SHAPE SHIFTING PART 2...

starting to see this a lot. T-shirts with the sides cut out.

PURPLE HAZE...

Rick from The Roasting Plant...inspired by his pink lotus tattoo.

ONE MORE PICTURE OF KEEGAN...

then it's time to call it a day.

THIS IS RICK FROM 'THE ROASTING PLANT' ON ORCHARD...

we had this great conversation about art-but I expect nothing less from someone with a lotus inked on their chest.

I USUALLY DON'T DRAW WOMEN'S A LOT...

but when I see a navy/white stripe French t-shirt dress I think it needs to be recorded. This is Kate on the J changing at Delancy for the F.

KEEGAN SINGH IS LIKE A DRAWING...

all crisp clean lines in black and white.

PETER: SHAPE SHIFTER...

You feel things change and then you see something like this and it all makes sense. Big shirts over skinny.

DAVID UNDER THE J TRAIN...

Waiting for the bands.

LANVIN DOES AMAZING THINGS WITH COLOR AND SHAPE...

These from S/S '10.

THE GUYS FROM BILLYKIRK...

Make great leather goods and are as charming as the Fabulous Baker Boys...

MORE S/S 10 VIA MY IPHONE...

Loved the casting @ CALVIN KLEIN. African-American guys in all black: Powerful!

Love pink and orange together at BOTTEGA VENETA. Reminds me of Chinatown colors...

SORRY PEOPLE. MY LAPTOP IS ON THE MEND (HOPEFULLY)

Meanwhile, in Milan and Paris, some of the looks I think are great for S/S 10.
The shape of this MARNI jacket is genius!

MILES, ON CANAL ST, IN A RED SWEATER, NAVY BLAZER...

on a green Vespa. Very Paris 1968.

THANKS EAST HAMPTON!

To all the lovely people, cute babies and well behaved dogs, thanks for making the day of sketching at the East Hampton J Crew such a fun day.

RICHARD HAINES FOR J. CREW HITS THE ROAD...

and is now at the J. Crew Liquor Store. Check it out...
(shout out to Annie Rourke for the pic)

GET ON YOUR BIKE, TAKE THE JITNEY...

do whatever you need to do to drop by J Crew-at-the-beach (14 main street, east hampton) this Saturday. I'll be sketching 12-2 and 4-6...

(this kinda looks like a catalogue cover, doesn't it?)

WENT TO SEE NARCISO RODRIGUEZ'S GORGEOUS RESORT LINE...

and we chatted while I sketched. I love Narciso's process of design-thought about shape, color, evolution from one season to the next. It's an artistic approach that I relate to.

Narciso's nominated for a CFDA's Womanwear Designer of the Year.

Big shoutout to NR!

CONTACT EASTERBLOC LIKES HIS SHORTS SHORT...

and his shirts 70's.

SHORTS TIME, PEOPLE!

Martin works his brights...

JI TAN (HAINES) WITH A CROWN OF BUBBLE WRAP...

that's my girl ;)
