Dom Perignon x David Lynch Launch Party

some perks of being in the west coast, and not being in the east coast, is that for my editors who can not make it to some certain events in the west coast, i'd attend in their place. for example, last week's extravagant, yet understated, and code of dress: "dark" party for a special edition Dom Perginon bottle designed by the one and only Sir David Lynch. Mission was to snap some photos on behalf of Nylon. Personal mission was to see The Kills. Missions accomplished.
p.s. I've been told I have a special talent for celeb-spotting. (See: photos.)

the Lynch is in the building!

my date, Shane West. just kidding.

NYLON JUNE/JULY MUSIC ISSUE: Fashion News, stylist's assistant

and on the FASHION side, i was lucky enough to assist stylist Christina Saratsis with putting together the wardrobe for Fashion News: 2 models, 8 stories, 10 outfits, a 12-hour day of shooting in Brooklyn, and a final 8-page spread in the June/July issue.

I had the best time assisting, but my favorite part of all this is...that I get credited in very very small print at the bottom of every page.

tiny victories :)

1. PATTERN PLAY: Catarina Gatta's iconic prints
2. GOTTA HAVE SHADE: Ray Ban's new double-take on the classic aviator
3. WILD CHILD: do-good dresses by Autumn Adeigbo

4. WORK IT OUT: Dr. Martin's first clothing collection

5. DRESS YOU UP: A conversation with the new face of Material Girl (Madonna's daughter's line), Kelly Osbourne
6. SHOE-IN: blinded by Verlain brogues

7. Jeans of the Month - McQ: low-rise is on the rise...again!

8. CARVEN (I forgot to pull the PDF of the actual page from the mag, but the behind-scenes photo will suffice): the revival of an old, beloved brand.

stylist's assistant: anna tran.

NYLON JUNE/JULY MUSIC ISSUE: interview with DJ STEVE AOKI

wow, i can NOT believe it is already june...something! i've been waiting weeks for this month to come around so i can show you the work i've done interning in both the EDITORIAL and FASHION departments at my favorite, magazine NYLON!

in my second week of being in editorial, my editor asked me if to interview DJ STEVE AOKI for our Culture Club feature. meaning, do a casual interview and collect ten of the artist's favorite songs of the moment. a twenty-something minute conversation later, i wrote up my FIRST article for NYLON and poof here it is in black and white (and a whole page!!!)

NYLON mag, June/July 2011 Music Issue pg. 142

home is wherever i'm with you

in about twenty-four hours i will be back home, in Orange County, visiting my beloved family & friends, and for my big sister SOPHIA'S ENGAGEMENT PARTAYYY. i've kind of been waiting for this day since the day i realized i was going to be living in nyc, after landing my job at 3.1 phillip lim...and then soon after landing my internship at nylon.

a lot can happen in two months apparently. i settled into a cozy nest that my three boyfriends/roommates built on the UWS; found my home-away-from-home-away-from home in SoHo -- the 3.1 phillip lim store and the nylon offices so happen to be one block away from each other. how convenient right?

i snapped a few pictures of each of my spots, so i can show you around to my new zip code. i'm definitely in love with the city and my new life here, but honestly...

home (orange county) is where the heart really is.

i'll be documenting my OC vacay and will be posting photos of all the FOOD & FESTIVITIES right here on THC as soon as I get back to new york. Til then, I'm going to try oh so hard to not touch my computer/iphone/any means of internet access whilst I am away. It is a VACATION. but most likely I'll break because not being up-to-date with the news (all your blogs) gives me major anxiety. We'll see how this all goes. Until then...xoxo ANNA
