Charlotte Gainsbourg, Take II

Charlotte Gainsbourg finished her North American tour at Webster Hall. I went to see her again, duh. The second time around was even better than the first! She seems to have gained confidence from all her performances. She even plays the synth now. Charlotte wore a slinky white tank with Balenciaga pants; she's kind of perfect:

Next up: Kings of Convenience in the Theatre of the Living Arts in Philly on June 1st. Then La Roux at Terminal 5 on June 7th. Excited!

Everything is really good right now, after some rough patches. Annual Parsons Benefit is tonight at Chelsea Piers. It's like college prom, except way better.

Collection handed in. Presentation on Wednesday at 2pm sharp. FINALLY!

Thesis Shoot

I don't think I've had a crazier day than today ever. Seriously.

The photo studio (Alex Ho), hair & makeup (Mallory Schlau), model (Hannah Sobisky of DNA), and moral support (Camille Wong) was booked for 12pm. I woke up early to sew a belt for my piece, then went to the factory to pick up the coat, which of course, wasn't ready until 12pm. Then ran back to Chelsea to pick up the rest of the collection. Then ran to photo studio for the shoot. Got there around 12:30pm. I had several ulcers along the way of course. So much running around, texting, waiting, texting, calling, running, schlepping, multi-tasking this morning.

But the best part was, the shoot. The model was perfect. Everything was beautiful and amazing. Seeing the clothes in motion really made it all worth it. It was the most rewarding experience by far. Seeing this vision in my head almost a year ago evolve and truly come to life is beyond what words can describe.

So happy and a big thanks to Alex Ho and Mal and Camille and Hannah today.
