Damir Doma's aesthetic has always captivated me. His work mostly consists of black, white or grey print with bright pops of color intergrated in. He uses draping, exaggerated silhouettes, interesting details, transparency. All these design elements I can see mirrored in my own work. Oki-ni, the online retailer, has just released an archive of Doma's work and it is truly amazing. I wish i owned every piece of this collection; the shoes, the airy cardigans, the exaggerated moto jackets, the slouchy drapey hooded cape! I want it all! See it all here.

PARIS

The Louvre Pyramid, Moulin Rouge, Shopping Day 1, Salade Nicoise,
Courbet's The Painter's Studio, NICOLAS wine, The EIFFEL Tower.

In honor of Samia coming back from Paris,
and the fact that i need to take a mental break from all this school madness;
PARIS pictures because i miss it so much!

A.F. Vandevorst

I just found A.F. Vandevorst's spring 2010 collection and i dont know how i could have missed it! It's such a solid collection, with all the key spring trends; transparency and underwear as outerwear, very prominent throughout. It also has notes of MARGIELA in there as well no? It just had to be added as on of my favorites from spring!
