I absolutely love these images by graphic designer, Alberto Seveso.

Simple, Beautiful, intricate, complicated. They evoked a serious emotional reaction from me.

Angela Kohler (director of those adorable kindle ads) collaborated with "A Fine Frenzy" on this cute stop-motion film that is very "Alice in Wonderland" and impeccably designed! Hair is by Kristen Ess, follow her on twitter for all sorts of hair tips and tricks! #KindaSortaWantRedHair

Record Club.

Record Club: Velvet Underground & Nico "Heroin" (Alt. Version) from Beck Hansen on Vimeo.

Beck's sweet little side project. Love the cover of the door's "Heroin"
"Record Club is an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day. The album chosen to be reinterpreted is used as a framework. Nothing is rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track is put up here once a week. The songs are rough renditions, often first takes that document what happened over the course of a day as opposed to a polished rendering. There is no intention to 'add to' the original work or attempt to recreate the power of the original recording. Only to play music and document what happens."

Mr. Brooklyn, Noah Baumbach, Director of the Squid and the Whale, Wes Anderson bestie and overall intriguing film maker has created a film, Based in LA. Yes, LA is having it's shiny moment in the spotlight as a cinema darling. I am pretty psyched to see this mostly because it's a New Yorkers perspective on LA (ahem familllliar). Also it is scored by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. WORD.

Sites to Check Out 2.23.10

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:38:00 +0000

Unurth DOT com: Global Street Art from LA to Taipei. Well designed blog, well curated, always a good read.

Kickstarter DOT com: A fundraising site for your idea, film, project, business, whatever. You sent goals, offer incentives, and track your results. The projects are super cool from a low budget wedding chapel in the lower east side( Pledgers of $100 got a free 1 hour slot) to a road trip adventure. I am currently racking my brain for something to pitch.

Feast @ NBC DOT com Another foodie site. The site uses a ranking system using an algorithm based on reviews from all over the web—from the Times reviews to bloggers spits out a number, ranking every restaurant in the city anywhere from Dicey to Epic. Rankings change daily based on current news, reviews, etc. It's brand spanking new and needs a few tweaks but I think it will be a heavy hitter among the YELPS and ZAGATS of the world.

Non Plus One

non plus one final from Tracy ANTONOPOULOS on Vimeo.

To know me is to know my Schwartzman obsession and my Coconut Record Obsession. To know me is to know my fashion obsession. To see these two things together? I DIE.

In celebration of Opening Ceremony's s/s collection
"To celebrate the grand opening of our new Ace shop, Humberto enlisted friends and budding directors Gia Coppola and Tracy Antonopoulos to create a short film featuring friends of O.C. Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman. Kirsten and Jason, who are decked out in recent arrivals from O.C.'s S/S2010 collection, share a sweet and playful chemistry, very artfully captured by Gia and Tracy on this nostalgia-inducing, vintage-feeling montage. "We were influenced by 60s New Wave films and my uncle's house," said Gia. Jason lends both acting and musical talents for the short film, which features the song "Is Sound OK?" from the Davy, the most recent release from his musical project Coconut Records. Expect more from these two talented directors in the next year: Gia recently graduated from Bard College, while Tracy is finishing up at NYU's Gallatin School. Check out the video here!"

Huffer Spring 2010

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:45:00 +0000

With the recent addition of NZ women designer Kristine Crabb, the HUFFER brand will create a heavy presence in American fashion culture. “I wanted to make some really beautiful, strong pieces that were simple and practical in keeping with our modern aesthetic. We’ve drawn inspiration from the cutting techniques of the 1920’s and 1980’s and mixes well with the natural easiness HUFFER has in their womenswear.” – Miss Crab.

I dig the big bold shoulder looks and the Bunchy Skirts.

Available @ 80s Purple starting next week!
