urban zen

Urban Zen

I came across Donna Karan's foundation and new label Urban Zen on one of my ventures out into the big world wide web. I was immediately attracted to the fashion, the same thing that used to happen to me in the early nineties, most of what I saw of her work was inspiring and intelligent, made for a woman's body, I was so glad to know she was over there in New York. I feel like with this label she's gone into the core of her style and heart. And then to make things even more enthralling, ten percent of sales from the Urban Zen stores goes to the people in Haiti. It reminds me a bit of the inspirational Anita Roddick. Thank God for powerful, humanitarian, and creative women like this, they give the rest of us such an excellent reference point.

the extraordinary images of Willy Ronis

Place Vendome, Paris, 1947

 I came across Willy Ronis, because I kept thinking about Brassaii today, and how he has influenced the way we think about Paris to this day I believe. I didn't know about this photographer, he was around at around the same time as Brassaii and Lartigue, and had a strong style of his own. More lyrical perhaps, less of social commentary, I'll get back about this, as I need to investigate him more.
