Naughty Bows, Nice Bows
What are we going to do with all these bows? Flowers, ruffles, lace… as Susie Bubble likes to put it Lulasim. While it’s lovely to see soft-focus pictures of young women with the sunlight hitting their long hair just-so, I seriously can’t go anywhere near this kind of girlie affliction unless there’s something more sinister [...]
Priestess, Divinely Human
Quirky-cool is probably the most honest of the varieties of cool. As everyone is known to have quirks, embellishing it is divinely human. Priestess NYC, designed by Cody Ross, is an street wear label ‘about elegant street mix — the nuanced way in which young women blend edgy and chic, organics and synthetics and [...]
All Mine
Mixing old and new is nothing new, but it’s always inspiring. After all, we shouldn’t let great ideas go to waste, shall we? Delightfully feminine Katherine Pont, the designer for MINE, a London based clothing line. Her collections are consistently romantic embellished with hand-drawn embroideries telling stories about the inspiration behind the design. This autumn, [...]
Twine Warp
Who knew it would take an LA boutique to introduce me to a German designer? Well, during my regular lusting over Creatures of Comfort, I noticed some new cotton jersey/twine shirts. Designed by Boessert/Schorn (who also have several impressive pieces not at CoC) these fringe shirts are really something special… I’m soo wondering why or [...]
Beautiful Savage
“Our garments are our drawings, paintings and illustrations - our art. When the Belle Sauvage woman wears our garments, this art comes to life. The woman brings the canvas of art to life, without leaving the everyday streetwear functionality behind”
There is always room for something bold in my wardrobe. I say this thinking about how [...]
A little bit of everything….
Fringes, ribbons, knitted ruffles, tie front blouses… oh my. It’s like my wildest fantasies come true. Ok, so I may have strange fantasies, but 25-year-old, Greek born, London designer Ioannis Dimitrousis certainly can put a collection together mixing my fancies. I particularly like the woven ribbons they are so pretty and yep, they are pretty. [...]
Whatever it is I think I see becomes a Prada bag to me
As much as I’d love to have the $1500 to shell out on a Prada bag, It’s not reality and the one on Etsy is $29.50 has it’s own charm and character.
When shopping, I’m always looking for elements that inspire… Hardly do I look for exact replicas, but for pieces that relate to points of [...]
Rebel Dance
Studies that indicate most retailers don’t make clothes that fit real women
Is it possible that “Ready to Wear” may be on it’s way out? Maybe… maybe not… but with fabulous labels like the Franco-American label, Rebel Dance coming out offering made-to-order clothes RTW just might be getting some stiff competition. After all, there are studies [...]
MIA launches clothing line…
With my stuff, because everything’s really bright, if you lose it or someone steals it, you can see it from miles away and you can be like, ‘Oy! Give me my shirt back!’
So what if it’s been done before, everything has been done before…. In light of all the celebrities launching lines of clothing, [...]
Black to Reality
Each piece hints at something familiar, like an mechanic’s jumpsuit, your mom’s high waisted pleated trousers, or your snuggly lovie turned cardigan.
Whether the dominance of black in in upcoming seasons are indicators of recession, or the need for more classic pieces to build a more sustainable wardrobe. Berlin based Reality Studio’s AW08 collection is [...]
