Bill Cunningham - 10/22/11

Your's truly with the man himself, Bill Cunningham.

Firstly, let me apologize for not posting since August. School and my job have kept me very busy but I am determined to write more often from now on. Now to get down to business....

I was fortunate enough to be photographed by the legendary Bill Cunningham outside the Manhattan Vintage Clothing show this Saturday. His humble nature and seasoned sense of humor made for a few minutes of enjoyable conversation about my purchase that day (a Dior Homme dress shirt from s/s 2002 - more to come on this in a future post). 

Jacket - Vintage from Another Man's Treasure / Shirt -  Vintage from 10 ft. Single by Stella Dallas / Jeans - Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche by Hedi Slimane

The Drums - Portamento Demos

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

My favorite band: The Drums. If you, like me, thought that their first album was the greatest thing since sliced bread, think again. Portamento, their sophomore album is set to be insurmountably full of musical brilliance, hip-swinging melodies, and deeply emotional lyrics. Just take a listen and see for yourself.

first look - alexandre plokhov f/w 2011

Remember my excitement-filled post on Plokhov's new collection a while ago? It seems that Park & Bond, a subsidiary of Gilt, is the first retailer to post some of the new collection's pieces online. Prices are a bit higher than most had been anticipating, however, are still reasonable for the products given their impeccable design and cut. The Elbow Zip blazer is currently holding the top spot on my wishlist.

These are from the Standard Hotel in New York City and its surrounding neighborhood the Meatpacking District. This is the hotel that has been known for having it's residents be seen, oftentimes naked, to people walking on the streets down below. I was surprised at just how many lodgers (and a maid) I viewed in the windows by standing on the corner of Washington and West 13th. Thankfully they were all some-what clothed.
