I was reading WWD.com and came across these WUYORK handmade bowties. I was surprised to discover that Taiwanese designer York Wu spends his time in New York and Toronto. He is also an interdisciplinary artist/designer and Interior Designer. His bowties are quite beautiful and unusual. These bowties can move between traditional usage and jewellery. The WUYORK website contains more product and campaign images. There is also photos of the packaging, which is just as beautiful. images: wuyork.com

bamjamz send me a tank top in the Sweet Dreamz print from their new line of sleep/lounge wear for review. The line consists of tanks, tunics, shorts, leggings, tshirts and pants. I was interested because bamjamz is Toronto based and they use bamboo fabric. I’m a big fan of bamboo. bamjamzâ„¢ is the latest concept from GUATS Soft Goodsâ„¢ founders Brad Rudin and Adrian Kraizel, that has redefined the concept of “pyjamas†through a fun, sexy and adventurous concept designed to fit the lifestyle of the modern woman – urban, active and spiritual. Made from the softest, coziest bamboo stretch blend fabric, bamjamzâ„¢ delivers a new dimension in natural comfort and performance. This remarkable sustainable and easy to care for fabric breathes, regulates temperature, wicks moisture, controls odour and is hypoallergenic.

Lanvin Small Piquet Dress This is the same dress from the amazing Lanvin Spring 2010 Ad Campaign. Beautiful.
The full ad campaign for Balenciaga’s Spring 2010 collection is out. I kinda like it even though it looks a bit budget. The more I see the boots, the more I like them. It was the W magazine I was browsing this weekend that planted the bug.
For those of you that have been desperately wondering how they can purchase items from the Rad by Rad Hourani collection look no futher, there is an eshop. The Rad by Rad Hourani webshop now operational and waiting for orders. Of course if you are in Montreal you can purchase Rad by Rad Hourani at Reborn
Oooooh wartime Dior, I’m down. This totally feeds into my military fetish and marks the first time I’ve been interested in Dior in many years. Wow, what is pre-fall 2010 doing, first YSL and now Dior. The light baby blue ruffled dress is my favourite. Oh and I’m loving the leather. I’ve bashed Dior a fare bit on the site lately. The last time I had something positive to say was Dior Fall 2008 Couture. images: style.com
Jersey and Leather Long Top by Rick Owens Rick Owens drapey leather goodness with a dash of jersey to round it out. I would wear this alone as a mini dress but I could also see it with a pair of super bright colourful tights or leggings. images: luisaviaroma.com
