we lollipoppin'

meet Kubo, he owns a ridiculously cool store in Tokyo www.gr8.jp and helped us merchandise the booth!

carpets matching the...errr...clothes

so we booked the cheapest room at the Flamingo for $40 a night...we get there at 2am, exhausted, expecting a musty old room, but out of some freak stroke of luck they were sold out of $40 rooms and only had the presidential suite left to offer us at that rate! sweeeeeetttt! so for our whole stay we had 3 beds,  2 rooms, 3 baths, kitchen, view yada yada....basically we totally pulled off being some very important people......for 40 bucks!

so of course i took advantage of our amazing view and took some photos of my outfit

PLAY ME SUMMER/FALL 2010

after arriving in LA from NY at midnight, we immediately went to the office to put looks together for our shoot the next morning.  Here are the pics for Eric and I's new bottoms line PLAY ME.  I'm really pleased with the result as we had VERY limited time and almost no sleep to pull this off before we headed to Vegas for Project.  Hope you all enjoy the line as much as I do.  We plan to ship stores July 2010! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

NYFW

arriving at Bryant Park before the show....coffee in hand, ready to grind

peep Eric's amazing Hedi Slimane Dior Homme '07 shearling jacket.  This thing is insane.

amongst the chaos backstage, i managed to snap some shots of Walter's (head mens designer) outfit (comme des garcons drop crotch pants and Givenchy boots)

and voilå...the show! so proud of Eric Kim; he has been my mentor throughout my fashion career and I couldn't be happier for him and his new endeavor!

Eric's amazing shirt

what we woke up to this morning.

in search of emergency fabric

got sidetracked by beautiful Native American fabric

and lusted over this oversized trunk

this week so far has been fitting after fitting, running around town, dying/spraying/ripping fabrics, and anything imaginable you can think of doing to clothes... as I have mentioned before, my boyfriend and I were hired by Eric of Mik Cire (a brand new Men's collection) to style their debut collection at Bryant Park. We are so flattered and so fortunate to be here at such a magical time.  I couldn't think of a more perfect time to visit this city than fashion week AND a snow blizzard!
