I love this super matchy-matchy lookbook for the Vish! Spring/Summer 2012 collection "Quiet, please." The Brazilian designers were inspired by the Wiener Werkstätte and Viennese design, keeping the collection clean and uncomplicated. - Hazel

Now Rachel Sumpter has re-designed and embroidered the covers of three more classic books (Little Women, The Wind in the Willows, and The Wizard of Oz) for them. Don't they make you want to settle down like little old lady and embroider pictures of everything and anything? - Hazel

After watching this StyleLikeU video it's easy to conclude that Lucia Ribisi, Giovanni Ribisi's daughter, is probably cooler than everyone—and she's only 14 years old! Her style is an eclectic mix of vintage finds and textbook teen items like beat up purple converse and multiple bangles on each arm. You also might have seen her in the Weetzie Bat inspired shoot for Paper Magazine or heard her singing in songs for Beck and Sia. A musician, artist and a member of the Riot Grrrl Scouts, it seems like Lucia Ribisi can only get more awesome in 2012.- Hazel

Pot's diverse use of material and love of texture make the exhibit a truly interesting collection of his work. - Hazel
