Midnight and Paris

2011-08-18T11:27:00.000-07:00

Ok so I know this may be a little late to the game...BUT...this movie was hands down one of my favorite Woody Allen films, and that is saying alot because I am a HUGE Woody fan. Watching this film almost transports you to 1060s Paris and if you weren't already in love with the city of lights you will be its biggest fan hands down afterwards. I'm a sucker for films with a nostalgic feel to them, and any film to do with Paris in particular. In fact this movie takes me back to one of my OTHER favorite films about 1960s Paris as well by the name of "The Dreamers" (another must see!!!!!)

I do feel Woody likes to cast himself as the lead in every movie (the intellectual almost looney character with die hard convictions) but it is a formula that has worked for him and I cannot get enough. Rachel McAdams really blew me away as the antagonist, I usually always love her and side with whatever character she plays, but this time she really makes you hate her, lol. Well played McAdams! If you haven't already seen this movie I highly recommend you do yourself a favor and do so now. Im sure it is still playing at some theatres here and there. I meant to blog about this weeks ago but got all wrapped up in the wren photoshoots we've been doing for the holiday and s/s 2012 line. But this movie has not left my mind since seeing it. I definitely will be grabbing it on dvd as soon as possible.

Here are some pictures I had lying around my hard drive that just take me back to that special place in my heart and in my head that i can only call Paris for right meow:

That's it for now kiddies, hopefully this post helps you get through the rest of your Thursday. Nothing like a little mid day inspiration, the weekend is right around the corner! Everyone enjoy yourselves and this lovely day, till next time my dears.

ONE MORE FOR THE FLOCK

2011-08-11T17:06:00.000-07:00

Heres the newest member to be added to the Wren crew. Everyone meet Krystle, a recent LA transplate who hails from the breezybay area, land of good times and steep sidewalks. I bumped into this girl at opening ceremony the same week I met her, so i already fully approve of her LA habits and whereabouts. I like the energy she brings into the wren studio and her playlists she plays for us are catchy and I am constantly asking her which bands sing which songs. :)

Name: krystle

Hometown: stockton, ca

Sign: taurus

Favorite Color: currently, it's white. i'm digging the crispness of the color.

Favorite Scent: not much of a perfume gal, but i do use this diptyque sample eau de toilette when i do remember to spritz. i think it's the fruity one.

First CD Ever Owned: nsync. or backstreet boys. oh, the nostalgic boy band wars..

Favorite Piece in Your Closet to Wear: i love my menswear button ups. although, i can't wait to wear my cropped heavy knit a.wang sweater!

If You Could Meet Anyone Alive or Dead: my paternal grandfather. i hear he was a great man.

Current Designer you're into: phoebe philo, robert gellar, and alexander wang.

Go To Restaurant: haven't ventured too much in LA yet, but i went to barragan's last week on monday for $1 tacos, and they were delicious. oh, and the vietnamese crepes at pho cafe are amazing as well.

Favorite Piece from the Wren Closet: the leopard coat! ah-mazing!

Plans After Summer: new york! as much as LA has its redeeming qualities, i refuse to spend half my life in traffic.

Shes fun right?

Meet Our Studio Mates! (pt. 1)

2011-06-30T12:22:00.000-07:00

Here is a girl I get to spend my days with when I'm here working with Wren. Her name is Robin and her desk is about 10 steps away from mine. She is the exclamation mark at the end of my sentences and i can always count on her for a good time ( and sound relationship advice.) ;) Robin and I share an eclectic taste in music and mexican food too! WUV U ROBZ.

name- Robin Humphrey

hometown- Los Angeles

1) what is your profession? Artist, jewelry designer & design associate extraordinaire!

2) favorite piece of clothing in your closet? I have this vintage John Paul Gaultier mutton sleeve and copper button jean jacket I bought years ago- that sounds horrible, but trust me it's amazing. I used to wear it all the time, but now that I am older I worry for it, because I have almost left it behind several times. So I only bust it out for very special occasions now.

3) last song you listened to? If I had a heart - fever ray.

4) if you could meet anyone alive or dead who would it be and why? Iris Apfel, I love eclectic AND eccentric old women, so much. Opulent quirky cat lady types, intrigue me.

5) what do you like to do when youre not at work? Stalk peacocks at the arboretum or go beach combing at low tide in the early mornings.

6) how would you describe your style? waxing and waning like the moon - It's always evloving....

7) favorite movie? Pink Flamingos or the original Grey Gardens

8) favorite soap/scent? Tropical.

9) where do you see yourself in 10 yrs? To be developing into a classy cat lady, see question 4.

love these answers, i feel like you get a pretty good perception of her from these. :)

A Glimpse into Another World

2011-06-21T15:03:00.000-07:00

Recently Melissa had the pleasure of going to Michael Ovitz's house. Many of you may not know who he is so here is a brief run through:

The life of Mr Ovitz has been an amazing and interesting one to say the least. Starting out in the entertainment industry Michael worked in the mail room of William Morris Talent Agency for a year before he was promoted to a successful talent agent. After four years there he left the company with 3 other colleagues create Creative Artists Agency (CAA) which is now the worlds leading talent agency. After twenty years there he went on to do a stint at Walt Disney as president. During his career Michael has been toted as one of the most powerful men in Hollywood, overseeing major mergers for both individual clients as well as large corporations. Ovitz is now a private investor and is also known as one of the worlds top art collectors with pieces from all over the world and all types of artists spanning from Pablo Picasso to Mark Rothko. His place of residence is what can only be described as a mini museum to hold all of these works of art.

There was multiple works by the artist Tara Donovan in the home of Michael Ovitz that were truly breathtaking and larger than life (or large as life i should say). Melissa was in lurrrve. Tara works with everyday manufactured materials such as tape and Styrofoam to create site specific installation art, pieces that have to be assembled and disassembled very tediously and carefully which speaks to Donovan's artistic and creative process. The works in person are captivating and are a definite favorite among people both inside and outside the art world.

Here are a couple shots of the house. It was incredible, so beautiful and spacious and each piece inside complimented the space!

This is Chris standing next to a tree sculpture outside, i feel like he should have climbed up on a branch but I'm sure that wasn't allowed. (teehee). But that's no tree! I cant event even imagine how long that bad boy took to bring together. These pieces are set outside so they must stand the weather changes. Every time i look at these pictures I wish i were there now to reach out and touch it!

Another one of the artists featured in Michael's house was photographs by Roe Ethridge. Another from artist hailing from New York, Ethridge's gallery installations and book projects mix fine art images with the commercial. Through his images he gives the idea that the original intent of the capture falls away over time and an all new meaning takes effect which have also been known to spark a sense of nostalgia.
This is a photo of a photo that Ethridge took of one of Ovitz's belongings -- a needle point pillow what says "persistence is what makes the impossible possible, the possible likely and the likely definite." PREACH!

A view coming around the bend heading up to the Ovitz residence. A lovely time for Melissa hands down. I can think of very few other things that can be as stimulating and satisfying as exploring different works of arts by various artists. Time seems to fly! If any of you ever get a chance to view any exhibits of the artists above i highly recommend you jump at the chance. I myself feel like I've been missing out and am now currently on the hunt for an exhibit near me!

WREN x VIVIER

2011-06-09T14:43:00.000-07:00

I love it when people come together to create something fresh and new. In this case wren has partnered with handbag designer clare vivier for a new collection! Using vivier's sensibility and fabric used from the wren fall '11 line the result has been something MAGIC. Here's a look at the shoot which took place here in our studio:

Models Mathilde and Shiva Rose working it for the camera. Fierce, no? YES.

I love that the leopard print is being used. Its probably my favorite material from the fall line, so glad that more is being done with it. I hope you all are as excited about this venture as i am.

FLASH. FLASH. FLASH. POSE.

Make up was done by Tsipporah, I've seen her in action before and I adore the work she does. Pure artistry my friends.

Photographer Jeana Sohn making magic happen with her camera.

Everyone has their hand in the creative process. Around here we give everyone a chance to pitch in. There are no small roles, just small people. ;)

All in all it was a fantastic and productive time. We got a lot done and everyone involved was happy with the outcome. Look at those smiles! Cheers.

Hussle & Bussle

2011-06-02T15:33:00.000-07:00

Today started with a barrage of emails and check ins which made the morning go by incredibly fast. I love it when you're being productive, nothing is going wrong and you've got sweet jamz coming out of pandora with a cup of joe in hand. Its mornings like this that can really set the mood for the day/ weekend. :)
Im really STOKED because today we got a new table for the new studio! Things are really starting to come together here. We've even had the first meeting with the interior decorator!! Big plans are in store folks. :)

For starters, check out this uber cute wren/lucky tee:

Lucky magazine asked their favorite brands to design and contribute a t shirt for their 10 year anniversary! This shirt depicts all of Melissa's favorite things (kittens galore!). cute, dontyathink? I find myself staring at it sometimes when im trying to work out things in my head. Kittens can be good for the thought process I've discovered.

Sending out pieces can be my favorite part of the day sometimes. especially when its a gift and i take the time to wrap it in tissue paper and write a little note for the person receiving. I've been told my handwriting is impeccable.

This rack was brought into the studio for me (as well as the table). Right now it looks empty and bare but you wouldn't believe how FAST this will fill up. I guarantee you by the end of next week It'll be just as packed as the others. With all the samples coming in from new york ill be able to get around the studio a little bit easier with this baby.

And here is the table I was talking about! I was originally gonna take pics of the guys that delivered it and them putting it together but then I ended up helping them set it up. It may not look like it but this thing was huge and heavy and not easy to maneuver. Trying to keep everything neat and clean in our little corner and this table will definitely help with that. I didn't realize how hard it is to stay organized, pieces and samples would be strewn about if it weren't for my fellow studio mates and ;).

see look it! doesn't that look responsible and not cluttered?? I gave myself a pat on the back for that one.

and last but not least will you LOOK AT THIS STATIONARY? i used to it to send out the box of presents and I couldn't get over how adorable this is. Melissa said its her 2nd grade cards. I was scared to write on it for fear of misspelling because we only had one left. (and one we kept for the memories. Obvi.) xx

That's all for now folks, I'm cleaning up the space and getting ready for the weekend. I hope this weather is here to stay because if so I'm headed straight to the beach for Sunday fun day. Hope you are all well. Hakunah Matata.

ITS SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE

2011-05-26T16:20:00.000-07:00

Today we say goodbye to our dear friend Tricia. Fashion intern extraordinaire. She helped make the Wren machine run smoothly and was always there if any of us were in a bind. I personally fell in love with this girl on my first day. I knew we'd get along because she loves Mariah Carey (need i say more?). Im gonna miss all of our lunches together and driving around LA picking up samples from the showroom and dropping off send outs.

she always BROUGHT IT with her wardrobe, and she didn't dissappoint on her last day.

But look how sad she got towards the end of the day! Reality is starting to set in...

I'M GONNA MISS YOU SO MUCH TRICIA BOO!!

Everyone in the wren family wishes you well in all your future endeavors. We hope life brings you everything you want and them some. Wren wont be the same without you. KIT and good luck in San Francisco, that city doesn't know what its got coming ;) <3 <3 <3

A DAY IN THE LIFE

2011-05-26T12:44:00.001-07:00

Things have really been moving along nicely around the studio now that we are all settling in. We all love the space and the location! (Aside from the train that we hear off in the distance sometimes, but I personally think it adds a little character and 'rural' feelings to it all) :).
There is a lot going on both inside and outside our studio space, I think some of our neighbors are auditioning for some type of play because there's people lining up for auditions and casting calls, its all very exciting and everyone I've seen here thus far is so pretty! Cant wait to make friends :)
Inside the studio is business as usual...

our fashion intern Tricia is doing inventory. with all the pulls and loans we do for different publications and stylist she is a god send. (I'm really gonna miss her, more on that later). always on top of it and I can always count on her! I'm usually cluttered mess so shes a lovely balance.

this was totally candid I swear, loving her bangs <3

here is a look at some of the possible fabrics for next springs line. so many options to choose from its always difficult/fun to widdle it down to a few really good ones that make the cut!

I personally like the doily lace patterns you can see a bit of in this picture. but my mind changes all the time. ask me again next week and I'm sure id give you a completely different answer. AHHH DECISIONS DECISIONS...

So much more to do today but im gonna try and give you all one more post before the days end! xx

Coco & her Salvador Dali's wheat ear

2010-12-14T15:49:00.000-08:00

In the book, Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life, Coco tells Claude Delay (a friend) of a childhood memory of her father that she had always cherished. She had said as a child, she had always been afraid of the darkness and whatever ghosts that may appear during the night. She often imagined a horrible man throwing wheat at her from under the bed. Her father would comfort her and tell her that everything will be alright and one thing that has always brought her comfort was when her father had told her that wheat is very good. Coco has carried his comfort with her and has kept bundled wheat near by. One for each room in her apartment and by her bedside. This painting of Salvador Dali's wheat ear is hung in her apartment as a momentum. To her it is a sign of comfort and a memory of her father.
Such a beautiful painting and departure from Salvador Dali's other surrealist paintings.
