Tommy Lee
Tommy Lee Gifford

and then adam made these (cause he's amazing)

yeah, so ah, i lied

hey! friends! you know how i said i was leaving brooklyn and going to philly?  well, they say there is a lot o snow coming and i got scared.  the truth is, i dont want to die.  yk?  i dont think that is that bad...

so

i was able to work on my new illustration!  huuuzaah! i made the ensemble on thursday, which explains the name... i think this would be a perfect weekday outfit.  it is very chic and not try hard at all.. i am obsessed with any (every) type of harem/jodper/drop crotch pant out there and this psir from Oak is no exception!  unfortunatly (or fortunatly for my wallet) they are sold out.  so i just get to draw them. i hope you enjoy it!  i am working on another one now, so i may have it done before i head over to the neon indian show at market hotel tonight.

clothes, i make em!

hi!

so i know i have very vaguely touched on the fact that i am a clothing, jewelry and accessories designer.  my line is called i still love you and at the moment can only be found at Topstich Boutique.  i hope to expand soon, look into manufacturing and all of that terrifying stuff, but at the moment i am making everything by hand and each piece is one of one.  that's right ladies!  get an i still love you original and know for a fact that no one else in the world has that article of clothing!
