Katie Gallagher A/W 2010

Katie Gallagher seems to ooze enviable amounts of cool,
perhaps it’s her penchant for all things dark and delicate.
The New York based designer’s latest A/W 2010 offering is a gorgeous extension of her last collection. A venerable mash-up of futuristic Gothic-chic and post-apocalyptic urban warrior princess.
Of course I am not at all sure if this is the message Gallagher wants us to obtain.
But can’t you just see it? No? I can! Stomping about this cold city in black liquid latex, an inky body-con dress with peek-a-boo panels, wrapped and shrouded and a biased cut utility jacket thrown over it all.
Perfect to intimidate the weak and attract the other darlings of the night!
Gallagher’s technical prowess also manages to tempt me out of the dark side and over in to a softer colour palette of white, grey and peachy nudes. More fitting for Spring I would think, as opposed to what she currently has on offer.  The real catch of the collection- the eggshell white kimono biased cut coat with the perfect massive hood to hide behind.
Gallagher delivers fresh approach to what’s on offer during the NYC fashion circuit and for this alone I am eternally grateful.

Nowness.com : LVMH’s digital marketing attempt part 2

Nowness.com leaves me much on edge, perhaps that is why I can’t seem to form a full opinion on the subject as of yet.
But what I do know is after reading Suzy Menkes New York Times special report on the new LVMH website,I am left intrigued and a little bit bitter.

Conceptually, what’s not to love?
Nowness is a well designed platform promising a digital “luxury experience” and so far features some serious creative heavy hitters.
But how long till the art is replaced by mega-brand dollar bills?

For now I will enjoy the videos on offer,
particularly the Rodarte x Todd Cole collaboration ( view it bellow)
and wait.
Patient and very skeptical.

Sewn From the Soul

I stumbled upon Street Etiquette and talented bloggers Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs a few days ago. I was a bit miffed that they had been around for so long and I had missed them.
I stand in awe and wonder! For these boys are exceptional, and I find their coverage of fashion to be honest, original and truly diverse.
The boys and five of their friends have come together to create an online editorial titled, Sewn From the Soul, where they pay homage to their strong and stylish African – American heroes past, present and future. I personally can’t think of a better way to commemorate Black History Month, and I really do hope the boys of Street Etiquette keep doing what they do.
Be sure to check out the full story at Street Etiquette!

Hurts – meet manchester’s doom-pop darlings

If there is one musical act that I am looking forward to break in 2010 it’s Manchester’s male doom-pop duo HURTS.
I am completely obsessed with their shoe-gazing 80’s synth/rock/pop/noir ‘n’ b sound, and their extremely minimalist approach to both their music and image fuels the intrigue.

I’ve had the two videos below on an insane loop,
and rumor has it the boys will come out with an album sometime in April.
I genuinely haven’t been this excited since Florence and The Machine, The XX and fellow Manchester lads Delphic.
Thank you Britannia once again for delivering the goods.
I am sorry as all we have to offer is Justin Beiber at the mo’
EUGH.

CASSETTE PLAYA’s Agumented Reality A/W 2010

I have been a huge fan of Carri Munden and her label CassettePlaya for about three years now.
Her nu-neon techno tribal designs are not for those who lack imagination!
