…well, technically Swoon is my husband’s friend, as she and I have unbelievably never met. But after several years’ worth of warm greetings passed through the hubs, I feel like I’ve known her forever. In New York, I spent many a visit to Deitch Projects (RIP) admiring Swoon’s work. So it’s nice to see her cross the waters to London for her first solo show, Murmuration. I missed the opening (Swoon, we are forever like ships passing in the night), but was fortunate enough to see it last week. Londoners, get into it.

We’ve all grown accustomed to the sight of cropped trousers with bright or printed socks as a trendy “pop” of color. But short pants with dark socks always seemed like a slightly harder sell, in a literal, retro kind of way — the stuff of rockabilly types and goths, for example. But judging by the images Giia has been taking for us lately, the Milanese, seem to be taking this idea to an interesting place.
