Video: Off Book | Typography | PBS Arts

I’m a huge fan of typography (check out past posts here and here), so when my friend M put me on to this PBS documentary I knew it was something that I needed to share here.  The special goes into detail on how type affects our everyday life and a major instrument in communication.

Fantastic stuff.  Enjoy!

Inspired by: Denim

I haven’t worn much jeans since the summer started, but with the cooler temperatures in store I’m sure to be breaking out some of these styles in the coming weeks.  Maybe even the coming days since the high in NYC yesterday was 72.  Unbelievable since it’s still August!

Anyway, these are a few items that caught my eye.  The Christian Louboutin wedges are my favorite for sure.

1. Juicy Couture mini dress, 2. Toms bleach splatter denim women’s cordones, 3. Diamond denim bow hair pin, 4. Top Shop denim western style jacket, 5. Dolce & Gabbana denim clutch, 6. Christian Louboutin Deroba denim wedge, 7. Indigo denim mini skirt, 8. H&M denim jeans

Fashion Designer: Carlos Falchi

I really enjoyed this short documentary on Brazilian fashion designer Carlos Falchi. He speaks about how the 60’s NY art and music scene influenced his work and how color inspires the bags he creates.

The animations in the film were done by SVA graduate Thomas Losinski.
