Japanese artist Takashi Murakami is having a show in at the Gagosian Gallery in London later this month and the lucky bastards at HighSnobiety got to preview it. The sculpture featured on this page is titled “3 Meter Girl.” Check out one more at HS.

To liven up even the simplest outfit this necklace by Joomi Lim catches the eye in a way we find irresistible. Available at Matches. View in detail on the flip, and this is coming from a girl who does not do pink!

Street photographer Tommy Ton has new photos up, captured during men’s fashion week in Milan. We grabbed these pink, fur sandals, which are so perfect they’re bringing tears to our eyes. (Are they Gucci? Someone tell!) Via Style.

We have to give propers to Vans, who lately seem to be making all the right moves when it comes to the ladies. Up until now the focus has largely been great collaborations on shoes, but we’re loving the latest endeavor–for a select group of women, a Milan style night, which will include image consultants plus the very awesome Wah Nails to provide manicures. We assume Wah is responsible for the design shown in the above poster, which, luv the drips over the trademark Vans checker board! Via Shedonism.

New York fashion photographer Julia Chesky snapped the Gucci window recently and got up close and personal with this pair of earthy espadrilles.  It’s a look that doesn’t exactly spring to mind when one things of the slickness that is Gucci, but no matter, somehow they totally work.

Inspired by J.G. Ballard’s “Crash,” the Gemma Slack Spring/Summer 2011 collection features prints by artist Kristin Vicari. Bold graphics are balanced with sleek silhouettes and a few elements of leather creating a unique contrast. On the next page a closer look at the Gemma Slack Spring/Summer 2011 via F.tape.

Love this woman’s style and the way she carries herself, a fierce female who understands the power of pageantry.

We greatly appreciate the multiple-wearing options Sseko Sandals provide, but  mostly the fact that the company  empowers women in Uganda to further their education is what we applaud. Humanitarian aid while it often focuses on giving is even more effective in the long term when it empowers the locals with infrastructures  and skills to survive and thrive. It reminds of the Chinese saying: “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.”  Read more about the Sseko program here. On the next page a closer look at the sandals . Fashion that does good and looks good, we just adore!

We’re totally disregarding the fact that this is a reversible one-piece swimsuit and advocate for rocking the above with a vintage pair of flares or even bell bottom denim. Graffinis   limited edition shadow one piece available at Sugarcookies. View on a model on the flip.

These Vans Hadley Lo kicks were customized with studs and other details by Medievel just for Hellz head designer, Lanie Alabanza. Post-makeover, the shoes have been deemed “Fvckboutin” (inspired obvs to some degree by Louboutins’s studded sneakers)  and they are about as sick as a shoe can be.
