Lisztomania by Phoenix.

Did you see them on SNL? Between Seth Rogen hosting and Phoenix performing, I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Or, more specifically, get the Blocked Toyo Romanelli by Still Life. My pal (and colleague) Len sent in these shots of the handcrafted Trilby, which is available at Freshman in Vancouver.

“If I wasn’t such a nerd for bicycle safety,” he says. “I would cruise all summer in one.”

Check out the making of here.
Want to contribute to the Anthology? (Of course you do!) Send me a note at theanthology@live.com. Thanks again, Len.
‘That’s the way I like it’ pretty much sums up why I love getting clothes custom made. I can get wool slacks that fit how I want them to.

Lined with just the right shade of fuchsia silk.

Simply because I want it that way.
without including my two favourite rings (k, fine: my two only rings). The band was designed with the help of my talented designer friend (you’re the best, Ben).

And the ruby was inspired by these earrings from Vogue.

Which one day maybe, hopefully will one day be mine.
I could spend forever on the selby, which features the out-of-this-world homes, studios and workspaces of some very interesting people.

With photos, paintings and videos by the remarkable Todd Selby.

I can’t get enough. Can you?

It got me thinking about my creative space, which consists of my couch and my PowerBook (with Bernie on my lap and Leroy at my feet). What’s yours?
When I fell in love with an illustration of a blustery fall day by my friend Michael Doehle, he silk-screened it into a men’s American Apparel t-shirt for me.

Though Bernie’s less interested in the shirt than the camera strap.

I love it so much I’ve hardly ever worn it because I never want to wash it (heaven forbid it shrinks). Is that so wrong?

Is there anything you consider too precious to wear?
I’m going in June and the wait is killing me (patience isn’t one of my virtues).

My friend Mike sent me a note about wittistanbul (thanks Mike), which, as Apartment Therapy points out, is done up in loads of patterns but few colours.

With a rather stunning mix of modern and midcentury modern inspiration.

Have you been to Turkey? Where should I go? What should I do?
Theatrical, really. Had these fine feathered headpieces custom made by Alice Hart.

Not really the type of thing you wear on casual Friday.

But definitely the type of thing you wear to the ballet.

Love how peacock feathers are the colour(s) of the ocean. Can you think of anything more beautiful?
Been listening to “No One Does It Like You” by Department of Eagles over and over and over. Take a look at the video which premiered at MoMA in NYC last week. It’s, um, hauntingly beautiful (sorry).

Thanks Kyle.
