Joachim Schmid is obsessed with photographs just like us! This in depth website presents his photo arrangements from 1986-1995.

He himself suspects that “few people in the world have looked at more photographs” than he has. At one point he counted: he had looked at 10,000 photographs in one day alone.

Yesterday I took a trip to the New York Public Library – Picture Collection. The Picture Collection is a room full of folders stuffed with images that have been torn from books and mounted on white paper. (you can see some shelves in the background) Almost every subject imaginable is available for viewing. It’s like a giant, walk-in inspiration archive. Get your hands dirty, touch those images! I pulled my default search term from the shelves – WEAVING – & discovered looms from all over the world. Powerful stuff. I really want to become an apprentice weaver in Uruguay, or Mexico. So much to learn!

Take me back to MTV in 1993! The impressive & thorough 120 Minutes Archive will provide you with hours of music television nostalgia —featuring nearly every 120 Minutes play list. Or, if you are a young person—hours of ’90s inspiration. This post goes out to my junior high BFF Vanessa, who introduced me to 120 Minutes, green hair, flannel shirts, Doc Martens & everything alternative.

She’s the corny girl who wants to hang out.
These clothes are for the corny girl, are for the stale girl who wants to be gross.

This is ‘nude housewife’. It’s ready to just fall off the body.
I knew it was gross but I just had to take that risk because basically tomorrow, tomorrow is going to be grosser than today.

Picture this : The late ’90s, Paris. And MTV’s House of Style with Todd Oldham’s segment Todd Time. Andre Walker is fashion genius. He talks with Todd about his recent collection entitled, Someone I’m in Love with Then. Watch the Todd Time interview here. (Galliano is at the end of the segment but I didn’t even get that far) All quotes above are by Andre Walker.

Intense & informative works by Redback Graphix based in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. I had a hard time finding information about Redback Graphix. Any Australians have more info to offer? 

From 1979 to 1994, the Australian design and screen printing studio Redback Graphix produced posters that combined witty graphics with eye-watering colors to give voice to a raft of pressing social issues – from AIDS awareness and alcohol abuse to the promotion of local films and music gigs.
