vomit pink

Here's a (shaky) video I took flipping through the insert I curated with Edward of Meadham Kirchhoff for the last issue of GARAGE Magazine. It's all included in the intro I wrote, scanned in below, but basically when Dasha asked me if I had any ideas for the debut issue I was feeling really inspired by blogs and zines of girls and young women who wanted to take Riot Grrrl nostalgia a little further through their writing/photography/etc., and felt very drawn to the idea of creating a space for that in a prestigious art and fashion magazine. When I sent all those links to Edward he was inspired by them too and because he basically lives in a vacuum of lace and stickers and ribbons he thought we should decorate their photos and everything ourselves, so everything throughout the insert is a little embellished.

Unfortunately parts were edited out once we passed it on to the magazine, but thanks to everyone who contributed and let us use their work: Arvida, Beth of Girls Get Busy, Claire, Clementine of GrrrlVirus, Grace Miceli, Kaitlyn of Kerplunk-Punk, Kelley McNutt, Louise Gray, Molly Soda, Natalya Lobanova of happy2bsad, Petra Collins, Sharna, and Sophie Convey.

I also moderated an interview between Mellody Hobson and Ikram Goldman for that issue, but the magazine is too speshul to bend and scan and everything. It was a delight, however, to interview businesswomen for a fashion magazine. This is me, recommending that you buy and read it, because there are also Prada dresses made out of fruit, and that's just down right enjoyable.

The sound and graceful movement of your left hand tells me that this beautiful insert is pretty much flat. However, visually, you would swear that each page is weighed down with textural delight. And as they say, "Seeing is believing!"

That looks so incredible! Oh my goodness! Also, for some reason, the sound of the flipping pages was so soothing. That was so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing!

I love Meadham Kirchoff! They are by far my favourite designers. I can't wait to see what they pull out of the bag for aw12. This book is amazing! I love the aesthetic of it all and the prints, lettering, creativity and textures; not forgetting the title of it. 'Vomit Pink' is brilliant! I'm also a huge fan of Petra Collins' photography. Great job! Xxx

cool blog well done.

Bella said...

What a cute zine. Love the mix of the slightly tough cover and the cute cartoons inside. I think I love the back cover the most, though. A good zine is hard to come by. Also...I adore Grace Miceli. She contributed to a zine that I work for.

-Bella

p.s. Clementine and Molly Soda are GREAT as well. Love them. :D

My daughter and I ordered a dress from Doll House which was to be custom made. I placed the order on a Monday and was surprised to get a phone call the following Monday to say the dress had arrived it only took eight 8 days. I took the dress home and when I put the dress on my daughter, I realised that had just altered the dress (in store) and found pins still in the side seams. I was so disgusted with their lie – when confronted they would not talk to me or acknowledge what they had done. To all you mum’s out there DON’T BUY FROM DOLL HOUSE.
