Full Look: Thakoon for Target

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 11:00:38 +0000

We’ve all got a lil excited when we saw the first look of the Thakoon for Target collection last month. The wait is over, now here’s a look at the full collection of women’s swimwear and apparel which is slated to release on December 28, 2008 through the month of January 2009 at Target stores and target.com/go. Thanks to reader Sheba for the tip.

“Thakoon for Target provides a contemporary take on classic resort must-haves for the GO International program with stunning graphic prints and a colorful palette. A blue and white shibori print and yellow and green large floral pattern update basic tees and tunics, providing a younger vibe for the breezy season. A signature diagonal stripe in blue and green is found throughout the collection and adorns a belted, blousy A-line dress, giving a refreshing edge to a relaxed silhouette. A short-sleeve hip-length cardigan in gray makes it easy to pull off the layered look; a stylish topper over a shibori print tee and black cropped pants. Swimwear in bright hues looks chic worn with a coordinating tunic in a matching print; a true statement poolside. Ranging in price from $16.99 - $44.99, the line includes a variety of seasonal staples including flutter sleeve tees, ruffled tanks and belted shirtdresses. Stand-out pieces include a floral print canvas coat, a shibori print ¾-sleeve dress, floral print shorts and a striped pleated dress, with prints that give a nod to Panichgul’s Eastern heritage.”

The collection is fun and young, love the prints and colors on the basic tees, tunics, skirts and dresses- I especially like the floral print canvas coat (pictured). I anticipate the release, are you feelin’ the range? Which pieces do you like?

Jennifer Alfano Spring 2009

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 08:00:00 +0000

We love Jennifer Alfano, the former fashion editor turned bag designer is one of the sweetest girls in the biz. Her new bags for Spring 2009 are a vision of color and supple skins adorned with jewels. Jennifer told me yesterday that "the kissing scarabs on the minaudieres were inspired by jewelry my mom had from the 70s--one of my favorite eras. The scarab beetle is an ancient Egyptian symbol of good luck--and I like the idea of having a good luck charm on your bag!" So do we! Jennifer further elaborates, "This is also a precursor to jewelry which I am working on for fall 09, in silver and plated silver with semi precious stones." Oh, exciting, we love jewelry and can't wait to see the collection. Price of clutches: Orange lizard with turquoise stones: $1595, Bangkok (ombre) lizard with chalcedony stones: $1595, Amethyst colored python with amethyst stones: $1495, Silver karung with hematite stones: $1395. The size is 6"x 3.5" x 1.5"--so they fit your cell, keys,lipstick and credit card. The python hobo Paloma is also a stunner trimmed in just a tad of fringe. Being a former Fashion Editor at Vogue and Bazaar, Jen knows where to draw the line when it comes to trends.

Available at Wynn Las Vegas, Jeffreys NYC, Josephs in Houston and Lux Couture in Boston.

Frugal Bag Snobs need not fret, Jennifer is having her sample sale this week in NYC! Prices $100 - $600!

BINSI Birthing Wear gives New Meaning to the Impractical Hospital Gown

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:42:04 +0000

Maternity wear has come a long way since those outlandish tent dresses and ugly elastic pants. Everything from maternity lingerie to eveningwear now comes in designer labels. And the newest garment for pregnant women is the birthing line of clothing. Comfortable tops and practical skirts are made specifically for that time during intense labor.

Typically the pregnant lady enters the hospital and the attendants are quick to clothe her in a hospital gown with which is fine on the front but the back is blowing in the wind, baring all. As if giving birth was not enough of a trial, now the woman must show her bottom to the world as she awaits her new baby. Frustrated with the indiscreet circumstances, Carrie Grimditch decided to make herself a birthing skirt. She then made skirts for other pregnant women and subsequently, Carrie and Kimberly Taylor formed BINSI Inc, the labor and birth apparel company.

Such a simple notion but when you see the pregnant models wearing the cropped tops, tankinis and skirts, they actually look quite fashionable. Women are able to move around the hospital while waiting for the birth of their babies and at the same time doctors and nurses can easily monitor their condition without the intrusion of regular clothing. The newest pieces in the collection are the BINSI® Bamboo made from bamboo and organic cotton with a hint of spandex to hold its cute shape. A comfortable style with below belly fit, breathable fabric with wicking properties, and sexy side slits for optimal movement, coupled with the matching tankini, you would never know the woman was about to give birth.

It is hard to believe that expectant mothers can look fashionable up to and during labor!

Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:17:52 +0000

Once again Louis Vuitton collaborate with Artist Stephen Sprouse, after the success of the graffiti collection in 2001, Louis Vuitton and Sprouse recreate the graffiti print but this time on many more items : bags, sneakers, shoes, sunglasses as well as some clothing and some more accessories… Personally I dont like it too much, only the bags are cool, but the collection (especially the sneakers) are little bit passé , I mean its my personal taste - also the Marc Jacobs nude shot by Terry Richardson for for Harper’s Bazaar’s January issue are, let’s say… pretty powerful ! Via WWD / Harper’s Bazaar

ps: I didnt post the sneakers, because i think they are too ugly to be showcased here (you can see them here)
