  • Get Your Coats & Jackets Now and Save on the Newest Styles 31 August, 2010, 3:00 pm
    While not all of us are stocking up on our pens, pencils and notebooks for the upcoming school year, fashionistas of all ages can still take advantage of back-to-school deals. Since retailers know that “back to school” shopping equals consumer spending, they offer a plethora of deals in August and part of September to entice customers (a.k.a you) to spend the allocated budget on their products. One the best ways to take advantage of these price dips is by stocking up on the key wardrobe item for the upcoming season: the coat.   Work with these price dips and proactively stock up on your fall and winter jacket & coat now while all the sizes are still in stock.  Then, pat yourself on the back for checking “a warm coat” off your list early, getting the best price, and having the freedom to choose from an abundance of styles and sizes. A word of warning: act quick, these prices will return to the original prices as soon as back-to-school madness quiets down. This Laundry Coat Long Sleeved Military Flared Jacket, on sale for $255 (from $340), incorporates fall’s military inspired and 50s trends in one statement-making jacket.Simply exquisit, this DKNY Danielle Ruffled Placket, on sale for $ 285 (from $380),  is sure to make head turns in an all white silhouette and delicately ruffled neckline.Swingy and chic, this belted Asymmetrical Zip Kenneth Cole Reaction Coat, on sale for $210 (from $280),  is both fun and stylish for the cool days ahead.

  • Haul Your Books In Style With A New Messenger Bag 25 August, 2010, 9:27 pm
    School may be starting, but believe it or not, there is a way to make that first disheartening hike to class a little more enjoyable — a new messenger bag for all your school loot! Kick that nerdy backpack to the curb and opt for one of this season’s most stylish messengers to stow all your books, electronics, and other study must-haves on the go. Of course, messenger bags aren’t just for students, so if you’re in the market for a new bag to tow your laptop or other work necessities, look no further! I love the edginess of this corset-inspired bag with lace-up details, courtesy of Kettle Black, but if you were hoping for something with a preppier vibe, this houndstooth patterned bag from Juicy Couture has “giddy schoolgirl” written all over it. Ikat prints are still totally in, so I’m loving the tribal flair of this bag from Urban Outfitters, which is colorful without looking garish. For a more splurge-worthy staple, you might want to opt for a messenger with a more classic look that’ll still be stylish for years to come, like this buckled snake-embossed messenger by CC Skye, or this practical one from Banana Republic! *From our friends at theFind BlogPopular Posts: Best Vintage Stores on Ebay: Find Unique Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry, and Beyond Fashion Innovations: Meet World’s Best Line Free Underwear – My Panteez Celebrity Eye Candy: Get Kim Kardashian’s Christian Louboutin Lace-up Sandals Best Summer Moisturizers: Keep Your Face Wrinkle Free Best Tankini Swimsuits: Finally a Slimming Cut That Doesn’t Compromise Style Online Designer Sample Sales: J Brand Jeans, Jay Goddfrey Dresses, Marc by Marc Jacobs Stumble upon something good?

  • The Butcher’s Block “Coin and Sq” Medallions 2 September, 2010, 5:19 pm
    Lets face it— Puerto Rican from the hood? Yeah, gold is pretty much a prerequisite. Even my grandmother had some gold framed teeth. I remember I worked with a Puerto Rican dude at a metal shop who fixed the greasy machinery— while wearing multiple necklaces, bracelets, gold watch and a ring on every finger. I’m known for my gold cleaver but that never goes over well at my kids school so I toned it down a bit. - Double sided gold coin with my TBB logo on one side and my FRANKMATIC™ logo on the other (yeah that’s my face too.. why not?) - Addition gold piece with my Butcher’s “B” Big shout to my peoples over at Linx Jewelry in Venice California for the continued love.

    The goal is to make it look easy. The magic is in the mystery. Being able to work with a company with so much of a heritage is truly a blessing. I’m confident in saying that Clarks is probably the industries most copied. Wallabees, Desert Boots, Weavers, Desert Treks— their design influence is in everything from high end dress shoes to skate shoes- and everything else in between. I can go on about how the Wallabee means to much to me. From Sick Rick to Ghostface– Especially Ghost!!! The Weaver is Mr. Wally’s sexy cousin and shes a beauty. Long story short– from the design to the marketing plan, I had a blast… and the cycle continues… and by that I mean I’m already working on our Spring / Summer project.
  • Interview By Dante Ross 2 September, 2010, 4:28 pm
    So I was interviewed by my homie Dante Ross For fmsshoes.com ( If you wanna see a few snaps of me from inside the pop up shop click here Here is what he had to say about me…which is pretty fucking dope! Dante is a dude who was been doing it in NY for a long time. So having his respect is something that I don’t take lightly. Read*** Hailing from Syracuse, NY and currently residing in Jersey City, Mel’s been documenting NY’s up and comers on his beautiful website, Village Slum, for the past several years. It’s become a staple on my daily blog troll. Mel’s trademark black and white photos and his access to the who’s who of rap talent in NY have set him apart from the usual photo blogs. If you want to see what NY really looks like, I highly suggest you check it out. There are lots of sexy ladies, candid shots of your favorite musicians, and a potpourri of downtown celebutantes. Mel’s been busy lately being the Roots personal tour photographer, designing for Etnies, and working on a book with my pals over at 10Deep. Mel is documenting important social and artistic moments much like his heroes Ricky Powell and Martha Cooper. If I had to call it, I’d say Mel would one day sit along side these seminal photographers as an important player in documenting the NY social experience. See*** I love how I double back on the influence questions. But it’s the truth. Shit just clicked and I was like hmmm pics look good. Fuck it. Ima be a photog!

    Vikter Duplaix-The Way You Make Me Feel. I wish I could make music that is as BEAUTIFUL as this song! It’s so amazing! I love my rap/hip hop. But I also love RnB, funk, rock, metal, jazz and even some pop shit. Music is the reason I take photos. It moves me in so many ways. Like this song. It is putting me in a place, making me think about HER . I need a beer!
  • SKATEBOARD YOKA 2 September, 2010, 11:07 am
    During New York Comic-Con 2010, adFunture will be releasing a number of new items. Some were disclosed before, some were delayed until now, and then some were never seen before. I figured I’d start by showing a piece that was never mentioned before. SKATEBOARD YOKA is a new series designed to add to the existing YOKA collection. For its debut, we have invited our friend ANTZ from Singapore to grace the first deck. This set, edition of 300, will first be sold in NYCC, at the camp of MyPlasticHeart. Don’t miss out~

  • Halling the Knits 4 September, 2010, 4:57 am
    One thing that has been drummed into my head in my few days of vegging out in front of the hotel TV is how the nature of American seasons and the 'coming of fall' is really emphasised in seasonal advertising.  "We have great denim offers for fall."  "Fall is coming, better stock up on school supplies." etc.  Not that we don't have 'Back to School' offers thrown at us in the UK but autumn as a season isn't really emphasised in the same way.  Like the sucker that I am for TV-brain washing, all this 'Fall' talk has me subliminally reaching out for knits, capes, boots and layers - all the things that I normally adopt for leaf crunching, most people's favourite thing to do during autumn/fall - even if the temperatures outside suggest otherwise.  I think I may have seen more than 50ml of sweat coming off a jogger's forehead the other day as he was trudling by. This may explain why I picked out the chunkiest Jil Sander knitted top yesterday at the Barney's Warehouse sale and why I'm posting about this debut collection of knitwear by Amy Hall.  Yokoo does somewhat own the chunky knitwear game though I have a feeling she may be heading in a slightly unexpected direction as her hugely successful Etsy label probably starts becoming a bit of a mini empire.  Amy Hall is a self-taught knitwear designer who interned at Clare Tough for a bit and as now launched her mini collection of seven pieces that are made in the heart of Dalston and ready to buy straight away.  She's a slightly more expensive prospect that Yokoo's knits though her mix of yarns errs towards the use of silk and mohair and merino wool and her pieces are larger scale too featuring capes, schrugs that can be worn both ways that are heavily built up in texture.  The names of the pieces - squirrel, possum, fox, mink, beaver, monkey and bunny - are of course animal references without going anyway near the actual animal.  I love that the faux take on animal fur which I saw as a bit of a mini-trend at the LCF BA shows has been taken up as a commercial prospect through Hall's collection.  It will be interesting to see whether Hall builds on top of these initial core designs or where she does seasonal collections like other London-based knitwear designers.  I'd like to see badger, stoat, hare and vole get added to the mix... anthing to recreate Animals of Farthing Wood of course...
  • NY Vegging 3 September, 2010, 2:42 pm
    >> Just in case, it wasn't entirely clear from previous posts, I'm now in New York until the end of fashion week - there is plenty of good reason why I'm here insanely early before fashion week starts but I can't say now.  I am revelling in the simple pleasure of just vegging out at my NY second home, the Soho Grand, seeing as the summer has flown by without a real holiday (I'm racking my brains trying to remember where June, July and August went and what they were spent doing... but no discernable holiday that wasn't related to the blog/work etc was taken...).  I may also be nicking a Bank Holiday from the Americans by adopting Labour Day Weekend (I still spell it 'ou') as my ultimate veg-out time before the madness begins next week.  This is what I'll be looking at as I whazz through 200+ channel and eat one too many room service fries.  When I did pull myself away from fries and Mad Men repeats, I made it to the Barney's Warehouse sale in its final weekend it is a mountain of amazing discounts on everything that comes to mind from the past few seasons.  I'm going to go back for more in the final day of discounting but for now, I came away with a pair of Celine trousers, a Jil Sander knit (no photographic evidence whilst I'm moored up in my room...) and this Sacai bra that will make up one half of an ornate vegging out outfit... The details in the bra also pick up these rose gold tones which have come with me in my suitcase... the jewellery might be overkill for vegging out though...

  • Extra Narrative 3 September, 2010, 6:20 am
    When I chatted to the Proenza Schouler boys last season after the A/W 10-11 show, they said that they just designed what they're into, what they know, as opposed to over thinking and baking out an idea.  Then they hit me with a film collaboration with director Harmony Korine and suddenly an extra narrative is woven to their 'basketball court at night' inspired collection.  Or else, they lucked out and Korine managed to add a whole new dimension to the collection that deepened the sense of alienation and disenfranchisement to what are essentially cute clothes that girls jump up and down wanting to wear and sucker that I am, I'm drawn like a predictable moth to that outsider flame in Korine's Nashville. The scribbles on the J Brand x Proenza Schouler jeans are not just the product of a lucrative collaboration but a each scrawl on the jean is a fucked up expression of rebellion/escape in an isolated town.  The flared skirts that fold down at the waist paired with a prim buttoned up shirt and thigh high socks aren't just a an easy and twisted take on the naughty schoolgirl but an ensemble to give the outward appearance of happiness whilst concealing malcontent beneath the surface. Never mind the fact that Harmony Korine's cast of Nashville girls in 'Act Da Fool', guzzling down malt liquor wearing head to toe Proenza Schouler is in reality a jarring combination but a simple voiceover bridges the gap between the material and the situation, and you do end up half-believing that these girls are well and truly wearing what is a luxurious take on urban school uniforms.  If before, I gave props to Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez for just cleverly tapping into the simple yet effective (though completely unpredictable) nugget of what girls really want to covet and wear, then the Korine film adds a convincing backstory that becomes the final clincher to what I suspected;  that the collection had me well and truly slayed.  Just when I thought fashion film was beginning to develop the stench of 'filler' of 'fluff' about them, I get smacked down by this stellar example as well as Kenneth Anger's turn for Missoni.  I guess this was a long winded and roundabout way of declaring "I'm just one out of millions that hearts Proenza Schouler's A/W 10-11 collection" and that surprisingly, it took a film to confirm that...
  • Friendship Tote 2 September, 2010, 4:45 am
    >> I swear this isn't a post to prompt people to buy a tote with my face on it and to be honest, I'm probably a little late as these Borders and Frontiers totes with illustrated mug shots of myself, Tavi, Elizabeth, Queen Michelle and Fake Karl have been up on ASOS for a bit now... The focus point of my mugshot tote isn't my expression though which is a distinct cross between "I'm about to kill you" and "I've been brainwashed by aliens".  No, it is of course a 'vintage' (can 2006 possibly be vintage?) head dress from Anthony Vaccarello's graduate collection, an early gift from the designer who is now a firm firm friend.  So for this I'm grateful that the pic I submitted to Borders and Frontiers was one that is more about Anthony than it is about me, or at the very least, it's a personal reminder of our friendship...  I've never shied away from the bias I have towards Vaccarello but at the same time his work has never given me reason to cover up with some flimsy excuse of "He's my friend".  I'm just insanely lucky that he does churn out collections that time and time again, blows my mind.  I'm taking this moment to congratulate him on the bout of press he's had, namely a profile piece in US Vogue's September issue as well as to say that Browns now have his A/W 10-11 collection online.  I'm kind of amazed at the progression trajectory from season to season but I guess I shouldn't be all that shocked either.  S/S 11 is also shaping up to be stunning...well, of course, more shameless bias posts will be on their way in due course...
  • Match MiH 2 September, 2010, 3:41 am
    The relationship between myself and jeans has never been an easy one - I'm pretty sure I've recounted at least three instances where there's me in a changing room, feeling tortured, stupid and ridiculous, whilst trying on x style of jeans from x label, thinking these were the ones that would "change my life".  Such are the cult mechanics behind denim that people who have found "their" label and style swear by them as though they were health/beauty remedies.  I'm resolved that I'm always going to be the type of person that might stumble upon jeans and should they be able to put to good use in my usual multi-layered outfits, then it's a chilled/relaxed thumbs up.  No sweeping life-changing statement or superlatives.  When you combine the jean with the 'interesting trew' (a category that I tend to obssess about because as with jeans, I've never found many 'basic trews'), then I can definitely get a bit more and memories of my legs twisted with a pair of skinny jeans in a claustrophobic changing room start to dissipate. So we have a collaboration between Liberty (I swear I don't comb these things out, the Liberty brushstroke just comes looking for me!) and MiH Jeans.  I've come across MiH in the lovely Merchant Archive where it sells like hotcakes apparently.  The story behind the brand is a pretty endearing one.... designer and founder Chloe Lonsdale's dad was dubbed the Blue Jean King with his Jean Machine stores selling old denim in the 70s.  He married his 'Blue Jean Bride' Chekkie Maskell who was a denim model and she happened to model a jeans range called Made in Heaven whose founder would become Chloe's godfather.  So Chloe happed upon these archive pieces in the attic when she was a young teen and so decided to revive the brand as MiH.   The story also has legs to continue with a blog that cites Chloe's influences and design process... I have to love the fact that they dubbed Vada Margaret Sultenfuss from My Girl as a denim icon... It therefore feels like a natural collaboration between MiH, an inherently London-led denim label to nab some fabrics from Liberty of London's archives to apply to their two styles of jeans - the Vienna skinny style and the Marrakech kick flare.  Yes, flare.  I'm trying very very hard to recall whether I've worn a flared jean style but I just can't recall.  I remember the Stolen Girlfriend's Club half-jersey, half-lace flares which were my most recent flare foray.  Nope, no flared jeans though.... So here goes with the shedding of my flared jean virginity.  A key moment, I'm sure you'll agree with me, no?  As opposed to ditzy florals and nods to summer tea dresses, MiH has chosen a deep deep rich purple velvet for the flare styles that is meant to recall the store of Liberty itself.  I personally had to break out with some autumnal florals that will be heavy rotation in September/October (leaf crunching days!) to go with the deep deep purple, thanks to a shirt that I bought from Second Chance in Istanbul.  I also had to slip in a bag passed down from my mum.  I alas don't have the sort of cool parental heritage that Chloe does but the mothership is good for raiding bags, gloves and cashmere... (With vintage kimono, vintage velvet floral shirt, vintage bag, Lanvin heels) The skinny style was more of a no-brainer.  Again, the Liberty aspect has been worked in unexpectedly through a bleached out feather print called 'Dakota' which was sourced from the Liberty archives.  This is like I said, layering fodder for me, again, paired with autumnal florals - primarily a Christopher Kane dress that keeps taking me back to that Waltz of the Flowers segment in Fantasia... The sleeveless trench is waiting to have new sleeves sewn on in a quickie DIY project that will take up approx a one-way Eurostar trip.  Saving that one for Paris Fashion Week but for now, it also can just about survive in its sleeveless form (With Christopher Kane dress, vintage trench with sleeves cut-off, floral socks, Dries Van Noten shoes)
  • Monki Around 1 September, 2010, 5:26 am
    I'd like to say the title was a very original/witty creation of my own but alas, Property Week beat me to it.  Actually trusty Property Week was supposed to my only source of information regarding H&M's physical store UK expansion plans with the primarily Swedish chain Monki.  I hear Monki banded about randomly on many a Scandi fashion blog (overriding theme of all of them - that Scandi girls and boys are sickeningly cool looking...) and I have been Monki-converted, the one time I did pop into the stores and didn't know where to look because I was either distracted by the graphic treatment of the stores (Monki creates its own fantasy-driven worlds for their stores, disregarding the one-shop-fits-all method) or the clothes which are just a little sub-Topshop prices that whilst being trend-driven are never overly referential and seem to fit into a style mould of their own that I can't describe as anything but Scandi-cool.  Urgh...I think I may have used that phrase in an interview I gave at Stockholm Fashion Week and even as I said it, I could feel my eyeballs wincing at the non-specific vagueness of that term... All I can say is that what the clothes exude is something that I feel courses through the streetstyle of Stockholm or Copenhagen, and at the admirable pricing, therefore would make it a pleasing addition to our busting UK high street.  I also like the fact that whilst Monki is a chain, it gives off the impression of having a spirit about it that is independent which is well-reflected in its store fits, website and now publication which I stumbled upon accidentally. On my last day of Stockholm Fashion Week though, I was fortunate enough to run into Eleonore Nygards who I knew from her own blog and her work at Modette magazine (blub blub...).  She's now doing work for Monki and has recently project managed the first issue of Monki magazine which I got my hands on.  She also let slip that the e-store for Monki as well as COS will be launching in the UK next year.  Not sure if that's a piece of confidential information but it of course would make sense as H&M's e-commerce arm is about to launch this month.  The magazine though which adds to the publishing activities that both COS and H&M do now on a regular basis was as expected, wonderful in illustrative aesthetics and also goes beyond the usual mounds of product listings by adding editorials and little featurettes.  Back to Property Week though - it says that H&M haven't made a comment regarding opening stores in the UK it's only rumoured that they're looking for London locations.  The article suggests that perhaps the British high street is too over-saturated and crammed with stores for Monki to get a look in.  But lo and behold, Monki has just opened its first store in Hong Kong which I suppose does mean I can get my Monki fix on my next trip back to the motherland but still, I'm sure Oxford/Regent street can budge up on the store fronts to make room for some Monki action - who's up for replacing that awful strip at the beginning of Oxford Street (TCR end...) or the random shops selling luggage with Monki?
  • Repeat Exhibit 31 August, 2010, 2:32 pm
    >> I'm not ENTIRELY sure why when this original retrospective of Hussein Chalayan's work from 1994-2009 at London's Design Museum was never blogged about here.  I'm scratching my head even more seeing as the exhibition was also media-partnered by Dazed & Confused, where I was working at the time.  Was I somehow put off by the mountains of positive praise the exhibition got and thus didn't think me and my blog chirping in was going to add anything useful or insightful? As I ponder what happened to my responsible posting antics during the period of January and May 2009, I'm instead going to be INCREDIBLY belated by posting these pics that I took at the Istanbul Modern where the exhibition is currently touring and has also been updated with additions of some of his 2010 collections.  I guess I still have nothing interesting to say about the exhibition in 2010 as my muted self in 2009, other than to echo what everyone else has said.  What I will say though is that given the bigger space of the Istanbul Modern, Donna Loveday's curation of the exhibition seems even more effective, especially when it comes to the video projections of Chalayan's various film projects that he has accumulated throughout the years.  The choice of mannequins that have an almost-eerie expression and liveliness to their faces all bring the extraordinary clothes to life as opposed to the alternative of the normal headless dummies that could have made Chalayan's creations look cold and sterile.  And oh dear... here we go... review mode... this is of course NOT new for those that did make it to the Design Museum but somehow, reliving it the second time in the hustle of Istanbul, a ground closer to Chalyan's Turkish-Cypriot roots, enhanced the overall impact of the exhibition.  Plus, this is blogpost atonement here. Ah I just remembered.... I had a duff SD card that deleted my pics of the exhibition... DOUBLE DOH!

  • Box Tidy 31 August, 2010, 6:56 am
    >> I seem to think that all posts these days need to be chunky heffer things with oodles of pics which means I've ignored the prevalent nature of blog reading which is that it's normally fast, bite-sized and hurried.  The madness is more maddening when I've been travelling like a lunatic recently (off to New York tomorrow) which means I should be doing more itty bitty posts to keep the flow going.  I therefore give you these itty bitty but by no means weak or flimsy in strength box bags by Sophie Hulme which have just dropped into the Supersweet online store.  Actually I'm glad they've picked up a lot of Hulme's A/W 10-11 accessories which is all screws, brass plating with an emphasis on whistles and good quality leather work.  Yes, the bag we're all SUPPOSED to be toting has gone all square, minimal and sensible but I still think there's a balance to be struck between neat and interesting which these box bags hit perfectly.  Judging by the size, I'm also thinking it can hold the blackberry, Oyster, debit card, lip balm and small digi cam all with ease ease.  The Nikon will just have to be slung over in a multi-shoulder-strapped combination....
  • Itty Bitty of Tsumori 30 August, 2010, 3:32 pm
    >> On my hopefully pending trip to Tokyo, I'm making it a self-assigned journalistic task to try and find out why is it that so many of the Japanese labels (including the 'big' ones that I know of, exempting the smaller ones that I'm sure would also blow my mind...) hardly make it over to Europe-bound stockists... or more specifically and selfishly London.  It's a connecting question to why certain brands have different Japan/Europe/USA regional stock variations.  Perhaps I'll get a big fat inconclusive in-need-of-translation mess but seeing as I have thus far loved the process of commissioning myself (when you think of bloggers in that way, I suddenly see "Saddo" branded across my forehead...), it's still an issue I'd love to get my investigative teeth stuck into. In the meantime though, I'm consoling myself with the beginning inklings of e-stores such as Koshka.  Based in Berlin, they aspire to "an aesthetic that encompasses both the calm and pure beauty of Japanese pottery and the jittering neon of contemporary Asian metropolis."  Err... which perhaps is an English statment lost in translation as I'm not sure if Japanese fashion should even be let loose near those seemingly naive cliches.  Still, the intentions are clear as they are now stocking Tsumori Chisato which is a good enough reason for me to give it a thumbs up seeing as Chisato UK-available stockists are literally a handful.  Farfetch have a few pieces and now Koshka adds more to that pool... Of course life would be a happier one with plait/rope suspender cloud wooley tights... I know tights aren't meant to be trews but perhaps an exception needs to be made when clouds and plaits and 100% opaqueness are involved... Sticking to the hoisery category, Koshka also stock Ayame socks, made in the old city of Nara where Japanese artisan techniques and fabrications are applied to designs that are anything but 'old'... the sock drawer refuses to be shrunk and is actually the one category of wardrobe which I didn't reduce in my big clear out... Through Koshka, I've also learnt that Hall Ohara a design duo I knew from their London-Tokyo love story, have renamed their label as In Process. Shida Tatsuya's website is pretty scant with information or images but all I need to know is that I'm willing to restrict arm movement for this cracked metallic effect woolen mishapen cape that is THE chunky cocoon to fight of all the other chunky cocoons that are out in force for this winter...
  • Caption This Istanbul Styleeee 30 August, 2010, 2:15 pm
    Like I said in the Zeynep Tosun post, Istanbul was exactly the cacophony that I had hoped for but fashion-wise, I think it requires a bit of digging to know exaclty what it's all about.  I must have spent about five minutes trying to memorise street names and designer names (somehow Turkish pronounciations just did not computate properly in my head...) so perhaps five days of heated sightseeing was not the best way of immersing oneself into the scene.  Next time, I'll seek out some insiders to guide me... So from my trip to Istanbul, I thought I'd round up everything through my avid yet amateurish picture snapping.  It's all probably going to come off looking like a Istanbul Tourist Board slideshow (except taken by a rubbish photographer...) but I promise if you read all the relevant captions, I do have something more to say other than "Pretty rings in Grand Bazaar" or "Lovely view of the Bosphorus."  I've still got a few things to delve deeper into from this whirlwind trip but like I said, a second and smarter visit has got to be on the agenda... Right, so I'm ashamed to say we spent a lot of time on a coach, viewing things from air-conditioned comfort and being stuck in an awful amount of traffic (Istanbul's stumbling block...) but I promise I did get off my arse to do some walking around even if I did have to stop along the way to escape the scorching heat... There was a good lot of UK press/buyers over there... including Erin Mullaney from Browns, Chloe Kerman from Tank magazine, Max Pearmain from Pop magazne and Zoe Maughan from AnOther magazine... cue school trip photo with cheesy grins.  Much thanks to our tour guide Serkan for taking this one.  He also gets line of the week as he was describing the Turkish bath procedure... "You go into room.  Fat ladies with moustache will come and give you massage..." Oh yes... sky colour of the week... blue, true true blue... heated blue... this one was taken inside the Blue Mosque... One of the winners of the Koza Young Fashion Awards in the ready to wear category where err...Anna Kournikova was present... had to blink and blink again to verify that it was in fact her... Sevan Bicakci's jewellery is pretty internationall renowned with plenty of stockists but it was the first time I had seen it up close in his store near the Grand Bazaar which is pretty much like a swanky Aladdin's cave... Onto the Grand Bazaar which of course is an Istanbul-must see with over 4,000 stalls.  Sadly I had a pretty odd time walking through the stalls with EVERY seller shouting "Konichiwa" or "You Japanese?" to me as I walked by... nothing I haven't experienced before but when there's approximately 20 men doing it at the same time, it does put you off looking at these sellers' wares let along actually stopping to buy something.  I did find some amazing antique jewellery in the Old Bazaar section but balked a bit at the prices in relation to my own measly pot of available funds... The suspended book entrance to the Istanbul Modern... craned up to see what needed reading... Bora Aksu presented his S/S 11 collection as part of IFW which in part was a continuation of the underwear as outerwear, nude deets-filled A/W 10-11 collection... my favourite pieces were naturally the fleshy flowy parts... I possibly may have overgorged on pistachio nuts since most Turkish sweets are full of the stuff... 5 times a night?  Really?  Is that actually necessary?  Can someone verify this because ostensibly this just looks like a normal walnut cookie... Dried tomatoes, peppers and aubergine skins looking lush and again echoing the colours that infiltrated Zeynep Tosun's S/S 11 collection.... The finale page-turning piece to Arzu Kaprol's varied collection... Most enthusiastic entertainer ever at the Vogue Turkey party... she had moves... Anna Piaggi and her minder joined in on our sightseeing tour.  I applaud her for being able to wear so many layers in such searing heat.  She was also wearing some amazing creepers that I wanted to pick her brains about but was scared her minder might errr.... swat me away... Inside the Harem of the Topkapi Palace doing a mirror shot with one of the biggest/most ornate mirrors I've ever seen... I love a good wax figurine 'recreated history' set-up... this is where the Sultan's mother was supposed to have received guests... I did spend a lot of time gawping at fresh produce mainly because I get market jealousy when I go abroad... On my little go-around the Galata district (DEFINITELY needs a few more trips to explore this nugget area in Istanbul...), I came across Laundromat which sold a lot of Turkish designers. One of the co-owners is a designer herself...Yasemin Ozeri makes fairly muted that are a step up from basics but never showy or ostentatious... I picked up a cropped shirt that actually saved me from running out of sweat-free clothes...   Some images from her collections... They also stocked some interesting leather goods by brand Tizu (no website I think...) - I liked the rust effects on the laptop cases... A fairly new addition to the Galata district was Bahar Korcan's store.... some of the clothes had a Tsumori Chisato feel about them with their whimsical motifs and Korcan's own winged-logo... We also saw Bahar Korcan's presentation of her S/S 11 collection 'Listen' which was consisted of 17 pieces of costume and was accompanied by Fuat and DJ Mr Pink (Turkish rapping contrasting against the freeform nature of the frou-frou costumes...) Tried to count how many buildings had huge Turkey flags or portraits of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk hanging but I lost it at about 300... don't think I've seen so much national love in one city before... Being the ignorant tourist that I am, I did not know that 30th August is Turkey's Victory Day.  Stupid Brits Abroad eh? I had to go seek SOME shopping pleasure so ended up at Second Chance, again in the Galata district which is a bijoux two floor teensy tiny vintage treasure chest.  I got myself flocked velvet shirt that is purely for sessions of  autumnal leaf-crunching... Considered these sandals as my "Look look, I got these GENUINELY Turkish-made sandals...!" souvenir but couldn't verify whether they were just a tourist trapping buy or not... At another Turkish-designer filled boutique Midnight Express, I found Zeynep Tosun's A/W 10-11 collection which is surprisingly well-priced...hmmm... a cheeky email about private orders for the S/S 11 collection is perhaps in order... Now, I don't want to rain on the food parade that I had in Istanbul because I did have some excessively yummy things but I did find it quite funny to see these err...canapes on the Bosphorus boat cruise we took... basically Kraft cheese slices on white bread cut up into triangles... Ah... a sky that isn't bright bright true blue... the cruise wasn't the final part to my Istanbul trip but it was mighty pretty, made cuter by Olivier Zahm's daughter Asia running about the boat, shrieking in French and thus breaking up the slightly stiff talk of fashion journalists on the boat... I think my juvenile canape snapping didn't sit well with the rest of the crowd either.  Yes, go back to primary school little one...

Manolo’s Shoe Blog

  • Manolo the Columnist: Missmadison from Stuart Weitzman 3 September, 2010, 6:23 am
    Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column from the Express of the Washington Post Dear Manolo, What is your opinion of office romances? There’s a super cute single guy in my workplace whose attention I wish to attract. At the same time, I need to maintain my professional demeanor. Can you recommend something that is subtly seductive and yet appropriate for work? Maya Manolo says, unlike most of the other so-called “career consultants”, the Manolo is very pro office romance. Yes, there is the strong danger that the affair may go awry leaving you obsessed with the jerky-jerk-face ex-boyfriend whom you will encounter each time you go to the copy machine. Indeed, you may become so obsessed that you could spend all of your time at the office weeping, eating junk food pilfered from the communal refrigerator, and plotting this man’s return to your embrace and/or gruesome death (as the case may be). As you spiral downward, you could begin to confide inappropriate personal romantic details with important clients and janitors, your personal hygiene could suffer, and pajama bottoms might begin to seem like the good choice for professional attire. And, lickity-splitity, you could be out on the street living in the cardboard box, unemployed. But, these dangers, as real as they are, pale in comparison to finding true love, no? Here is the Missmadison from Stuart Weitzman, the scarlet suede pump, that when paired with the dark-colored business attire could get the job done.

  • Whose Shoes Wednesday…The Answer! 2 September, 2010, 9:26 am
    Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Yoko Ono! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend, the Gemdiva, who was the first to correctly identify this week’s annoyingly annoying personage of note.

    Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Yoko Ono! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend, the Gemdiva, who was the first to correctly identify this week’s annoyingly annoying personage of note.
  • The Lady Politicians’ Shoe of Choice 1 September, 2010, 7:04 pm
    Manolo says, it is the Kate Spade Wedge! Despite the three-inch wedge heels on her black patent leather shoes, after hours of walking, Ms. Saujani, a former hedge-fund general counsel and a successful political fund-raiser, seemed as calmly cheerful as she did at the outset of the day. Finally, as we returned to her office, I asked: About those shoes? “They’re the Kate Spade wedges,” she said, sagging slightly, as if she had only just then been reminded that she had feet. “They’re these politician-woman shoes.” She had gotten the tip from someone who worked for Hillary Rodham Clinton. They are apparently something of an “it” shoe right now for women in politics: Ms. Saujani said that Kathleen M. Rice, who is running for attorney general, also wore them (a photograph on Ms. Rice’s Facebook page bears that out). The chief of staff for a prominent woman in Congress told me that she, too, religiously relied on her Kate Spade wedge heels (though she spoke on the condition of anonymity because she preferred not to be known for her brand of footwear). “They’re very comfy,” said Annie Mullaly, Ms. Saujani’s finance director. “They’re like Crocs. You’ll see them everywhere once you’ve identified them.” [...] But the Kate Spade wedge heels are not just one candidate’s shoes. They seem to be the shoes of a circle of younger women aspiring to power or already in it, women directly and indirectly passing on to one another ways of navigating the particular challenges of being a woman in the public eye. A woman must look put-together, but not as if she is a slave to fashion; she must look groomed, but never be spotted grooming. That is all well and good if you want to look like the politician, however, if your tastes run to the slightly more aggressive, and you wish perhaps to make the statement on the campaign trail… Allow the Manolo to suggest these over-the-knee Boots from Belle by Sigerson Morrison as being worthy of consideration. With these on your feets, you would not ask for the votes, you would command them! P.S. The Manolo has long been the fan of the Kate Spade shoes, for exactly the reason cited above, they are well-made, reasonably comfortable, and perfectly suitable for the working girl.

  • The Emmys: Special Older Lady Pantsuit Edition! 1 September, 2010, 6:26 pm
    Manolo says, among the trends the Manolo detected at the Awards of the Emmys last evening was the older lady pantsuit! Ann-Margaret in Black! Sharon Gless in white! Cindy Lauper…might the Manolo make the suggestion?
  • The Emmys: Special Letting Yourself Go Edition! 1 September, 2010, 6:26 pm
    Manolo says, among the trends the Manolo detected at the Awards of the Emmys last evening was the peoples who’ve decided to just say “the Hell with it.” Krya Sedgwick reports that Louis Licari was was all booked up. Well, at least the Beau Bridges dyed his eyebrows. No pre-awards show purging for the Rita Wilson.
  • Best Dressed at the Emmys: The Manolo’s List 1 September, 2010, 6:26 pm
    Manolo says, here are the Manolo’s favorites from the Carpet of Red from the last evening. Susan Sarandon… This is the lovely, restrained, classic black gown, with the proper amount of glamour, and unlike many of her most recent outfits, does not display her magnficent Sofia-Lorenesque bosom overly much in the vulgar manner. . Emily Deschanel… Few are the times the Manolo can recall bangs working for such the august occasion, but here they go marvelously with Emily Deschanel’s tiered purple gown. The look is fun without being silly. . Kim Kardashian.. It is too bad she and her family are such awful, grasping people, because she is undeniably beautiful, and her Cleopatra-esque dress is perfectly suited to her coloration and features. Gorgeous. . Lea Michele… Ayyyy! This is perhaps the Manolo’s favorite of the entire evening. This is all about proportion, femininity, and exactly the correct accessorizing and hair. This is the prime example of how the great outfit can completely transform someone into utterly super fantastic!
  • Glitter Brogues from Marc Jacobs 1 September, 2010, 6:26 pm
    Manolo says, there is only one proper response to shoes this fabulous… Hand the Manolo down his walking cane… “So much rhythm, grace and debonair from one man…”

  • California Fuugs 3 September, 2010, 3:00 pm
    This is undeniably awful and yet it totally amuses me:I mean, her t-shirt has tails. It says, 'HAPPY" on it. She's wearing Cher Horowitz knee socks, and pirate boots. She has purple and burgundy hair extensions clipped into her hair....

    I already made a magician's assistant joke today with regard to Taylor Momsen. Now I wish I'd saved it:[Photo: WENN.com]As unusual and pretty as some aspects of this gown are, I can't help expecting Natalie to go up on-stage in...
  • Gossip Girl: You Know You Fug Me 3 September, 2010, 11:00 am
    Is it sad that I consider this a victory?[Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]Yes, Taylor Momsen looks like a magician's assistant at a really cheap back-alley nightclub called Shazam. However, her makeup is like a breath of fresh air compared to the heavy-tread tires...
  • Fugchete/Unfug It Up: Jessica Alba 3 September, 2010, 10:00 am
    I love this photo. In the background, you see Freida Pinto, looking gleaming and smooth and perfect, and then there's Jessica Alba, who can't help but look disheveled by comparison and appears to be (in a trick of the angle)...
