james jean and prada

By no means am I a high-class fashionita,
I own nothing that cost over $200 let alone $2000, but I do like to think that
I have an opinion on what I think is dope in the world of high-fashion,
and this. this I think is dope!!
Mostly because its a mix of awesome design and one of my favourite illustrators of all time
James Jean.

James Jean and Prada did a collection based around a bag in spring 2008.
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS!?!?

the illutrations are beautiful, the bag is stunning (although im not sure who would rock it?)

but the photo shoot looks pretty amazing also.
check it.


its all so dreamy and lovely and fairy-like.
The fabrics he designed are really intricate and amazing. All in for this 'wearing art' thing.

nice one Prada.


nice blog post here that goes into much more detail.

things i find.

so i was going through some old photos, because being the cheap arse i am, i have decided to get some photos and blow them up really big and give them to my dad for his christmas present.
but i gotta be honest. i didnt expect to find some of these...

what was i thinking this time last year man?


i personally blame alicia's fucking crazy ass parties for this effort
i do remember this being on my 21st..

so ive been watching james jeans work filter into Outre gallery on elizabeth st.
