Moodboard 08.29.17

August 29, 2017 Mindy Koenigsfeld

There is something very calming for me about putting moodboards together. I always have a folder of images that I find inspiring or just aesthetically pleasing on my desktop. After a couple days of finding images I always seem to get a theme going sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. Regardless, the collecting is what inspires me. Looking through archives of images and the process of collecting them is exciting for me.

Off-White Resort 2018

August 6, 2017 Mindy Koenigsfeld

Favorite looks from Off-White's Resort 2018 Collection.

My favorite piece is this first linen bustier style top layered over the sheer lace turtleneck. It's soft and very lady-like but with the 'cool' factor that Virgil Abloh is known for. I appreciate that the collection still has an edge but with a more refined touch.

Favorite looks from the Saint Laurent collection. The leather, the silhouettes, the sparkle the bed-head hair - it's all too too good.

Comme Des Garçons + Junya Watanabe

December 6, 2015 Mindy Koenigsfeld

I was absolutely thrilled to visit the Comme Des Garçons store in Paris during my last visit . I had heard it was an incredibly well decorated interior and the clothes would not disappoint. Of course every Comme piece was super cool with the iconic stripes and heart logo but my favorites were the collaboration pieces with Designer Junya Watanabe. Geometric forms and shapes with coats that encompassed the body as if you were bundling up in a cocoon. It was really a stunning collection of art. I couldn't help but try on every piece!

Some pieces I struggled even to understand what was happening, but that made them so much cooler? I can't even imagine the creative thoughts that must come through Watanabe's head to produce such well made items of clothing. Really exciting experience and if you're in Paris, make sure to stop by - it will not disappoint.
