Oh Annie,

It's a little disorientating to work in the fashion industry because it's always thinking ahead... or at least trying to (though sometimes I feel like I'm going backwards). I forget what year it is. Right now in my mind it's Spring 2012, yikes! Finding inspiration might be the most challenging thing I have to do, which is sort of why I started this blog, to give myself a kick in the pants to keep my brain going. And at times, I have to remind myself to just have fun with it and not take myself so seriously. Which is why I was thrilled to discover ANNIE LARSON'S online shop. I especially love her TEXTURE work.

Knitta Please!

I've posted bits about Magda Sayeg before on various outlets of the Internet. I think it's safe to say her work has grown into a little obsession of mine. Some of you may have seen her work at the new Standard Hotel in NYC. She gracefully combines the granny craft of knitting with street art (wow!). The term "tagging" usually doesn't mean embellishing a surface in an aesthetically pleasing manner, and graffiti has a very masculine tone. Ms. Sayeg seems to counter act several connotations city by city around the world. I've been "stalking" Knitta Please's URL for the new site to appear, and finally my efforts have paid off. She is one über talented artist, and hopefully I can volunteer to be one of her guerrilla taggers. Check out her scarves too!
