Highly Selective
Ahhh maybe I’m losing it in my old age. While many a fashion watcher are up to their eyeballs in sharp shoulders, studded chic and roaring gorilla tees, I seem to find myself regressing back to the simpler things. Plain button up dress shirts, pencil skirts, well cut, lived in denim, and the perfect cotton […]
I’ve always had a love affair with the idea of being shipwrecked. I still really can’t explain entirely why (especially since I have an intense fear of drowning) except that I always remember the girls deserted on far flung islands still being so glamourous, even with what little means they had around them.

Kara Ross knows a thing or two about making eye catching jewels, but it was the Cityscape cuffs from her forthcoming collection that really caught my attention. Crafted in 18kt gold plate and offset with stingray insets, the simple cuffs make for a seriously gorgeous minimalist statement piece. Each of the four Cityscape pieces is […]

Cool, utilitarian designs that take elements from the big sister line but are dialed down to be […]
Jun Takahashi is such a cool creative force. Doing things in his own unapologetically forward thinking way, it was refreshing to see his take on menswear invade the Pitti Uomo shows. Influenced by product designer Dieter Rams, Takahashi’s Undercover men’s collection for 2010 breathed a new kind of modernity and streetwear edge into techy menswear. […]
The designers behind Reality Studios know how to speak right to my weaknesses: muted colors, lots of layers, and easy, progressive shapes, but even cooler than the baggy, tailored pants and oversized collars is the inspiration behind them all.
