I went for a walk around my neighborhood the other day and found some really nice wall paintings outside of a school! They are done by a Berlin artist named Gino Fuchs.

I remember a few years back when I first saw one of these Tauba Auerbach works in a magazine…..I was so excited by it. It was typography and fine art combined in a way I had never seen before. It’s the kind of image that stuns you and you want to study it and just soak it in. This series inspires me until this day and I would like to create something like this myself, something done with so much diligence, graphic quality and historical reference, but alas, I have not come across the right idea yet. I wonder how she came up with these images.

Even though I wasn’t blown away by this collection, I enjoyed the idea that the models were women walking down the street with their purses, lattes and magazines in their arms. Dsquared collections are usually more casual and very real in terms of what many women wear daily, but putting the models in this context really drives the idea home. It is not a completely original idea, but i admire the creativity.

I am revisiting Marc by Marc Jacobs’ warm and fuzzy collection. I realized that it is actually nice to be looking at this year’s upcoming fall fashion because the warm and cozy looks fit perfectly to the weather we have now. Maybe Marc Jacobs was inspired by the long winter we are experiencing now.
