Pitch Control also reps for Girls Love Shoes, a Lower-East-Side vintage shoe store that is home to 300 or so pairs of some of the most fabulous footwear on the planet. Which is why it’s a known shopping hotspot for big-name designers who come in search of “inspiration” for their own designs.

^^If you show up at an event wearing these festive little party favors, how many other women do you think will be wearing the same pair? That’s right. Exactly zero.

We weren’t allowed to photograph any of the pieces in MadeMe’s fall 2008 collection, but we managed to snap a glimpse of the collection just to give all the fans a taste:

^^Updated versions of the leather jackets will be back (Did you know that Alicia Keyes wore one in her “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” video?), along with some flannel tops. The line also includes a James Blagdon collabo. According to Shana, the line is tres French-inspired!

Sincerely yours,

The associations in my mind can be all over the place. In many ways it’s what happens when you watch too much Style with Elsa Clench and the A team!  I was always fascinated by MR.T and his ability to wear sooo much gold. While I have been known to pile on the jewels…Little did I know that Givenchy was going to give me the ability to rock one piece and create the same effect.

The Givenchy Fall 08 collections is by far a favorite. The lines are clean  and the detailing is amazing. Blouses and leather pants, sharp, are just some of the many amazing highlights. Kudos to Mr. Tisci!!!

*Givenchy Multi-Strand Necklace= Bling Heaven!!!

Erykah performed at the Fox Theater in support of her recent record release. Not sure how I feel about the dress. Maybe I’d like it more in a cocktail-drinking type setting.

Ideeli is this new, membership-only shopping club for women who like designer stuff. The site offers designer bags and accessories at a big discount, but you have to be a member to get its emails. I’m not sure if you have to pay to be a member because I found about the site because JCReport sent me an email saying that its members could join free. So I did.  

^^This Christian Lacroix bag will be coming up for sale soon.

The item of the day arrived early today. Once again, one of our amazing readers hipped me up to a line that I definitely should have known about, but pathetically did not. This tip comes from Em, who let me us know that M.I.A. has a sister, Kari Arulpragasam, who does a jewelry line called Super Fertile.

Let me not lie and admit that when I first read about the line, I figured it would likely be a bust. After all, how much creativity can any one family claim?? But as soon as I saw the images, I was stunned and amazed. Kari is as talented at making jewelry as her sister is at making music.

^^I think that’s Sudan on the left and Iraq on the right. I love how she doesn’t disappear women who wear veils. They are right there in the mix, representing.

More images, including earrings on the other side…

Now the other news Em imparted is that M.I.A.has started her own clothing line. Love the woman, but I don’t know about that move. Besides the rag trade being a total grind, when musicians and actresses launch brands, the outcome is akin to athletes who try to be rappers….aka not positive!

Welcome back to another week!

If you didn’t get to go to the Sweet City Woman art show, which featured six female artists, you can still see what it looked like at TooFly’s site. Here’s one image from her section of the show:

The opening’s done, but the exhibit will run through May 31st. at Fuse Gallery: 93 2nd Avenue between 5th & 6th Street.

While doing some browsing on Karmaloop the other day, this Insight Transformer bag caught my eye. Maybe it’s ’cause I’m just back from a trip to Guatamala and something about the pattern had me remembering the trip or maybe I appreciate its multi-functionalality, whatever the reason, I just like it.

^^A really unique weekend/beach bag that’s eye-catching without being too girly.

^^Close up on the fabric. See, it’s kind of different–a combo of modern and traditional

A couple more versions of the bag after the flip….
