Ring in the New Year with Debbie Carlos

Twenty-Seven Names

New Zealand label Twenty-Seven Names' Winter 2012 lookbook rocks our socks off. Talk about using blending in to stand out. We are definitely going to continue to follow this brilliantly printed brand. A big thanks to Miss Moss, the site we found Twenty-Seven Names through. By the looks of it, sounds like they are as excited about this lookbook as we are!

Lonny Mag Color

 

Lonny magazine is great. We especially loved their "Crazy For Color" feature. Umm...recognize the fabulous print in the Gold section? Yeah, that's right, it's a Pierre Frey print. To see more, check out a post we did featuring more of their lush home textiles. As for the other amazing picks these editor's chose, we can't get enough of the Munir Rug and Carry Buffet.

Pucci Book

Posting on Dries Van Noten's splendid project of offering up their archival prints to make your very own mixed print frock, got us inspired to look for other ways designers are representing their prints from the past. Pucci has a beautiful (and huge) book featuring where they've been in the world of print design. It features their vintage looks and explains the inspiration behind them.What inspired Pucci back then are still influential today, and this is why we love this book. To top it off, this book can will look so good on our bookshelves, as each one is bound with a different, recent Pucci print. Check out some recent Pucci on the runway here.
