A few months back ew featured the Lee Cooper project 100 below is a peak at what the festivities were like and above  are a few pieces of the collab with Giles Deacon and Lee Cooper for his Spring 09 line! 

"Predicted to be the ‘feel good’ event of the week, the Project 100 auction opened Paris fashion week on Monday 29 September at the prestigious Drouot Montaigne auction house. The auction of 40 exclusive collaborations raised funds for the Red Cross and Designers against AIDS charities.

The auction was part of Lee Cooper’s centennial celebrations and a fitting tribute to a year worth of collaborations, sweat, tears, cajoling, hard-work and above all else, creativity and charity.

Busy from the offset, the crowd continued to grow and fuelled by copious amounts of flowing champagne served by Lou Doillon clad glamour girls, the auction began, slightly behind schedule (in true fashion week style) with a winning bid of 1000 euros for the Adriana Karembeu & Maison Massaro shoes. As expected, the Giles Deacon Tomi dress reached a more than honourable bid, 1800 euros. Some of the pieces sold for an impressive price were the Marshall Amplifier reaching 3000 euros and the JC de Castelbajac teddy bear sofa finally going under the hammer for a whopping 4500euros. The Land Rover fetched the highest price of the night. A ‘mystery’ bidder offered 27,000 euros without realizing her bid was final and as a result, she might be working a lot of overtime in the Lee Cooper marketing department.

Following the auction, the happy crowd made its way to les Bains Douches where the party really kicked off around midnight with fashionable party-goers queuing to have their photos taken and generally hanging about with many of the collaborators, Dino Dinco, Jeff Rutten, Bruno from WAD, Shuck One and Jean Charles de Castelbajac. The whole night drew to a close at 4am in the morning with everyone feeling slightly worse for wear and a little bit poorer – all in the name of a good cause."

Last week we were Invited to preview the Spring 09 Collection for Bluenotch denim. I takes alot to impress me in the field of denim as there are way too many brands out there…

Nevertheless, Bluenotch started by the husband and wife team,presented a collection inspired by  Light & Luminosity.

As you will see on the next  page the hues all resonate with a certain contrast of light and dark,emphasized by the lightness of the  denim.Making them a perfect choice for when you want to wear denim without the weight.I really appreciated  the consistency from the men’s line to the women’s line the colors scheme was the same , the details on the apparel and of course the incredible softness of the fabrics…

More of the first M.O.B. cut-and-sewn collection is now hitting stores. Just now Cultist sent over some images of M.O.B.’s fresh fall collection, which includes leggings, cropped bomber jackets and tees. Don’t nap, huns, because the stuff you like the most? Everyone else does, too, and before you know it, it’ll be gone, baby, gone.

^^Nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest…

See how this bomber looks on the inside on the other side. Hint: The lining isn’t black.

Where on earth have you been, Ma??? ‘Cause we have MISSED your funky self. Damn. It better not be about that man of yours not treating your right ’cause if that’s the case then we have some instant ish with him. We don’t care HOW cute he is–ladies first!

^^Appearing at some vodka event with a bunch of other rappers. Pharrell was there. You can see his new look after the flip. That’s where you’ll also find out whether or not Kelis’ hubby was there with her.

Style has up its fave shoes, bags and accessories from the French and Italian shows. These Louies were my fave of the faves:

^^Bad-ass, yet still flirty. A combo I love.

I’m very picky about trenchcoats, sometime by wanting to be "original " alot of brands overkill the whole design, The RADCLIFFE denim brand designed by Suzy Radcliffe and Hunter Collaboration is an example of what a classic/versatile trench should look like,close fitting so you don’t dissapear,well tailored and with minor details so you can rock it all the time day or night…all you need is a belt change for night… only 1000 coats were made!

Happy Friday!

There’s a bunch of delish new items at Oak (though I’m torn by the studded mocassins<—what??), in particular the offerings from Cavern. Take a look at these neat-o leggings, which are grown-up without being soccer-mom-from-the-80s-ish, i.e. they’re sexy as all get out.

There’s a scarf by Cavern on the other side….
