We’ve already gushed over these Gucci velvet sandals and now we gush again. But wait, there’s more! After the flip, a taste of the Italian luxury brand’s Spring accessory offerings, which include sandals, clutches and bags so rich you’ll want to roll around in them like rose petals on satin sheets. Via Style.
For a piece of furniture you can carry around, Anne Lorenz created the “Home Traveller,”a big bag that doubles as storage. While I wonder how feasible it is to carry it around, it’s definitely a conversation piece. More views on the flip via Designboom.
Nicki Minaj is in the U.K. hustling her Pink Friday album and here we have images of her delivering for all her London Barbz in an amazing pink print catsuit (actually it’s a jacket with leggings–see below), highlighted by pink high heel pumps and sky-high hair, which has been described as reminding of everyone from Marge Simpson and Gumby to Kid ’N Play! We want to know the designer behind the suit….someone tell! [UPDATE: Excellent commenter, Alee, tells us the catsuit and jacket are Cassette Playa, specifically a "Blood Diamond" camo digital print bomber jacket and leggings, and the shoes are Walter Steigner! Love how close Nicki's ear is to the world of streetstyle!] After the flip, a video of her going from the hotel to the street in the same outfit. Check out her adorable stylist whisking off her jacket just before they get in the elevator–too fab! Images via Justjared.
Nightlife experiences in New York City can be the stuff of dreams on a good night. Great music, sexy crowd and a whole lot of fun. We Are Not Pilgrims in its “Gatekeepers Series” present us the outlook of nightlife via The Chad and Sneed, two dapper NYC doormen who have no restraint in sharing their thoughts on everything from why you did not get into the club (not that the snobs can relate) to crazy stories and our fave, the female fashion faux pas. Enjoy!
Our friends at U.K.-based WAH nails have created a nail art collection (painted by hand!), showcasing the prints featured on the Spring 2011 runways. And it’s a contest, too! The first one to email Wah-Nails at Nailsdone@WAH-Nails.com with all 18 designs correctly identified wins a prize. Slight catch–you have to go to WAH’s London location to collect. And don’t worry about me as competition, while I post these collections all.day.long, I’ve identified exactly ONE!
The Balmain collection that irritated the heck out of NY Times fashion editor Cathy Horyn is now on sale on the label’s site. Looking at it with fresh eyes, all the motorcycle jackets and straight-legged jeans do seem a tad dated, but then again, there’s something decadently appealing about the way the label combines the ultimate casual looks with luxury workmanship as epitomized by the denim shorts on this page. And the Balmain customer seems to agree…a lot of the collection is sold out. That’s what’s weird about the instant reaction to runway shows–it’s sometimes hard to separate the sensational zeitgeist moment, which journalism demands, versus the actual clothes themselves, not to mention the customer who they’re designed to appeal to.
Available in a few weeks, we get a closer look at MAC Cosmetics Wonder Woman Collection, which the snobs are thoroughly enthused about.Yes we kind of like make-up, but also because every woman needs to remember that she bears a power that makes her in more ways than one ‘”Wonder-ful”! MAC Wonder Woman launches on February 10th, and will be available through mid April. Close-ups on the flip and lots more via Misscrew.
