de niro’s performance hasn’t been this oscar-worthy since casino (2005)…

for anyone in paris this weekend don’t miss out on the colette birthday celebrations in the jardin des tuileries. having spent several magical years working with sarah, colette and the team, this time each year brings back such special memories and never fails to remind me of a certain rap song i wrote as a joke at 4am one morning when my boyfriend explained to me that there were several words that rhyme with the name colette. eh voila, weeks later i was in a recording studio singing THIS. file under: totally amazeballs souvenir from my time in paris.

how’s this for a pop souvenir? i’m going to let the photos speak for themselves on this one but in short, i’m still having flashes of these four-color pointillist prints that were actually claxton’s last-ever works to be exhibited. imagine one of these in your home? file under: be careful what you wish for, it might just happen.

the sublime pacific design center in los angeles currently plays host to a recently opened exhibit named “the total look.” the show’s purpose? “to explore the creative collaboration between rudi gernreich, peggy moffitt and william claxton.” when i first heard about the show i started to sweat (well, sort of). do yourself a favor and google each of the aforementioned names if you don’t already know them as they’re all icons in their own right. the exhibit experience started at the ground floor bookshop; check out taschen’s tomb-like ode to william claxton’s work via JAZZ. his portraits of miles davis and anita o’day are truly epic. and what about the select pieces from the 2004 comme des garcons x peggy moffitt collection? one of which left with me in my bike basket and i hereby swear right here right now no more impulse purchases until i get to melbourne in may…
