Bow Tie Necklace

Leather and gold with militaristic essences are the elements which makes Baptiste Viry’s Spring Summer 2010 “Social Signs” accessories collection. Formally working for Hermes before starting his own women’s ready-to-wear collection, Viry knows a thing or two about creating spectacular women’s accessories. Viry’s SS10 accessories lookbook has a feeling of masculinity, history and a sense of rawness exuding through both his pieces and photographs. This rawness is created by Viry’s use of gold and bronze metals against the luxury leathers in shades of brown, black and navy. The bow-tie clip-on necklace combination makes a big comeback for SS10, after previously being seen within Parisian Baptiste Viry’s Fall 09 collection. This time round, nautical inspired printed fabrics – such as polka dots and all over ship illustrations – are used to create these unique bow-ties necklaces. The masculine theme is carried through to the selection of belts in this collection. Taking aspects from the designs of waistcoats –  from the tightening buckle at the back to the faux-slit pockets and gold button-downs – Viry has taken a traditional belt to a whole different level. The ladies at M.I.S.S. adore every piece in this collection, with the awesome photography and styling making us want a piece of Baptiste Viry in our life!

OBEY Fall 2009

The first official day of summer may have just passed but here at M.I.S.S. we’re already looking towards the future – which in this case is fall! OBEY’s given us a little glimpse of what’s to come and we’re already itching to see more. You might remember that M.I.S.S. had a chance to catch up with Erin Wignall, OBEY’S women’s designer, in Las Vegas this past February, where we learned that OBEY’s fall collection will be divided into two themes, Cosmic and Military Nautical. The Cosmic features a color palette of black, white, and grey and draws on inspiration from the 1970s. Military Nautical features a seafaring influence that includes pea coats and nautical stripes.

From the tiny visual taste we were given, it’s obvious that OBEY will be churning out timeless pieces that are sure to be closet staples. The plaid shirt/denim skirt combination is both classic and feminine, with just enough coverage as the summer heat gives way into cool crisp autumn air. The same goes for OBEY’s wrap dress, a flattering silhouette that’s a must-have for any female’s wardrobe.

The rest of OBEY’s fall collection drops at the end of July. You can bet that M.I.S.S. will bring you up-to-date coverage as more images of the collection are released! To shop OBEY’s current collections, check the OBEY online store.
