London’s Calling

Sure, I’ve been listening The Clash, but I’ve also been watching what’s been coming down the runway. I think that if I were able to ramp up my wardrobe, I’d be pulling my key pieces from Charles Anastase’s Fall 09 collection (or here). It’s the right amount of “punk” for me. I like the jackets, the layers, the plaids, the stripes and the colors. I like the shoes, but I can’t chase Iz through the grocery store in those. I mean for real.

I just knit a hat. I love my hat. (pictures later)

Sandra Backlund has knit some incredible fantastic amazing outfits.

I first saw her work in one of my issues of Selvedge:

I’m very excited about her current collection:

I especially love the way she transforms the body with her organic exaggerated shapes (not to mention those fabulous wedge shoes!). The shapes are quite beautiful and only make the bodies more beautiful. Her work is dreamy. Be sure to check the archives on her site to see more work.

Thanks to Design Milk for reminding me of Sandra Backlund.
