Valentino: The Last Emperor

Published by

I get to see the Valentino doc at TIFF. This is gonna be so amazing. Valentino: The Last Emperor Country: USA Year: 2008 Language: English, Italian, French Runtime: 96 minutes Format: Colour/35mm Rating: G Production Company: Acolyte Films Executive Producer: Carter Burden Producer: Matt Kapp Cinematographer: Tom Hurwitz Editor: Bob Eisenhardt Sound: Peter Miller Principal Cast: Valentino Garavani, Giancarlo Giammetti International Sales Agent: UTA/Submarine Entertainment He stands vindicated as one of the great arbiters of twentieth-century design. His forty-five-year career spans the dizzying innovations and financial explosion of post-war global fashion, from his start in the French ateliers where he studied, through the meteoric rise of his line in the sixties, when Italian fashion houses came to dominate the international marketplace, and on to today, as he departs, elegant as ever. A master technician, Valentino never forgot to keep women and men beautiful in his clothes.

Colette x Gap

Published by

If I was only in NYC like last year to see how the Colette pop up shop in The Gap will work out. www.colettexgap.com host a Colette pop-up shop adjacent to its Fifth Avenue flagship, from September 6 through October 5. Called Colette X Gap, the shop will look more like Colette’s Paris boutique than your typical excessively branded Gap, shilling the French brand’s signature candles, room fragrances, and art. The shop will also collaborate with Oakley on sunglasses, Le Labo on fragrances, and Asics on Tiger sneakers, for limited-edition stock to be sold exclusively in the pop-up. Colette has also commissioned artists and designers, like French graffiti artist Monsieur André, accessories maven Anne-Marie Herckes, Repetto, and Alexis Mabille, to revamp Gap staples like trench coats, denim jackets, and totes, also to be offered exclusively in the Colette pop-up. The store will release new products each week, including limited-edition Gap tees by Parisian and New York artists, exclusive stationery, and other objets d’art.(Colette Pop-up to Arrive in Fall, Courtesy of the Gap — The Cut)

Published by

I nerded out and bought a print by a local artist, Darryl Graham. He’s drawn 360 Marvel characters. Everyone is there: Xavier, Magneto, The Sentinels, Cyclops, Gambit, Wolverine, etc. It’s really cool, I can’t wait for it to arrive in my mailbox. Darryl is very good. I fell in love with the print immediately. Click this link to see the a larger version. I emailed Darryl directly to order the print and I asked for permission to use the smaller version of the image for this post. He called me awesomely sweet and that made me Internet blush! I’m Internet crushing on him now. Thanks Darryl!

i want: Alexander McQueen and Puma shoes

Alexander McQueen and Puma shoes The collaboration seems to be doing very well. It’s expanded to include many style for men and for women. I’m a fan of these 3 styles. Yup, this shoe is pretty tame in my books. I wear my Vegas shoes a lot and they are way more obnoxious. The dude in jacflash noticed them; he was an Adidas head too. There aren’t too many of us around. I haven’t seen them here and I kinda like that. images: alexandermcqueen.puma.com
