NINA RICCI "LA RUE" BAG

THERE'S A NEW IT-BAG IN TOWN: the LA RUE bag by Nina Ricci, in alligator-skin !!! she's gonna be playing a big part in the Fall/Winter 2012 campaigns from this French fashion-house. what i like from this first picture is that is was shot by my favorite dutch photographers couple INEZ van LAMSWEERDE and VINOODH MATADIN, what's even more exiting is that the flowers in campaign images are illustrated by London based artist Jo Ratcliff, the collaboration between Nina Ricci and mister Ratcliff was such fun for the both of them that they planned a mini exposition during October in the Nina Ricci boutiques in Paris and Dubai....I KNOW I'M GONNA CHECK THIS OUT, DURING PARIS FASHION WEEK !!!
P.S. the LA RUE bag will be in stores around September SO, be the first to avoid an expected waiting-list ;)

KATIE EARY s/s 2013

I THINK I FOUND ME A NEW DESIGNER TO LOVE, i haven't heard her name before So, i did some research.... AND found-out that her designs are AMAZING, raw, edgy, SICK (in a good way of course) and just what i'm looking for. She not afraid to use leopard-print for the men, works with a lot of metal and hardware and has been asked to help KANYE WEST with his fashion brand. Her spring collection is fun, great colour use, street style fabulous, the print are awesome and the accessories TO DIE FOR (she even did the skateboards). Miss Eary....I LOVE YOU !!!

JONATHAN SAUNDERS MEN s/s 2012

The spring collection for men by Jonathan Saunders was cool, sharp, hip and with a touch of retro. the colour and prints i really adored AND what about that dark green bomber-jacket I WANT IT FOR MY SELF :))) if i may say one other thing about this presentation: in my opinion, some of the clothes were a bit to small and tight on the models, but hey, how's complaining....JOB WELL DONE MISTER SAUNDERS !!!

MAN spring 2013

A few up and coming designers were put together in a show called MAN This showcase of emerging men’s wear talent, and here are the results (hold-on tight, i think it will be a bumpy ride).

Let's start the MAN show with Astrid Andersen, really cool collection that was clearly influenced by Basketball and boxing, the only thing i was wandering: LACE LEGGINGS FOR MEN ??? really, are we doing this ???  i think only time will tell, one other thing i noticed are the toe-rings, i kinda like them on a man, don't you ???
The dreadful part was made by: Agi & Sam, OMFG WHAT WERE THEY THINKING ??? NO i don't get this at all and don't get me started about those ridiculous mustaches, awful sandals AND what's whit those dark circles under the eyes....exhaustion is the new black ??? NO NO NO me don't like this !!!
The coolest part was made by: Shaun Samson, some really fun stuff to wear and that Apricot colour is just amazing with black, grey and silver....i think i'm gonna use this combination my self.

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA for H&M

YES !!! the rumours are true....MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA will be the new guest designer at H&M. and i think that i speak for many of us: DID NOT SEE THIS ONE COMING !!!
His unconventional ways of putting clothes together made this Belgium designer world famous in the fashion industry and now he will get REALLY world famous by this collaboration with H&M.

Here are some first drawing for the H&M collection, first one a woman's sweater then the second will be a men's coat and finally a preview from the "normal" MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA A/W 12/13 collection (me kinda like it and if you look at the A/W 12/13 H&M TREND collection, you could see an resemblance).



Looks good for now and hopefully it will look AMAZING at the launch which will be on the 15Th of November in selected H&M stores world wide.
