Despite what modern psychology tells us, obsession can be a good thing. Remember—it was the whipsmart Susan Sontag who said, "Never worry about being obsessive. I like obsessive people. Obsessive people make great art." For this very reason, in our new series, we ask our friends what they currently can't live, breathe, or go another second without.
Since nabbing the inaugural LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers last spring, Thomas Tait has propelled himself into cult-level fashion territory. With his playful knack for constructive silhouettes with vibrant hues, like this knockout cherry-red box coat, it only makes sense that the London-based designer is inspired by everything from Walter Pfeiffer's photography to Dario Argento's Italian horror films. Check out Tait's current obsessions in the slideshow above, including Tomb Raider: Anniversary on his PS VITA. J'adore!

"Olafur Eliasson’s work is something I’ve had the chance to experience a few times in the past couple of months; I was invited to his private viewing at the new Foundation Louis Vuitton Museum in Paris last week. This glass dome in particular is super trippy and utterly disorientating when you get close enough to touch it." ![]()
"I'm slowly but surely making my way through Tomb Raider: Anniversary, which is a doozy of a game. The sound Lara makes when jumping is now stuck in my head and I have mixed feelings about that..."![]()
