K11 Art Mall, located in Hong Kong has kicked off a collaborative art project with designs of one of our long-time faves, Simone Legno of Tokidoki. The exhibit includes two massive sculptures (”Caeser” is shown above and “Kiko” is after the flip), plus a pop-up shop, including iphone accessories, tote bags and umbrellas. Massive cuteness!

And btw, if you follow Tokidoki you know the brand has had a very successful collaboration with Sephora, and Simone mentions in his email to us that he has something in the works with Sephora for FNO so stay tuned!

We love everything about conceptual jewellery as its application in ‘”real life” can be seen as irrelevant. Inciting curiosity and wonder, challenging the notions of adornment,  this weapon-like finger clip (two shown in above image) by Dilan Walpola   stands as unique. Though on a side note, we think it would have worked better as one piece–omitting the spike in the back of the hand.  To see what we mean look on the flip to see the back side.  Available for  purchase at Oliveshoppe.

Take a look at a piece from the masterful Helmut Newton. #Fierce.

Grace Jones’  first album in 22 years, titled “Hurricane”  (first released in 2008) will be re -released in a dub version remixed by Ivor Guest, available  in early September. We had to share the stunning cover  styled by the legendary Jean Paul Goude. The album is available for pre-order here.

September issues are big business in fashion media. A symbol of getting back to the grind and looking ahead at winter and holidays style  they’re an opportunity for making bold statements not to mention filling pages with lots of ads. New York Times T magazine this September features the amazing Esperanza Spalding and we’re pretty stoked about it. The idea of magazine covers with actresses, pop stars and the occasional athlete or politician is limiting when we all know there are noteworthy women of style everywhere.

If like us you’ve lusted after a piece of Jordan Betten’s art  work, you can now  own a piece that you can wear. The Lost Art tees  featuring  handpainted  graphics(tribesman and warrior  are  faves) are available here.

The on point Haus of Lacquer partnered with Queens  boutique to delight the Snobettes with the first installement of Highsnobette Nail Art,” a testament to our longtime  features of stunning  nail art. All we can is Fierce! More on the flip.

Agnès b. used to be the at the forefront of my  classic sartorial desires when I perused through my mom’s issues of Femme Actuelle. Over the years while the brand kept its chic and quality, its visibility and popularity  in the states became more about those in the know than major commercial pushes. Gladly for the past couple of year Agnès b. has been expanding their horizons by opening a Soho location . The tank above was created by Krink to celebrate the opening of the very art friendly Howard Street store space.

 Nothing much to say about Duncan Stevens’ ear cuff except that it’s a thing of beauty…the “wow” inducing kind. Available at Njal. See it up close on the flip.
