Obsessed. I have been following the infamous Carine Roitfeld as she continuously surpasses the bars she sets herself. In her latest issue, no. 5, of CR Fashion Book, she features Beyonce in the most artistic version of herself and the whole shoot deserves some serious praising. 

I love imagery that not only illustrates fashion to drool over, yet more-so when it's interpreted as a piece of artwork. It combines the two together to do just that and really sets the magazine/book apart from anything I've seen. Yes, even Vogue. Each photo was better than the last and I can honestly imagine, and predict, these hanging at some future exhibition down the road much like Mario Testino's are now. 

If you don't know about CR Fashion Book- check them out. The best way I can describe it is in their words:

"a celebration of fashion and creativity, irreverent in spirit and timeless in style a platform for groundbreaking styling, photography, and features from the most celebrated creators in fashion and art, as well as a new guard of rising talent a place to discover intriguing people and inspiring imagery, constructed around each issue’s specific theme an innovative format that combines the collectible aspect of a book with the energy of a carefully curated fashion magazine..." -CR

{Graffiti wall as you pull up}

I cannot process that we are now in August! Anyhow busy as ever- but was inspired by one of my favorite designers, Steven Miller, during our meeting yesterday at his showroom, The Nwblk.

How I've never been here before? I do not know. But I was impressed. My brain pretty much functions as such : From utterly obsessed to uninterested. And this was for sure...obsession. Picture a grand scale industrial warehouse comprised of two floors with carefully curated furniture, lighting, art and a design studio. 

Everything was minimal but well thought out. I would say my two favorite picks would be the graffiti wall that greets you as you're pulling in and the phonetic wall as you enter. I admit I did have a bit of a challenge reading it- but was so creatively done! Nwblk I couldn't agree with you more! They just rock the design world. They are "utterly" perfect.

Can you read it?

My truly Mr. B, is obsessed with YouTube channel "Vsauce" and was blown away with what he saw, that he immediately sent it to me. My thoughts were.....

HOW!? How can someone possibly have enough talent to create this in 3 dimensional form you ask? People. That's how! Artist Alexa Meade completely blew my mind this week. It's arresting, powerful and supersedes anything we imagine as "original".  In her words, your body is her canvas. The images need no further explanation. 

What do you think? I'm sure you'll have the same reaction. 
Thanks for reading! Xo
