These are the favorite ones for many. Last summer 2007, MS used all Macy's window displays to promote her collection at Macy's. Check more window displays by MS at this link.

Couple blocks away from work is ABC store. Located around Union Square area, NYC. I find this store amazing, and incredible inspirational. From small local crafted items to beautiful line of handcrafted colorful embroidery fabrics from India. You can find gorgeous items also from Nepal and Tibet. If you are an Interior designer, this is a must see store. See more at: http://www.abchome.com

From the few covers/issues they published. This is my favor one. Beautiful yellow... Sad that Blueprint stop publishing.

I wonder what the MSLO people (or Martha) were thinking! Read the bad news.

Here is my little simple final project from a class I just finished at Parson School of Design Continuing Education. The class name was Fabric selection and style. It was taught by a very passionated professor ( Salvatore Cesarani ). What a sweet man! We went couple field trips to an organization, a textile design company and the textile library at the Met in NYC.

Fishs Eddy is a store where sells dishware and glassware. It specializes in American sturdyware. I get inspired by looking all that vintage, stylish, urban and contemporary design. On my last visit (during lunch break at my full-time job as a graphic designer), I couldn't resist the re-usable tote bags that they are selling. They have 212 nyc, brooklyn, and the promotional design. I have to get them all! I hope I make a good use of them. Tote bags was not the only thing I bought. Previous visits, I have bought mugs, vases, dessert plates, spoons, a honey bear bottle and much more. I call Fishs Eddy my source of inspiration. I will be posting Inspiration 02 soon. ;)
