Members Only Berry Nylon Jacket One of the few things to come back from the 80s that I approve. Get me some cardboard so I can do a headspin! Ha, ha. Comment if you saw this in the theater like I did! The arrows are pointing at Jean Claude Van Damme if you can believe it. image: membersonlystyle.com EDIT: God, I was sleeping and forgot the image of the jacket

Knits by Sacai. I’ve been turned onto Sacai recently. Abe Chitose worked at Comme des Garçons and Junya Watanabe for 10 years before starting Sacai in 1999. Her knitwear is amazing. Holt Renfrew carries the line and you should really go into the Bloor street store to and check the stuff out, especially if you haven’t had the pleasure of looking at Japanese design up close. I’m in love with the above cardigan, it’s all about the collar and shoulder. The one that Holt’s carries had burgundy in the ruffles. This season was all about the ruffle and it was incorporated throughout the collection. images: the Fashion Spot – sacai F/W 08.09
These are my favourite campaign shots so far. Natasha is slowly winning me over. via the Fashion Spot – Nina Ricci F/W 08.09 : Natasha Poly by Mario Sorrenti images: same source
I mused about the Fall Winter 2008 – 2009 ad campaign for Prada in a post called “Linda and Prada, hmm”. The results are out and it’s not pretty. click for larger images. The blue shoes in picture number 3 are stunning! The shoe shots are amazing though. See the all the images here.
Adidas Top Ten Hi Tanabata
I’m loving the Jil Sander Ad Campaign. I was a fan of his collection this season. His architectural take on the collar had me hooked. Lara Stone looks amazing in these. I’m not a big Natasha fan, but I like her profile shots. via the Fashion Spot – Jil Sander F/W 08.09 : Natasha Poly, Lara Stone & Matvey Lykov by Willy Vanderperre images: same source
