You are getting me more amped for it!Anyway, some of you had really wanted to see a reading list, so here is a tentative one.ZWalter Benjamin, The Arcades Project (Selections)Karl Marx, Early WritingsKarl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis NapoleonGuy Debord, Society of the SpectacleFrederic Jameson, Postmodernism: Or the Cultural Logic of Late CapitalismMartin Jay, Downcast Eyes: The Denigration of Vision in Twentieth Century French Thought Julia Kristeva, Powers of Horror: An Essay on AbjectionSusan Sontag, On PhotographyJoan Copjec, Read My Desire: Lacan Against the HistoricistsSlavoj Zizek, The Plague of Fantasies (Selections)Hal Foster, Compulsive BeautyJudith Butler, Undoing GenderElizabeth Grosz, Volatile Bodies: Toward a Corporeal FeminismBernadette Wegenstein, Getting Under the Skin: Body and Media TheoryBooks on Fashion:Caroline Evans, Fashion at the Edge: Spectacle, Modernity, Deathliness Caroline Evans et al.Hussein ChalayanUlrich Lehmann, Tigersprung: Fashion in ModernitySuzy Menkes et.Caroline Evans (Professor of Fashion History and Theory at Central St.Her work is brilliant, and the class will be reading her seminal, Fashion at the Edge: Spectacle, Modernity, Deathliness.Above and below are two versions of the posters for the course displayed around campus.The course has four main units, exploring fashion as image, object and idea.We will look at how the body, presented in fashion imagery, is mediated by our current digital technologies.Third, we will consider fashion as an important feature of material culture.Finally, we will acknowledge the diverse cultural histories that inform the artistic principles of individual designers and design teams.Sorry to have been absent for such a long time everyone, but I've got many cool and interesting projects in the works that I'd love to share with you guys over the next couple of days!If you can't make it to the city definitely surf the online boutique.More longer, contemplative posts soon, promise!I'll be trying to catch up with all your blogs too.Calvin Klein, Spring 08I was really intrigued by this piece in the International Herald Tribune in early March by Suzy Menkes, in which she laments the current inventive direction of the pant, specifically for spring.Where have all the normal trousers gone?Menkes suggests that the draped bloomers at Armani, the dhoti styles at Hermes, the pajama pant at Dries van Noten, rompers and jumpsuits, and jodhpurs at Ralph Lauren which were all on view for spring, cannot really stand up to the dependability and consistency that a classic line and shape offers.And yet, should this really be the pursuit of the consumer?Kicking off the week is this amusing bit of news about Karl Lagerfeld."Grand Theft Auto," due out on April 29, WWD reports.This means players can cruise around and listen to Karl talk, "play music," and generally be an overarching presence in the game.It should therefore come as little surprise that said designer employs someone to look after them, in the manner of a librarian.Also they are relentless in terms of their intellectual commitment to fashion."While Rodarte has been an editor favorite from its inception in 2006, the designers document their challenge to find funding."When we met Karl Lagerfeld for the first time, it was a very special moment that I will never forget," Kate recounted."We were in Colette and he bought a dress for Lady Amanda Harlech.Each issue explores the life of a guest editor and their circle of friends.Persson, whose book, Fashion Illustrations by Fashion Designers, came out March 5th.All our ideas come out through drawing and sketching.Giles Deacon of Giles: 'The beauty I find with drawing,' he says, 'is that it places you in a time where you don't have to think, "Oh, I've got to design now," but you can start doing some drawings and then, after 20 minutes of getting lost in that world, it can start turning into something that you've never even imagined.Portrait and Other Ruins, the fashion drawing or illustration is also an act rooted in memory and anticipation, for the sketch marks relies on memory.It's a very pure form of creation, without any preparation, without any vision.The fashion illustration simultaneously hides and exposes the body through the delicate play of absence and presence.The lines of every drawing are tenuous, and stress the contour and the roughness of a shape, rather than anything absolutely figurative or a firmly demarcated form.It is not the blueprint for a perfectly rendered body.The pencilled lines, the washes of watercolour and ink, are fascinating in their own right.Invaluable as insights into the designers' creative thinking, the illustrations describe a mood, a moment, a daydream (or a nightmare), a joke, an attitude, as successfully as the finished clothes would on a model.Christopher Kane + Marios Schwab + Todd Lynn Fall ...Line

Portfolio's Fashion Inc.Frommer's ReviewIt's still young, but Utopie has proven so far to have the essential ingredients for its considerable success.One menu staple is the duck confit with braised endive and onion compote.All is calm and refined, leaving some dishes somewhat listless, but with no startling clashes of flavor.Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without
