Yves Saint Laurent New Vintage III

Published by

I love the idea of Yves Saint Laurent New Vintage line. This is the third collection.  It’s pretty expensive though. New Vintage, initiated by YSL’s creative director, Stefano Pilati, and Julie Gilhart, is having another go. New Vintage III’s moxie is quite simple: reclaim, recycle and sustain. “The collection is materially comprised of garments made from recycled fabric and from existing patterns instead of new ones, to start a dialogue with the market using known codes and a common language that are reassuring and familiar,” says Pilati about the 180 pieces that will be available this week. Metallic wide leg trousers, velvet tuxedo suiting jackets and leopard-print wrap dresses with a hint of disco pay a refreshing nod to Saint Laurent’s iconic 1970s designs.(source) Pilati adds, “New Vintage is meant to be part of a process, a general attempt to give a sensibility and an education to our public so that it can act consciously toward its environment.”(source) It’s available only at the Paris (38 rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré), London (173-176 Sloane Street) and …

Staple x Oakley Sunglasses

Published by

I love me some Frogskins, so the Staple x Oakley Frogskins collaboration caught my eye at Colette. This special edition eyewear design was created in collaboration with Jeff Staple, founder of Staple Design and Reed Space of New York. Since 1997, Staple Design has created one of the most respected street culture brands in the world. Oakley was founded in 1975, the same year Staple was born. Jeff Staple continues to revisit the most legendary models of the Oakley brand, and it was the turn of the famous “Frogskins” to display the symbols of the brand of the founder of Staple Design and Reed Space in New York.Frame features two tones of grey, translucent plastic, “Pigeon” laser etched on the lens, matte black. In addition to the reworked Frogskin, Jeff Staple created a new design for Oakley, the STPL Holbrook Sunglasses. These sunglasses are polarized and can fit prescription lens. The color inspiration for the STPL HOLBROOKâ„¢ is falling snow, and the frame carries accents on the stems of its Polished White frame. Staple chose …

i want: Christmas Trees in Recycled Cardboard by Boutique Cascades

Published by

I got a press release about these recycled cardboard Christmas Trees by Cacades. I thought they were a neat modern take on the tree.  I like the blank option on the trees so that they can be customized. There are size three options: Classico at 41″ x 28″ , Moderno at 52″ x 29″ and Piccolo at 24″ x 13″. Each size comes in three colours: white, forest green and a print version. A Made-to-Measure Christmas Tree With   its   long   detachable   pieces   that   remind   you   of   a   puzzle, assembling the Christmas tree becomes a true child’s game and once the  Holiday  Season  is  over,  it  can  easily  be  stored.    Developed  in concert  with  Cascades’  Italian  partner,  Reno  De  Medici,  the  first  3 models  of  the  Collection  Reno  Carton  3D TM ,  the  Classico,  Moderno and Piccolo trees are manufactured in high quality cardboard and will not fail to seduce with their great design. In white, they offer a beautiful canvas for kids and adults to use their imagination in decorating and customizing the tree to …

Classic Interlock Hoodie by Bench I don’t feature hoodies that often on I want – I got anymore. It’s getting to the point where you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. I do like the crossover detail Bench has added to this hoodie. You can find Bench in Toronto at The Eaton Centre. Update: I’ve been told Bench is at Yorkdale too. Thx elanacamille images: bench.co.uk
