Zana Bayne from the garbage dress

Zana Bayne from san francisco is fashionable and inventive in quirky ways. she describes her style as "a mixture of luxe, minimalism, and avant garde. a bit eccentric but not without consideration." with lots of sequins, she's my new favourite. she really is experimental with her clothing choices and has such fearless style. i only wish i was this expressive everyday.

and now for lee's typical questions of zana's favourite things:

her favourite piece of clothing is "this dominatrix/matrix/powerbitch over-the-top rainproof pleated Zucca coat. " (it is featured below).  her favourite foods are persimmons during the fall and mangoes during the summer and scallop ceviche. oh, and also chocolate strawberries. Though it is hard to pick a top band, at the moment one of her favourite bands the gun club "takes a slight lead."  and, last but not least, her favourite animals are bats. not to sound freudian but this bat aspect does seems to be in her fashion unconscious as well. black is quite prominent but is contrasted with pops of colour or , preferably, sequins. she's definitely got wicked style.

street style films

city of god. a film about the ghetto featuring classical 70's thick rimmed glasses, photography that uses film, cory kennedy type roughness, and an awesome backstory. 

reprise. a norwegian foreign film with intense cinematography. as noted on the cover "this groovy film is spiked with an arresting, hyper-saturated mix of sadness and joy." reminiscent of the french new wave cinema style, the fashions are reflective of an upcoming cult classic.

la dolce vita. when i visited paris this summer i was reminded of this film. it is a presentation of the chicest street style you've ever seen. leather pointed shoes and classic dinner jackets. not to mention scandal and some pretty sleek cars.
