Nature

I know, I know, I'm pushing it with these two images. I shot the one of Frida after the Christian Dior Fall 2010 Haute Couture show, and the other one yesterday in front of the lake at St. Moritz. But aren't you floored by the striking similarities of the color palette? Nature never ceases to amaze me. Neither does fashion. Not on the same level of course, and we are of course influenced by the colors that we see around us. No doubt this view from St. Moritz lake would have been a notable source of inspiration for the textile designers who created the print of Frida's gorgeous late-sixties, vintage dress.

Denim and the mountain

O.K. I know that denim has pretty much been an obsession for me this summer. But I promise you that it is totally a coincidence that I follow up my post about Giulia with this image of me. You see, to spare my darling child from the sweltering heat in Milan, I relocated us to St. Moritz for a week. And what did I pack for our getaway? Three denim shirts and five pairs of jeans which I will rotate for the duration of my stay. A friend of mine snapped this image of me this morning during a short hike up the Muottas Muragl Alp Languard mountain. It's really nice to be here. Even though we've had a full morning, it still feels like a lazy Saturday. In case you're wondering, my shirt is from the Gap and my overalls are by Madewell. Hope you guys are enjoying your weekend!
