The Row Pre-Fall 2011

There are few celebrities turned designers that I respect. Victoria Beckham is one and the Olsen twins are the others. Ashley and Mary-Kate have proved they are fashion people who make beautiful and practical luxury garments. This whole collection is very menswear inspired  and I’m hooked. I can’t help but think of the day job office when I look at collections. I guess it’s a good practical aspect that should be considered at times. images: style.com

Eighth Generation x Chinese New Year

Louie Gong, the shoe artist I featured a few weeks back is celebrating the Year of the Rabbit. You will remember that Louie`s background is Nooksack, Squamish, Chinese and White. Although my family always lived on a reservation, Chinese New Year was one of our favorite holidays because it involved things that were implicitly “Chindian” – fireworks and food. – Louie Gong Learn more about Louie Gong and his shoes at the Eighth Generation website. image: courtesy of Louie Gong
