antwerp
I heart Antwerp. In a big way. That little town is oozing style. The fashion there is still the most interesting I've seen, melding contemporary art and architectural aesthetics into wearable textiles. Of course the picture above isn't about that, I just thought it was funny they had a mannequin feeling himself up.
Lee and I were there for about three days, relaxing, eating, and generally just giving ourselves a serious vacation. One of the highlights was getting to see my friend Rob Manthey, a composer living in Holland who came over to Antwerp for an afternoon of shopping and dinner. Yes Rob, you should go back and get that edgy motorcycle jacket, it looked great on you.
I also bought some glasses, after looking everywhere for about four years for a frame that I loved I finally found the Belgian line Theo. I can see what I've been missing and I think my eyes were actually worse than I thought. The amount of detail I can make out now in far distances is startling.
Now we're at Schiphol on our way back to San Francisco. I was very sad about leaving Europe yesterday. But with a little luck, it won't be too long before we're back here again.
