Brooklyn cinder block


I want to tell you about Max Steiner, one of my favorite new designers whose visionary buoyancy sheds new light on his innate talent to see outside the box. When I was first contacted by Max, about a week ago, I did what anyone would do. I browsed his website. And as an artist, was instantly drawn to the various elements of his inspiring collections. Conceptualizing the simplicity of paper folding, Max tells me, "Folding paper since I was five years old has led to my ORIGAMI collection, one of my most popular. Working in an industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn has led to the development of the CINDER BLOCK collection." And the results are flawlessly executed. Not only does he incorporate an organic wearability through his architectural jewelry, but the fact that he does so with such an influential voice of his everyday surroundings, adds an extraordinary amount of intimacy that's hard to come by.
Thank you, Max for my rad new cinder block necklace. I sorta refuse to take it off! It's always fun discovering something with such understated complexity that you never knew you couldn't live without until the moment you did.

About the Artist: A native of New York, Max Steiner Design has been featured in The New York Times, Nylon Guys, The Chicago Tribune, Elle, and is available with several retailers.

Amazing post, baby! I'd been wanting to see you in that jacket. I love the texture of the skirt, especially in the context of the largely concrete background. I thought the boots looked pretty cool in the pictures, but they're way more amazing on you. The necklace is so cool...still excited to see it in person. And you're a beautiful girlfriend!!! And, of course, your writing is fantastic! This entry should have 23041980419483 comments.

Hey there Bella, nice write up. I like Max's jewelry a lot, but honestly the first thing I was drawn to was your big ring. It's a nice color stone set in silver, and big enough to have real impact.

Face Time with Red Wine

Through the looking glass of a little green Beetle... Unaffected, I paid little attention to the insufferable ambiance that lent a mere 22 degrees or to an audience of six casual observers who felt it mandatory to applaud the larking about of my camera love child. So we clambered into the cold steel of one such orphaned shopping cart and went on our happy way. Special thanks to the lovely Vicen for featuring me in LOOK 10 ... thanks a million sweetie!

A Harness to Hold Me

After months of insatiable cyber-stalking, I finally spotted the Sam Edelman vaulted wonders, and self-restraint immediately spider-webbed into an inextricable pursuit. A victim to the hunt, I admit, my initial reaction could easily be perceived as semi-ridiculous panic. Naturally, I called the momma bear. And even as her ritualized shopping excursion unfolded, she elicited a rather piercing squeal through the telephone receiver, which undoubtedly created a bevy of stares among the crowded grocery store aisles. Like a little devil perched high upon my right shoulder, she urged me to buy them… evidently an advocate to my daringly unapologetic platform fetish . A silent negotiation yanked me from reverie, and a minute later, Ben called verifying my bootstrapped harness wishes would soon be one among my closet’s legion. Maybe they’re just a pair of shoes , but they were going to mine… and when the e-mail confirmation deep-rooted his completely unexpected purchase, all he said was, “Well,
