With Dior adding a statue reminiscent of the "Venus Hottentote" as a heel to a sandal I can say that we are living some of the most exciting times in accessories, with alot of design houses creating pieces that are if anything museum worthy!

I just got back from my midtown treck to H&M and I have to applaud the retail staff  for having fully recovered by lunch-time,you would have no idea it was a mob scene 3 hours ago.Aside from the launch the store on 51st was relatively quiet.

The line had alot of what I would call  "fillers " like  button down shirts , trench coats and crew neck sweaters (there’s still a plethora available on 51street). That had no other detail than a CDG and H&M label.I really wanted to see some interesting stiching , lining or even an interesting choice of buttons .

The good thing tough Is that most of the pieces usually get returned and end up on the sale rack like the Viktor and Rolf Tuxedo pants I scored for 20 bucks! So if you missed out fret not ,just give it a couple of days…

Edun just made their complete " nocturne" line  available on their online store.Great selection of dresses and tees which I love!

The Comme Des Garcons and H&M collabo launched a few hours ago and as predicted everyone went for the polkadots! Racked has a nice play by play of the scene.All the locations are uptown this year ,putting my midtown phobia to the test.You can see the full coverage here.

Hyde S.K designed by Sacha Knight started out as a leather focused line.Over time the line has evolved to include vegan leather(above)as well as recycled materials. what I like most about her bags are the little charms and details that look like they were customised by their owners.

Obey partnered with artist Mike Kershnar on a line of tees releasing in a few weeks.The tees reflect Mike Kershnar’s  inspiration  taken from north american Wildlife ,for a look that is a little nostalgic and even vintage which I like alot!
