what a cool opportunity…hope to see you!
i got an email this weekend from one of our creative directors, merrie. she spends a lot of time in india, and shared this story with me about a little boy she befriended:
“this little boy’s name is anshu.
his family lives on the grounds of our friend kundan’s office and his father is the gardener.
kundan has developed a soft spot for him as he’s grown up because he is so ‘street smart’. he loves hanging with the big guys and doing what they do.
so, kundan decided to send him to a school that teaches english, which is the ticket to a better life in india. the school started only a few weeks ago, and we don’t know if the family will see the value of a good education over the years to come, but we are trying…hopefully it’s the start of something bigger.
i figured out no one had ever taught him his colors, so now everyday after ‘tutions’ he stops by our office and sorts my colors with me. (i work on my hindi, and he works on both hindi and english).”
katie from our accessories buying team found this little blurb in instyle uk…
maybe you’ll want to take pix of your blingbags and send them to us?
hint hint…
if you’re in ny, go visit fuse gallery. our awesome knits designer chau – who has
graced our blog many-a-time – is showing some of her work there.
in the form of flowerpots…
and ink on paper…
show runs from august 15 through september 12.
she’s the best. watch our interview with her from may 2008.
this is chris butler, brother-in-law to our awesome graphic designer lizzy.
he describes himself/his art as “analytical, cheap, collage, fast, geometric, simple.”
cool stuff.
this week’s beach home page video was shot with a digital harizenumi…a rad little camera that makes your still images/video look like they were shot in 1967.
you can buy this camera from urban outfitters! (card reader and battery must be purchased at another venue, keep in mind!)
there’s an awesome restaurant in center city, philly – the noble american cookery.
which i’ve heard nothing but good things about. rooftop herb garden, all local/seasonal foods…
our knits designer chau went there shortly after they opened…read about her experience at her cool blog, drawingforfood.blogspot.com.
beautiful video…behind-the-scenes footage for a loeffler randall shoot.
from coute que coute.
by the by, we used this same location for our january 2007 “landed gentry” catalog!
check out this blog…
if home is where the heart is, where is yours? send them a phrase or a pic about your home…and your submission could end up as a limited edition postcard! sweet.
I’ve posted about Julien Vallée‘s colorful paper work before, so I couldn’t resist sharing his new video with you! It’s almost like an ad for a fantastical game that can’t exist yet – but I wish it did!
