"SHE WAS DEPRESSED, SHE WROTE, ACCORDING TO A TRANSCRIPT OF THE CHAT SEEN BY THE DAILY BEAST. SHE AND HER BOYFRIEND HAD JUST HAD ANOTHER BRUTAL PHYSICAL FIGHT. SHE'D PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE; HE'D YANKED HER HAIR. BUT SHE WAS AFRAID TO LEAVE HIM, AFRAID TO SUFFER THE AGONY OF BEING APART. THE LAST TIME THEY SEPERATED, SHE HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO EAT, DROPPING FORM 112 TO 99 LBS. HER FRIEND BEGGED HER TO LEAVE TOWN, BOOK A JOB, CALL HER MOTHER. NO, SHE SAID. SHE'D MISS HER DOG. SHE ENDED THE CONVERSATION ABRUPTLY, SAYING SHE WAS GOING OFF TO CLEAN THE HOUSE."

Pharrell Williams for Modern Painting

This month Pharrell Williams shows off his passion for design in the December issue of Modern Painters which is dedicated to Art’s Generation Next. While many artists and celebrities seem to be doing design collaborations these days – from sneakers to accessories – few are taking it to Pharrell’s level. Read more after the jump:
Pharrell’s collaboration with Japanese pop-artist Takashi Murakami called The Simple Things (2008-2009) - a six-foot-tall fiberglass, steel and acrylic head set in gold and encrusted in 26,000 gemstones - sold at Emmanuel Perrotin’s gallery for $2 Million. In the creature’s mouth are seven objects – including a cupcake, a Coke can and a Heinz ketchup bottle – that Williams regards as underappreciated essentials. (“Imagine the public outcry if there were no ketchup for a day?”)
The Grammy Award-winning producer and cofounder of the rock band N.E.R.D. also has a passion for furniture – turning again to Perrotin and the French firm Domeau & Peres to manufacture the “Perspective” chair. (sketch and image below). His newest project with Craig Robins is expected to be unveiled at next month’s Design Miami, but details are still hush-hush.
Pharrell’s definition of art:
“When you’re moved, you’re moved, and if you should seize the moment to express the feeling. It’s that moment of expression that I define as art.”

Tips on How to Recover from Blog Burnout
This post is by Michelle from Wicked Whimsy We’ve all been there: burned out, frustrated, staring at the screen and willing inspiration to come to us. Obviously, the best way to beat burnout is to avoid it, and an older IFB post covers that topic quite well. That doesn’t change the fact that sometimes, burnout sneaks [...]Links à la Mode: The IFB Weekly Roundup

Tamar - Tel Aviv, Ha'Sharon Street
באותו אחר הצהריים, נזכרתי בתמר קרוון עת התבוננתי בתיק דמוי עור שחור, ודימיינתי בחדווה כיצד הוא הולך להצטרף למלתחתי. שעות ספורות לאחר מכן נתקלתי בה במקרה. לא יכולתי לעמוד בפני השמלה המנצנצת והצמודה ושאלתי אותה האם תסכים להצטלם. לשמחתי, היא מיד הסכימה אך טרחה להתנצל תוך כדי: "היום אני לבושה ממש טראש", אמרה. ואני השבתי שטראש יכול להיות דבר חיובי, על אחת כמה וכמה במקרה הזה, כשהוא מבוצע כהלכה.
Unexpected Capture - Jordan River, Friday
גשם הזלעפות החל להכות נמרצות בשעת צהריים של יום שישי בעל מזג אוויר הפכפך במיוחד. בעודי מכוונת את עדשתי לכיוונם של עשרות הצליינים שגדשו את אתר התיירות, בעוד הללו מנסים לתור במהירות האפשרית אחר מחסה סביר, לכדו עיני גבר שנראה שליו לנוכח ההמולה המתחוללת סביבו. לבוש במגפי בוקרים ובחולצת ג'ינס מכופתרת הוא שאל אותי אם יבקשו ממנו חתימות בשבוע הבא. השבתי שאין לדעת.אם יזדמן לאחד מכם לקפוץ ל"ירדנית" בימים הקרובים, אולי תעשו את איש הצוות הנ"ל למאושר במיוחד.
Rakefet - Jerusalem, Yesterday
לרוב, הנני משתדלת לגרום למצולמים שלי להרגיש בנוח ככל הניתן. הסיטואציה הינה מאיימת קמעה עבור רבים מעוברי האורח, על אחת כמה וכמה כאלו שאינם מכירים את התחום, ועל כן אימצתי לי שיטות שונות שכל מטרתן היא להפחית מעט מן המתיחות האופיינית עם כיוונה של המצלמה.אולם דווקא במקרה הנוכחי, היה משהו מעניין בחוסר הנינוחות של רקפת, שלא פסקה מלהביט מצד לצד בשתי עיניה, בתקווה למצוא איזושהי ישועה שם-באופק. וכך, מצאתי את עצמי נמנעת מאותן השיטות הבדוקות, שכבר הפכו לטבע שני בעת התבוננותי דרך העדשה.
Omer - Jerusalem, Last Week
לא יכולתי שלא להבחין בשילוב יוצא הדופן בין קשיחות לרכות, בין צבעים חמים לקרים.
מחוויות צייד הפרצופים בארץ הקודש
אם פתחתי את השבוע עם סקוט שומן, אין סיומת מושלמת עבורו ממקבילו, איוון רודיק, שפקד את ארץ הקודש בחודש שעבר. בסיום ביקורו ערכתי עמו ראיון שהתפרסם אתמול במוסף סגנון.כאשר סיפר לי רודיק כי בכוונתו להגיע לתל אביב, לא יכולתי שלא לתהות כיצד תצטייר בבלוגו עיר החוף החמה. למרבה הצער, ההתלהבות סביב תל אביב שאפפה את צייד הפרצופים כאשר נפגשנו בשבוע האופנה, התחלפה בפגישתנו, ביום האחרון לשהייתו בישראל, לאכזבה מרה. עם הדברים הקשים שאמר בפניי על האופנה התל-אביבית ועל התל-אביבים עצמם, ושהתפרסמו אתמול, קשה לי שלא להסכים.
אני מניחה שרוב קוראי הכתבה יקטלגו את רודיק במהירות כ"אנטישמי" וכ"עוכר ישראלי", במקום להפנות שאלות כלפי עצמם בנוגע לאופן בו הם תופשים את עולם האופנה ואת לבושם שלהם. לעניות דעתי, רודיק אבחן היטב את חוסר הנכונות הישראלית לקחת סיכונים אופנתיים מחד, ולהפנות גב לקלאסיקות אופנתיות מאידך. השילוב של שניהם יוצר לבוש משמים במקרה הטוב וחסר טעם במקרה הרע.
שלא תטעו, בשנים האחרונות למדתי להעריך את האופנה הישראלית, ללמוד על יתרונותיה, ולהיות עדה להתפתחותה המהירה. עם זאת, אני עדיין סבורה שיש לנו דבר או שניים ללמוד מן האקספירמנטליות הלונדונית, מהשיק הפריזאי, ומהטרנדיות השטוקהולמית. מה דעתכם?
... The Sartorialist Book Has Arrived
בסוף השבוע נחת בפתח ביתי (במהירות ראויה לציון), ספרו החדש של סקוט שומן, הלוא הוא הסרטוריאליסט. הקלות המפתיעה בה מצאתי את הקופסא של אמזון מונחת על מיטתי, הינה אנטי קליימקס מוחלט לחיפושים המפרכים שערכתי בשלושת החודשים האחרונים בניסיון נואש לאתר אותו.
הכל התחיל בווינה, אז סיפרו לי כי הספר הגיע זה עתה לקולט (שבפריז). מיד עם נחיתתי על אדמת צרפת, כיתתי רגליי במהירות אל החנות המובטחת, שם התברר לי כי הספר כבר אזל. אולם היה זה רק הסיפתח: במרוצת אותו החודש, התברר לי כי הספר אזל לא רק מקולט אלא גם מכל חנות אחרת בפריז ובברלין. לא נתתי לתחושת ההחמצה לייאש אותי, והחלטתי להביא את ההר אל מוחמד (או: להזמין את הספר אלי).כשידי הרועדות אחזו בו בהתרגשות, התחלתי לתור אחר ארבע התמונות האהובות עלי, המוצגות כאן לפניכם. שלוש מתוכן אותרו בהצלחה. ועל אף התמונה החסרה (למטה משמאל), ספרו של שומן מצליח לקבץ את הזכורים שבצילומיו ל-507 עמודים עטופים בכריכה רכה. מזמן לא מצאתי תוספת כה נאה למדף הספרים המתפקע שלי.
Gentleman Biker - Vienna, Innere Stadt
גברברי וינה אוהבים חליפות; בין אם מדובר בזקני העיר שלוגמים אספרסו צמוק במשך שעות כשלצווארם העבה קשור פפיון קטן מידות, בין אם מדובר בגבר בגיל העמידה לבוש בג'קט ועניבה ירוקים ובמכנסיים סגולים, ובין אם מדובר בסטודנט צעיר בעל חליפה צרה - רובם ככולם יתהלכו ברחובות הבירה האוסטרית עם לבוש שמבחינת רובנו, כאן בארץ, מיועד לכל הפחות לחתונה של החבר הכי טוב.
Parisait - Paris, Rue Saint-Honoré
במהלך היומיים שעמדו לרשותי בפריז הקיץ, נפגשתי עם כנרת רוזנבלום הלוא היא "פריזאית". התהלכנו בין רחוב ריבולי לסנט הונורה, ובדרכנו לקולט (לתור אחר ספרו של סקוט שומן), קלטו עיני את עלמת החן הנ"ל. את הכתבה שהתקבלה בסופו של דבר אתם יכולים לקרוא בדף הפייסבוק.

Kill Pixie in Berlin at MK Gallery
Mark Whalen aka Kill Pixie has a new solo show at MK Gallery in Berlin opening this Saturday. Kill Pixie: Supreme Beings
Exhibition Dates: 24 October – 19 December 2009
In his latest body of work, Kill Pixie’s masked humanoid characters inhabit celestial pools and spas in a futuristic bathhouse where gravity loses all meaning. The humorous candy-colored geometric paintings depict scenes of excessive human consumption and obsession with objects, as the characters worship the almighty dollar. Inspired by folk art, mechanical sciences, structures, and urban culture, Kill Pixie says, “My work is an exploration of the objects and the elements that repeat to infinity, and I am using these elements to illustrate what I am trying to communicate.”
Juxtapoz 15 Year Anniversary Art Auction
Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine celebrates its 15th anniversary with “The Big Payback,” an online charity art auction and a special event in Los Angeles hosted by Upper Playground. The event benefits the non-profit Power House Project of Detroit.
”The Big Payback” auction features original artwork from over 100 national and internationally renowned contemporary artists including: Swoon, CR Stecyk III, Robert Williams, Todd Schorr, Estevan Oriol, Mister Cartoon, Shepard Fairey, Doze Green, Todd “Reas” James, Thomas Campbell, Tim Biskup, KR, Big Daddy Roth, WK Interact, Clayton Brothers, Andrew Schoultz, James Jean, Ron English, David Choe, Mike Giant, Paul Insect, Jeremy Fish, Alex Pardee, Saber, David Ellis, Boogie, D*Face, Cody Hudson & Herbert Baglione.
This means a lot to me and I'm so excited to see two of my favorite art driven companies and so many of my favorite artists lend themselves to such a great cause. I lived in Detroit about 12 years ago. I saw the process of deterioration that the city was under. It was sad, beautiful, and still inspired hope.

Where the Wild Things Are
Where the Wild Things Are is probably most everyone I know that is around my age or younger's favorite childhood book. Obviously it's one of mine. The story is sweet and the illustrations are amazing. The thought of making this amazing book into a film is a daunting task. Although after watching the trailer I believe Spike Jonze is up to the task. Using an Arcade Fire track as the theme doesn't hurt either. Where the Wild Things Are comes out October 16th. I can hardly wait.
Andy Kehoe
I love the work of Portland artist Andy Kehoe. You can buy prints of his work through his Etsy shop.
Ferris Plock+Kelly Tunstall’s SEA OF LOVE
This Thursday is the opening of "Sea of Love" at 111 Minna. The latest large-scale collaborative exhibition by San Francisco-based artists Ferris Plock and Kelly Tunstall, "Sea of Love" is an entirely new body of work that explores relationships between sailors and mermaids, stories of lost love and misguided navigation, the diversity of creatures inhabiting the oceans and their individual roles as different vessels of possibility.
Henry Gunderson
Henry Gunderson is not just amazingly talented, but half my age (am I getting old or is he just really young, please don't answer that). He has a solo show coming up this week Thursday July 23rd at Fecal Face Dot Gallery.
Business Savvy Artist?
I know, crazy concept, an artist with business savvy. Yet another reason why Jeff Soto is one of my favorite current artists. The click above is from The RunUp. It's a great movie that includes a number of talented artists.
Shoe Whore
So I never really got the shoe whore thing. I didn't think it would happen to me. I guess it's inevitable. The last few months have been a little out of control. I'm going to sell some stuff today.
Yesterday made it official for me. I bought a fantastic pair of Chie Mihara mary janes and then the cute pair of Prada above for a great price off this blog that I'm apprehensive to share with the world. ;)
Miles Thompson at La Luz de Jesus Gallery
The fun and fabulous Miles Thompson has a solo show opening tonight in LA at the La Luz de Jesus Gallery. Check it out.
Jeff Soto tattoo
Above are the 2 images by Jeff Soto that were part of an exhibit he did at Jonathan Levine in 2006. These are the images I'm basing my tattoo on. Once I've got it started I'll post the images.
Martin Wittfooth and Jon Todd at Yves Laroche
I've previously posted about my love of both Jon Todd's work and the amazing Yves Laroche gallery in Montreal. They are currently having an amazing show featuring the work of Martin Wittfooth and Jon Todd.
Jane South
I love the very architectural work of Jane South. Above are a few images from her last show at Spencer Brownstone Gallery in NY. Check more out here.
New Dalek Art
I love love love the new work by Dalek. You can check out the new work being stalled for a new show on his blog.
GRSF Anniversary
Tomorrow night is the opening reception and party for Giant Robot SF's 15 year anniversary party. Looks to be a great event.
AJ Fosik at WhiteWalls SF
It's been a while since I posted, but this one is a good one. One of my favorite artists has a new show opening tonight at WhiteWalls SF. Check out AJ Fosik this weekend through July 4th.
STIL IN BERLIN
Stil in Berlin in print
We broadened our efforts to bring you something new - in cooperation with Don't Panic and Supermarkt Studio, we published our first printed issue. It's all about Winter Vintage Fashion and includes fine and exclusive photography of outstanding winter styles, an interview with Berlin's Nightboutique host Roman Vardijan on how to track down extraordinary vintage delicacies, and an all-new guide to nine excellent Berlin vintage shops you might have never heard of.
The magazine is a free supplement to the Don't Panic Berlin December issue (also free), which you find in stores, bars, cinemas and restaurants now. (Click here to see a choice of 40 locations.)
For all those, who don't live in Berlin we offer the possibility to order it by mail - just send an email to stilinberlin@gmail.com to get the details. (Charge for mailing in Germany: 4 Euros, Europe: 7 Euros, International: 10 Euros / 15$)

Cut!
The first thing that catches my eye when photographing on the streets is a person's hair. A great haircut is almost always accompanied by a great sense of style, and anyone that's been to Berlin can notice almost immediately that there are some truly unique (for better or for worse) hairstyles on the streets. And so, while we're forced to cover up in bulky winter coats during these winter months, I've decided to start a new side-feature on Stil in Berlin, which I'm calling 'Cut!' So here's the first.
