nicke — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:18:56 +0000

So- I have to be honest. I saw a pretty silly pair of leggings on Haute Macabre and thought- who is this strange designer, Anzevino & Florence . So I went to their website and loved it. In fact- I realized I even had a T-shirt of theirs. So I end my day saying CONGRATS Anzevino & Florence! You took risk and some may be pushing limits- but heck thats the best kind of fashion.

Fashion Quote Friday

TMI highlights from the Guardian interview with Andreas Kronthaler- husband and co designer of Vivienne Westwood.

(On the Vivienne’s quote saying sex was overrated….)

“I think so too. That’s all I can say. I have a very good friend of mine and she loves sex, and she found this new man and she says that the sex is really good. And I say: ‘But Yasmine, you know that this is not important.’ Of course it’s OK, when it’s good it’s good, but they are two different things. Let’s put it like that. Love and sex. They go together of course, and when they go together it’s wonderful, but it doesn’t have to.”

-Andreas Kronthaler

“Andreas always changes his underwear according to what he’s wearing. Don’t you? That’s very important to you. Whereas I don’t bother wearing any these days.”

-Vivienne Westwood

With a day from 6:45am -11:00pm, she is on top of her game. Still mainly in the European markets she sill has a whole lot of world to connect to. Now that’s an high heal with some big steps to take.

Candy to Wear Touching Bare Skin

nicke — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 07:50:00 +0000

CDFA 2006 fashion designer of the year Tom Binn‘s creates jewelry that is meant to be played with, teased and treasured. From Couture lines to “Faux Real” he spreads the spectrum. While most pieces are classic- Mr. Binns has a way of turning Classic into something tasty. Binn has caught the attention of even the Los Angeles Times by gracing Hollywood A listers. While the LA Times may call Binn’s look “trashing treasures,” it’s not trashing at all. He dares his audience to try new things, don’t do what is expected, taste the rainbow….

Subtly may not be his strong point, but pearls sure are.

The Most Important First

nicke — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:54:25 +0000

I wanted to start with the greatest. The arguably the most important fashion house. The Great Chanel starting with the visionary Gabriel “Coco” Chanel. When starting her line Coco did not go with wild new looks- she went back to the basics- and made them into pieces you could own for a lifetime. With class, elegance and originality Coco ran the Chanel fashion house from 1907 till her death in 1971.

With her signature scent, purse, and suit the line has fast forwarded to 2009 with Karl Lagerfield bringing the classic with the new (HIS signature leather gloves)

A name so widely known that you can’t find one person who would not recognize the fashion power house. Try little girls with their Barbies, or currently the most flamboyant actor in Hollywood, even cartoons like the Simpsons want in on the beauty of Chanel.
