Leather just doesnt look dead enough.. I think a carcass would do.

I think a quality hat is one of the most neglected of accessories. Victor Osbourne has done some pretty interesting pieces for this newest collection, including this little number.

cut. and. paste.

fantastic fashion collages.

I've plugged them once, and I'll plug them again: ALTER, brooklyn


They just received some new looks from Cheap Monday. Technically from a "fall collection", but are certainly light enough for even those hot'n sticky summer days. Now im'a throw some glamour mag shit on you! Throw on a big pendant necklace and a pair of Christian Lacroix pumps and you're night look is complete.

If you love any of these but dont live in NYC... contact them by phone or email and they will gladly ship internationally!

such a teese! Christian Dior Haute Couture F/W '08 '09 Highlights

Its no secret that Ms. Dita and the timeless fashion brand have made fabulous bedfellows, taking her from kitsch to couture. This collection seems tailor made for the high fashion pin-up.

details. details.

I'm a sucker for sculptural details and no one does it better than Zac Posen. This piece from pre-fall '08 is definitely on my wish list after I spotted it on lovely Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl.

How many photographers does it take to make a picture?

The photographer duo is so hot right now. You may have seen the Miu Miu photos by Mert + Marcus (below, July 17th post) or heard of Markus Klinko + Indrani, but there is a fresh pair for you to slip into. Reed + Rader. Its new, its funky, its fresh.

The 1986 Chelsea Hop!

Dsquared2 isn't usually my favorite, but their spring 09 collection has some choice looks! It has an obvious 1980's b-boy inspiration with that ever present Chelsea boy twist. And its looks that can be easily duplicated even on a small budget. Shop around at your local vintage and thift shops (even try ebay for the eyewear by CAZAL that RUN DMC made so fashionable) and if you're really digg'n the khaki shorts, and you are in the NYC/greenpoint, Brooklyn area, stop into ALTER and pick up a pair! I think the models they chose added some kitch too and I actually really enjoy it.




Notice the Holga around the models neck (directly above). +5 bonus points.

while i would sell my first born for those shoes I'm not a huge fan of ms. paradis in these ads, let's just say photoshop is her friend....

LattaBags to Bother, Ms. Jill Sander

I have to talk shit for just a second.

Jill Sander bores the living shit out of me, but I guess if you throw enough bags on someone its bound to be interesting.

Rasta-Punk Skittle Explosion + Urban-Beach Goth-Chic

I've just taken a good hard look at John Gallianos latest collection. At first, I hated it. Really. Really. Really hated it. Then I wasn't sure. Some of the designs are really innovative and styled in a really interesting way, but the color palette was throwing me off. I like his bohemian/hippie references with the patch work and vests, but it seems to be hit and miss. I cant make a decision on this, so make one yourself.

want.

I know, I know. We're supposed to be over gladiators and the like. But I couldn't help it. The Dior Extreme Cutout Sandal for Fall '08. want.
