Designers Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders, Luella, & more

(LONDON) BASSO & BROOKE
From the 1980s flashy past, the boys at Basso & Brooke are turning heads with their spring collection. Inspired by Adlous Huxley's Brave New World, painter Fiona Rae's ironic brands of abstract expressionism, and Italian designer Ettore Stottass's bold-use graphics Bruno Bassion has not completely abandoned his past of eye-popping prints. The spring collection, however, is much more elegant than expected. From shirtdresses and floor dropping gowns and to trench coats and sportswear the collection was magnificent.

CHRISTOPHER KANE
In case you didn't know, parts of Christoper Kane's collection was stolen from the TopShop/New Generation venue literally days before his Sprint 2008 collection was to be shown!! Somehow, Kane managed to pull of a very incredible show. The concepts behind the show were Stephen King and Crocodile Dundee stories that are reminiscent of fluttery camisoles, snake print chiffon trousers, biker jackets, tiered chiffon cream dresses and tons of ruffles which we all know I personally love. There were plenty of "painted-on" looks in the collection as well as sexy looser silhouettes. The season show was a hit and everyone enjoyed their evening.

JASPER CONRAN
Like his father, the famed furniture/interior designer Sir Terence Conran, Jasper Conran favors clean, modern lines and pared-down elegance. And, this season, he didn't veer far from the family's time-tested formula. The collection included belted silk twill and jersey frocks, kimono tops that fell off the shoulder, voluminous skirts, and chiffon caftans. A smattering of tribal print gowns and caftans and large bronze jewelry played up the safari theme while the rich palette of navy, burnt orange, nutmeg, and khaki had a slight retro 1970s vibe. The looks were sleek, lovely, and above all, highly wearable.

JONATHAN SAUNDERS
After Spring 2008, Jonathan Saunders will bid London adieu and will be showing in New York next season, which may seem like the logical next step for this talented Scottish designer. Already he has had good feedback from the other side of the Atlantic and his clothes seem to get better, more sophisticated, modern, and wearable with each collection. Saunders, who wowed the fashion world with his explosive geometric prints, has become an ambassador of modern sophistication. This time his inspiration was Ettore Sottsass-focused entirely on a clean, sophisticated silhouette, which accentuated curves; and color-blocking, using a much more minimalist palette of black, white, yellow, and turquoise. For night, Saunders proved to be a thoroughly modern contender in the style stakes, showing feminine ruffles on skirts, and long columnar gowns in white and black.

LUELLA
Luella's feel was '50s/'60s/punk-rock nerdy chic; a cute mix of quirky contrasts inspired by Thora Birch in the film Ghost World. Models sported square reading glasses or plastic Batman masks, checkered bags and shoes,pink faux-bangs, and even capes.. The Batman logo appeared and reappeared (on a bomber jacket, as a motif on shirts), while Olive Oyl tea dresses and short prom dresses with netting underneath featured quite heavily. Ultra short skirts and dresses were also decorated with Perspex flowers, and the general thought was that one needs to be a superhero or under 25 to wear those supermini pleated pink skirts worn with the grey cardigans.

NaVier presents HEIR

Picture if you will, the Rat Pack (Sinatra, Sammie, Dean...) circa 1960 on a dazzling yacht in St. Tropez; wine, women, jazzy tunes, and jollies… Relay to today and in coolly strolls NaVier. On the eve of October 2, 2007, the creators David Ratchford, Charles Bryant, Kylar Gresham, Christian Ragin, Randall Little and Brendan Carnes delivered something re-freshed; a men’s wear line aspiring perfection by way of innovative luxury. These boys have conjured up something fashionably enticing for spring and beyond. Artists such as R&B singer Bobby Valentino and rapper Big Boi from OutKast have dressed in NaVier‘s earlier wears. (Their graphic silk jackets popped in 2006.) A four-pocket sport shirt was the star of Tuesday's showing to say the least with its meticulous attention to craftsmanship and sweet, savour of color. The event took place at Trinity Art Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia. Art set a perfect place for a fabulous crowd to mingle, mix and partake in a peep of NaVier‘s 2008 collection, HEIR. Gift bags from Cartier were parting favors. As it is merely the dawning, look forward to the waking of this sleeping giant in the years to come.

London Fashion Week Spring 2008

Duro Olowu became wide known for his eclectic empire waist dresses made from vintage fabrics. This season he showed a much more accomplished line inspired by the vibrant colors from India. The show opened with a brilliant teal green trouser-suit!! Other suits were shown with trousers and some with pencil skirts. Boy have the famous "Duro dresses" have also evolved. All made with vintage fabrics, the styles of the dresses, including prints and lengths, were gorgeous!

Erdem Moralioglu's show mostly consisted of custom-made taffetas and silks in black and white. You may recognize this designer's name after his 2005 Fashion Fringe winning. From this image you can see that Moralioglu met his goal of wanting "to put things together that didn't go together" with his Spring 2008 collection. Unique pairings such as cropped vests with long black gowns, bauble skirts, pleated numbers, and taffeta biker jackets made the evening interesting. The crowd favorite of the night were the abstract botanical printed evening dresses worn with strapy thongs in yellow and red patent leather! Erdem Moralioglu truly showed the sophisticated side to his surreal vision of fashion.

Congrats to Nicole Farhi, celebrating her 25th anniversary on the runway this week. Known for more comfortable pieces Farhi amazed everyone with her Spring 2008 collection inspired by tribal African prints and colors. This boho chic show gave a true sense of exotic warmth. This year Farhi raised the waist with high skirts and cropped wide pants to bring home that feeling of comfort.

Although there were many empty seats at the Paul Smith show last Tuesday at the Horticultural Halls near Victoria, Mr. Smith turned it out! It is said that many seats were empty due to Isabella Blow's memorial service which was taking place immediately following the show. Nonetheless Paul Smith's spring collection was very memorable with a 'jazzy '20s feel which can best be described as a cross between garden party and private school girl, but with an accentuated eccentricity, evidenced by models wearing Harry Potter-style reading glasses.' A vibrant collection this was. With details ranging from strips, pastels and velvet Smith delivered a charming, wearable collection.

8732 Runway Show on Auburn Ave.

The line that defines culture finally opened their doors to the general public and to celebrate, Jeezy produced a very impressive fashion show on Auburn Ave in Downtown Atlanta near the stores location. Here are some samples that you can expect to find when you enter the store!

Micheal Knight of Project Runway's NEW LINE

YES YES YALL...We were some of the first to see what Mr. Knight has been working so diligently on since his exit from Project Runway. There were plenty of Creamers in the building that you know we had to get and the line follows. Hope you enjoy!




Crystal Pistol, Michael Knight, Shoy Sauce


Peep Dawn in all black. This look is classic. The red hat is great addition to this outfit. Without it she may have been missed. We can not stress accent colors enough. Dawn gets it, I hope you do to.


I love Anna in Satin. The various shades of gray work for Anna and she is not washed away in all the gray. The pencil skirt is a fall must have. If you can find one with a high waist then snatch it up because I am sure it will not remain on the racks for long!


Brittini sports this hat well. I actually have a couple of them myself. Try them with dresses and jeans..you will be amazed. And if you are having a bad hair day you can throw one on with your bangs out and no one will ever know...trust me!! I love your hat Brittini and plaid dress.


I am such a huge fan of sailor pants..OMG Karis I am jealous of this outfit. Last year I was cleaning out my closet and found some white sailor pants just like this and they were like a size 4 and that is soo not my size. Price tag still attached I marched into Plato's Closet to make some change off of them. I bought the pants for about 70 bucks at Express and those fools gave me less than 20 for them!! Talk about pissed. I felt like ol girl from Charm School on VH1!!


Krista was actually working the event tonight but she was also working that look. You look cute girl!


Salik fix yo face!! LOL!! Men can still do the blazer and denim look but I would love to see something else. Getting dressed up should not mean putting on a blazer but Salik you look good. If you didn't we wouldn't have stopped ya.


Check out Reggae Artist Kyle looking like a true Rockstar. Although I am soo over the rockstar look I think Kyle can pull it off. For more information about kyle click here.



All fabulously fly: Mya, Sincerely, & Uynxx


Tyreal looks clean in the fitted graphic tee and denim. Guys, please do not be afraid to wear a shirt and pants that fit. I know some of you all are uncomfortable but I am not asking you to wear nutt-huggers (lol) but damn!


Scott can teach a lot of you guys a thing or 2. Scott's is so beautiful and he knows how to rock it.


Jason is another guy who gets it. If you must wear the blazer style coat then reinvent it. He reminded me so much of Fonzworth Bentley tonight!


Tiffani whatcha got on underneath that coat? Love love love the trench. This is another fall must have item ladies. If you don't have one, get one. Forget about Fall...this is a staple in your closet period. If you have questions, email us!


Simple yet effective. Angel has on a basic satin halter and jeans but she pops because of the earrings. Once again, this is how you can spruce up any would be typical outfit. Add some contrasting color and you will see a dramatic difference.

Now GOODNIGHT!!
