These derbies from Maison Martin Margiela are replicas of a 1964 version. They are leather treated to look like python. They are so stunning.

i want: Isabel Marant Fall 2010 Cropped Pants
I saw some red leather leggings from Danier last week but I`d rather have the Isabel Marant Sok leather cropped pants. Â So hot.
I usually don`t like sequins but the Isabel Marant Folco sequin leggings use the perfect sized sequin. They are so shimmery and a great party piece.

Lanvin x H&M Fall 2010 Illustrations
The Lanvin x H&M Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 Preview gave me access to the H&M press site which had all kinds of multimedia to download. The illustration above was part of the invite I received for the preview. I found two more illustrations from Alber Elbaz on the site.
They call them illustrations but it looks like Alber used pieces of fabric from the collection to create people and clothing.

Iris Clothing Fall 2010 – 2011 Motion Lookbook
Toronto based Iris Clothing is a locally made menswear label that is available online and at Uncle Otis in Yorkville. Merv Maranan is the man behind Iris Clothing. Merv cut my hair once. I cheated on my first and long-term barber with Merv because he was way closer to home at Mike Scissor’s. He’s also a friend of my brother’s who facilitated my infidelities. I attended the Spring 2010 launch party at Uncle Otis earlier in the year and really liked his collection of well crafted classics.
My brother is a big fan. I’m tempted to call my brother a muse to Iris Clothing as he gets special one of a kind styles that aren’t available to the public. That seems pretty muse worthy to me. My brother has great style and is immaculate in his dress. I’m sloppy while he is perfect. He’s a jeans, t-shirt, button up, hoodie, hat, jacket and sneakers person but looks really good.
Merv directed two short fashion films for the Iris Clothing Fall 2010 collection and they are amazing.
