When the professor gave us the assignment to write about our daily media usage, I knew what mine would look like. Being a photographer makes it inevitable for me to not use the media. Starting in the morning, my alarm is on my phone so that's where it all starts. Since I am a commuter and have 7:30am classes every day, you will not catch me without my headphones in. Bad enough I'm up early, but dealing with other commuters can be annoying. I listen to my iPod on my way to school. At school, I am allowed to use my computer in most of my classes so I engage in more media. On my computer I do many things, take notes, work on photos, blog, catch up on blogs, social networks, and much more. After class is over, I put my headphones back on and continue the day, music gets me by throughout the day. At home, I continue to use media until I go to sleep. Usually doing some editing and checking up social networks tires me out thus falling asleep. Media is seen a lot during my day and I'm not surprised about it. It's just interesting how much of an impact technology has on our society nowadays. Who would've thought this is what the world would be like 20-30 years ago?
A brand I am new to, but a store I'm very familiar with. Marni is a family owned-business but has become an international luxury brand with stores around the world. The Marni collection is the latest designer collaboration for H&M, which has previously collaborated with brands such as Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Comme des Garçons, Jimmy Choo, Lanvin, and most recently Versace.
Different from my other posts, this lookbook had more of a setting which caught my attention. The background in these photos highlight not only the color of the clothing, but the detail in each piece. The color palette features a variation of earthy hues, while unique details, including wood and hood buttons, leather pads, and intricate cuts accentuate each piece.
Chace Infinite and his label Harun International have joined Boylston Trading Co. to release a limited edition capsule collection for Spring 2012. Inspiration for the accessory comes from cultural elements of the past, present and future. Calling upon the likes of natural elements such as Jade, Red Jasper, Lapis and Matte Onyx, the collection will surely be worth it's price.
Nigel Cabourn had a simple lookbook for it's Spring/Summer collection. It was simple but had some nice pieces inspired by General Bernard Montgomery and the “Desert Rats” of the British 8th Army.
