Au Revoir Monsieur Slimane 2007-03-29 22:43:00 Contract talks between Hedi Slimane, former design leader at Dior Homme, have been up in questions for quite a while. Today, by Women's Wear Daily it has been confirmed that LVMH will not renew their contract with him. "The Hedi Days Are Over: LVMH Dumps Slimane, Van Assche Deal Near" The full details have yet to be released; however, ideologies are spreading that Hedi wanted a women's line and an excessive amount of money for his continuations which LVMH believed were out of proportion and wanted to add some new ingredients to spice up their collections.Customer Service
My Condolences 2007-04-12 22:35:00 I truly apologize for the lack of updates for the last week. I traveled to Amelia Island, Florida for some leisure time and discover new sources to publicize for my blog. However, some freak accident occurred in which the camera mysteriously did not make it into my carry on bag; rather, the camera stayed put on my kitchen counter. Updates are on the way.Customer Service Read more:Condolences
C'est Bizarre 2007-04-15 00:38:00 A new rivalry has seemed to appear this spring season between Marc Jacobs & Hedli Slimane over their "weird" shirts. The top three are all by Dior Homme, when Hedi Slimane was still designing, and the bottom white shirt is Marc Jacobs's bondage polo. Some classify these as "over fashionably pieces" I label them as the two designers way to entertain everyone in public for those who would like to people watch and see crazy people especially wearing clothing like these.Customer Service Read more:Bizarre

New Dover Street Market Collection: Commes des Garcons shirts 2007-05-25 20:06:00 I've meant to put this on here for a couple of months ago; however, due to the exorbitant amount of cool "swag" from Commes
des Garcons at the time already on the blog this was too much. If you want to view any of the items closer you can click on the image to zoom in "a bit". The highlight of the collection is Fred Perry x Commes des Garcons new flashy polo shirts.Customer Service Read more:Dover

New Marc Jacobs Vans 2007-05-25 19:20:00 The New Marc Jacobs
* Vans have finally arrived. I've been waiting forever because the rumors I heard were that they were going to be around months ago. However, that's why you never listen to rumors. Unfortunately, I have no clue when these are set to be released. Keep in mind just like the previous Marc Jacobs * Vans these will run-out soon when stores get them in stock.Customer Service
A.P.C. Overload 2007-05-30 17:19:00 Here is a hint of what A.P.C. has to offer you for the summer season. A.P.C. is well-known for their raw denim; however, when I noticed all these items was shocked. They also have a newer collection "Madras" which is the A.P.C. "color" collection pretty much. As of last year the collection consisted primarily of a "selection" of items like they barely had a collection. However, this year they've introduced a men's and women's collection. I have to admit that not only are the clothes pretty cool in the "Madras" collection but I like the funky writing they use for there tags too. It's amazing that A.P.C. doesn't have the traditional dark "French Colors" in many of there collections such as Lacoste whose polos come in attractive colors but also colors such as French mustard. Also, If you want Jesus's mom's shoes, Mary's shoes, they are available from A.P.C. now too. They go perfect with an ancient robe.Customer Service
Tote-A-Licous 2007-05-30 17:09:00 Trovata's patent leather tote & Canvas day bag are excellent for weekend getaways and carrying "stuff" around town during the hot days of shopping and relaxing during the summer. These are available at Barneys: $495 for the canvas day bag & $395 for the patent leather. Seabags are a cool new bag to carry Frisbees, magazines, and everything for beach lovers to carry.Customer Service

American Apparel Ad 2007-06-08 13:46:00 Browsing around on Facebook I noticed this AmericanApparel
ad. I felt bad for the girl since this is how they characterize the head guy: " Only a handful of chief executives appear in their own ads. Even fewer appear in them without any pants on. But Dov Charney, the 36-year-old in charge of hip clothing maker American Apparel
Inc., is not your typical corporate chieftain. His sense of style -- evoking the seedy side of the disco era -- permeates the company's in-store experience and advertising, including one ad picturing his bare backside. It also carries through to the workplace: Charney feels free to engage in consensual sexual relationships with his staff. "I've had relationships, loving relationships, that I'm proud of," he says. "I think it's a First Amendment right to pursue one's affection for another human being." He sounds cool with the "disco era" line but everything else is just creepy.Customer Service
Acting Like An Idiot 2007-06-08 13:42:00 Here is a fine example of how to make yourself look dumb. The first rule is that if you go to a party like this and do dumbstuff like this you shouldn't take pictures. Ofcourse, someone breaks the rule, thank God really because I couldn't make fun of her otherwise, and thanks to them we have this.Customer Service Read more:Acting
Something Different 2007-06-08 12:58:00 A video of a guy longboarding around. It's pretty cool artsy quick clip. I will be in Ottawa for the next couple of days so don't expect any updates. I will try to take pictures but doubt it since my current one misfunctions quite often. In the video check out how many times the guy has to turn his key. I kind of feel bad for him because of it.This video doesn't seem to work. It annoys me.Customer Service

Henrik Vibskov 2007-06-12 20:53:00 Henrik Vibskov, a Danish design defier, is well-known for his art works. His art has no direct form and contously metamorphosises one second he works on film, the next fashion, & even music. The truth about his art is that most designs are so random they catch every fan by surprise. Henrik Bibskov seems to be a young Rei Kawakubo, the enlightening head designer at commes des garcons.object width="425" height="350">Customer Service
McBoring 2007-06-12 15:32:00 Alexander McQueen has thousands of accomplishments such as at the age of 16 he became an apprentice for Saville row tailors. However, these mean nothing when you look at his footwear. For quite some time, McQueen has been in charge of designing the Alexander McQueen Pumas; however, all I see is "pumas" that are equal to any other pair just priced twice or three times the average price.Customer Service

The "It" Bag 2007-06-20 21:59:00 Anya Hindmarch's plastic bag has caused quite a commotion in London; however, as of today the bag has caused quite a stir all over the U.S. with it's release. I've never seen a designer have more say on their bag as well. Anya Hindmarch released a couple thousand word statement just to describe to customers: the ways to get the bag, it's environmental impact, where to find(not just the name of the store but listed about 9,000 details), price, & even the most minuscule details describing the "it" bag and ways for all the fashionistas to get their own. The lines were long about an hour & a half if you were 110th or so in line, but even worse for the procrastinators that showed up late. However, if you are desperate for this bag you can pay from 5-12 times the original 15$ price on eBay. "The bag will be available from all US Anya Hindmarch stores, Ron Herman and Fred Segal Flair for just $15. Due to overwhelming demand purchases will be limited to two bags per customer.The bag wi
Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 2007-06-25 22:36:00 ChicAlexanderMcQueen
, a fashion prodigy at 16, has revamped his collection better than ever this year. McQueen 2008 looks like he has been going to cafes with Rei Kawakubo, designer for commes des garcons, and gotten some hints with the polka dot theme. However, polka dots are not the only highlight, the real highlight from the show is the awesome yellow cardigan styled with the board-short like print look. Through this collection, McQueen emphasizes the importance of fun, flare, and uniqueness in your "day to day wear". His motif is italicized with the "badass" looking models who seem to have been pumped with confidence steroids.*original photos taken by Marcio Madeira Customer Service Read more:Spring

Bottega Veneta Spring-Summer 2008 2007-06-25 21:34:00 Eye Candy*original photos taken by Marcio MadeiraThe Real Deal(Only a jerk leaves out fashion's music Initially, as I regarded and watched the hard-to-find videos of this current collection, due to no one uploading them, I saw two sides of the collection. The madras, open-shirt, & "beachwear hipster" looks which are comparable to a more upscale Trovata lifestyle; however, also noticed this years Commes des Garcons "Flare", the sparkling gold & shiny colors. The madras in the show was very worn showing a youth side growing up, like the madras at J.Crew grows up) Just one more thing, if you are a fan of male bags Bottega is the brand to look at; although expensive, they are the chicest bags around.Customer Service Read more:Spring
