I recently received a wonderful gift. It is so treasured that it would probably be the first thing I would save should my house go on fire.
This precious gift is Isabel Toledo's Book: Fashion From The Inside Out.
This book means so much to me, not only because she is one of the greatest fashion designers of our time but also because she has an independant and thoughtful approach to design. Her talent is unquestionable and she is a true inspiration.
In my quest to discover more about her I found these wonderful images taken in her studio by Michael Mundy.

Thanks... P.





I adore Ruben Toledo's work. Have you seen his book covers for Penguin classics? Very beautiful.

Isabel and Ruben have more talent and true style between them than 80% of London, Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks combined. Thank God for them.

P. So true...it is incredible how they still seem to be hidden for the general fashion radar (and that is despite Obama's endorsement)...but I guess Alaia would be a similar case...incredible talents who are silently working away.
