Found these pictures and nearly died of happiness. Self explanatory? I think so.
Happened upon a photography exhibition by a visually impaired artist named Aaliyah Kamal at Zenzi this weekend and found her stuff just stunning. Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything about the photographer or work online, which is a real pity but I’m going to keep my eyes open. The exhibition ends tomorrow.
When I first met Akshat in Goa over New Years, I had no shoes (from partying too much), when I left he had no shirt (from partying too much). So naturally I thought he was a total dreamboat straightaway and then I discovered that he’s a brilliant photographer as well. Lots of street art, architecture, amusing and pretty things from basically everywhere, I’m betting I’d be completely jealous of his passport. Hmph.
This is one of my favourite photographs I’ve ever taken and this is one of my favourite poems, which I rediscovered the other day while surfing this lovely blog. I’ve recited it aloud probably fifteen times since. E. E. Cummings is magical.
So like I’m styling now! Strangers have been like ‘Are you a stylist?’ (I think it’s cos I wear MC Hammer pants) and now I flip my hair and I’m like ‘Why yes I am, how’d you know?’ It’s like, brilliant. Speaking of which I love these editorials – Vogue China, etc. Much needed inspiration today.
Diya Sarker is a beautiful girl and talented art director I just met. She lives in Bombay in a one bedroom studio, which Neville and I visited inebriated post midnight last Friday. I was in awe. Beautifully lit with fairy lights and Robot Chicken on her macbook, she has art and her own prints everywhere, a blue mural in her kitchen, lots of lovely possessions and a great selection of reading material. Two very cute street cats keep her company when they please.
I love Wayne Tippetts’ photography blog. As far as street style blogs go, I shan’t be bothered with ones that feature only middle aged men in bespoke Italian suits with pocket squares. Pssh. Wayne’s on the other hand is full of lovely, light, creative styling and good looking guys and girls. And he’s a very talented photographer.
So you don’t have to wear this in the future.
Although I secretly love it. Bio-Accessories was on display at Melbourne City Library (my library!) and was the brainchild of designers Ben Landau and Brittany Veitch. Described as ‘an effort on the wearers behalf to green their own personal space’, this collection was part couture, part social commentary.
