Loving Kate Owen's color sense and her management of the details

TI: Do you think things like detailing, high quality, craftsmanship or subtle texture gets noticed on a computer. Do you think fashion culture will still adhere to those variables of luxury that are not apparent on a computer screen?

The Two Laras. Why Choose? Ph Alisdair McLellan

Oh that Lara! She's millimeters away from Iconic no?

The impeccably painted nails are the true sell

Uhmmm is that a crocodile IPad holder I spy!

Is the newstand destined to be an antique?

Well that was very strange. Looking back, I realize Paris SS11 turned into a kind of publisher's convention.

Cuz its not glamour

This girl is ready to go the distance. Trust. PH Petronio

"It seems like Fashion Week when you look at the pictures in the magazine...you don't realize all the stuff behind it. All the long nights, the work that goes into it. Even the production on shoots and everything and how long. All the castings...and fittings and go-sees. I thought it was all just a simple phone call and you just come in for the job. I thought I'd get a call and just drive in from New Jersey....like once a week (laughs)."

OFR is going to see a lot of TI this week

Downstairs from where I'm staying is the brilliant bookstore for Ofr. (library and gallery) and TI is deeply in love.

Lydia Hearst in Self Service. Because she can! PH:Terry Richardson

If you've ever suffered through the underlit wastes of Hotel Costes then you know what this room feels like

"I really like it when people don't necessarily have the right stuff in their homes. I like errors; it's what shows personality. When everything is perfect it's called "the tastes of the times" and I find it terrifying. I like the bad moments in life or bad moments with family which put you where you should be and not where you think you should be. Even when one has acquired good taste , it is good to keep the memory of a time when you didn't have any. The more taste you have, the more you should let yourself not have any , and to assume and create mistakes"
