Jethro Cave: Bad Seed Rising

29 January 2009, 16.32 | Posted in Fashion, Music, celebrity | No comments »

I couldn’t helped but be completely transfixed by this photo (via Jak&Jil) of Jethro Cave, who was modeling during men’s fashion week in Paris.  Some of our readers no doubt remember the days when Jethro’s daddy, Nick, was just about as “it” a rocker as you could get, with his super sexy song “Deanna.” And while there’s nothing like the original, I’d say Jethro is not bad for up-and-coming rock royalty (though he mostly gets slammed in the comments section under image!).

Christian Lacroix Spring 2009 Insane Earrings

Judging from Chris’s Spring 2009 collection, the dude not only has hope (see lack of said hope in previous post on Chanel), but balls the size of Jupiter. If the ship goes down, he’s gonna be the last one standing on the very tippy top of the mast singing his lungs out in something bright and sparkly.
Beyonce saw these and was like, "Daddy, I need to have those--immediatamente!"

Chanel: It’s all in the Details

05 March 2008, 13.59 | Posted in Accessories, Fashion, Shoes | No comments »

With the U.S. economy being half a mess and everone feeling all cautious, it’s not surprising that the runways are pulling back, too (Alexander McQueen’s wealthy-lil-Goth girl show excepted). As such, we’ve been looking, readers, trust me, and we haven’t seen a whole lot from the fall 2008 runways to write about. Sure, the clothes being shown on the French runways are GORGEOUS, but that’s nothing new. This time around the inspiration is all in the details, case in point Chanel:

^^Not sure how I feel about the raincoat, but the two-tone stockings are kick-ass and the way they match up with the shoes is what makes the Chanel name such a hot property on Canal Street.

^^Textured stockings are probably gonna be a big deal this fall, but I just like how arresting this shot is–everything is black but the play of texture, tone and proportion make it amazing.

^^I’m into clutches these days and I like how this one adds some dash to the collection

There’s a couple more shots from the show if you click to the right

Thanks!

Beginning of December Japanese retailer Uniqlo arrived in France and opened its first store in Paris. It’s good seeing Uniqlo expanding outside of Japan. The brand has a great range of basics to offer every season and a great price point.

New York City based women’s wear label Married to the Mob announces its new fall line with the help of legendary French artist Fafi. These portrait sessions shot by photographer Lynnette Astaire are the first in a new series that Married to the Mob will embark on featuring extraordinary women from all over the world. This season features Fafi, a Parisian artist known globally for her colorful and provocative paintings as well as her recent work with Adidas and Le Sportsac featuring her “Fafinette” characters.

After an introduction at hotspot Colette in Paris where both of their brands can be found, Mob founder Leah McSweeney’s decision to feature Fafi for the campaign was a natural fit for Mob, Fafi is a pioneer and trendsetting artist all while balancing work with her husband and son.

Married to the Mob has been at the forefront of the womens streetwear movement  with unique collaborations with brands such as MCM and artists such as legendary graffiti artist Kaws and portrait photographer Lynnette Astaire. These projects have been noted in editorial outlets such as Vogue, Paper, Elle, Jalouse and Complex. In addition to this seasons shoot Leah plans to add Fafi to her growing list of Mob contributing artists in the future.
