I love this illustration by Anne M. Oetling - I met her when in Berlin and I love her work!

Fun times. 

This is the hoodie and pants I did in the same fabrics as the dress. The front, back, and sides of hood are in the mustard nylon, the center hood is in a red orange and the sleeves are in baby mesh. The whole thing has black herringbone twill tape binding and there is a waist tie also in the black herringbone twill tape. The pants are a basic jean pattern (custom made to fit me by Steven at Clinton Park - steven@clinton-park.com) in a black stretch denim and mustard nylon, again with the black herringbone twill tape. I went a little overboard on the twill tape, but I really like how it all turned out. More photos from CCSF Fashion Show Ethereal Nights here.

CCSF Fashion Show - Ethereal Night
Last Sunday (I missed it due to prior family obligations, but here are photos!)

I wish they got a photo of the back of this dress because a giant zipper comes all the way up. This dress was designed in conjunction with the hoodie and pants (next post) because they wanted pieces for the ‘althetica’ section. Not normally the kind of thing I do, but I actually really loved working with these nylons and mesh of various sizes.

This dress has black nylon up the front (it is super smooth-like butter;) and giant black mesh up the sides with a center back in mustard nylon and a black finish metal zipper. There is a thick black herringbone twill tape in the back to cinch it up so you get the sculptural look in the front. The hem is asymmetrical front to back.

Airport style: SFO terminal 2
Destination unknown

I’ll always prefer a man in a suit when it comes to airport attire (or anytime really), but this man’s refreshing use of knit pants paired with a herringbone wool blazer and penny loafers sans socks totally rocks. The black cuff at the bottom of his pants (could these be leggings?!) makes all the difference. Sunglasses worn indoors, through security line and while ordering a grab n’ go burrito—optional.

(loving’ my half avocado grapefruit salad from the plant cafe just as much as I loved my burger king chicken nuggets I ate last night at LAX. San Francisco even has better airport food, though sometimes it’s nice to be forced to eat fast food as it does not exist here)
