tavi love


Yep, yep, yep... it's Tavi on the cover of L'Officiel! I remember that this was one of my favorite mags back when I was living in Switzerland, similar to Vogue Italia, it had it's own style and mind... it was mostly a great buy.

So now Lori Goldstein, the uber stylist whose latest accomplishment includes that she is fashion editor of W magazin, (well done 'mam) who did the styling on Tavi and who famously used some of my tops and dresses in the photo series 'THE KIDS' with photographer Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia in the year 2000 (gosh, how fast time passes) recently posted a link to this L'Officiel cover and it impressed and made me happy just as it must have Lori.

It's just such an honor to know that SHE picked my stuff for the KIDS shoot! In my opinion she just seemingly easily pulls a look together and makes it HER OWN... she's really a pro at it, hence the jobs she is getting from the worlds top magazines! Well, this new cover now gives me an opportunity to dig out the pics of the Vogue Italia shoot, 2000, photographed by - ahkheam - Steven Meisel, yet another incredible person to have shot my stuff by - Wew - How lucky am I?!

Today, when Fashion Bloggers are looked upon for influence and inspiration, cast in commercials and prominently seated in the front row of fashion shows, it comes as no surprise that a major magazine would put one of them on the cover!

But it is not just one of those bloggers, it is Tavi, who is the young writer of a blog called Style Rookie. J'ADORE. Thanks Tavi and Lori for makin this all look so good :) today and yesterday...

about me

My Photo
New York, NY, United States
Yes, I'm full of myself, but I became an instant celebrity after showing my first collection in a fashion show in Zürich, 1995. It was covered by the Swiss National evening news. The Swiss press calls me "The Most Important Invention After Color TV!" This exposure lead to countless endorsements with companies such as Bernina (Sewing Machines), Philip Morris, etc. I was a judge at the Miss Switzerland 1998 competition and was chosen to design the clothing concept for the Swiss National EXPO' 02. Celebrities such as Gwen Stefani and Kelly Osbourne wear my fashion. In NYC, I gained recognition from the largest publications including WWD, Vogue, The Village Voice who called my label "The Best Name Of The Day" after Fashion Week and the New York Times declared: "IDILVICE's collection had the combination of elements that make a fashion audience sit up and take notice". Does it get better? Only The New Yorker article, which named IDILVICE one of the few lines besides Oscar De La Renta and Anna Sui to still be produced in the USA, may top that. Besides being a finalist in the Gen Art Styles 2000 and 2001 show, I have designed a couture collection for Elvis Presley Enterprises in Memphis.
