Mary Katrantzou, Spring 2011

For Mary Katrantzou's Spring collection, she was inspired by the interiors in which Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin photos were shot in the 70's. Since I like those guys too, of course I was super-interested in what she came up with.

Using her trademark print style – psychedelic and surreal, yet crisp and sophisticated – she's shown us a highly detailed kaleidoscope of glamour. I want to be there!

Marc Jacobs coat...that's all the info I have.

This is my friend Kelly's dog, Maude.

Thelma Carpenter by Carl Van Vechten.

She was an actress and jazz singer, whose best known performance is Miss One in The Wiz!

The shot is from the Living Portraits series – a really fantastic collection of Van Vechten photographs of notable African Americans, taken between 1939-1964. Most of the shots are styled with brightly colored textiles and lively props.

I like the palette in this Guy Bourdin shot.

Lou Reed for Honda, 1985.

Funny! and kind of shocking, right?

Guy Bourdin

I guess we haven't seen much Guy Bourdin around here much lately... These are all ads for Charles Jourdan in the late 70's.

I fall into a deep depression every time I remember that I can't have these shoes. Recently, maybe 2 years ago, Marc Jacobs had some boots with similar heels to this. I would be happy to have them now!

Such a glamorous shot!

Jayne Casey from Big in Japan

Not sure what the source is here, but I like it! Looks Guy Bourdin-ish

Normally I don't really get into Louboutin, but this bag is kind of kicky. I think it depends how large it is though, because if it's oversized, it might push it over the edge.
