It is no surprise that as one of the biggest fashion events in New York, Fashion Week is given extraordinary attention every year. We still saw many classy ready-to-wear collections on runways in Fall 2009 Fashion Week.

Designers presented full collections of ready-to-wear dresses or skirts with fascinating details (ruffles, seaming, belts, sleeves, knots, etc). Apparel was seen on the runway ranged from graceful, ladylike dresses and metallic tights from BCBG to one shoulder body-hugging mini dresses designed by Alexander Wang. Polished silhouettes of elegant pencil skirts paired with simple black turtleneck and tights also graced the runways, indicating that despite is the gloomy economic outlook, the pursuit of beauty is still going strong.

Transparent Cell Phones: Electronic Fashion Storm Landing

August 31st, 2010 admin No comments

When cell phones burst onto the market years ago, who could have imagined they would be able to play music, take photos and provide access to the internet? But the surprise brought by technology is endless, and as a new fashion statement, the latest stylish cell phones are transparent! Transparent cell phones on the market have two kinds of styles, transparent keyboard cell phones and transparent screen cell phones.

The touch keyboard cell phones are not new-fashioned, but the crystal touch keyboard is attractive enough for ladies. When closed, it just seems as a normal cell phone. But when it is slid open, the clear and glittery keyboard stands out. Not a lady can keep her eyes away from the crystal-like transparent keyboard cell phone.

The glittering transparent screen cell phone is designed for vanguards of the trend, which caters the taste of both males and females. It flaunts the individuality on the screen, but restrains the conciseness on the keyboard.

The highest ideal transparent cell phone is crystal clear from head to toe. Need not too much word to describe how elegant it is, the full transparent cell phone is not only a cell phone, but a piece of gorgeous jewelry. Even so, it is still a concept cell phone now. But we believe with the never-ending changes and improvements of technology, this perfect cell phone will not be that patient to stay just in concept for too long.

Nicole Richie unveils new collections for AW10

August 30th, 2010 admin No comments


Ah, Nicole Richie – now there’s a girl who knows how to make a celebrity label work. After launching her House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate lines to much success, the designer hop-footed it to London last night to unveil her highly-awaited autumn collections for both labels.

And, so she says, next season’s collections are about looking as though you’ve made an effort when in actual fact you haven’t. Er, sounds good to us.

“I’m a busy working mother. I’m all for what’s comfortable but I don’t think people today make enough effort with what they wear,” Nicole told Vogue UK. “At the same time I don’t want to have to get out of bed early to decide what to put on. My jackets are my favourite part of my collection because you can just throw one on over jeans and a vest and it looks like you’ve made an effort.”

Ms. Richie was in town to host a dinner last night with my-wardrobe.com – where both of her labels are stocked exclusively – in celebration her new-season offerings, and so we hear, we can expect handbags and sunglasses from her in coming collections.

“I was walking around the other day and I saw this woman wearing this great hat and I thought actually that’d make a really good bag so we turned it upside down and now it’s a great looking bag,” she said. “Handbags and sunglasses are the area I really hope to expand on. I’m a real handbag girl. I couldn’t cope without my Balenciaga- it comes everywhere with me.”

We can’t wait to see what’s in store for next season.

Mulberry for Target?

August 30th, 2010 admin No comments


Dear friends, you did not read wrong – we are wriggling with excitement at the news that’s just broken this morning. So we hear on the grapevine, Mulberry is teaming up with Target to launch a lower-priced collection of handbags.

Admittedly we were a little surprised – we didn’t have the British giant down as the diffusion type, especially seeing as their high-priced luxury leather goods sell so well regardless of the tag – but we are, of course, beside ourselves with anticipation.

Details on the collaboration are very few and far between today, with the only words of wisdom coming from WWD, telling us we’ll have to wait until December 24th before we can get our hands on them (Santa, baby, if you’re listening), but we’re confident in Mulberry’s choice of partner for this lower-price project.

Target have, after all, collaborated with Zac Posen, Rodarte, Anya Hindmarch, Anna Sui and, most recently, Liberty, to much success.

We have a feeling we’ll be seeing rather a few of these affordable-‘It’ bags come Christmas – we only hope Mulberry doesn’t lose its trademark touch of expert detail and fine finishings.

But come on, this is Mulberry! Affordable Mulberry! We can’t wait.

Hostem With the Mostest

August 29th, 2010 admin No comments

Hotsem

Go East, young men! Recently, a bevy of cool men’s shops have sprung up on the streets of Shoreditch, in London’s East End, including Hostem, where customers are welcomed into an olde-world interior designed by the eccentric duo at Jamesplumb. The front desk is made from an old church pew, the ceilings are draped in Swedish linen, and vintage lighting swings from long cables, allowing customers to maneuver the lights for closer inspection of the duds.

Despite the décor, Hostem (plucked from the Latin audio hostem meaning “I hear the enemy”) is mercifully free of heritage-brand brouhaha. Instead, young moderns can find a trio of chambers filled with everyday staples. The first room houses footwear from Visvim, trousers from Casely-Hayford and scents from Agatha Blois; the second includes more directional pieces from Rick Owens, MA+ and Damir Doma; and the third is an ever-evolving space for visiting designers, the first one being Dr. Romanelli’s Prescription Shoppe.

The love child of the creative consultant Mark Quinn and the London fashion maven James Brown (a young Mick Jagger look-alike), the store is the antithesis of the techno-thumping shops around town. In Quinn’s words, Hostem is “a men’s-wear establishment intent on mixing luxury street brands with conceptual, left-field labels in an environment of considered, understated elegance.”

Daisy Lowe video exclusive

August 27th, 2010 admin No comments


Fancy seeing what Daisy Lowe wears to wonder around an old warehouse in London while she chats about her style, her influences and her biggest inspirations? Thought so. She’s just shot an exclusive film with footwear brand Palladium where she does just that.

And knowing how many of you are fans of Ms. Lowe’s style, we thought it only apt to share it with you.

In a striped Margaret Howell tee, an American Apparel skirt, a to-die-for studded McQueen leather jacket and a pair of Palladium kicks (fashion is nothing if isn’t promotion), Daisy chats about her love for fashion, what she’ll be wearing this season, and her favourite Gareth Pugh dress as she explores an abandoned warehouse in London’s Shoreditch.

Naturally, it makes for pretty darn cool viewing – and admittedly, we kinda love getting an insight into Lowe’s life.

Watch the video here. If you want us, we’ll be in Shoreditch…

Emma Watson’s new pixie crop

August 27th, 2010 admin No comments


We couldn’t believe our eyes this morning when we saw a picture of Emma Watson’s all-new super-short crop – those long wavy locks have gone, and they won’t be coming back for a while if her 60’s pixie style has anything to do with it.

We suppose we should mention here that we absolutely love it. We can’t believe just how much her new Mia Farrow-inspired crop accentuates her natural beauty – those eyes! They were never that big before…

To thank for her dramtic new ‘do is the Cutler Salon in New York – the place to get your hair cut stateside, FYI – where one super-talented stylist took on the challenge of snipping Emma’s hair to within an inch of its life. Luckily, Ms. Watson loves it as much as we do.

“Cut my hair off a few days ago… Feels incredible. I love it,” she said on Facebook yesterday after uploading a picture of her new style. “I’ve wanted to do this for years and years; it’s the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like.”

Oh we do, Emma, we do. And just as Victoria Beckham coined the ‘Pob’, we have a feeling (very brave) girls will be rushing to get the Watson crop.
