What is fashion? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Marc & Dolce: Don't Mix asked around the question: "What is fashion?" some replied with there own versions and others recited our favorite quotes.Fashion is art. Art is self-expression. We're like walking canvases.-mellFashion is what we live our lives in, its our own art. -anonymousFashion is falling out of line. Busting out of conformity. Being your own self and not caring what anyone else thinks. But most importantly, fashion is never wearing socks with sandals :]-emilyFashion is in every aspect of life. Fashion is an art. Its the way certain objects come together to make a finished design. It is anything that looks good.Just because a designer designs something doesn't always mean that it is in fashion. Not every trend looks good on everyone.It especially depends on how people wear the trends of the season and when they wear them.-xKx Fashion is the industry, the actual clothing. Style is the way in which the clothes are put together, the way they are
The Premium Denim Downfall 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The trend of popular premium denim labels rapidly changes year after year. In the past Levi almost died out through over-exposure; however, with Capital Es they have gained back their reputation for quality premium denim. Unfortunately, 7evens followed the same pattern and are now growing increasingly unpopular. Could Rock & Republic be the next denim company to fall from the top as fast as they made it big? The only blames have been lawsuits & naming rights plagueing the company. Along, with cliche looks and a devestating lookbook from the '07 which recently appeared in New York Fashion week as most likely the worst show of them all.Customer Service Read more:Premium

Agatha Ruiz de la Prada F/W 2007-2008- click on image to enlarge 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Color galore with the Fall/Winter collection of 2007-2008. The Spanish designer used a varied color collection while still keeping her traditional motifs: hearts, moons, and every fun girly shape. However, this time she used them to create a newer sporty chic look. No more chic tennis girl rather an original chic mountain girl.Well done..........Agatha

Vogues Hommes: Interview 2007-04-13 19:05:00 http://www.voguehommes.com/petedoherty/en/video/itv_en.htmlI appologize that this takes forever to load. I'd put it up in a video; however, I can't find it anywhere and have no clue on how to embed this type of file. The first one is an interview from an editor at Vogue Hommes on Pete Doherty, the new issue, and also how he feels Pete Doherty could make it into the magazine and why they chose him. It's actually quite fascinating.http://www.voguehommes.com/petedoherty/en/e-card/e-card_en.htmlJust a slideshow with some music from Pete. It's pretty cool just to watch.Customer Service

From Suits to a T-shirt: Tim Hamilton 2007-04-13 17:47:00 Here is a brief collection of Tim Hamilton
's Spring collection so basically you should be wearing these now; however, the cold spell across the states is preventing this. It's pretty interesting that about five minutes ago I posted his Fall line and you can tell that Tim can do everything. In those first three pictures he has ties, sweaters, jacket, a suit, and now in these images it shows that Tim Hamilton
has the ability to make clothes for every moment. Some designers aren't into making t-shirts; however, this designer has a full range of clothing. He has the liberty to design as he pleases and expand his line in any direction. Keep up the good work. Customer Service Read more:Suits
Je Voudrais............Tim Hamilton's Eye Candy Clothing **click image to enlarge** 2007-04-13 05:39:00 I'm pleased to announce that Tim Hamilton
, former Jcrew designer & notably on his way to success as a solo designer, has sent me a gallery of his collections. These are not the only pictures I have these are just a little preview of what is to come for next fall. I chose these three pictures because they show not only three great pieces but also it shows the work of Tim. You can see he has an expertise in making winter coat, the second focuses on his ability to construct office apparel, and the last shows that he has a fine eye for producing menswear essentials, sweaters and ties. I'd like to thank Tim for all his work and cooperation with me. He is extraordinarily helpful and I appreciate everything.Customer Service Read more:Tim Hamilton

Married to the Mob's Summer Shirt 2007-05-31 22:11:00 Just another slogan t-shirt out on the market these days; however, House of Holland is usually the only "hip" slogan t-shirt company to go to these days. However, I find this shirt very funny. It's in a world of it's own with it's quote: "My girls rock Balenciaga & smoke mad marijuana." I'm surprised that they don't have another one titled: My girls rock Balenciaga & snort mad coke or even a My girls rock Balenciaga and rock at rehab. Lets just hope that they consider my suggestions for next years shirts. These shirts bring people watching to another level because it adds humor to the mixture and spices it up a little. Not only are their shirt slogans funny but also are the posts on their blog/diary-type website."If you hang out Downtown or know about “art stuff” then you must be aware that a so-called “art revolution” is going on at that beautiful old building down on Elizabeth and Spring. That’s my corner of choice to chill on, so I’ve been seeing the slow progr Read more:Summer

Jermain Defoe 2007-05-31 20:49:00 This has nothing to do with the fashion side of the blog. However, since it does have an athlete, Jermain Defoe( a football player in the English Premier League). I thought this was interesting because of the detail of the interview. "Armani or Gucci" is one of the questions and I find it interesting that he replied Armani because the Gucci clothes are too large. In another interview they ask Shaun Wright-Phillips the same question and he replies: "Definitely, Armani by a long shot."Customer Service

Mui Mui Spring 2007 2007-06-19 14:47:00 Mui Mui has a fine collection of clothing; however, like Commes des Garcons, John Galliano, & Missoni the chicest clothing is almost impossible to find. Anyone can find the shirts, jackets, and pants, but everyone is asking: "where is that "blue jacket" & does that Tyvek jacket even exist?" This year's collection had it's camel, wool, and thousands of silk blends; however, it also added a couple trends for this year which will flee just as fast as crocs. Mui Mui's trend item was the Tyvek jacket.Customer Service Read more:Spring

Dries van Noten 2007-06-26 15:36:00 zoom-inLike a painters set of water colors, Dries
Van Noten's menswear spring 2007-2008 show had every glob of color from neon green to eggplant purple. Every fashion designer has their trademarks, Jil Sander light gray & detailed silhouettes, & dark blue, while Dries Van Noten is notorious for his collection of nylon and thin-fabricated jackets. The floral print shirt, pictured above, was also a piece in the prada show for this year. A great change from last years collection, this year's collection was a youth european look.*original photos taken by Marcio MadeiraCustomer Service
My Encounter with Hipsters 2007-06-30 16:48:00 Yesterday, outside of fenway park, coming back from a Redsox game(which was pretty boring w/ great people watching) I had my own encounter with "hipsters" who were crowding around outside a bar like the hyenas in Lion King( it was intense). I decided that I needed a picture of these guys but then I thought to myself" why not take a mental picture". The best part of their outfits was their distinctive Ksubi like jeans & their actual "The Cobrasnake" t-shirts. Well, here it is:the hipstersCustomer Service Read more:Encounter
Sales 2007-06-30 14:37:00 Stel's, one of the few stores that sells Nom de Guerre, on 334 Newbury St, in Boston is having their pre-sale currently. This means that you can go ahead of time to purchase up all the good stuff; however, you must pick up your clothing on July 7th, the actual sale date. If you are thinking you will go next week( you are out of luck) because it's closed for 4th of July weekend and festivities(They will be too hungover to work). I picked up two nom de guerre t-shirts & an A.P.C. longsleeve polo shirt. They have some dress shirts, shoes, t-shirts, & Acne jeans on sale. The Nom de Guerre & A.P.C. jeans will not be on sale. I asked why: "Because they have like a cult following" replied one of the employees. Everything is on sale for 40% off. The women's clothing is also on sale. The best things on sale are: NDG t-shirts, A.P.C. clothing, & Acne Jeans.Saks: Currently, has their sale, for whatever no one really knows, on a lot of stuff between 30-40% off.Customer Service Read more:Sales
