Devendra Banhart + Oliver Peoples + The Rainbow House
More LA for you today! Continuing the trend of fashion houses creating artistic short films featuring collaborations with famous directors to go along with their print campaigns, Oliver Peoples has created a real show-stopper.
For their new campaign, they brought in former fashion editor-turned-director and photographer Lisa Eisner to shoot Devendra Banhart and his (stunning) real-life girlfriend Rebecca Schwartz at the famous John Lautner Rainbow House on Mulholland Drive in LA.
NSFW, in an artsy kind of way, I’m pretty sure this video couldn’t be any sexier. The colors, the light, the song, the setting… allow yourself to be lulled into a daydreamy haze.
PS- How awesome is this song? It is called Brindo and is by Devendra.

J. Crew does LA
I loooove the fact that J. Crew went outside their usual box for their newest catalog. When you think J. Crew catalog settings, you immediately think… coast of Maine canoe and picnic-spot type stuff. Not so for their latest, which is set in LA and wonderfully reminiscent of the Mad Men episode when they go to LA and Don goes MIA (not so much in the clothes, but in the photography)… cool blue pools, graphic black and white stripes, classic cars, and palm trees and sunshine.

Diana Moss’s Image Comparisons
Graphic designer Diana Moss, of the Miss Moss blog, puts together these awesome color and style comparisons using outfits from street fashion photos (there’s a whole series using Sartorialist photos, like the ones above), stills from old movies, and magazine editorials and matching them up with the palettes and styles of everything from vintage packaging, to wallpaper patterns, to old master paintings.
The result is a visual feast for the design/fashion/color/art lover. Seriously, I feel like I could pore over these for hours, I love the nuances she finds and presents, and I love the comparisons between past and present.
Isn’t interesting to see that those with a great eye can make even a really quirky palette work, and that creative types have been coming up with those off-beat combinations for ages? See image with the dusky orange and lavender going on. A painter loved it then, a fashionista loves it now. Never would have occurred to me, but cool to see that these two great minds both thought of it!
