Elizabeth Carruther’s is a talented Sydney-based graphic designer who goes by the name of No-ellk. I found this series of “Facet Boards”, or mood boards, she created for The Last Magazine and was drawn to all the shapes within shapes. The beautiful geometric inspirations boards are bursting with concepts and colors drawn from eclectic sources which allow each viewer to create their own narrative.

Despite the growing trend in in fashion today to identify with the artisan, authentic artisanship is far and few within our contemporary consumer culture. La Maison du Pastel is one of these rare gems of history whose workmanship dates back to the 18th century. Since the acquisition by Henri Roche 1878, the house has specialized solely in the hand-making of pastels, at which time there were only 100 tints. By 1887 the range expands to 500 colors and from then on, “La Maison du Pastel” sees a continuous growth in palette, and Roché pastels become renown worldwide for their specific qualities.

Nostalgia Anew: Serenity Subversive

“It’s refreshing to see something that isn’t trying so hard to be new. There’s so much striving for newness now that newness feels less new.” – Marc Jacobs
Tough lowered its guard for the farewell wave to Bryan Park. And that was that. New York was quiet. Muted – the palette and the message both. Inspired by sleep, it felt like it. Not that we mind ambiguity every once in a while.
