we got to talking+one thing led into another collaboration.

the SFK site has launched!!

+i'm the first photographer in the gallery!
check out the slideshow here.

+get pumped cause we're planning a BIG event for fashion week.

it does pass us by, but we drew closer as the dawn encroached.

i've been scanning like a madwoman for over a week and have LOADS of new fun stuff to share but for now all you get is this post-souk expedition group shot from tiznit.

time keeps on slipping....and them's aiyght facts by me.

one last time.....
let's get groovy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unbeknownst, we drove the whole way up with magic in our back pocket.

the smoke bombs+laughter made our eyes water hard.

hope y'all had a magical merry holiday + i wish you an explosively awesome new years eve!!

we're ditching the new york new years brouhaha (IN MY NEW CAR!) to hang out in a lake house in the poconos!

what we've got on the agenda: eat loads of yummy marlow+daughters food, light a couple smoke bombs, wear sequins by the fire, take LOADS of fotos, drink this bottle of veuve and just get really fucking groovy.

i promise i will post more fotos soon. i just cleared 3,660 pics from iphoto-i.e. i've finally had a chance to upload all my digi pics from november+december...but i have to go dig my car out from under heaps of snow so my apologies but you'll have to wait a few days more:)

i don't know about you but my new years resolutions are stacking up: eat more fruit, make some more books, back up my digi jazz more frequently, jump rope, get rid of this vintage archive (lemme know if you'd like to make an appointment to go thru it;), +paint more frequently.
what are yours??

MAGAZINE PARTY was started to bring magazines back to the art form. Similar to Glenn O'Brien's TV Party, MAGAZINE PARTY aims to hold back from that technically slick feel that defines so many modern publications. Instead it encompasses a more DIY approach, which focuses on a more stripped down style; a style where art itself becomes the core of the design and content aesthetic. For this reason the zine has a limited run and is printed and bound by hand.

MAGAZINE PARTY serves as a forum for friends and artists to contribute something that is a little left of center and gives them the ability to expand from their usual work.

Full list of artists include:
- Kenzo Minami
- Gordon Hull
- Fergadelic
- Jess Rotter
- Zakee Shariff
- Vena Cava
- Elizabeth Spiridakis
- Will Lemon
- J Penry
- Max Wowch
- Alec Friedman
- Louise Sturges
- Kat Clements
- Sarah Kuhn
- Phil Oh
- Justine D
- Roi Cydulkin
- Jason Andrews

the night began beautifully yet ended in a slam.

now, i'm waaaay behind on this here blog+thus, i'm only just now finally telling you that the open ocean show at secret project robot was mad good-these gals just keep getting better and looking hotter..the experience was made all the more complete with fireworks and babes aplenty...


+speaking of these righteous babes...

the stylish and stunning bassist, accessories editor, artist and all around sweetheart, miss sarah kuhn, has gone ahead and designed the most covetable camera straps i've EVER seen!!!

i mean, you know i love some chanel+am never without my camera..so, here, now i present you with the genius (and remarkably affordable) SFK camera straps..go to her site and order one or ten! i'm eagerly waiting on the classic gold and black but am seriously considering the turquoise and silver as an awesome alternate.

for more on this check out her recent write ups on refinery29 and on white lightning...
