The Cassette Society Summer 2009

highsnobette-cassette ss 09

The Cassette Society’s Summer 2009 collection is a bit all over the place. The line isn’t over themed making it hard to nail down just what it is The Cassette Society is trying to project giving it a “I don’t give a F**k” kind of feel. The relatively new line always presents a number of comfortable separates with a young, fresh edge. I’m a fan of their colored denim shorts, jumpers, and warm weather ready cotton dresses.

We featured Miakhanh Bertrand ’s Rebeldnce , last year , as a label we really took a strong liking to. Here is a look at her Spring /Summer 2009 Collection inspired by: “The Island of the Gods-Bali, Where traditional dancers meet international club hoppers.” The shapes are simple and modern, with the bali zipper dress and the square shoulder jacket(above) being  my favorite pieces .  Take a closer look at the women’s Rebeldnce Spring/Summer 2009 Collection on the next page.

Introducing: Jessica Harris ‘Fenech5′

harris cover Introducing: Jessica Harris Fenech5

Jessica Harris was inspired by the character of the famed italian erotic comedy superstar of the 70’s Edwige Fenech and her role in , Evil Thoughts (1976) for her Autumn/Winter 2009 collection. Blurrings the lines between contempoary, vintage and lingerie , the collection is nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

“These complete looks are a revisitation of not only the fashion sense but also the intense feminine sensuality that emanates from the female lead (expressed in the texture and cut of the materials). Something so strong that it could evoke a feverish jealousy similar to the paranoid fantasies of Fenech’s character’s husband in the film. From this comes the collection’s title Fenech 5″.

fertile1 Super Fertile Summer09: The Real Superstars

For her Summer 2009 collection Kali Arulpragasam , the designer behind the very coveted , socially conscious Super Fertile brings our attention to The Real Superstars “The inventors/scientists who shaped our civilisations in a global sense.Who help us evolve and enhance our lives.In the last 70 years we haven’t really paid attention to them. As the celebs from the big screen and the stage are dominating stradom. Demanding appaluse. Let’s stop and think for a second. It is so important to teach/encourage our future generations the importance of inventors. Everything else is a little overrated. So this is by far the most ambitious collection.Narrowed down to the top 10 inventors, only because I had to stop somewhere…”-Kali

Gazelle for Club Monaco

microsite 04 Gazelle for Club Monaco

 

One of my all time favorite’s Club Monaco has partnered with Gazelle to bring you the Royal Gazelle. My taste in bikes has always leaned on the vintage side, needless to say this one is a beauty.

“Founded in 1892, Gazelle was  designed to fuse comfort with style, and functionality with elegance, the bicycle was originally created for the Dutch royal family. Gazelle’s long and illustrious history is not just due to its royal roots. Its evolution, as a bicycle ideally suited for urban transportation, has revolved around technological advancements and aesthetic improvements. Simply put, it’s a bike that’s easy to ride… and even easier to look fabulous on!”

The only bike endorsed by the Royal Dutch family, this bicycle is based off the original model designed in 1892 and is now available here at Club Monaco at the exclusive price of $995.

Atalanta Weller Portrait by Mark Cocksedge

Atalanta Weller, A Passion For Design.

If there is one thing that can get me excited about fashion, it’s the shoes. Not just any generic, run of the mill shoes, but the kind that make you just want to stare in admiration of their design, craftmanship and innovation.

Born in a small town of Gloucestershire England Atalanta Weller, who is now based in Hoxton, was a logical choice for our first feature as her designs for The House of Holland, and her personal projects, perfectly illustrate a kind of footwear creation that elevates shoe design from functionality into art. HighSnobette believes the name of this relative newcomer to the fashion spotlight will be on every tongue, and on the feet of every fashionable female with a taste for the edgy and uncommon.
