There’s an old song about the face on the cutting room floor. The girl who al-most made it to the big screen... and everything she sacrificed to get, well, nowhere.
While today’s “cutting room floor” is a lot less literal, it is no less tragic that such beauty is left unappreciated. A few months ago, I started looking through outtakes and realized that we had enough unseen footage to fill vol-umes—thousands of photos that just didn’t make it for whatever reason. Maybe another image was a better fit for the spread. Maybe we chose a dif-ferent angle.
Our “Director’s Cut” issue is like a guilty-pleasure summer movie. Not particu-larly cerebral, not all that wordy. Just a bunch of never-before-seen eye candy that you can gaze upon as you take a break from melting.
This fall we’ll be back to our old tricks with our Industrial Couture issue and a
brand new website—both launching on September 26. And there is no need to be deprived while you’re waiting. Our new daily editions are the perfect bite-sized morsels to control cravings between issues.

NEWSREELWhether your home is a three-ring circus or you’re training to win the gold, we’ve got you covered. Here we present two noteworthy news items that are sure to aid in your search for new treasures.
trend-predictorlate summer 2012
let the games begin...minh dangWith the world awaiting the start of the 30th Summer Olympic Games in Lon-don, England (sorry Hunger Games fans, not those games), we can’t help but recall the incredible achievements of games past and the ancient Greeks who inspired them. Although the location of the event changes every time, its home will always be in Athens, Greece, where the first modern Olympics took place in 1896.
Uncle Goose

we predict...…an emergence of ancient Greek Olympian-inspired decor. Think of the popular Greek key pattern used in everything from handwo-ven rugs to various types of furnishings. Let’s not forget a fire pit, so you can have your own Olympic torch burning in the backyard. Partner these incredible ancient Greek-inspired pieces with British paint and wallpaper company Far-row & Ball’s decorating schemes. Who could resist paints with names like Down Pipe, Cab-bage White, London Clay, and Charlotte’s Locks?

come one, come allFolks, get ready for a show like you’ve never seen be-fore—The Bard Graduate Center: Decorative Arts, De-sign History, Material Culture—will present “Circus and the City: New York, 1793-2010” an exhibition docu-menting the history of the American circus in New York City. Although le cirque has changed somewhat from the past, they can still captivate an audience with the mysterious, the downright weird and the unthinkable. No wonder kids want to run away and join the circus.

we predict...…you’’ll want to bring the show into your own abode. Juggle these circus-inspired pieces care-fully because too much and you’ll have a real three-ring circus in your home. For a touch of humor, outfit your pad with a clown pillow or a vintage patchwork table lamp. Looking for some-thing more subtle? Take the pendant lamp that resembles the Big Top, or a Strong Man kitchen towel. Don’t forget about the majestic elephants—this lamp will shine a bright light to set the stage.

director’scut If a picture is worth a thousand words,
then what is to come in the following pages should be epic. For nearly two years, we’ve been recording creation stories through snapshots. With every capture of the lens, we humbly add to our visual collection of amazing de-sign, and reflect upon what a beautiful world we live in—and how lucky we are to collectively shape it.
We can never seem to fit all of our in-spirations into any single issue. There will always be a handful of pieces that
just don’t fit the Standard puzzle at hand. These are the people, places, things, and ideas that we just keep coming back to. Now, we are proud and excited to share some of the al-ways-growing pictoral hodgepodge of design that we’ve encountered on our adventures. One must bear in mind that each of the images hereafter are but relatives of former features, and every shot will point you in the direc-tion of the bigger picture. So, let your imagination run free in our virtual play-ground of exciting scenery.

It’s another blazing summer in cen-tral Texas, but that won’t stop anyone from enjoying a good evening cookout. I’ve always partaken in the tradition of summer outdoor dining, and now that I live in a house with a big backyard, I’ve begun fantasizing (yes, fantasiz-ing) about the perfect patio furniture and accessories to compliment my home. My house is old and a bit worn out, but its residents couldn’t be more the opposite. I tried to capture this du-
ality in the furniture choices. The cen-terpiece for it all is the perfect fire pit. EcoSmart Fire’s Dish model is pow-ered by bioethanol, which means less smoke, stink and mess—particularly helpful for my smoke-sensitive lungs. The rust finish gives it an aged, clas-sic feel that belies its modern design, and I like the option of having a rock garden inside my portable fire pit. So pretty!

1. Recycled Glass Bottle Windchime from Modern Artisans I’ve always enjoyed the southern tradition of bottle trees that this wind chime pays tribute to. Luckily it’s not too windy in our area—I’d hate to risk this piece breaking!
2. Long Skateboard Bench from Uncommon GoodsMy two housemates are former skaters, and this reclaimed wood bench nods to the nostalgia of summers spent at the skate park or around town. Besides—it’s just cool.
3. Reclaimed Wood Outdoor Chair from Uncommon Goods I like the distressed appearances of this salvaged wood chair and the skateboard bench. Though it may edge close to trashy, these are perfectly Austin.

Perfectionist Says...
Our young Patrick now has a big backyard, summer cookouts, and s’mores roasted over a fire pit. I’ve come to understand that at most any type of communal gathering, your guests appreciate being casual and comfy. Thumbs up on the cool factor of that cheeky skateboard bench. However, as with all hard surfaces , how comfy is that bench, really? There is nothing here that is going to keep your guests around those flames for hours of mirth and merriment. Throw them some oversized floor cushions and watch your patio become much more popular. In the end, those in your inner circle don’t really care if your kick ass s’mores are melted over a super fancy fire pit, or if you own a clever bench—all that matters are the good times you spend with each other. - James Saavedra

No matter what else you put on, nothing says summer beauty like healthy, glowing skin—which is why we in-dulged in an Organic Summer Facial at Viva Day Spa in Aus-tin. Using Éminence products full of amazing ingredients like wild plum, coconut and nas-eberry, the skin care profes-sionals at Viva are focused on working with each client to get them closer to their goals. Every experience is custom-ized to be exactly what your skin needs, when it needs it. Now let’s take a cue from Viva’s chic lounge and retail space—designed by Joel Mozersky—and highlight that radiant skin with a relaxed-yet-elegant ensemble.

Bathing suit designer Lisa Kaminski fell in love with the oh-so-fabulous bikini many years ago and man-aged to turn her obsession into a career. What else does Lisa adore? She gives us the skinny.
what inspired you to start design-ing swimwear? My passion for swimwear started very early, growing up on
the beaches in Florida. I designed and created my first swim-
suit at age 15, and my initial business plan was to move to
Hawaii and design swimwear full-time! I stayed in Florida,
eventually pursuing my dream in 2010.
how would you describe your design style?Expect the unexpected! My goal is for every design to include a unique element: unusual
fabrics, reclaimed hardware, bead accents, vintage pins... I like to create wearable art.
what is your favorite color right now? White rocks! I think a white swimsuit is always glamorous, and a signature element is to in-
clude a white design in every collection I create. White always works for summer, especially
to showcase brightly colored statement jewelry.
tell us what we’re in store for at austin fashion week?Major drama for my Italian-inspired collection! I have a few surprises and can’t wait to show
my designs on Austin’s runway!
what decade would you love to live in? why?The 1950s. The bikini was born in 1946! I’m so inspired by Hollywood glamour icons such
as Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, and Sophia Loren. My design dream era!
