Mary Katrantzou S/S 2012 RTW

Who else is completely blown away by Mary Katrantzou's S/S collection?? I can honesty say I would wear almost every piece. As you view her work, please notice some of her incredible detail. Mary actually appliqued pieces of tin into the fabric, and also used close-up prints of abstract metal objects. This aspect was inspired by John Chamberlain's crush-car sculptures. The toughness of metal and vibrant colored-fabrics make for an uncommon, yet very unique look. I'm totally digging! Even the styling- harsh lips and soft hair... it's perfect. Truly a mixed media masterpiece!

Success

In Blake Mycoskie's book, Start Something That Matters (TOMS), he begins his story with these beautiful words. I thought some of you might find them as inspirational as I did... 


S U C C E S S

To laugh often and love much
To win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children

To earn the appreciation of honest critics
endure the betrayal of false friends

To appreciate beauty
To find the best in others
To leave the world a bit better
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition

To know even one life has breathed easier 
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
