Here’s more of Onitsuka Tiger’s fall 2008 line. Yesterday we highlighted the Tokidoki collection, but here are some other styles we thought were neat.

^^Stacks and stacks of hightops!

^^These were Samia’s faves. They are slick as all get out.

We also attended a Onitsuka Tiger party last night and got to meet Hokidoki designer Simone Legno, and, well, we were TOTALLY smitten by him so you will be seeing a LOT more of his designs on the site today. (And thank goodness Samia is handling that ’cause I’m struggling this morning thanks to one to many glasses of red wine!)

Hanging in there,

Don’t rest your pretty heads, ladies, Onitsuka Tiger has definitely upped its female sneaker game via a collabo with Italian artist, Tokidoki. Asics showcased all of its line in Soho today and here’s the collabo portion of it . (Shout out to Rachel for the invite and the great tour of the lifestyle line provided by John!!)

^^You know the HighSnobette rules, hightops come first (though we reserve the right to flip on them at a time of our choosing!) Seriously though, these are hot, aren’t they??

^^All the shoes in this line come with a cute lil’, color-coordinated tiger, who’s attached to a flash drive.

^^And the details don’t stop with just the tops of the shoes!

More collabo shoes on the flip

Mwah!

On our recent visit to Prada today Lois and I were in awe of the pants featured in their Spring 08 line.And noticed the fact that they have not been prominently featured in many US  mainstream editorials ..granted it’s still early in the season but the pants are super sleek and dramatically open at the bottom..all you need is a tank top  and some flats and you are Fly..

Check out  the runway video,the pictures Do not do these justice…

Mutya Buena performed at a concert in Belfast yesterday. Whether you’re familiar with her music or not, you can see from these images that Mutya is the kind of woman who’d make the perfect house performer at the HighSnobette Martini Bar (which, admittedly, for now, exists only in our head).

Wanna see more than her beautiful face and mean mani? Here’s a recent video in which she pays homage to B-Boys–including worn-down Shelltoes and Clydes–old school-style! Keep an eye out for her jewel-encrusted pumps AND the the line where she brings the sexy and croons to her B-Boy: “…and keep your Nikes on, you know how we doooooooooo.”

We featured this Collabo Between John Maeda and Reebok  earlier this Month check what Mr. Maeda had to say about his process…and even a little bit about women….

Due to some drama being brought to this site, I had to take down a post or two last week (don’t you wish you know what THAT was about??). One of those posts included the announcement that one of HighSnobette’s fave females, TooFly–whose back we always have, was offering some of the pieces from her recently-launched jewelry line in 14K. So in case you missed the post, here’s a rewind on the image of the necklace:

^^TooFly’s 14K “Love” necklace….it was made in limited quantities and can be purchased at TooFly’s shop.

Eternal love,

Christian Louboutin designs are going to be exhibited at the Fashion Institute of Technology during March 13 – April 19. I’ve given Louie-B some shit for being overly stuck on his whole “trademarked” red heel thing (’cause come on–when you’re at the point where high-paid celebs are wearing the OhDeer! knock-offs ’cause they don’t know better, it is time to move on!), but the truth is the man is a great designer. And the show will be worth a visit not only because a retrospective of Louboutin’s shoes will be fun to look at, but also because FIT will do a great job of showcasing his career highlights. I’ve been to a bunch of their exhibits before and have never been disappointed.

On Monday mornings, great minds think alike!

Pastry celebrated its one-year anniversary on Saturday. Vanessa and Angie baby were there, along with Puffy Sean Diddy and Nelly, plus some other B-list types that always seem to show up to these events.

Give these young women their props. They did what every athletic shoe company has been dragging their feet on–creating a line of sneakers that very specifically and without shame speaks to females.

^^That’s Angie, who so has her Daddy’s personality, on the left, and Vanessa, showing off her new bob, on the right.

^^The profiles are looking better (albeit more Nike-esque) and the color combos with the “Glam” lace hardware are HOT!

Happy Monday, all!
