Calvin Klein, Longchamp

Can we discuss how epic-amazing-flawlessly-stunningly-perfect Calvin Klein is? I feel like I say this often but I need people to feel it with me [for my own sanity in regards to over thinking how great visual merchandising is] because it's true. Oh Calvins design team, if I ever move or buy an apartment...please decorate it with your gentle touches.



I think once I get my giant Givenchy gold print, I'm going to get this image printed right next to it. STUNNING.







CK replaced buttoms with a leading lady...




and some Kate Moss font/bags to bring us all back to earth at Longchamp.

Giorgio Armani x The Red Carpet Exhibit

Last night I was invited to the opening of Giorgio Armanis Red Carpet Exhibit at the 5th Avenue store. I don't know where to begin, first of all I'm still in shock because I got to basically photographically raped Lady Gagas Prive Grammy creation and everything after it seemed whatever. There will be a lot of photos in this post, not because I have suddenly forgotten how to edit [okay maybe a little, still in shock that my lens was so close to such beautiful pieces and for once not through glass!!] but because the details. Oh the glorious succulent details that are still making my mouth water. Sadly the dresses were blocked off by the great visual red carpet strand [awesome to shoot from outside, not so much inside.] I did eventually have to take my obsessing outside, but being able to finally walk around the store and shoot freely made up for it. Now settle down, close your other tabs for a moment and really really reallllly enjoy because I know I did.





Zippers everywhere. Ugh so good.






















Yeah I used a flash, but off camera...so it's not as icky? Sure.




Seriously Lady Gaga is so lucky to have worn this stunning creation.







Supposedly this dress worn by Beyonce weighs 70 lbs.



Finally I went outside to get better shots...




BACK TO MY ENDLESS OBSESSING OVER THIS GAGA CREATION OF MAGIC.


Ugghhh, I die.


















I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did. For those lucky enough to be in NY, the show is up until March 21, 2010. So rush yourself to 717 Fifth Avenue, at 56th Street, especially all of you "I don't go above 14th street" types, it's free and it's well worth it.
