Heidi Slimane, genius designer, genius photographer…..check out his first west coast show before it comes down the 29th of January, for info on the exhibit click Heidi Slimane @ MOCA. It’s at the MOCA Pacific Design Center which is smack in the middle of West Hollywood and very easy to drop by. Lunchtime art!

We’re looking to Mr. Ruscha for inspiration as we dive into working on the Spring 2013 collections here at Geren Ford . He is a visionary. I was lucky enough to have the the chance to see him speak at The Soho House here in Los Angeles a few months ago. It was inspirational to hear him talk about his artistic journey in such a personal, accessible and honest way. The offices at Geren Ford are currently  ordering up as much of his work as we can get our hands on. To get an on-line version of what I was lucky enough to experience watch the wonderful segment with Stella McCartney  recorded some time ago for Iconoclasts which is posted below.  If only we could all aspire to have as much insight and passion as Ed does we would have a better world!

John C. Talbot is a bit of an addiction for me. I’ve been collecting his wares for a few years now. He works with the wood from trees fallen in the urban jungle. He makes the most wonderful precious but useable bowls, vessels and cutting boards among other things. He’s at the Hollywood Farmers Market most Sundays and at Geren Ford we are chipping away at him to let us host his genius at the ANNEX. Check out his body of work on his site John C. Talbot  his works are an investment but they are very very very worth it!

These ladies really rocked the red carpet tonight! Congrats to everyone….

Who doesn’t needs a bit more of slow motion hot man to start off 2012….

We’re plotting and planning our time in NYC for February fashion week festivities and we know we’re not prepared being from LA and all we need coats! We’ve got the classic black (Jil Sander we’ll have for the rest of our lives…) checked off the list but need something a bit less heavy and more playful. Here are a few under consideration. Carven, Carven, Carven Carven…we’re in LOVE!
