Coup d’etat Brooklyn,a label that really takes the same to say things..gives us a sneak peak at their new designs.Dum MC’s taking the Iconic Run DMC logo and making a stement that too manyMc’s (if we can call them that)have a platform, an audience and sadly nothing relevant to say….

"We get out Power from the Sun",an Hommage to Game Rebellion a band that you need to know but most of all ,but whose energy on stage is phenomenal..If you’re lucky you’ll get to see Netic’s tatoos….

The creative force behind Tokidoki, Simone Legno, is another designer (like Claw $$$ in the previous post) who is giving women’s streetwear its next level propers.

^^This chain wallet is so adorable, it makes me wanna be 25 again (not really, but you know…). It’s newly available on Karmaloop for all of you mademoiselles.

Love you to death,

I know it was announced ages ago  that Claw Money was launching a line of bags, but now you can actually buy them, and they’re gorgeous and beautifully detailed and really fun.

^^This to me epitomizes the next-step direction for women’s streetwear: beautiful detailing, bold color and pattern combinations that all add up to a very energized and stand-out-from-the-pack piece. This aint no Jacob bag, people, and that is a good thing.

(I might be wrong about this but it seems like Karmaloop has a bigger selection of the Claw X Boosted collabos than Claw’s site.)

Since they have Won the Euro08 tournament I have had Spain on my mind and the wonderful accessories worn by Flamenco dancers..

The Jewelry of Raquel Moreno, a native of Spain is very  diverse with subtle details like using two different stones (like above) looking at it gives me  hints of places far away…

Check out after the jump for more of my faves..

I would be lying to you if I said that I love Department stores..although lately….Saks has been really taking risks at least in their womens footwear department..is it the Hot footwear floor they opened a few years back ?or a new Buyer?

I don’t know but when I saw these YSL platforms available for pre-order  I was pleasantly surprised..

I don’t know if it’s because I spent my tween and teens years fighting  not to have  to wear pink flowery dresses with big  bows … But I have a great appreciation for women’s fashion that is edgy, unique with hints of  anything  connected to utilitarian…This collection by Sophie Hulme hits all the right notes… Plus, When does a girl ever get to have a whistle on her jacket?

Check out what S.Hulme had to say about this collection: 

“This concept for this collection is concealed combat, an armouring of womenswear. This is created by integrating traditional military clothing and detailing into luxury garments. Prime examples include, a fully sequinned military parka, jackets armoured with jets and military M65 jacket with a bow tied in the back.The result is a luxury look. It is not military or utility as such but has a hard edge.”-S.Hulme.

A label after my own heart!

If you have a thing for White shoes like Lois  or you happen to be getting married soon…Sergio Rossi just put together a custom line of bridal footwear.

Bridal shoes always lack a little oomph for me but this line with adjustable heel heights and the option to have you and your hubby’s name embroidered  inside..

"John Maedea’s newest design, the Struccess, comes from the Law #9: Failure.  Maeda says, “if you fail, keep trying – struggle to reach some form of success.”

Using three of Reebok’s state-of-the-art technologies, the InstaPump Fury is Professor Maeda’s canvas, and his handwritten code that decorates the shoe’s lining creates puddles of graphics all over the shoe.  With so many parts – from the pump to the carpet fiber to the Hexalite – it’s a whole different animal. 

Only 300 pairs of these electrifying sneakers will be available as of July 2nd for $200 but only a portion will be available on Reebok’s website here in the US"

Another great pair from Mr.Maeda who is one of the most intersting people I ‘ve met in a long time….

they go fast don’t sleep!!
