While My Guitar Gently Walks The Runway

I am almost as obsessed with style as I am with music, and was amused by this photo in The New York Times's online coverage of last week's Spring/Summer 2009 Chanel show in Paris.

The model, wearing a gypsy-ish look, is nicely accessorized with a guitar, which the backstage stylist appears to believe she plays left-handed (when she's not busy texting her boyfriend or eating a meal consisting of three grapes). The bandolier grip is also something one doesn't often see on a musical stage. But the Chanel logo strap? I can see that catching on in certain circles, like maybe at The Pit on 90210.

Zappa Knits Zappa

On Friday, I went to the Candela/Decker Gallery to see work by the talented Diva Zappa. Her knitted works are colorful and remarkable. She donates a portion of the proceeds to the Watato Fund and Creative Visions, funding orphan care in Kenya. It's all a part of fashion week. Take a peak at some of her creations below.
