Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m interrupting your regularly scheduled programing because I need your help!
I am looking for Chicago-area design students or fledgling designers who would like to have a press kit produced for you (including professional photos of your line on FORD models) for next to nothing…

Not only did Alex choose to wear purple pants to match his purple shoes, but he dyed the pants himself! Awesome.
I get a lot of business cards from taking people’s pictures, which I love, because then I can put post a link to their website or blog. So here is Alex’s site. Oh, and I’ll give you three guesses as to what color his business card is…
There's something delightfully Elizabethan about this professional, duotone look.
“Why is ‘rough’ spelled wrong?” Here’s a quick lesson in fashion history!
In this rare example of interspecies communication, a panda and a shark overcome their habitational differences to share a laugh between classes.
Ok, so it's burgundy. But he's also carrying a nice man bag. Way to be confident in your masculinity, guy!
Stylist Kristi Porcelli deters the doldrums of the bleak winter weather in a St. Tropez-ready silk dress.
In case anyone was wondering what I wear while trolling the Chicago streets for style... this is not it. I usually wear a coat. But today, I froze my tail off for your viewing pleasure.
Print’s not dead. It’s just undergoing a slow process of evolution. Here to help things along is Qlix Magazine, and I am thrilled to say that laying here, spread out on my coffee table, is the very first issue!
As blogs and webzines have done before it, this uniquely formatted fashion publication demands that we rethink our idea of what a magazine should be.
Qlix comes neatly packaged in a printed envelope that contains fold-out fashion storyboards, a poster-sized collection of mini articles, and collectable trading cards featuring the industry “up-and-comers”. In short, it has all the fun of a kid’s magazine, but with sophisticated and grown-up content.
I just had to know where the founder, Tenisha Anderson, got her inspiration. Here’s her story:
“During my time at Colophon 2009 in Luxembourg, being around various independent magazine publishers, learning how they started, and just seeing how enthusiastic people are about print magazines, really inspired me to pursue a long time goal of starting a magazine. Qlix’s design layout was inspired by a collaboration of several publications I came across at Colophon 2009 that bucked the normality of what a magazine is suppose to look like…
Plus, the talent we cover isn’t only an emerging designer, or photographer, but we also try to cover the talent that is sometimes forgotten: business mavens behind a new fashion PR firm, or a fresh forward illustrator, a crazy-skilled textile designer, fashion writer, a trend forecaster, etc.”
My final word? This magazine simply oozes with cool.

I took this photo last weekend of a girl I met at a friend's birthday get-together, and then totally forgot about it. I loved her hood! If I remember correctly, it sparked a discussion on Harry Potter.
