notes for august

- Awesome share of the month #1 – Pret a Porter P shared some beautiful images from Martin Margiela’s collections for Hermes. I’ve always loved those collections and it’s nice to see people keeping his work alive. Go marvel at the timelessness of it all.
- Awesome share of the month #2 – Stevie of Discotheque Confusion had a post on Margaret Howell’s chat with Penny Martin at the V&A, which prompted me to Google to find out more. Details are scant, but here’s another good post on That’s Not My Age.
- New activity I can’t get enough of – dragon-boating. Being on the water on weekends is such joy, and the view of Singapore’s skyline from the Kallang River makes your heart swell with pride (that’s my National Day patriotism talking).
Have a great weekend everyone.

Dragon-boating sounds fun! Have a great week-end too! I can't wait to leave the office!

i am sure there will be an official video/transcript of howell at V&A soon, hopefully.
happy national singapore day!
hannah-rose: i wanted one of her irish linen shirts but somehow by the time i got down to shopping, the fall clothes were in! next year perhaps.
pret a porter: i suppose the classicism of hermes was a good counterpoint to his more avant garde designs! there are some designers who work best on their own code but sometimes it's interesting to see how they work with an established brand's DNA.
very curious about that bag too! i had never seen it before until you highlighted it.
jocy: i do my best to stay that way, although i enjoy the odd weekend in, slobbing it out.
joy: i remember seeing margiela's designs for hermes (same goes for Calvin Klein for Calvin Klein, Narciso Rodriguez) and thinking, this is how grown-ups dress. this is how i want to look when i'm an adult.
