hui-hui/

of ria paquée.

last week we went to see her beautiful installation at exhibitionspace LLS387, lange leemstraat 387,antwerp.

mainly photowork but also film and 3D which form a well composed overview of

the artists recent work.

it seems to be all about colours but captured in daily life scenes in amongst others: india, france and  belgium,

telling also a lot about the impact of clothing for the vision of a  community.

it reminded us on one of our favourite books of inspiration:

(un)fashion, by tibor and maira kalman.

it is a little magic, depending on what project you are busy with,

you keep finding images you seem to haven´t seen before.

.

yesterday was the opening of the new exhibition : zwart/ black at the fashionmuseum in antwerp.

the presentation is very graphical , clean black and white.

giving a good background for all the black silouets  of various designers.

big names as comme des garçons and ann demeulemeester, raf simons but also a piece of helena lumelsky s beautiful dark collection,outfits of gareth pugh , iris van herpen and historical pieces of the momu stock.

its definitely worth passing by to have a look. the uniform colours provide such a good focus for patternwork and textiles .

ra gave a party afterwards in the café, dresscode black with mysterious nearly black cocktails.

.

we like hockneys paintings and we love his drawings.

all images are out of this book:

unfortunately we had to erase the images, so get the book

or visit david hockney virtually.

since we get some hits via yatsutakes blog we were having a look

at the online portofolio.

illustrations by somebody with talent . nice, handmade and each line a little crooked.

just the way we like it.

doing research for the fall / winter collection we found the book

-Kaffe Fassett, Glorious knitting-

finally not so much went into the design, but it is just such a timetravel to look at the photos.

Marie- Louise, the image with girl and  grandma on the bench knitting is for you!

our good friend german photographer daniel sannwald has his

first book printed. it will be out beginning of 2010 with a broad overview of  his

works. One spread and the cover to get curious and three questions to the photographer:

1. the best thing that happened to you in 2009

2. how does it feel holding your first book in your hands?

its a very nice feeling as i am used to working with magazines and the fact that everything is produced for a moment or an issue – it´s great to have something now captured in a different timescale.
3. your favorite picture of the month.

thank you daniel!
