You’ve probably seen one or more of these images on Pinterest but I still wanted to share some of my favorites (I especially like the ones with quotes). This is the work of illustrator Stanley Chow, and the pop art images capture so much character of the subject I almost felt it was redundant to label the images.

To me, the best design is that which infuses everyday situations with humor. Designed by Hyphen, the ‘ish’ watch takes a playful look at the idea of time in India.
“In India, ‘fashionably late’ is safely replaced with ‘predictably late’. Cow blockades, politician escorts, and cratered roads, compound the problem and offer a valid excuse. So when you reach half-an-hour after the appointed time, you don’t explain yourself. You wait for the other person to arrive. We simply added a suffix to time periods. And moved the numerals from their classic perpendicular positions, tilting them to an approximate point on the dial. Hence six was not six. Eight was not eight. It was ‘six-ish’ and ‘eight-ish’. Thus was born the ‘ish Watch.”

Paris based illustrator Kerrie Hess’ book does exactly what it says on the cover, but oh so beautifully.
Moreover, we love her grounded approach to fashion and trends: “Nine times out of 10, I would probably prefer to really splurge on a great vacation or even a weekend away than spend thousands on a bag.”
Mixed with personal anecdotes: “I work for myself and just know I cannot have a phone conversation with Vogue while I am still in my pajamas, even though technically, I could!”
On mixing and matching: “Basics from the less expensive stores in neutral shades like black, gray and beige will likely still look expensive –- especially if teamed with something more tailored. Certain styles are just always chic no matter where you bought them.”
On staples: “A tailored black blazer is a great staple as well as dark denim jeans with a mid rise and low-ish back pockets either in a slim or boot fit. A really fabulous cocktail dress that isn’t black is good to have on stand-by as it always seams impossible to find a great dress for an event under pressure. A black or camel trench coat, crisp white and gray t-shirts that are long in the body and a black wool turtleneck sweater are a few other must-haves.”

True words spoken by the then editor of Harper’s Bazaar on seeing Norman Parkison’s photoshoot for Vogue in 1956. While combining western clothes with an Indian setting has been done many times, this was perhaps the first – an incredible mix of color, movement, and whimsy.
