Block Prints





We've been keeping track of the latest Fall 2011 shows, and we were especially captivated by Preen's colorful and refined prints. Inspired by The Northern Californian arts and crafts movement, their playful use of different prints and scales appears whimsical yet fashion forward.

Haunt







We love these collages! Meric Canatan does such a good job compositing the images that we cannot tell if this was done in pre or post production. They are made with such delicate materials, but the models' expressions are so haunting, especially with the black hollow space that surrounds each of the figures.
