Rad for More, Not Less.

So I went to the Rad Hourani diffusion line party/show last night. (The open bar for thirty minutes was not a good idea, as I grabbed as many drinks {the only free drinks being a choice of Champagne and a half a cup of liquor and a splash of juice}before it ended, and was subsequently drunk in my Gareth's before 7:53 PM, my friend Eric from Seven and I were about to fall over). {The picture above found from where did you get that. com adequately describes this} Any way, the show itself was a little disappointing. I mean I GUESS Rad has the cool kid look down and everything, but jersey pieces for $400? The jackets were good layering pieces, and I GUESS that it's wearable and edgy still. It was pretty much Rick Owens with a Rad flair. But considering that the shoes were the best part, and they weren't even from the diffusion line, I'd say it was a bit of a miss. The models looked amazing though, and I do love Rad. I just wish he would have pushed it a bit more. Sorry for the shit pictures; I don't really have a camera anymore.




Here's my outfit from the front

Take A Trip In The Air

My friend Bart, who works at Seven with me, has a new line (you may have seen it in V or NY Times), but it's really out of control wonderful. The reason that Bart's pieces are special, as opposed to a personal DIY session, is that the jackets and vests that he picks have to meet a certain criteria ( from 1940-1980, if leather- it must be perfectly aged, and preferably horsehide, and if denim- it must by Levi), he then perfectly hand paints an important message- such as an oracle from the I Ching(I highly suggest consulting it), or an apocalyptic warning. It's punk, but not in a mindless genre-copying sense. In any sense I like doing the final dance and being the semi-face of RF.

Michelle Pfieffer is a hottie, and so is Gothic Architecture.

The idea for the shoot was a study in drape, shadow, architecture, darkness and a tinge of gothicism.
Cheery summer outfit, I know.


P.S.
Sorry for my two week absence, I've been excessively busy. I'm super excited, though, I'm going to be on Bravo in a few months for a super secret show. Keep a look out! I'm going to be wearing a ridiculous outfit. (No surprise).
