Andy Warhol Smells

Andy Warhol once said his favorite smell was "the first smell of spring in New York".

Called "Andy Warhol Union Square", The perfumer Bond No. 9's has created a Warhol-inspired frangrance for a limited addition collection.

The bottle design is inspired by Warhol's "Flowers" silkscreens and by Union Square, which was the second location of his Factory.

And the smell itself? It has a cool silver cloud musk and amber base, with lily of the valley top notes and a sweet blue freesia and white birchwood heart. " It is complex and quirky but does not cross the line into the land of strange for strangeness's sake. It is rich with amber, but not overwhelming. Incense-heavy, but not churchy. Sweet but not syrupy." - (perfumesmellinthings.com)

Artist: Siggi Eggertsson

Siggi Eggertsson is an illustrator from Iceland. Born in 1984, this young artist has already worked for an impressive clientele including HM, Coca-Cola, Nike, and Stussy.

What I love about Siggi is that most of his graphic designs have a patchwork style to them. The quilt-like quality of his works are the perfect juxtaposition of new and old.

I just love seeing young, succesfull artists with an authentic point of view.

If you wanna check out more of Siggi's works, an extensive collection of Siggi's colorful works can be found @ his website: www.vanillusaft.com

M.I.A. for Marc Jacobs

Have you seen the new Marc Jacobs ads? Marc's latest ad campaign (spring/summer 08) features my favorite Sri Lankin diva, M.I.A.

I'm happy to see her branch out in this way...Some might say that's she's on her way to selling out, but I think she's more importantly representing for an ethnic minority rarely seen in western fashion mags. Plus, the whole androgynous thing never gets old with me.

Love it!
