		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Tokyo Fashion I was reintroduced to Towa Tei about a week ago.  It was there that I saw/heard the new video for his song, &#8220;Wordy&#8221;.  At first I was more impressed by the video than the song (by that I mean unsettled in a good way), in which it appears that [...]]]></description>

So the elevator breezes me up to the third floor, the doors open, and to my left there are blown-up [...]]]></description>

Keeping me company on a drive up the Pacific Coast Highway yesterday was their song &#8220;Comin&#8217; Though&#8221;,  which rounded the afternoon into perfection.

		<description><![CDATA[Favorite looks for the F/W 2011-2012 season come from John Rocha, Junya Watanabe, Valentino, Mary Katrantzou, Thakoon and Alexander McQueen.  Trends include Medievalism, moulded hourglass shapes, fuzzy skirts and oversized, misshapen coats.  And the humble tie stain makes an appearance at Anne-Sofie Back.

		<description><![CDATA[Before we&#8217;re caught in the rip current of Fashion Week, a few words of appreciation for Txell Miras&#8217; Fall/Winter 2011-2012 collection.  Miras&#8217; stubborn achromatism highlights her talent for layering fabrics and textures.  Most of the looks are modern (&#8221;modern&#8221; here being interchangeable with &#8220;post-apocalyptic&#8221;) and, as always, her patterns keep the eye busy. [...]]]></description>
