i want: Uniform Dress by Marc by Marc Jacobs

I tried on this cute military style dress by Marc by Marc Jacobs at Holt Renfrew. It looks like a Celine knockoff. It’s like Marc took an old military coat and made it a dress. It closes with a set of buttons that are covered by the zipper.  It’s super cute. Purchase online at: Neiman Marcus, STYLEBOP.com

Object Fetish by SHOWstudio: Alexander McQueen Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 Shoes

I’m loving the Object Fetish videos by SHOWstudio. Examining key pieces from next seasons international collections, Object Fetish trains obsessive attention onto next seasons not-so-obscure objects of desire – namely the choicest accessories from fashions favourite names, metaphorically unpicked through film and text. The last Object Fetish video I showed you was for the Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 Chanel Ice Cube Handbags. This video takes on Alexander McQueen’s final Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 collection. The Fetish is shoes.  The object is pictured above.  The video isn’t on youtube yet so you will have to visit the Object Fetish – SHOWstudio site to watch.  It’s well worth it, the shoes is one of the more ornate things I’ve ever seen.  I really wish SHOWstudio would have embeddable movies. I’ve also tracked down some images of what’s to come in shoes this fall for McQueen. images: showstudio.com, fashionising.com

i want: Douglas Coupland x Roots

I like a few items of the Douglas Coupland x Roots collaboration. The ROOTS X DOUGLAS COUPLAND collection includes apparel for women/men/children, accessories, leather goods, design items, furniture, limited editions, original art and a series of pop-up stores. This is the first time Douglas Coupland has designed fashion wearables. He is best known as the internationally best-selling author of “Generation X”, “JPod” and “Generation A”. “For more than 10 years I’ve been intimately exploring what it means to be Canadian,” says Coupland. “This partnership with Roots is an amazing opportunity to keep that dialogue going with an even wider, more diverse audience.” The theme created for the ROOTS X DOUGLAS COUPLAND collection is “Canada Goes Electric” and brings together Douglas Coupland’s recognizable perspective with the Roots reputation for quality goods and craftsmanship. “For the first time in our history, we stepped back and left the design to an outside designer,” explains Don Green, Co-founder of Roots. “Visually the collection is strong but beyond that, Douglas Coupland has once again shown his trademark humour and brilliance …

Chanel Haute Couture – Fall 2010 Video

Video is in for the Chanel Haute Couture – Fall 2010 collection. Now I can see the Lion in full effect. It’s a very mature Chanel collection. The ladies that can afford it are happy I’m sure. The set is killer. I love Chanel for always going over the top. Freja’s final look is amazing.
