(JUST KIDDING)

(MAYBE)

I GIVE YOU SCENES FROM A LOVE STORY

WRITTEN BY ANNA AKHMATOVA

CA NE TOMBE PAS PARFAITEMENT."

FALL THINGS #2 // poet vagabond hats

I FOUND THIS HAT ON ELIZABETH ST.

IT'S BLACK WOOL AND  FOLDS INTO 

A SMALL DRAW-STRING CASE,

SOLVING ALL TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES.

IT'S CALLED "POET" AND IT REMINDS ME OF:

STEPPING OFF A STEAM TRAIN 

WITH AN OLD TRUNK IN AN UNKNOWN COUNTRY

IN-TRANSIT TO WHERE?

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET SOMEONE

AT THE PLATFORM BUT YOU WERE NEVER

GIVEN A NAME

AND SO YOU SIT ON THE PLATFORM BENCH

WATCHING THE TRAINS GO BY

[YOU OPEN A COMPACT AND TOUCH UP YOUR LIPSTICK]

THINKING TO YOURSELF:

THE PAST IS GONE

AND YOU SMILE JUST A LITTLE BIT.

I WAS WALKING BY THEORY TODAY

SHEEPSKIN JACKET

WHITE CABLE KNIT SWEATER

TURTLENECK + CHECK PATTERN BLAZER + LEATHER MINISKIRT

I LIKE THE SOFT AUTUMN COLORS OF THIS ENSEMBLE

BUT I LOVE THE SUBTLE 60's ALLUSIONS EVEN MORE.

LILAC DREAMS // on board in an old shipyard

ONE OF THESE SUMMERS

I'M GOING AROUND THE WORLD

IN AN OLD SHIP.

UNTIL THEN,

THE LILAC IS A 1933 U.S. COASTGUARD

STEAM SHIP THAT SERVICED LIGHTHOUSES

UNTIL THE 1950s.

NAUTICAL LIFE + FASHION

WHILE I WAS TOURING THE LILAC, FURTHER NORTH, OPENING

CEREMONY WAS HAVING

A SHOW AT PIER 57 FOR NEW YORK FASHION WEEK.

"FASHION IS IN THE SKY

IN THE STREET

FASHION IS IDEAS,

THE WAY WE LIVE,

WHAT IS HAPPENING."

THE CIRCUS // nyc

AMUSEMENT PARK
(OR CITY CIRCUS)
CENTRAL PARK 7 SEPT. 2013 CE
MUSIC: EDITH PIAF "LES HIBOUX"

EMILIO PUCCI // starved for windows

I WALKED DOWN GREENE ST. TODAY, 

WOOSTER ST., PRINCE ST., SPRING ST., AND MERCER ST.

I WAS CURIOUS TO SEE IF ANYONE 

(LIKE SAINT LAURENT PARIS, APC, CÉLINE, CHLOÉ)

HAD DONE THEIR WINDOWS FOR FASHION WEEK.

BEHIND THE SCENES: RETAIL WORKERS WERE RE-ARRANGING DISPLAYS 

IN-STORE, DECIDING WHICH BAG SHOULD GO WHERE.

EVERYONE WAS AT LINCOLN CENTER FOR THE SHOWS,

IT WAS LIKE THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.

BUT THE WINDOWS WERE EMPTY.

MAYBE IT'S A NEW YORK THING

(OR LAZY?)

BUT I LOVE A GOOD DISPLAY WINDOW.

MAYBE IN NEW YORK IT'S MORE OF A

"I KNOW I'M GOING TO BUY THIS

BECAUSE I SPENT 1 HOUR GETTING HERE

AND OH GOD I NEED COFFEE"

MENTALITY.

I DON'T LIKE IT.  I LONG FOR WINDOWS LIKE THIS ONE,

EMILIO PUCCI (FLORENCE)

I TOOK THIS DURING PITTI UOMO/PITTI IMMAGINE 2013.

IN EUROPE, THERE IS AN ART TO THE DISPLAY WINDOW.

IN NEW YORK...?  I DON'T KNOW.  

BUT I'M NEW TO THE CITY.  

... SHOULD I BE LOOKING ELSEWHERE?

FALL THINGS // september is here

I CAN'T WAIT TO BURN THESE

WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS

AND I FEEL LIKE CURLING UP

BY A CAMPFIRE

TO HEAR STORIES

OF ADVENTURES

(AND MAYBE BEARS).

DON'T YOU LOVE IT WHEN YOU CAN SMELL

THAT CAMPFIRE IN YOUR CLOTHES FOR

DAYS?
