Grizzly Bear performed at Town Hall this evening, and they were amazing. Duh.
I want to marry Ed Droste:
Chris Taylor and my husband on guitar: Ed Droste and Daniel Rossen:Chris Taylor singing his heart out: They performed most of the tracks from Veckatimest, just released this past Tuesday, and Knife, and Little Brother and others. The a capella bridge during While You Wait for Others was the best part of the whole show. All amazing stuff. Nico Muhly was lurking in the dark behind a grand piano too.
I sat second row from the stage and soaked up every second of the show. Ed Droste's singing sent chills down my spine several times. Love love love swoon swoon swoon.
Currently Listening to: Katie Herzig & Matthew Perryman Jones - Where the Road Meets the Sun
Some pictures from an amazing week on Shelter Island.
Renée and John's beautiful house (I love that fan): This amazing dish and lid we found at a yard sale for $1!My infected and very itchy cut from scraping the shells while riding the current at the beach: 1960's Chevy Impala I drove: Ridiculously huge steering wheel and dashboard:Around town:I'm a bit sad to be back in the noisy city, but look forward to being back to CK on Monday.
Hopefully I'll get to take new pictures of the super-cutie not-quite-babies soon. Had such a great weekend with them, as always.
I know this is terribly overdue. The Junior Mini-Thesis Show was a success. Our entire class worked so hard and it all showed; the faculty was very impressed with the level of craftsmanship that turned out. They're holding high expectations for us next year.
Some of my personal favorite collections that made it to the top 40 in the auditorium on mannequins. It was pretty official with the nameplats and spotlights and mannequins:
Melissa Marcial's menswear inspired by sleep patterns: Sam Green's very versatile collection jump-started from Schiele:Maria Robla:Lauren Greenland's architecturally draped collection (I want it):Leslie Jones'. The center dress is layers of cotton with cut-outs (amazing):Finally, my first child, inspired by, Zaha Hadid's Chanel Mobile Art Pod/Modernism vs. Post-Modernism/Industrialism/Whatever-the-hell-else-I-felt-like-doing: Look 1: Blazer - sunblock vinyl with steel Bemberg lining Tank - cotton ottoman Pant - cotton twill with steel poly-lycra panels
Look 2: Pushed side seam and shoulder seam dress - Steel and white cotton ottoman with full cotton lining Bag - Croc skin embossed lambskin leather
