black coffee in bed

everyone loves a free dress, right?
then run over to joanna goddard's a cup of joe (right now! one day only!) for a duskin giveaway of the wrap dress pictured. all you have to do is leave a comment on HER site, and she'll pick a winner at random.

joanna does giveaways on wednesdays, and they're always really cute- so make sure to visit often and try your luck!

and then congratulate her on her upcoming wedding this weekend!

open house

(From WWD 8/21/09)

Like grads gearing up for a reunion, a group of former Vogue staffers-turned-designers have decided to band together for Fashion’s Night Out on Sept. 10.

The lines Hester, Duskin, Doucette Duvall, Thread Social, Prova, Gryphon and Wren will take over the Bellhaus Bond Street pop-up store for their own temporary pop-up space, part of a mini block-party with the adjacent Billy Reid and Rogan boutiques.

Dubbed the Vogue Alumni House (they boast two former André Leon Talley assistants, two fashion writers and a jewelry and watch editor among their ranks), the evening will include DJ sets by Sebastian Kim, Johnny Misheff and Skaught and customized Fashion Night Out T-shirts for sale.

"80 must haves" in town & country : september 2009

happy birthday brad!!!

our favorite bow-tie-wearing pair-of-hot-legs had a birthday party at the standard in new york recently. pictures to come, but check out the t-shirt i designed and gave away with danielle, casey, and annebet! it was actually casey and danielle's BRILLIANT idea to do a t-shirt gift, but i'm a geek who sits in front of the computer all day when not lugging fabric back and forth in the garment district, so the second i read their email i was in illustrator mocking up ideas...look out for them as 50 lucky guests left the party, many of them in their new t-shirts!

duskin at fred segal flair!

visions and a decision

i've decided i need these tights.

heavy hearts

The Morning Benders 'Heavy Hearts'.

the song starts a few lines in, in the video.

click for the album version of heavy hearts.

a memory engraved

a few weeks ago, our fall lookbook model, rebecca schiffman, performed at bruar falls in williamsburg (brooklyn). you can't really tell from the image (thanks iphone) but she's wearing the ruffle blouse from spring '09 and the lace ruffle skirt from fall '09! with white bucks! she looked and sounded beautiful.
it was a really nice show, and at the end she performed a cover of robyn hitchcock and the egyptian's "i'm only you." i've posted the song before, as I've been obsessed with it since the first time i heard her play it. it's so amazing, but i think it's even better when she sings it. and i'm not just saying that because i want to use her again...

all your women things

fallon, hedi slimane, great lakes, unknown.

all over the place

but this makes me feel grounded.

watch

runnin' down a dream: tom petty and the heartbreakers.

make sure you have almost 4 hours free.
it's long, but worthy.
