We go from covering the latest in street wear, kicks to high end conceptual fashion like Hartmann NordenHolz, but hey, there are so many dimensions to women and people in general that we can’t really limit ourselves.We like what we like. Wish retailers would get that! 

Anyway, Hartmann Nordenholz is designed by Filip Fiska and Agnes Schorer. I was really drawn to their detailing and aesthetic it seemed vaguely familiar and sure enough Agnes studied under my love of all time Mr.Helmut Lang himself.The clothes are sexy, modern and definitely on the edgy side, with hints of couture whereas the great details .This is not lazy fashion, look at the detail on this top!Check out more lovelies after the jump.

If you are one of these people who once believed that a New Yorker is the Uber Trendsetter you are sooooo Wrong!!

Jeremias,13 and his Sister Jemina ,15

The population of what they call Nordic Countries Iceland ,Norway and Finland,Denmark is waaay ahead of the game ..while we are awed by The Sartorialist,who,I agree has a great eye..Hel-Looks is showing us that we can learn a thing or two… style -wise… scandics(is that even a word?) really go outside the box!

For example Swedish men who I went gaga over  when I was I Stockholm are recognized as some of the most fashion forward men on the planet!

While Most out there are looking to what XYZ mag says is the new" it "Item for what season..Jeremias at 13  is rocking a Fedora that grown men  Stateside are scared to rock…

Long Gone are the days when Williamsburg and the east Village were populated by trendsetters..Where did the edge go???

Even Fashion Students,Waliking By F.I.T recently all I saw was an endless succession of low rise  shorts, sweats,trapeze dresses,leggings,very few  individuals with Flava…

check after the jump for more Flyness whether it’s you or not admit that they go there..and HighSnobette Loves it!!!

Jamin Puech designed by the duo of Isabelle Peuch and Benoit Jamin is  a brand I fell in love with in the Nineties,they are far from the super minimal trends that can sometimes take over fashion. And that works really well for them.Their bags are adorned in a way that gives them a little vintage feel mixed with a sense of DiY, Altough I would shy way from a white handbag,the metal rings give it a Rock and Roll edge that the rocker in me finds tottally Rad!!

look after the jump for more of my faves

Enjoy!

Michael Venker a recent Parsons Fashion Design Graduate is expected to launch in Japan Next Month, He collaborated with The KDU on this  Art/lookbook made of Hand stitched 70 year old linen paper with real 24kt Gold and Platinum details..definitely a keeper!!!..when Michael was asked about who his target customer was here’s what he had to say:

"Someone who wants have a good time, and laughs a lot. My clothing isn’t really form fitting, so it can appeal to a broad range of body types and ages, so it’s more of an attitude thing. I think my customer works and plays hard, and has a blast doing both"-

A man after my own heart!!His name will be on all the fashion radars if they are not already…check  after the jump for more Images…

People, for the first time in my HighSnobette-writing life, I am officially stunned silent. Seriously. I have no words that would adequately describe the awesomeness I feel when I look upon the Chanel manicure featured below.

Major props to Racked for snagging this image from a new Chanel store window. There’s other images at the link of the windows, but I only have eyes for the paint job.

I can stop shopping now.

Love,
