Time and time again, New York seems to find itself hatching all things magical...Jeremy Scott left his home state of bfe Missouri to make it big in thr Big Apple. Though he is unfortunately involved in the whole one-legged pant thing that I really don't even want to get into, his sneakers are so wild, so unconventional, every time I see a pair I am at a loss for words. Rarely do designers manage to outdo themselves each and every single time, but Scott most certainly does. His runway collections are a bit bizzare, but his work with Adidas is a footwear dream come true.
My current item of lust, the 3 Tongue Attitude:
As much as I hate to admit it, I find myself believing more and more in luck. Artist Ruben Toledo was recently commisioned to illustrate the covers for Wuthering Heights, The Scarlet Letter, and Pride and Prejudice- and he never read a single word of any of them! [In his defense, moving here as a small child from Cuba and not having much to his name probably occupied most of his time, but anyway...] This probably upset the countless well-read artists who felt they deserved the job, but one look at the works and let me tell you, Hester Prynne never looked so damn good...[He does those creepy, big eyed illustrations for Nordstom for those less literary fashion junkies among us (: ] This man owns water colors- his style is a little pre-cubist Picasso-esque, if Picasso fell in love with a sumi brush. He also happens to be married to Isabel Toledo, fellow Cuban fashion designer and creator of the lemony-yellow lace shift dress with matching coat Mrs. O wore to the inauguration.
I wonder if their children will have inferiority complexes.
Sugar, spice, and everything nice.
