Here is the second single, “I Follow Rivers” from Swedish singer Lykke Li’s album, Wounded Rhymes. The video starts out like an episode of “I Shouldn’t Be Alive,” and when Li enters, the image of her running through the snow in heels feels almost comical (and brings to mind Rodarte somehow), and then it’s like, oh no, funny because it’s true and wow, doesn’t THAT relationship dynamic looks familiar!

It’s great how guys are getting into and enjoying fashion more, and yes, because of that, there are dudes (well, more dudes now….there have always been the natural born badasses for whom any look works) who could totally pull off the poncho look. But come on, even if this Billionaire Boys Club “Blastivo” poncho looks amazing on your guy, if it shows up in his wardrobe, it’s a total co-opt and takeover situation. Like, sorry, but that now belongs to me. I hope you enjoyed it the two times you wore it, and thanks very much.Via HS.
For all you Black Swan fan lovers who come to the film via its association with Rodarte, you can now buy a souvenir tee shirt done in collaboration with Lula magazine. Whether it’s capable of soothing the anger over the Mulleavy sisters being double snubbed for their contributions to the movie is quote another story.Via Colette.

In an effort to highlight its Spring 2011 offerings, MiuMiu is presenting its looks in a series of films called “The MiuMiu Women’s Tales.” All will be directed by women, with the first of the series by Zoe Cassavetes, whose short is called “The Powder Room,” set in London’s Claridges Hotel. Featured models are Audrey Marnay, Caroline de Maigret, Line Gost and Sophie Vlaming. The setting is a powder room, aka a meetin’ in the ladies room….the mysterious lair of the womanly, where all manner of secrets and lies are whispered not to mention applied to one’s face! And therein lies the allure of all things Miucca–the celebration of feminine beauty and mystery by a woman who experiences its power daily. Stills from the film via MiuMiu on the next page.
Via WWD: New York-based designer Rachel Roy has partnered with pro surfer Karina Petroni to roll out a capsule collection of Baja-print footwear for summer 2011. The line is comprised of a sneaker, wedge and flat espadrille detailed in bright, woven fabric.
“Growing up in Monterey, Calif., I was exposed to surf culture every single day, so partnering with Karina, the highest-ranked American East Coast female pro surfer, felt like a good fit,” Roy said, noting the collection blends her urban design sensibility and Petroni’s Panamanian heritage. “We settled on the Baja print [because] it reminds me of the surfers I was around growing up, and for her, it was authentic to the local artisans where she grew up.”
Priced at $50 for the slide, $99 for the high-top sneaker and $139 for the wedge, the collection is expected to sell at select Macy’s locations nationwide.
