The lovely Ms. Claw Money is now retailing her Spring/Summer 2011 collection of tees, and this time around it’s inspired by easy-breezy beach life, capitalizing on the brand’s laid-back and cool personality. And the claw logo, of course the claw. Claw shot this lookbook, upping the fun ante by posing the model, Lina, against computer-generated backdrops. Because honestly, as close as the beach is to us New Yorkers, how often do we actually get our feet on sand in the summer?? More on the next page.

As bloggers are rising to what can be considered fame, in these parts due to our love of style, individual expression, we had to snap a picture of Mademoiselle Susie Bubble, camera in hand at the Rachel Antonoff presentation this past week (images coming soon). As one fashion insider said “She understands the art of fashion.” The creativity, the glamour and the history that had us fall for fashion in the first place.
As brands are scrambling to get on the blogger train, sadly we find very few who get it and even sadder big companies are handing part of their exposure and heritage to many who might not even know who Lanvin was had it not been for Alber Elbaz’s celebrity affinity status. The beautiful thing though is that with time, the passionate just seamlessly leave the opportunists behind and hopefully Susie Lau will be one of the select few we hope to see and hear about for a very long time. Detailed look of the pretty much flawless outfit on the flip. Images Highsnobette.
Lady Gaga is snapped by Terry Richardson for Purple magazine. She’s rocking a white bodysuit and Hermes bag tagged with the Supreme label–have no idea what that’s about and Hermes collaborating with Supreme seems highly unlikely, but ya never know! In other Gaga news, the first, fuzzy shot of her U.S. Vogue cover have hit the internets and you can spy that here.
BAPE shows us its Spring 2011 lookbook for the “ladies,” as it slowly but surely brings its women’s game back up to speed. Looks range from tomboyish to flirty, with the strength of the line being the sportier styles that better speak to the brand’s street heritage. More on the next page.
All Saints opened their second New York location last night with a music-filled celebration that had us dancing until they turned the lights on. Florence and the Machine’s DJ set won me over. Other highlights were of course the stylish crowd (matching shoes and hose above = fierce) and lo and behold, an appearance by the one and only Camilla Skovgaard! (I shamelessly became a groupie, btw.) While the party was fun, the Meatpacking district as a location I see as a hit, because it much more reflects the brand’s lux edgy chic aesthetic. On the next page a closer look at the festivities and attendees.
IHMDJ (I Hate My Day Job) via The Brooklyn Artist Project has a new tee, which speaks of a special place for some of the world’s most, ahem, beloved: laptop DJs, party photographers and fashion bloggers. According to the website, it can only be purchased at some mysterious “launch event,” which, no doubt features all of the aforementioned folks in heavy attendance.
[UPDATE: The Brooklyn Artist Project launch party & art exhibit, where you can pick up this tee, is this coming Saturday in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. RSVP on the website. And given the locale probably EVERY SINGLE PERSON in attendance will be one of the aforementioned.]
