Dévastée have long been one of my favorite designers and watching them go from T-shirts to ready-to-wear and now amazing tote bags in collaboration with Iena couldn't make me any happier. Now if only they weren't exclusively available in Japan!! -Jen
Oh that? That's just The Twentyten's "makeout guard." No big deal. Nails play a big part in their latest collection as does a really beautiful dip dyed & draped pink and purple gown. -Jen
This Friday, stop by Reward to catch a whiff of Six Scents Series Two, designer fragrances from Toga, Henrik Vibskov, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Richard Nicoll, House of Holland and Damir Doma, and preview the short film that accompanies each scent. Smells like fashion.
Space 15 Twenty's new shoe boutique opens this Friday, with a special performance by DJ Lynnetic and shoes from Candela NYC, Colonial Madness, Dr. Martens, Frye, Toms, Marais and oh so much more. They're even stocking scents from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, and if you stop by on opening night, you can sample goodies from the Green Truck and Minx Nails. These shoes were made for shopping! Seriously, they were.
When I got word that All For The Mountain had a new collection out titled "Sacred Mountain," I was instantly ecstatic. Everything they do is so wonderful and when I spied the drip crown ring I knew it was the show stopper, especially when they feature it on top of Queen Elizabeth's head and it looks right at home. -Jen
Fashionistas, take up your arms: The latest must-have shoe comes courtesy of Surface 2 Air and is sold exclusively at Surface 2 Air Paris, Browns Focus London, and Gargyle NYC. We suspect there are going to be some elbows thrown over this one.
I'm still deciding if this Vivienne Westwood for Melissa Bow Bootie looks straight out of a cartoon and would it also be OK for a 27-year-old to wear it? What do you wear with lilac pvc boots?! -Jen
Can't believe we're really seeing these Nina Ricci shoes on the street but who better to be wearing them than the ultra fancy and luxurious Daphne Guinness? I await the day I see these in person. -Jen
Not Just A Label continues to blow our mind and introduce us to new out-of-this-world labels. For example: Eyola, a Victorian-inspired collection from fashion designer Ayole, who once worked for Alexander McQueen. This Anima Octave jacket would make a stunning Halloween outfit all on it's own. Haute stuff, for sure.
Every single thing that design duo Bless offers up is amazing madness. These lake bedsheets turn your bedroom into summer camp, and the video for their N 39 Heart Ringers is more modern dance/performance art than fashion presentation.
So, once you stop hating your parents and think they're ruining your life, you start to realize 'Hey, my parents are actually kinda cool.' Then, later, it hits: That inevitable moment when it suddenly dawns on you that your parents were not only awesome, but probably cooler than you.
A small collaborative line started by two architects from Virginia, Box and Flea's beautiful bandanas and totes are handprinted at the Pencil Factory in Greenpoint.
