SAC- IT- OFF

ooooh cosy times  are required for the the full effect of these cuddly sack dresses by Emily Ryan. They remind me of the dressing-gown towels babies have- (towels with hoods) which have just endless possibilities for the imaginations of babies and their sleepy heads... or the ideal thing to wear while lounging around the outdoor jacuzzi of your Canadian chalet while gazing over the crispy starry skies of Quebec... if you do that kind of thing? You probably should, its good for your circulation kids.

AWWW BLESS!

Berlin-based specialists in the essential inessential items have created chainmail window-wipers for the eyes! cyanatrendland.com have thankfully documented this important advance in eyewear from their last collection.
What do people need to look at anyway when they are indulging in serious introspection- I think its commonplace these days (the world is just wrapping paper to the gift of life- this is an actual TOUR DE FORCE original quote right here!).
I hope they are rust proof- or beyonce isnt going to be so fresh after sporting them as le parfait accompanyment to her new futuristic look... (she is you know)
But seriously who cares, they look amazing. Is that... Item Idem sporting a pair???

Heres some other exciting pieces- D.I.Y disaster-inspired cable necklace and mouldable napkin/purse which i think is beautifully romantic and versatile... you could put anything in there- an egg.... some dust!

LANGUAGE IS A VIRUS...

Yes it is, I agree with Laurie Anderson- poetical performer of music art from days gone by and also, more recently of 2008 comeback tour. I say comeback, but actually i dont think she went anywhere I just had no idea who she was till I stumbled across THIS;

Some people see her as a visionary because in the 80's she used to use her art/music to communicate her theories about the future and how it would be effected by advances in digital technology. As a result she became the only artist to be offered a residency a NASA. She also invented some kind of magnetic tape violin. Her song 'from the air' is worth checking out- though it keeps being mysteriously deleted from youtube due to the fact many believe she predicted with this song the 9/11 attacks... "this is your captain speaking... we are going down...".

Gitanjali Luxury Style Fest 09 - Day One

Last night, Gitanjali Group Chairman, Mehul Choksi and Massimo Carraro joined Priety Zinta and Neil Nitin Mukesh in hitting the gong to announce the launch of the Gitanjali Luxury Style Fest 09. Other faces spotted were Rituparna Sengupta, Narendra Kumar with Kadambari Lakhani, Nisha Jamwal, Bobby Kishan, Nikasha Tawadey, Rahul Sharma, Gayatri Khanna, Shatrujit Tikka singh, Parvez Damania, Krutika Desai, Vikram Raizada and Shaina NC. GLSF 09 is a three-day fest and Day 1 saw Rohit Bal, Ritu Beri and Wendell Rodriguez showcase their collections on the ramp.

Rohit Bal is known for incorporating an edgy attitude in his every collection. All his collections have a strong Couture element that many have tried to emulate, and failed. The highlight of his collection, as usual, was the use of fabric and textures to create sheer drama. See for yourself.

HORT + AZITA = EDUCATED FAN BASE

Super creative and well respected Berlin graphic and multimedia design company The Hort (after school club) is the most idealistic commune of employees- protected and free like a bird sanctuary with a lot of hanging nuts- anyway they have made some exciting t-shirts of colorful structures for online shop AZITA  and called it Educated Fan Base. Azita stock some unusual things by german brands- such as... SOCKSHOE's by Bless (wow yes- the future)

Thomas Vicary was the instigator of the regal trend that rolled over london like a PRIDAL-wave- okay so he might have controversially used Nazi flags for his collection-but its all the same colours.
Since graduating from the MA at CSM in 2008 he has been working on his next collection which will be shown this February. I think its a sure thing to say we can expect more of the hip-slice cutting and raw delicate couture details which will induce some serious hunger for his timeless creations.
seriously- WATCH THIS SPACE!
