We just found Miss Wool 2009 ! When i received that mail last week and discover those photos i told myself "waaw this girl must live in Wool Land !". In fact Geraldine who works at Noa Shop in Genève is in a incredible addict to the collection as you can see.
She already knitted one Zion Lion hat, two Lula Hoop scarves, one Lil'Joe and a Nijin Skina kit — and it's so nice ! And of course she has the gang spirit as she worked in family for those cool photos taken by her talented brother Anthony !
Please notice the perfect "swiss touch" with the cute Zermatt patch on her Sherpa blue Lula Hoop. Want one like this too !
Join the gang — Geraldine

The Selby is in your place
Remember when we talked about Nadège apartment pictured by Todd Selby ? Tonight the man is opening his own exhibition "The Selby is in your Place" at colette (Paris). He's showing a compilation of the exploration work he started in June 2008 about creative friends in their creative environment. From his own friends he started photographing friends of friends from authors to actors, painters, performers and designers.
You'll discover apartments of André, Pierre Hermé, Scott Campbell, Peaches Geldof, Michael Stipe, Ines de la Fressange, Xavier Veihlan, and more... Today his site is garnering up to 30,000 hits a day, and now travelling from New York to Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Mexico, London and Paris in order to satisfy our curiosity !
At the same time Mr Selby gives us as a little gift beautiful pictures of our home sweet New York home, The Smile ! Enjoy the atmosphere !

A Smile in the city
After a grand opening and a few last touches with the paintbrush, The Smile is finally ready to welcome lovers of such unique atmospheres.
Designed by Carlos Quirarte and Matt Kliegman, The Smile is a wonderful place to be alive. Both a café and a concept store, the little boutique on 26 Bond Street offers a sharp selection of rare and irresistible objects. Moscot glasses, teas by Mariages Frères, men’s items by Adam Kimmel, candles by Cire Trudon surrounding our Wool and The Gang kits of course !
On the other side of the old counter, we find Melia Marden, the trendiest snack-maker in New York, who prepares right in front of you, an absolutely incredible "Brie and Chocolate Baguette" (isn’t that right, Jade?). This young woman has created a French-inspired lunch menu to knock you off your feet, a must in NYC.
Carlos, madly in love with the New York artistic scene, has reserved a special place at the heart of the shop. Above the mantelpiece, an artist will be installed each month. A work of art hung from the brick wall, with books, DVDs and CDs that inspire him will be on sail. For the opening, the mantelpiece has been dedicated to Nate Lowman, and in April it will be the turn of photograph Stephen Shore.
With Scott Campbell (one of the most respected tattoo-artists in New York) who's installing his parlour in the basement and with an incredible coffee machine from 1963 (Faema E61), The Smile has the ambition of offering the warmest place in the Big Apple to welcome creative people.
