• Neiman VP fills Holts' top spot
  Holt Renfrew filled a key slot yesterday by naming Lewis Hopkins as senior vice president of women's wear – a position vacant since summer. Hopkins will join the company Jan. 1 from Neiman Marcus where he's worked for the past 15 years, most recently as vice president of women's couture.

  Hopkins succeeds David Asher, who left Holts in August to become CEO and president of eLuxury, the online division of the LVMH group.

• Té Casan Closed, Company Folds — The Cut: New York Magazine's Fashion Blog
  When Té Casan put all of their stock on sale in November, we thought we were in for some good deals. But the red flares went up when the prices kept plummeting — the company might take a turn for the worse.

Jaime Hayon Josephine and the Fantasy Collection, a pop up experience by Ministry of the Interior

Jaime Hayón Spanish artist / designer Jaime Hayon was born in Madrid 1974. He trained as an industrial designer in Madrid and Paris. In 1997, he began working as a researcher in Fabrica, Benetton Group’s communication research center in Treviso, Italy. A year later, he was appointed, by Mr. Luciano Benetton and communication guru Oliviero Toscani, head of the design department, where he oversaw the development of interiors for shops, exhibitions and restaurants as well as books, magazines and logo designs. 2004 saw the start of Hayon’s individual career and he has kept himself busy with a spectrum of eclectic projects. From toys, to furniture and interior design as well as artistic installations, his boldness has been to transcend the borders of the often separated worlds of art and design, comfortably bridging the two whilst embedding them with his unique style.

Beautiful housewares; absolutely stunning and expensive as all hell. It has to be seen to be believed. I’m in love with the Camper/Jamie Hayon shoes, OMG!

It’s a pop up shop, so it won’t be around for long! It’s so worth seeing.

So I worked the Moonrox booth at the One of a Kind Show this past Saturday. I’ve always thought of myself as a piss poor salesperson. When it comes down to it a salesperson has to like people and I’ve never been a big fan of people. However to my surprise I was a selling machine that day.

I also managed to score some jewelry in the process.

MJ picked this necklace out for me before I even arrived. He knows my style so very well and even told Monique (MoonRox designer) that I would totally buy it. He was right. I was telling people that this necklace is right on trend for Spring 2009 and most gave me a blank look. If you’ve been to the One of a Kind Show, you’ll understand.

I have always loved the MoonRox Charm bracelets. They are chunky, loud and colourful. I think they are the perfect addition to a LBD ensemble.

MoonRox is in booth Y-4 and will be at the One of a Kind show till Sunday.
