Proenza Schouler does it again with their Special Project collaboration entitled Snowball for their F/W 11 season. Teaming up again with cinematic genius Harmony Korine, he works to breathe life into this seasons collection as a conceptual collective, rather than merely a vehicle for consumption. Working with the Southwestern motifs and prints present throughout the lookbook, Korine communicates a larger social context- the impossibility of facilely ethical assimilation of historically rooted Western domination over natives.

Brilliant. With the velvet-print tops and pants draped around their necks?

Enough said.

Saw Phantogram and Class Actress this weekend at Vassar College with my friend, R (www.adailyintake.tumblr.com). Amazing performance, everything about it was so beautiful. The vocals, the beats, the environment. Definitely check them out, they’re absolutely dope, often described as “psych pop”.

This is my favorite song, entitled :When I’m Small”. Oh, and they’re also a couple. Can it get better? Amazing.

Sometimes by Beach Fossils. So fitting for today. Pre-hurricane music.
