Often described for what it lacks Haïti is a place where creativity has always been alive and well. It flourishes and grows even in the rubble. The above film  made in collaboration with Donna Karan and David Belle  gives a glimpse of a people who work with their hands, heart and soul. While we’re puzzled with the choice of   Senegalese Youssou N’dour (who we love) for the soundtrack (not  Haitian music?), we hope you are able to enjoy and be inspired!

Flyest First Lady of all times, hands down. Via Mrs-o.

Color filled with a wide variety of fun silhouettes (you cannot beat a floor length khaki colored skirt with a denim/chambray top), we love the new collection by Russia’s Julia Kalmanovich. Enjoy more looks on the flip.

We raised an eyebrow last week at Louis Vuitton’s claim that Angelina Jolie was makeup free in a recently-launched ad campaign (see video above). But whatever, it’s fashion, half of everything is a lie, you get numb to it. The ladies at Jezebel, however, weren’t about to just keep it moving and in the gifted way that only they can did quite the takedown, while also asking some great questions. Here’s a snippit:

“….but now that we’ve studied the associated video carefully — by which we mean that we watched it, and that we have eyes — we are left in no doubt. No doubt whatsoever. They simply do not shoot major international campaigns for luxury brands without professionally applied hair and makeup. This leaves us with only two questions: one, why the fuck did Louis Vuitton tell such a dumb-ass lie about something any customer with half-decent eyesight would be able to disprove?”

Bonus irony points because the campaign is called “Core Values”! Read more at Jezebel.

This might actually be Free People’s July lookbook, but no matter the brand is majorly doubled down in hippy themes days so between June and July we’re talking  about minor variations on a feather-everything theme. Which, did you see that New York Times article covering how all the demand for feathers this year is screwing up supply for fly fishermen??
