Enjoy a look at London’s Shao Yen Chen Spring 2011 film, titled “Skin.” Inspired by the human body, the collection plays with concept of the body as clothes, challenging anatomy  by  contrasting textures and volume. Chen, a recent winner of the Fashion Weekend/Le Vif Award in Brussels, 2009, is a name to remember. View some stills of the collection on the flip.

Newly launched Phillip Van de Roq  is a new jewellery collection designed by Pernilla Phillip  under the art direction of stylist and girl about town Decida. The premier collection titled “Artifacts From The Future” blends industrial hardware, military forms, antique ornaments but also leather and modern materials, such as silver clay and paper clay. Lovely and edgy while being casual enough for everyday fabulousness. Check out more pieces on the next page. 

As much as we love the big names in fashion, the newcomers hold a dear place in our heart . Jara Rodiguez, a graduate  from the Felicidad Duce School in Barcelona, is on our ones to watch list. Enjoy.

Exclusively available at ln-cc is the Autumn/Winter 2010 collection of Central Saint Martins alum Tze Goh. Using only white, the collection deconstructs the idea of the tee- shirt by molding  and layering fabrics. We’ve always loved the idea of winter white, and this collection has the bonus of a very modern urban feel that we just could not ignore. Take a closer look ar Tze Goh’s collection on the next page and enjoy  his q&a with John Skelton.

Somehow we missed the intense fabulousness that was the Laquan Smith Spring 2011 show, entitled “A Storybook Path,” but thankfully our sisters in crime at 2BD did not. Thus we can bring this shot of super stunner Cassie, who walked the show, flashing her 3-D mani. Look on the next page for close-ups on nail art that includes–oh.my.goodness–a mini Eiffel Tower!! Gun us down with no mercy why don’t you, Laquan!

Unique shapes with a flawless manipulation of leather, Arnoldo & Battois  is an accessory label to watch as they simply create magic with leather.On the next page a closer look at their latest Spring/ Summer 2011 collection. Spotted in mf.

Enjoy a look at NYC’s Eighteenth clothing, a collection based in the idea of decostructing the basic tee-shirt into sexy, stylish options. We’re smitten with all of them. More on the next page.

 If graffiti were to become fashion, I imagine it looking  like Alexis Reyna’s Spring 2011 collection, which mixed color and texture to create a very unique collection entitled “Unleashed,”  anchored on dramatic paint splattered bodies. Always marching to the beat of his own drum, he of course closes his show in his underpants ( no comment). Enjoy a complete look at Alexis Reyna Spring/Summer 2011 on the next page. Via Vogue Spain.

In apparel choices the thought of a bolero is never one that would keep me up at night. However , the drama of this one by Rachel Freire gets me to a place where I actually consider the bolero.Available at njalshop. View the bolder option on the next page.

Spotted on the very lovely Ma Frangine  is the clever  Hexapelerine shrug  by Lisa Shahno, “based on the hexaflexagon, discovered in 1939 by Arthur H. Stone.” Needless to say, this is a “where did you get that?” show-stopper piece . Yes I want one! More views on the flip.
