The Sonya Rykiel knit dress is INSANE! Also, Alexander McQueen is the best...that table is crazy. Oh and Etro campaign ads are some of my favorites because they always push the limits.

ReplyDeleteI love the spirit of this post. The Etro campaign is great and I'm amazed by the modernity of Melvin Sokolsky's photograph. Don't know if Tim Walker takes some of his inspiration from Sokolsky but they have a close universe. xoxo, MG.

ReplyDeleteMaison Martin Margiela is always so surreal - I never know what's going on! But I really like the sideways(?) Chanel handbag. It kind of makes you take a second look to see if it was really made that way. Love it! (:
