Bree

Freja Beha as Jane Fonda in Klute shot by Terry Richardson for Vogue Nippon? I think I died and went to heaven.

Imitation of Life

Technicolor melodramas and cheesy L.A. imagery are two of my major weaknesses so I can't help but love Alex Prager's photographs. She recently did a short film with Bryce Dallas Howard called Despair, check it out here.

Hiroko Mon Amour

Hiroko Matsumoto was a sixties model/ actress, muse to Pierre Cardin, and that is all the information that I have been able to find about her. It's also safe to say that she was one of the first asian models to find success in the western world along with Avedon muse China Machado. I couldn't find very many photos of her, unfortch. The last few images are screen captures that were originally posted here. The site is in Japanese so I have no idea what movie they are from, does anyone know? All I know is that I want her grommeted leather mini stat!

UPDATE: They are from Truffaut's Domicile Conjugal (Bed and Board). Thanks for the tip Celine!

Neely

I feel pretty indifferent about the new Mulberry "Neely" bags but I love that they were named after one of my all-time favorite cinematic trainwrecks, Neely O'Hara! I wish all luxury handbags were named after psycho bitches like Neely instead of a model or Alexa Chung or whoever. Baby Jane Hudson, Aileen Wuornos, and that chick from Audition should totally have their own signature handbags. And they should probably come with matching flasks and secret pockets for stashing dope and/or firearms. Just a thought!

I'm 18 years old and I'm totally doomed

I've been watching a lot of Gregg Araki movies lately and I couldn't resist sharing these stills from Nowhere (1997). I don't know what I love more, Christina Applegate's screaming kitten t-shirt or the bitchy trifecta of Rose McGowan, Traci Lords, and Shannon Doherty.

Lucifer Rising

I have been coveting this jacket from Kenneth Anger's Lucifer Rising ever since my high school days and I can't believe that my dream has finally become a reality. Sixpack France has lovingly replicated the famous jacket and it is available for purchase in their webstore for around $180 USD. Unfortunately it is only available in men's sizes so I may have to go with the t-shirt instead. If you haven't seen Lucifer Rising I've posted a clip below although you'd be much better off renting The Films of Kenneth Anger Vol 2. If you need more encouragement, did I mention that Marianne Faithfull is in it? Way epic.

The Blank Generation: Part One

I am so incredibly inspired by Third & Delaware that it inspired me to pay tribute to my favorite television style icon: Jerri Blank from Strangers With Candy. After binge-watching SWC on Hulu for the past few months I've gotten a pretty good sense of her wardrobe. Her signatures include turtlenecks (especially if they're sleeveless), high-waisted statement pants, novelty earrings, denim, jumpsuits, and what I like to call "wild card" items. Wild card items are items of clothing that simply defy categorizion. You think to yourself, "Where the hell could a person buy something like that? I haven't seen clothes like that in my ten-plus years of compulsive thrift shopping." Like Chloe Sevigny, Jerri has a unique ability to re-interpet items that we would never in a million years deem to be fashionable. Her knack for to creating cohesive outfits with unexpected textures and color combinations reminds me of the work of Jane How and Camille Bidault-Waddington. I've been trying to bring out my inner Jerri Blank lately (mostly by wearing ugly 80's blazers) and I think that all of you should follow suit. Opening Ceremony has a lovely assortment of pieces that look as if they've been plucked straight from her closet. You know she would wear that Jeremy Scott sweater dress with a bolo tie.
