This photo by Tommy Ton made me change my mind about the Alexander Wang cat eye sunglasses. They looks so fun. Alexander Wang created these sunglasses in collaboration with Linda Farrow. Linda has done other collaborations with Raf Simons, Dries Van Noten and The Row to name a few. UPDATE (April 11, 2010): You can grab a pair of these sunglasses at Holt Renfrew Bloor Street images: oaknyc.com, style.com
Karen Elson the redheaded supermodel is a singer. I have to admit, she’s good!. I had no idea but it seems she has always dabbled in music. Check out this live acoustic version of her song The Ghost Who Walks. She has a great voice
The Erdem Fall 2010 collection was another one that needed video in order to get the full impact of it’s beauty. The photos look flat and don’t provide the same visual experience the video offers. The man is a master of the print. images: style.com
The D&G Fall 2010 collection felt like a Dsquared2 show. It seemed the knits were something I would expect from the Canadian duo. There are some great knits for fall 2010. I even love the knit jumpsuits and rompers. I don’t understand the concept of short knits in winter but I’m loving it. These guys know how to work a theme in a collection. D&G puts out collections that don’t waiver at all. I admire them for it. images: thefashionspot.com
I’m loving the Spring 2010 collection from Marc Le Bihan. It’s a bit gothic and I love the boots as a styling prop. It’s a great contrast of girly clothing and the masculine hard boot. No retailers in Canada for this Paris based designer, but there are a few in the US. images: marc-lebihan.com
I got this Rxmance Tshirt at Holt Renfrew the other day. It’s a men’s medium shirt. They didn’t have a small available so I decided I could wear as a dress if I wanted. Just slap a belt on it. So I bought it. I absolutely adore the print and I knew if I didn’t own it I would regret it. images: blackbirdballard.com
Louise Goldin’s fall 2010 collection brought me back into the fold. I wasn’t all that interested in what she did for Spring. However fall was dark, hard and futuristic. Pictures don’t tell the whole story so I’ve provided you with the video. images: style.com
A little over a year ago frillr.com tipped me off about Rose Codero. I was immediately taken that I wrote a post called simply, Rose Cordero. I hoped to see lots of her in FW10. I’m getting my wish. What a year you’ve had Rose, I love seeing you around. The editorial and cover from Vogue Paris are stunning. You can see the full editorial on models.com. images: models.com
It was the prints that attracted me to Maria Grachvogel Fall 2010 collection. They remind me of the sea, sky and mountains. Maria started her line in 1994 and has been showing at London Fashion week since. She shuns traditional techniques and doesn’t use fit models but real people. Sizes run from 2 – 20 and she designs so that the garments flatter all sizes. Maria Grachvogel hand paints each design which is then digitally printed on the fabric. images: nymag.com
I had no idea there was a Prada Spring/Summer 2010 Ad Campaign video. I can’t help but watch this mesmerized. I think it’s the music. Here’s a quick video reminder of the Prada Spring 2010 collection.
