I’m all about rejecting your closet and opting for a more elaborate way to display your own personal wardrobe. Then again, clothing dominates my life.

The dudes over at Apartment Therapy threw together a great post about a buddy that uses his kitchen as a closet. Check it out.

Its official. Pantone has announced the color of 2010.

Turquoise

“In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many – taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.”

‘les cravates par Hermès’

“Hermès, house of quality, is world renowned for its fine silk, and particularly for ties. They embody fine craftsmanship, masterful design and timeless style.

We expect to receive innovative and original pattern designs for ties that brighten up men’s wardrobe. we want to be surprised by refined ‘all-over’ designs - repeating or non repeating patterns in which the motifs recur in a design covering the entire cloth. You are asked to develop a new pattern that could be either a re-interpretation of the Hermes classic patterns (equestrian -, sport -, marine theme, whimsical animal motifs, geometric variations including stripes, plant and flower designs and the H delicately imprinted across the surface of the tie) or something completely different, that could be used for the silk-screen printing – or weaving technique.” – designboom

Who said the apocalypse could be chic. Nick, Dave and I have been watching a lot of “end-times” specials on The History Chanel and YouTube lately and think this is a must when the world is overrun by zombie death squads equipped with chemical weaponry.

Thanks Dave.

Yves Saint Laurent’s apartment’s treasures will be auctioned off in February. Until then Fashionista provides some eye candy for your enjoyment.

I know these are old but they make me smile. Great costumes from previous Marc Jacobs parties. Unfortunately there will be no such extravaganza this year because of the state of our global economy.

The wonderfully skilled, black gloved hand of Karl Lagerfeld that is. The Chanel Métiers D’Art Pre-Fall 2009 collection was rolled out the other night as a prelude to Lagerfelds new 10 minute short film. Apparently it is playing at Chanel.com but I cant seem to locate the video file.

More photos at WWD.

Wow. The plethora of amazing sketched designs on WWD for Michelle Obama is out of this world. Jackie O would be rolling over in her grave. Everything from DVF to Rodarte.
