Somehow this perfectly reflects where my head is at the moment...

Photographer Raymond Meier shoots Miu Miu shoes for T Magazine.

Just take a deep breath (preferably not of cigarette smoke) and the genius needed for this thesis will come...eventually...

If I weren't so stressed I might take up knitting to calm myself...

History Repeats Itself

Fall Ready-To-Wear 2010

Fall Ready-To-Wear 2009

He was studying Byzantine Empresses...

This is from Alexander McQueen's final show. He was 80% done this collection when he died, and it was shown beautifully and respectfully at Paris Fashion Week on March 9th. Style.com tells of his efforts to go back to historically-informed techniques to create fine couture creations. He was studying "medieval Madonnas and Byzantine Empresses". These are a few of his pieces from Fall, Ready-To-Wear, 2010.

I teared-up immediately when I saw this one (above)--it is breathlessly beautiful.

I'm still waiting for genius to start pouring forth from my fingers...

Inspiration a.k.a. A Kick in the ASS!

These pics aren't necessarily visually Byzantine-related but I need something with movement right now.

I need to put down the articles and books and start writing my thesis. Seriously.

It sparkles.
