Over the last three weeks, we’ve been reporting on the Prada sample auction (back links here and here), an event put together to raise money for Fondazione San Raffaele, a medical research facility in Italy, and showcase some one-of-a-kind Prada items that never made it to the runway. My favorite is still the now long-gone […]
While cruising my way through my daily blog roll, I came across this gem on Cool Hunting. According to CH, the popular NYC streetwear fashion line Married To the Mob is releasing 200 limited-edition snake-themed bikinis (pictured here) designed by the Brooklyn-based artist KAWS.
Last year, the quickly growing label partnered with the artist to put […]
According to fashionindie.com and the Shopbop website, your favorite online store for independent designers and mine (that would be Shopbop) is opening a designer boutique this fall. Moving from Marc, Carmen Ho, Twinkle and Se7en Jeans, Shopbop is going to launch a high-end designer boutique that will not only let me ogle items I absolutely […]
Made Boutique, a super cute and ultra-adorable store in Vermont that also, thankfully, happens to have an online shop, is having a big anniversary sale July 25-29th. Let’s hope that sale extends to the web.
Made sells products created mostly by local, independent designers from the Northeast United States. The bulk of their goods are one […]
A very short (sorry for the lack of posts on my part, but I’ve been way too busy!) image set of the Bill Blass Summer/Spring collection for 2007 — shown by Brazilian supermodel Izabel Goulart. As always she looks absolutely stunning, and so do the dresses. I love the sober (tulle?) one - seriously I […]
Despite the power suits and severe silhouettes haunting the fall collections, there’s still a part of me that’s getting excited. Part of that excitement is buoyed by design brands like Aquascutum;
and Behnaz Sarafpour;
Still keeping with that boxier shape and a bit of darkness, but retaining some femininity.
Yes, they’re all styles we’ve seen come down the catwalks months ago, but it’s nice to see the fall ready-to-wear collections at a time of year where they’re actually starting to hit the shelves (I know, it’s still July, but I’m not the one with the marketing plan). It also got me excited for autumn […]
Hollywood darling and winner of this year’s Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent in Womenswear (how do they even fit that long title on a plaque, it must be HUGE), Phillip Lim opened his first boutique this week in New York.
Lim’s work is ultra chic (think French pixies, […]
This year’s Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring and Summer ‘08 was bigger than any before it. The event ran from July 10 - 13th and hosted exhibitors from 15 countries, along with a compelling New Fashion Collection Award.
iPapier has great captures of the young designers’ catwalk efforts, but my personal favorite would have […]
Berlin Fashion Week kicked off last week. And though everyone’s talking about the Hugo Boss show and subsequent celebrity-studded after party, I think the real goods can be found amongst the emerging designers and gallery exhibitions.
As always, Berlin is a city ready and willing to foster new talent. The Ideal Showroom, part of the week’s […]
