I've never thought about owning a Rolls Royce before but I want this one...
What would your KAWS designed Rolls look like?

Army Green and...
All clothing and images found via Net-a-Porter
After having a twitter conversation with @PurpleDistrict I decided to do a new collage and post on Fall 2010 trends. If you haven't noticed Army green and leopard print are blazing hot this season. And all over the place its almost overwhelming! Sometimes army green can seem drab as hell so...drumroll...
I did a collage to brighten up army green (and fall sheesh) by using another popular color -- coral! I also decided to through purple into the mix because its my favorite color! I think that army green is almost a staple color like brown or black, it can go with almost any color.
As your wearing army green and leopard this season don't be afraid to mix other colors with it! I like to see various yellows (from sunny to mustard) and grays with army green. And don't be afraid to mix brown and black pieces! Learn the art of coordinating (not over matching) through experimenting and trying things different ways.
If you have any color, style or fashion questions don't hesitate to tweet at me at: http://www.twitter.com/chaythegr8 and I will blog your answer!
Until then,

2NE1 is my favorite group
I was at NYC Comic Con yesterday and saw a video by 2NE1 and immediately thought they were the cutest group I've ever seen. I love their style and their music is pop with a lot of dance hall inspiration. These girls are from South Korea and they are rocking it! (If you don't know about music in South Korea you need to get up on it!)
Check out some of their different looks:

Manish Rocks My Socks!
Manish Arora is one of my favorite designers. Check out this "visible human" outfit he made in 2008, its covered in Swarovski crystals.
Flashback: Popples
Photo taken in Tokyo by Mari J
I've been going back and revisting elements of my childhood and thus understanding why I am so obsessed with color. Popples was one of my favorite toys and cartoon, I even had Popples sheets as a kid. Their paws and ears were heart shapped and "Popples Make You Smile." Awww. I forgot about them until my recent trip to Tokyo. Tokyo makes you remember a lot of things you may have forgot about, especially toy wise. If you had it as a kid they have it for sale in one of their many vintage toy shops. There is also tons of new Popples merchandise all over Tokyo (I ended up buying a wallet, don't judge me). Check out this video I found on YouTube of a Popples episode:Until then, :)

Shimokitazawa 11.07.09
She's gotta be my favorite person I've photographed so far. Oh and I took this picture at 4pm in Shimokitazawa. She reminds me of an anime character I can't remember which one :/. That's a wig tucked in her top. Amazing creativity.
Until then, Inspired by the craziness!

The Illest (Looking) Band
I found this picture on the Afro-Punk website. Its of a band called Ebony Bones and I just loved their look! If I had a band it would look something like this LOL. I can't wait to hear and SEE more from them.

Sunday's Best!
Via Photobucket
I love the use of color in these ladies' suiting and accessories. Oh and by the way their hats are to die for! This image reminds me of all the time I spent in church as a kid. I used to look forward to seeing certain women each Sunday to see what kind of hat they would wear that week. AMORE.
Until then, THIS is Sunday's BEST!

C$tg X Cavwins.com
Earlier this year I teamed up with Cavalier of Cavwins.com to style an official photo launch of his t-shirt line. The result was a hard day of work in the studio with photographer Slinky and the B-Boy Crew Supreme Beings that paid of in some wonderful images. Oh and it was sponsored by FLUD Watches...Check 'em out:

Oh and there is a promo video of the launch that includes one of Cavalier's tracks "On the Map" and the Supreme Beings doing their thing. Enjoy!
I had so much fun doing this. Previously to this I hadn't done a photoshoot in a looooooong time and it was my 1st time working with a child model! How I missed the spontaneity on styling on a SET!!! I'm going to be shooting a lot this summer so get in touch with me if you have a dope concept in mind (serious inquires only). Expect more amazing images to come from me really soon...I have some crazy concepts floating around in my head right now.
Until then, :)

Collage by: C$tg
I didn't get to make it to the launch this week :(. But I had fun making this collage...to bad I won't be able to make these outfits in real life, (I'm focusing on saving $ right now). I heard the merch flew out the doors. There is a second shipment coming May 14th if you missed it as I did. But still....
Dear H&M,
Can you please stop limiting quantities of guest designers so that I don't have to fight with HER over the last size 2. She already getting 8 pairs of size 2 pants to sell on Ebay. I'd really appreciate it.
(Until then) Sincerely,
C$tg

Sometimes I Paint...
Because I need to express myself in another medium...
February 6, 2009: "Watchin' ME" Acrylic, paint markers and Sharpies on wood.
And then I find examples of collective consciousness after I am done expressing...
Found and taken on Adam Clayton Blvd in Harlem February 26, 2009
I find it very cool and interesting that myself and this artist/ sculptor chose almost the exact same color palette . I wonder what they were thinking about when they made this piece. Hmm...
Until then, Who's Watchin'?!

Inspiration Can Come From...
...the most simplistic sources. For example:
Edited and conceptualized by C$tg
House of Holland's (London) designer drew inspiration from paint swatches. What he did with that inspiration is what makes this collection amazing. I love his use of accessories in the head to toe color gradation. You may argue, "color gradiation is nothing new", but I ask 'what is new?' There is not much out there that we haven't seen before BUT there are always new ways to interpret old ideas.
Until then, Find new ways!

Emma Bell S/S '09
I was You-tubing (is that a word?) "London Fashion Week" trying to catch up on videos from current A/W '09 runway shows when this one popped up:
I had to post it because the hair and make-up are so creative. And the collection is fun, everything reminds me of Anime. I needed to see this at a time when everything is so drab and safe. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!
Until then, Creativity lives!
