simply lovely. i do wish we could get to see more of his work....been feeling rather depraved since he's not showing in paris anymore,because he is such an extraordinary talent and it deserves to be seen internationally. but at the same time,i do like that he's a bit quiet.

i think one of the best attributes best represented here,of tim's work,is his incredible sense of sculptural volumes and details. it's amazing what he can mold into his pieces. when most are doing that as an overall look,he creates a form inside a form which almost gives it a 3-D affect. it really makes one appreciate the pieces more. and i have never seen that approach from another designer except perhaps yohji or rei. but it's anything but overly conceptual or scientific though. it's always got something one can connect with--always purely romantic and organic.

you're welcome,strawberry,kissaugust and a.t.
