This wink's for you

If you're familiar with model Abbey Lee, you can probably accurately describe the shape of her lovely lady lumps as she's got to be close to holding the record for most naked fashion editorials. Just when I thought I'd seen enough of them, I see this shot from the winter issue of i-D. It's pretty genius if you ask me. Well done, David Bailey! Why didn't they make this a centerfold? Oh yeah, this isn't Playboy.

Throwback

There's a handful of designers I carefully watch on ebay for rare and amazing stuff that pops up from time to time. Take Japanese iconic designer Issey Miyake for example. If you are into his vintage creations or 80s graphics in general, these sweatshirts might interest you. They were never available for purchase (talk about limited!), but instead were made for the staff that worked the mens collections in Paris each season. Some have portraits of Issey and others have dates indicating the season..definitely a great collector's item if you are into this sort of thing (too bad bidding is now over)!

Strawberry soup

Are we tired of the kool-aid dipped hair steelo yet? Not me, but someone, somewhere is rolling their eyes.

Who fun? Sheefun

Sheefun is on such a roll, and I'm totally hanging on for the ride. If the name doesn't ring any bells in the fashion attic of your brain, but the name Ann-Sofie Back DOES, well get used to hearing them together. Google Sheefun Chan, and you're reminded of (or instantly wowed by?) the blood dripping sunglasses the accessories designer created for Back's Fall 09 horror-themed collection. Those shades sold like hotcakes, and you can still get them on Sheefun's site! For Ann-Sofie's Fall 10 collection, Sheefun was at it again, accenting the sci-fi vibes with everything from dented silver jewelry to a bullet tiara and a leather "POW" clutch with sharp-angled sunglasses to match. It's all just so damn good.

any NEWS?

There are some showrooms in NYC you can rely on for having quality sales every season and The News is definitely one of them. They represent a nice roster of labels, including Cheap Monday, who's jeans typically get marked down to $10-$20 at this sale (I'm talking tables full). So here's your advanced warning if you need some pants or have had your eye on anything from other radsters like Kimberly Ovitz or Shipley & Halmos. See you next week!
