Inspiration Gathering

With a new exciting project in the works, I’ve been in inspiration gathering mode (if you couldn’t already tell from my Pinterest). Here are my major inspiration sources at the moment…

Art Book Stand is an LA based art book shop with a carefully curated selection of niche publications. The Conversations portion of their websites delves into the everyday lives and inspirations of artists. I love reading about other artists favorite books and influences. It opens up an entirely new world to explore. My “to read” list has grown exponentially since discovering this site. So looking forward to visiting the Art Book Stand next time I am in LA.

Inspiration gathered // Books to read – Woman Native Other by Trinh T. Minh-ha and Infinity Net: The Autobiography of Yayoi Kusama via a Conversation with Johanna Tagada

Closet Visit is a better version of The Coveteur because they aren’t trying to sell you anything, they just photograph amazing closets and interview inspiring, stylish people. For me, this site is more about reading the interview than the images (although they are inspiring on their own level). I love to read about what other creatives are reading, listening to and who they look to for style inspiration.

Encens magazine is published twice a year and instead of using their publication to sell clothing and an aspirational lifestyle, it highlights fashion as an art form instead. Their informative interviews and insight on past and present dressing feels fresh. I recommend getting your hands on a hard copy, but until then you can browse their site.
