Ever since I was a child I have always been fascinated with Alice in Wonderland. Whether it was giant coloring books that I could spend hours filling in or different books and illustrations, I’m continually attracted to the ideas and the imagery. Then there was that wonderful editorial in Vogue several years back that astounded me.

One of the best editorials ever in my opinion.

But I think that I found something even more precious. A vintage reel of Alice in Wonderland from 1903. Apparently, it is the first filmed version of Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic. It’s frozen in a sepia-toned, silent celluoid history.

Hello lovelies! It has been awhile and I am most sorry. I have missed updating but there have been some matters that I have had to deal with…nothing serious, just life.

I just have some time to post about this wonderful new designer who I am over the moon about.

Le Sang des Betes

The clothes are sculptural and geometric, right up my alley.

Trang Chau is the designer behind Le Sang des Betes (which roughly translates to the blood of the beasts). Hmm! Trang is based out of LA and cites 18th century gothic architecture and the films of Rainer Werner Fassbinder and David Cronenberg as inspiration. Awesome…

Please, please check out these amazing pieces of clothes. If I could wake up one morning to find a few of these sprinkled throughout my closet, I would be a very happy girl.
