Collab Alert :: Nike x Riccardo Tisci



February 11, 2014

nike-riccardo-tisci

Air Force 1s making a comeback? Givenchy designer/creative director and Kimye BFF Riccardo Tisci is doing his part to make sure that happens with his upcoming collaboration with Nike. The line will be called Nike RT (RT for Riccardo Tisci) with a launch date of March 1st. The initial launch will feature the kicks in a white colorway and a black version will follow on April 1st.

Riccardo Tisci x Nike Joan Smalls

Vogue spoke with Tisci about the collaboration for their February 2014 issue which is on stands now. A preview from the mag shows Joan Smalls (obsessed with her!) draped over Riccardo’s shoulders showcasing what we can expect from the collection. I love how creative the shot is and love the hair & makeup on Joan. Can we say beat?

“The shoe is universal yet somehow very personal,” said Tisci. “I travel all over the world, and I see people wearing the Air Force 1, and they wear it in so many different ways. And so I was thinking, what is the essence of the Air Force 1? And how do I take that essence and make my own statement? For me the Air Force 1 is not about gender, it’s not about a particular city, nor is it about a certain style. The community decides. It’s democratic. It’s love.”

Luckily for AF1 aficionados, Vogue describes the collection as staying “true to the cool urban roots of the original”. I’m loving the revamp of this classic that was so hot in the early 2000’s.  Maybe we can get Nelly and Paul Wall to do a remix? Actually considering snapping up a pair of these high-fashion Air Force 1s. Hopefully the sneakerheads will be out in full force to support this collab.

The Clash.



April 4, 2013

I happened to fall in love with a pair of shoes today. I guess you could say that shoes are my “thing”, but then clothes and handbags would be my “thing” too. Once I saw these Sergio Rossi wedges I instantly had to have them, well if I had an extra $1,300 lying around.

Meet ‘Clash’, a geometric pattern wedge from the Radical Pattern story in the Sergio Rossi Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

I love the classic color palette of yellow, black, and white. But what makes it fun is the hammered brass on the back heel that adds another dimension. A cute wedge is crucial for the spring and this one can dress up an outfit of boyfriend jeans and a worn in tee so easily. You can see the silhouette of a pump in the heel which is a nice twist. Pairing this wedge with a sexy black dress or jumpsuit would be a fun option for date night. Lots of ways to wear this wedge, definitely wishing I could add it to my closet. (even though room for a new pair of shoes is non-existent)

If you want to add ‘Clash’ to your closet, get them here.

Victoria Beckham Debuts New Eyewear Collection.



August 7, 2012

Victoria Beckham has added another category to her ever-growing brand. The pop-diva turned fashion designer has created a line of eyewear in collaboration with the London-based bespoke frame maker Cutler and Gross. The optical line was inspired by necessity as she told WWD, ‘I do need to wear glasses but I haven’t found glasses that suit me or that I particularly like. I’ve always been quite self-conscious, so that’s why I’ve decided to do them myself.’ We’ve always seen VB in her standard over-sized sunnies, especially since launching her own collection of sunglasses in 2009. She loves wearing her own designs so it will be nice to see her wear this new line.

The collection will feature six different styles, each offered in three colors. The shapes range from feminine to unisex frames, including the heavy square-rimmed pair that both Victoria and her soccer-player husband, David Beckham, wear. The frames will be handmade in Italy, featuring a “V” on the tips and pearl-oyster interior lining. One of these luxe frames will cost you between $410-$530. No word on what US retailers will be carrying the collection once it’s available in January. Hopefully it’s Neiman Marcus!

Haute Obession. Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Studded No-heel Bootie.



July 23, 2012

I was dreading going through my inbox this morning when I stumbled upon this beauty. OMG. Is this not an amazing piece of work? I nearly fell out of my chair when I opened the email from Bergdorf Goodman that featured this amazing shoe. I’m not typically a fan of extreme spikes but these just work. The heel-less style with the multi-tone crystals and well-placed spikes come together for a killer design. These are just one of the heel-less offerings from the Fall/Winter 2013 collection from Giuseppe Zanotti.

Only two requirements for those who want to wear these shoes: a bad-ass outfit and good balance.

Get these bad boys at Neiman Marcus for $2950 and more show-stoppers at Bergdorf Goodman.

25 Days of Christmas — Day 8.



December 8, 2011

So excited about this one! When one door closes, another opens right?

Swirl.com where I scored so many great deals on brands like American Apparel and Winter Kate, decided to merge with it’s parent company Daily Candy. As crushed as I was that my fave sale site was closing up shop, I actually clicked around on Daily Candy to see if I could still grab some fashion deals. The format is different and hard to shop for apparel, but I did find a deal that I would like to cash in on…

Day 8. A new pair of glasses.

I bought my current pair of glasses around freshman year of college, 5 years ago actually. So…I definitely think it’s time for a new pair. Interesting frames are so trendy right now and I am into it. I don’t wear glasses on a regular basis so why not get something funky? While clicking around on Daily Candy I found a deal for Lookmatic.

Lookmatic is a new site that offers cool frames for sunglasses and prescription eye wear. All glasses with prescription lenses are only $88. Such a steal for such cute frames. All sunglasses and frames without prescription lenses are just $58. They really have a great selection too with unique frames and colorful options. They also have a virtual try-on where you can upload or take a picture of yourself and see how the different frames would look on your face. It’s actually pretty neat to play around with and see how different styles look. Once you make a purchase shipping is free and returns are free too!

The best part is the deal on Daily Candy. Instead of $88 for frames, you can get them for $44 until December 19th. No way I can pass this up. I’ll post once my new frames come in!

Options I’m loving:

Abby in Tortoise.

 

Jesse in Red.

 

Marylin in Tortoise.

 

 

Which pair should I get?

Haute Obession. Candy Colored Hermès Birkin.



September 17, 2011

One hot bag that popped up this summer was the candy color Hermès Birkin bag. These iconic status bags will cost a pretty penny though. They range from $5,000 at the low end to over $50,000 depending on the type of materials used. The highest-quality leather is used in the bags and usually go up to about $8,000 depending on size. The most expensive bags use rare ostrich and crocodile skins. The Hermès Birkin is so special because it is hand-made of the finest materials. The stitching is impeccable and the sturdy hardware can last a lifetime if the bag is kept in good care.

Neon colors were popular this spring and summer and will continue to be the hot hues going into next spring. Many celebrites (especially the Kardashian sisters) have been spotted carrying these bags. Check out the pics below. I’m obsessed!

Khloe Kardashian with sister Kim Kardashian. Lime Birkin.

Kourtney Kardashian && cute baby Mason. Orange Birkin.

Singer Cassie in NYC. Turquoise Birkin.

Khloe Kardashian. Purple Birkin (anniversary present from hubby Lamar Odom).

Kim Kardashian. Lime (kiwi) Birkin.

Would You Rock? ‘Kanye West in Trussardi 1911 Fringe Sneakers’ Edition.



July 5, 2011

Kanye West performed this weekend at the annual Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana. He wore a white Balmain shawl collar blazer, jeans, and Trussardi 1911 fringe sneakers.

The black suede sneakers are from the Trussardi 1911 Fall/Winter 2010 collection. Trussardi 1911 is a luxury line that features both menswear and womens’ wear. All of the apparel and footwear is of the finest quality and 100% made in Italy. Launched as a capsule collection in 2008, the brand has steadily grown and gained awareness. The sneakers are from last fall and might run you a cool $550-$600, if you can find them. Kanye is such a trendsetter though, we might see some replicas pop up for the upcoming fall season.

Question is…would you rock??
