More Art we Heart...

Marnie Weber is an artist who has a very quirky and cute aesthetic. I'm intrigued by these peculiar, yet whimsical elements she applies to her work.

Sigrid Interviewed Karl Lagerfeld for Interview Magazine

During Paris Fashion Week this past March, model Sigrid Asgren had the honor of interviewing Uncle Karl for Interview Magazine. As you may or may not know, I am obsessed with Karl Lagerfeld not only because he is a genius (as well as the designer behind Chanel) but for the simple fact that he never plays by the rules. Oh and it doesn't hurt that he always says the most outlandish things.

Here's a snippet of that interview:

Agren: Very nice. Where does your inspiration come from when you’re working on a collection?

Lagerfeld: A collection is not just one basic idea. It comes from something that is in the
air, something you suddenly like and put down on paper and then work out. People today are so used to taking one theme and staying with it all the way. I don’t do that . its about cut, about construction. I wanted shoulder, but a new volume, so I made what I call the Big Shoulder. I’m more interested in working out technical ideas than I am in themes or illustrating a scene or a country or whatever.

Agren: If you could do anything in your life over again, what would it be?

Lagerfeld: I don’t want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven’t done. There’s no “again.” There’s only the future. I hate the past – especially my own past.

Agren: Okay. How do you look when you wake up?

Lagerfeld: That’s why I sleep alone. My hair is curly, and that’s why I have my ponytail. I look like a madman, like something out of a horror movie! But I'm very impeccable and clean before I go to bed. It’s just like right before I’m going out. When I was a child, my mother always told me that you could wake up in the middle of the night and be deathly sick, so you always have to be impeccable. I laugh about it now, but I think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door.

Stumbled Across This Gem

I came across a Dutch designer by the name of Christien Meindertsma. She produces amazing knitwear; her work is so inspiring. FYI, I want knitting needles this big:

Noteworthy Quotes

"Every day, man is growing and learning. What you were yesterday, you are probably not today, because today's you is yesterday's experience. One is always learning."
- President Zardari (of Pakistan)

This past Saturday, The New York Times Magazine, published an article on Pakistan and if it could be governed. Whether or not you agree with the politics of Pakistan's current President, Asif Ali Zardari, the quote is definitely noteworthy, mainly because it's very true. It is today's inspiration.

Currently Crushin' On Clogs

I am currently obsessed with clogs. Ok, I know many of you may be asking yourself, "Clogs? Really?" Yes, really. The obsession started innocently enough but now it seems that there are clogs (or rather clog-esque) shoes everywhere I look. The clog has remained true to itself but has also been updated with a wooden platform heel. The perfect summer shoe to pull an outfit together.

Bluesy

"I wrote this rhyme in the rain, the rain started pouring and I whispered your name, your name passed my lips and I thought of your frame, and how you move when we're doing our thing, how we act like the yin and the yang, like two separate parts that's one in the same. This feeling is enormous, I can't ignore and not send you a chorus but I rather refrain... This is not a game but I write you a score, sing a million notes then write you some more... One kiss for every grain of sand on the shore, until your heart fell down on the floor... She said I know you keeping it raw, but if you don't love me, what we doing this for?...It was fun while it lasted, but in the book of life all chapters must come to a close I guess.."
