I was transported into a universe of inspiration. Color, texture, fantasy. For me, New York Fashion Week serves as a source of inspiration. And a reminder, in the thick of winter, of how reinvigorating art can be for the spirit.
Whether it's dressing my body or dressing up a new salad (Edible flowers? A sprinkle of hemp seeds? A drizzle of mucuna-infused EVOO?), creativity reigns.
Music is a huge part of the energy that inspires and fuels the runway, and I pulled these songs straight from some of my favorite NYFW shows in hopes that this mix injects some inspiration into your week, like it has mine.
It spans genres and generations, from Prince's "Controversy" in the Jeremy Scott show to the trap-soul of IAMDDB and rapping Awkawfina at Cushnie to the Russian song "Розовое вино" ("Pink Wine"), a track I am currently obsessed with, that opened the show at Nicole Miller.
I'll leave you with the translation of a snippet of that song and the link to the playlist-- enjoy!
Love + Light,
Whitney
"It is so beautiful here, that I stop breathing.
Volume to the minimum, in order not to disturb.
These clouds are like violet cotton.
The magic of flowers along with ice is in our glasses..
We're already in the ocean, the disco of alcohol and marijuana.
No stress. We are eating it, like M&M's dance, dance.
Kiss, kiss, breathe me in with every thousand (rubles), every thousand.
My magic wand is in your hands. Kreks-peks!*
It is so beautiful here, that I stop breathing.
Sound to the minimum, in order not to disturb.
These clouds are like violet cotton.
Violet cotton and everything around is fucking great!"
- "Розовое вино" by Allj & Feduk
