Oratory


We weren't supposed to go there, but the small wooden door was accidentally left unlocked. With slight hesitation and fear of losing the rickety floor beneath us, we traveled into the hauntingly unknown secret passageway, up the nearly impassible staircase and into a 108-year-old clock tower steeple that harbored an unspeakably enormous presence. It was like you could feel it breathing.... and will go down as one of the most exhilarating moments of my life.

Gunmetal Laces

The hillside was far more treacherous than it actually appeared, and even though I didn’t foresee clambering up and down the jagged terrain… my 8-year-old nephew (among others in our brood) got a real kick out of thinking I was some sort of neophyte Pink Power Ranger. Pity I left my blade blaster, metallic armor, and spandex suit at home. Not sure about spandex, but if you and all your friends want to start your own gang of crime fighting superheros, you'll need some matching outfits... something stylish of course.  (RTBU sweater, Topshop skirt and Emma Cook boots)

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 bloc...

Big Bad Socks...

A creature of habit, I attest to wearing certain shoes amongst other things... to death. Yes, I love these Mizrahi boots and this relic vest, I seriously can't help myself. And I couldn't resist buying this fringed bad-boy in brown as well! Taken in some random back alley, lined with boxes, crates, dumpsters, and only God knows what else... I tried to disregard the gang of manly onlookers, albeit the constant wolf whistles were somewhat distracting. All for the sake of fashion and photography...
