FFfT: INSPIRATION

Reading through my daily BLOGLOVIN' roll, I stumbled upon the coolest thing. New York Magazine's fashion blog, The Cut made a slideshow of photos given by 100 designers. And not of just any photo -- it is a single picture along with a required one-liner, as a point of inspiration that captures the whole vibe of their upcoming Spring 2011 shows. It's not often that we get to see mood boards or quirky photos that let us into the minds of these fashionable artists, so therefore I was pleasantly amused [and inspired] while clicking through the collection.
Below are some of my faves.

ALEXANDER WANG: "WHITE OUT"

CHARLOTTE RONSON: "ADORN"

 NARCISO RODRIGUEZ: "THE BEETLES"

RAG & BONE: "SUBSAHARA"

THAKOON: "MATTRESS"

It'll be very interesting to see how these inspirational pictures will play out once Spring 2011 shows debut. Some of these are pretty literal and straight forward, and other a little more obscure and a little peculiar. Either way, I'm sure none of the models will be walking down the runway dressed as a beetle or with white-out poured down her gown.

It's FRIDAY! time to get inspired.

J'AIME MON HERMES CARRE

I recently started obsessing over the new HERMéS blog -- J'AIME MON CARRé (I LOVE MY SCARF).

A way to take the classique Hermés scarf out into the younger masses, this little media stunt is a beacon of inspiration on how to wear the ubiquitous scarf -- and beautifully demonstrated by gorgeous girls from LONDON, PARIS, NEW YORK, & TOKYO. click around and get some ideas; and if you're confused on how each scarf was knotted, there's the CARTES á NOUER (KNOTTING CARDS) that illustrate step-by-step on exactly how to achieve the look. 

totally inspired -- I shall now dig through my mum's Hermés scarf archive and try out some of these knots.

have fun!
