Fashion Week – Erdem

The Erdem spring collection was full of floral prints that felt modern to me. I especially like the two dresses shown here. See more at Style.com.

Too amazing not to pass on: the artistry of Mitsuru Koga. Inspired by insect eaten leaves + oh so cool. Sorry that I missed the exhibit at Venice, Ca shop Tortoise.

Postcards from Ilfant Press

notebook paper

Postcards that look like school paper and are letterpress printed? Too cool for school. Visit Ilfant Press’s etsy shop where you can buy the designs as individual postcards, or packs of five. I found these through Flickr, but much thanks to the Seattle Center for Book Arts for pointing me in the right direction.

Okay, here’s where it gets even more interesting (to me, anyway): Ilfant’s designer is Lisa Hasegawa. And when I read that, I kept thinking “Why do I know that name?” Turns out, she designed these awesome letterpressed dresses that have been in my Flickr favs for a few years. Lisa, you rule!!! And thank you, brain, for working :)
