We’ve posted about Darkhorse for some time now, but I finally got to meet Andrew, the designer, last week at Slate.  Andrew has designed several solid collections but I can easily say that his was one of the best lines I saw last week.  He’s really bringing it for the ladies with really clever graphics, embellishments and leather jackets.  He’s brought back the beaded tees (yes!) and not only does it look (and sound) amazing, but it’s also a reference to Stevie Wonder and his braids - the shirt reads “Part Time Lover” - clever on so many levels!  He’s also got one of the best “designer” t-shirts I’ve seen - a tee with a caricature of John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Karl Lagerfeld (psssst Andrew, I NEED this shirt).  That’s not all he has for the ladies who know their labels.  There’s more Chanel and Louboutin references.  I’m also a sucker for tromp l’oeil and Darkhorse has a really cute “purse” graphic.  Last but not least, Darkhorse introduces some cut & sew pieces including a Paris hoodie complete with Eiffel Tower zipper pull and buttery soft leather jackets in candy colors and satin linings - I need one of those too.  Check out the craziness after the jump.

80%20′s collection “has come a long way, baby.” I remember when I first heard about the line I was really smitten by the slip-on’s with graphics . For Fall 2008, Ce ce’s gotten all grown and sexy on us. The line definitely has casual shoes for the girl on-the-go, but 80%20’s line has expanded to include boots and heels. The boots come in wedge and heel styles: The wedges seem super comfy and the heels replicate the vintage silhouette in a way that’s nostalgic but still maintains a modern look. They come in all lengths from ankle to over-the-knee. The heels come in basic colors with accents of pop colors and are perfect for day-to-night transitional outfits. The Fall ‘08 collection recently launched and be sure to check out more pics and the video Look Book after the jump.

While we were in Vegas we had a chance to catch-up with Mitra from Blood Is The New Black at the Pool Tradeshow. There were two artist series’ that really stood out from her new line that we really loved. First, were a series of tees of women’s faces illustrated by Kime Buzzelli of Show Pony fame. Second, was a series by Brian Lichtenberg that catered to the high-fashion lovers amongst us with tees that declared “RIP YSL,” a tromp l’oeil motorcycle vest with Karl on it, and a tee that featured Balenciaga cult favorite shoes. I’m really excited for the launch of these tees and think I need to get some for myself! Check out the rest of the pictures of the tees and the Blood Is The New Black mood board after the jump.

Ill Parcel, the makers of the infamous Boombox Bag have updated the style to actually include functioning speakers.  Just plug in your iPod or mp3 player, and boom-chicka-boom-boom you’re ghetto blaster is playin’ your tunes.  The bags design has been updated and looks more realistic to me.  The Boomboxes come in several sizes, and varieties including small radio, box radio, combo turntable/cassette player, and small “tape” pouch.

In addition to the Boombox bags, Ill Parcel has a fun collection of bags and small accessories with houndstooth and animal print patterns on a backdrop of fuchsia and turquoise (M.I.S.S. favorites!).  The collection is rounded out with the “undies” cases.  I love all of the bags and accessories and could see myself using all of the pieces.  The pieces are part of the Fall ‘09  collection and can be found at Ill Parcel retailers.  Check out more pics after the jump.

San Francisco based Nooworks‘ Fall 08 Collection is called Romanced By Horror and is inspired by “70s horror films, camping trips gone bad, zombies, werewolves and motorcycles.” The line has grown to include cut & sew in addition to t-shirts and has some really cute plaid pieces in M.I.S.S. favorite colors purple and red. The line also includes amazing accessories including handbags (complete with zombie zipper pulls and lining!), enamel charm necklaces, and sunglasses. Our favorite accessory is one she produced in conjunction with the O.G. U.S.A. Pencil Box Company - you know the ones - we all kept our pencils in ‘em back in the grade school days! Check out the pics after the jump.

California-based Los Angeles TC has created a line of the most comfy cozy tees. The styles are really unique and come in super-long varieties (sleeve and bodice) and even reversible styles with different graphics on each side (see below). Many of the styles and graphics were inspired by vintage tees, for example, tees with “Baby 89″ printed on them. They also make these really cool bags out of vintage hunting jackets from the 1940’s. Check out the rest of the pictures after the jump.

One of the booths that we were most excited to stop and see was LeSportsac. We love LeSportsac and we were so excited to see what new goodies they have lined up for Spring/Summer 2009. LeSportsac was founded in 1974 and, since some time has passed, the brand is preparing itself for a new generation of loyal fans. They’re offering more prints, more silhouettes and more options in exclusivity and price-point. Some new silhouettes they’ve added is a yoga mat bag (my prayers answered!), laptop cases and covers, totes, belt bags and cosmetics bags. In addition to lots of new prints, LeSportsac is coming out with patents for those of us that like our bags shiny.

Back in February we gave you a first glimpse of the Melissa Shoes x Vivienne Westwood collection and this time around we have sneak peaks of their Spring 2009 collection. The Vivienne Westwood collaborative series has expanded to include more styles - my very favorite is the “Lady Dragon” an open-toe sling-back with detachable heart (pictured below). All of the styles come in a rainbow assortment of fruity colors to go with any ensemble. Another new style is the “Three Staps” a gladiator sandal with, you guessed it, 3 straps. They are also re-issuing the Mary Jane II and the Ultragirl II - we’ve already posted about those styles and you can view them here. I absolutely love the matte black Ultragirl II - so chic! There are also two amazing new styles done in collaboration with Alexandre Herchcovitch - check out all the pics after the jump!  The styles start shipping in December and will be available on RevolveClothing.com.
