Last week we attended the Grand Opening of Aloha Rag NY and Hysteric Glamour Trunk Show and it was a great time.  Aloha Rag is a boutique with a beautifully edited selection of clothing, jewelery, glasses handbags and shoes for men and women.  The boutique has a very simple gallery style setting of white walls with neon arches of color that fall into literal splats of color with brands names in each splat (Hysteric Glamour in pink pictured above).  I really liked the way the boutique was set up and the simplicity of white with pops of color really let the impeccable array of products shine.  They carry brands including Hysteric Glamour, Rogan, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Kitsune, Ksubi, and Linda Farrow Luxe.  While we were there we had the chance to meet Motoko Calloway from Hysteric Glamour (pictured below).  Afterward, we went next door to Don Hill’s for some celebratory hors d’oeuvres and cocktails.  The best part though?  The Hysteric Glamour tote bags!

2007 has been a big year for French music. Daft Punk, Ed Banger and crew, Uffie, and Justice all revitalized good ol’ house music in the U.S. crowding dance floors in clubs nationwide. And this “movement� shows no signs of stopping with the official stateside debut by French music/fashion/design collective Kitsune. Kitsune had already released 3 compilations of French electro dance music in Europe before releasing Maison 4 and Maison 5 this year in the U.S..

Kitsune 3, 4, and 5 are available now at Turntable Lab. Pick up a copy now and you are guaranteed to keep warm this winter with all the dancing you’ll be doing : )
