LOOKBOOK.NU

Real cute girls, real cute boys, and really affordable looks. Good style comes outta being broke, being in high school, and being young. Loza asked me to join lookbook.nu and since then I have been pretty hooked. It is the new Sartorialist. No lame comments from Scott Shuman but really quirky one-liners from people all around the world.

Here's how it works: You take a photo of yourself all styled up in your Sunday's best or Thursday's worst.
Then you submit the "look" and tag it. You tag what it is you are wearing, where you got it from, how much it costs, yadda, yadda, yadda. You then get your look posted to your country's page where people can see you. If people like your look they click "HYPE" next to your name. If you are are "HYPE", you rise to the top. If not, better luck next time.

Girls and guys in major cities like Swizerland, Holland, Paris, Berlin, and not-so-major cities like Albany(!?), Torrence(!!!!???), and Ohno (I have no idea where that is) all contribute. You can even search by brands and categories. The best part or at least my favorite part is that they all submit their own photos of themselves. Some of the photos look like something straight out of a magazine. Stuff looks like it could be from Nylon, Fader, or even Teen Vogue. Original. Above are some of my favorites (from today) because if I forgot to mention they change rapidly and you are only allowed to post one look per six hours. Not like I tried to post more or anything, just an FYI.

KAWS and Ralph

I went back to the Kaws exhibit with Ralph. It took on a whole other dimension. Here a handful of the silly pics.

I was most impressed by the black on black painting at the top. Pretty flawless.

One of the larger paintings sold to Pete Wentz for $40,000. All the paintings got sold for no less than $25,000. There were about ten paintings.....You do the math. It is kind of crazy to think that less than 15 years ago he was tagging railroads and Calvin Klein ads.
Clearly I am in the wrong profession.

Enjoy the holiday weekend. xo.

American Boy

As part of a look book I am creating I somehow got into a Google war with Sophia about who can find the best images of of Paul Newman the fastest. Your probably thinking, "Jaymie, you really need to live a little larger," but in a short time I was into it. His look is what the Gant's, J.Crew's, Tommy Hilfiger's, and POLO pony hustlers try to re-create season after season. He is the man-muse for men. Paul Newman, always.......

EDITION UNISEX

Woman like man's clothes, woman buys man's clothes.
Man likes soft comfortable fabrics, Stefano designs man's clothes in soft comfortable fabrics.

The formula has always been there it just needed to come to life. There are still a lot questions unanswered about this new sub collection. Like, where is it going to be merchandised? How is it going to be marketed? What is the price point? And we all know women love to dress a bit like the men but do the men really like to dress a bit like the women? Stefano has confessed many a time that designing for men is easy, but it is designing for a woman that is always a constant challenge. The solution? Transgender dressing. The result? Gold.
