Wow - this is an amazing line up including my favorite artists Miss Van, Junko Mizuno and Aiko Nakagawa in a show called "Heart Throb." I may have to go down to LA just for the night to see this. The show opens Saturday, March 10th and runs through April 7th at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery. This is a must see - mark your calendars and prepare for your heart to skip a few beats . . .
Patricia Field , famed for her styling on the hit TV show “Sex and the City “ is once again noticed for her works. She was nominated for her costume designs for “The Devil Wears Prada �? (one of my fave movies). If you luv’d the shoes that she was wearing on the red carpet for the 79th Annual Academy Awards , don’t be envy because Payless has joined hands with this brilliant stylist and for the holiday season of this year, they will release the Red Carpet Collection by Patricia Field exclusively at Payless stores. The Payless shoes are a uniquely designed platform heel with an ankle strap featuring an edgy mix of metallic and colored snake skin. The collection is intended to include handbags as well, with pricing expected at $45 and under. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens next, but I can predict this is going to be “crazy�? in a good way, I luv Patricia Field!
I have to say I never saw this coming…
Payless and Field have had a close working relationship for about a year and onehalf; Field has been styling Payless TV and print ads, as well as the seasonal lifestyle signage featured in the stores. Upon hearing the news of Field’s Oscar® nomination, Payless approached her with the design project and the opportunity.
If you have followed the tradeshow curcuit in Las Vegas you would know that it feels like every year there is a new tradeshow popping up. Usually a smaller venue with smaller, up and coming brands, these off-shoot shows have given many small brands the opportunity to get there foot in the door and showcase their wears at a fraction of the cost. So, this year brought us the Fo’ Sho’ Fo’ Show! The smallest of tradeshows, showcasing about a dozen brands…Spent a bit of time at the, Japanese brand, Phenomenon Booth, were I chatted it up with Mimi and snapped some flicks of my favs for the ladies…check it!
More tradeshow action! Some more of my favorites for the ladies…I was so happy to stumble upon a new line from L.A. called Grandmas Glock! The name alone did it for me! You will want to spend every day snuggled up in there soft, comfy clothes! I fell in love and it didn’t help that Johnny (designer), Audry (partner in crime) and Benito (supa mod-el) are some of the nicest people ever!!! Take a look at some pieces from there first season…and I am sure it won’t be there last!!
Crew luv baby! Audry, Johnny and Benito!
Now the line is for the ladies but look equally as hot on the men! Androgynous clothing was a trend I saw quit a bit of at the tradeshows. Benito is wearing the Button Up Cardigan, Ribbon printed tank, Paperbag shorts and Longjohns.
Reebok celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the women’s footwear collections, the Freestyle, “Then and Now�?…Freestyle Forever. Freestyle is a women’s athletic shoe style that was introduced back in 1982, it was designed for the use of aerobic exercise. The shoe quickly became a fitness craze and spreaded to walking, bodybuilding, dancing and cheerleading, but women are also wearing it outside the gym for casual wear. It is an iconic shoe in the 1980s and to this day it is still released in a variety of colors with many followers. Not only do women wear it, but I also see men wear these, I still remember seeing women pair these with skinny jeans, tights, leggings and leg warmers! And in the 90s girls that own Freestyles had every colorway to match their polos. Do any of you guys own a pair?
