When Nixon launched a few years ago , they had my attention due to their smart and fun approach to marketing, the skater vibe  an the fact that their womens watche were not too dainty. Nonetheless I reverted to my snobby  old school watch strandard and kind of forgot about them, until they released a highly exclusive and limited 42-20 at legendary women’s boutique, Henri Bendel. The 42-20 features a genuine white, stingray strap, a diamond encrusted bezel, sapphire crystal and a Swiss Made automatic movement. There are two limited 42-20’s available and on-sale now at the New York City Henri Bendel thru May 11.

‘The fourth issue of Slow and Steady Wins the race is about heather grey sweats. The ubiquitous familiarity of the sweatshirt is reinterpreted in form using its main identities: the heather grey knit fleece, the ribbed edge, eyelet detail, and baggy comfortness’. Needless to say a heather gray sweatshirt gets me every time as the possibilities for interpretation are endless, and aside from jeans and fun sneakers , it’s  a  universal sportswear classic. The Grey Zipper Vest available at Oak. A closer view on the next page.

Aguri Sagimori’s Autumn/ winter 2009 collection can be described as dark edgy or even gothic. But what  really caught my eye was  the fact her clothes hold intricate details  like  lazer detailing,   cut-outs and draping and tailoring that manage to not, make the models look like an avant-garde blob of fabric. via Jfw.
