If there was to ever be a Rodarte official  fan club I would have to be in it!

Thanks to Expose ny we had the opportunity to preview Sally Lapointe & Sarah Adelson’s   S.LOVE  collection. The concept of S.LOVE is to create artistically driven pieces where each piece is rendered unique by an un -replicated   hand made process. For their 2009 Collection  S.LOVE chose a dark color palette  of black that gently fades into purple and white which we love ! With a sleek and edgy sensibility we can definitely see this young label in the assortment of HighSnobette favorites like Oak,  Opening Ceremony, Shopbob, 80spurple and Forward. On the next page a closer look at our favorite pieces from S.LOVE.

When we were invited to visit the new Tommy Hilfiger store on fifth avenue , in NYC . I was very curious to see what this brand who made a killing in the nineties would translate their aesthetic in a 4 floor retail space of 22,000 square feet. The result is impressive. Having had a xtensive background in visual merchandising i found myself in awe of all the themes developed in each floor and of course it’s flawless execution by Trent Wisehart and his team. I have always thought that the Tommy Hilfiger label was always in delicate spot in the market as their theme of “Americana “can be  identified with  at least two other brands I can think of.

The  Tommy Hilfiger  global flagship is a  step in a bold new  direction, and we cannot wait to see how the brand will progress going forward, because  we all know it takes more than a hot store to build a brand that will stand the test of time and  fickle trends. A closer look at the store on the next page.

There ’s an ethereal quality to the Preen Spring/Summer 2010 Collection that is very appealing . The use of lace, that we’ve seen a pop of , here and there makes the pieces sexier and even lingerie like while never being frilly, something yours truly can  cangladly appreciate.
