Fur reals

So much ridiculousness and awesomeness goes down the runways that never makes it into production cause someone decides not enough people will fork over the green for it at the end of the day. When I saw this piece of fur fluff from the Margiela Fall 10 show, I definitely was like "psssssh, that's just a show stopper, not a money maker." Well guess what, this massive murmansky fur headdress is now a reality and can be yours for the special price of $4450! I'd like to see someone wear this to meet the Queen.

Squashed

Look at these craze Jil Sander boots I stumbled across on ebay! It looks like your toes got ran over by a mack truck or a herd of angry holiday shoppers at Walmart (too soon?). Woah! I wonder if it's weird to walk in these babies. Anyone have any clue what season they are from? I'd love to see them in context...like on a person.

Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

Name that quote! I'm filled with 'em these days and I'm not even getting my money's worth from Netflix. At any rate, mouths are cool and curse words are only cool when you're not being serious. I remember when I thought it was funny calling everyone "FOCKER". That movie is the best.

Don't eat the apple

Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeen! I hope yours was sweet, scary, or at best hard to remember. I'm telling you, spandex costumes are the way to go...it makes dancing a whole lot easier!

Who doesn't love a pop-up shop?

It seems around this time of year, the cool urban centers of the world start sprouting up pop-up shops to kick off the holiday season. Tonight, Brooklyn's Rouge 58 gallery will open The Arche, a pop-up boutique running for two weeks only, combining emerging talent and established designers in both fashion and jewelry. This inaugural installment will reflect the dark minimalism that has become an essential element of New York style. Playing on the industrial space of the gallery, clothes will be displayed suspended at different lengths from chains, whilst jewelry will be displayed hanging from a pillar in the middle of the store using satin ties and encased in a jewelry box.

Participating Designers:
Mary Meyer (Woman’s Wear)
Trouble And Bass (T-shirt line)
Sea Sick Mama (T-shirt line)
Ambit (Jewelry)
By Natalia (Jewelry)
Lacee Swan (T-shirt line)
Slimm Jones (T-shirts and tote bags)
Britney Thomas (Jewelry) (website under construction)
