Paper's Beautiful People issue archive; 2003!

Paper Magazine is featuring a selection of their Beautiful People Issue archive from 2003 on their blog today. Solange Knowles is wearing the Liberte Hoops! Ha, amazing, that was 8 years ago! I remember going to that Beautiful People Paper Magazine party and it was fun! I must have been a bambino.

atlantic telegraph 08

My friend James shot this Super8 film in the Northfork 3 years ago. It was supposed to be a collection video for our first Family Affairs collection "Atlantic Telegraph" This was the rough cut and he just happened to put George Delerue's "Theme de Camille" from the Le Mepris soundtrack over it. I found it again today and wanted to share it. There was a story line but it is irrelevant.

studio visit

I just stumbled upon these lovely photos again from a blog post by CaliVintage. Erin (Cali Vintage) and Rebecca (The Clothes Horse) came by during NYFW in February for a studio visit . It is always wonderful to have those two inspiring girls over!

I am wearing the Room With A View dress

Rebecca is wearing the Million Miles dress (fw11) with the Monterey shirt.

greencard

I re-watched Greencard (1990) in three parts, I kept falling asleep while watching it. All these green tones have a calming effect on me.

Did subway stations in 1990 really have such lush flower shops?

Uptown ladies overcome by Goeorge's aka Gerard Depardieu's French charms.

Bronte; always the right lipstick

Notes on Bronte; diet, yogourt, birdseed, no meat

Sweet flower prints and starting to maybe have a crush on Gerard

Can I have that hat?

just chillin' in the greenhouse of the penthouse appartment that Bronte can afford while being a social activist gardener...

Classic. Pretending to be on ski vacation on the NY rooftop

good prints!

"political ballet"

The existentialist French man and Laura Ashley with a green thumb

So wholesome and pretty! Don't you just want to have some cookie and milk with Bronte and learn about massage therapy?

uuuh George is angry!

Rushing to the Greencard interview. Very well dressed for the IRS!

76! Great hairdo.

Getting home and the clumsy French man is gone

Then she misses him and it rains in a perfect way.

Bronte puts a wonderful trench over her organic silk blouse and waits for George. I love this.

don't worry there is an happy end!
