Sneaker of the day: Lanvin Embroidery High Trainer Sneakers

This pair of kicks is one of the item in my this year wish list. This expensive, Italian-made embroidered high trainer sneakers has round toe with rubber toe cap and serrated edging, reinforced metal eyelets and come with multi color beading and sequins on sides. Also come with quilted ribbing with beige suede edging along back of heel at top line. The upper is made up of calf skin leather. The insole is also leather with embossed logo of Lanvin.

Eco Fashion: Sanuk Launches Eco-Friendly Project - Rasta

In tandem with surf champion and Sanük team member Dave "Rasta" Rastovich, and echoing the Rastafarian ethos of natural living (no real connection here, just a cool coincidence), Sanük is rolling out a new line of environmentally friendly sandals that might make Bob Marley himself smile. As the leading edge of the brand’s Spring 2010 collection, its innovative RASTA Project (Recycled And Sustainable Trade Alliance) hopes to spark "One Love" among all peoples of the world, inspire a wave of "Jamming" and affirm its corporate mantra, "No Stiff Shoes, No Cry."















Some of the materials used in the RASTA line include:



· Sustainable latex and cork molded foot bed, featuring jute inlay detail

· Layered hemp upper, providing maximum comfort, with RASTA labeling

· Recycled tire outsole, gathered from neighboring factories

· Super-soft, recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) liner and toe post

· Completely vegan and vegetarian

Thank you Hayley for sharing this genius invention with me! I have a bit of a thing for Snuggies but the Sleeved Blanket is so much cooler and "because it's really, really annoying to have cold arms when reading in bed."

Man Fashion News: McQueen's Death hurts Fashion World

Yes, there are other big names: Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney and Paul Smith come to mind. But the sudden death of Alexander McQueen leaves a gaping hole at the center of London as well as the world fashion universe.



McQueen was Britain's shooting star, a man who helped make London cool again in the 1990s. And his personal history helped inspire others.



The son of a London cabbie, the youngest of six siblings, McQueen was a product of the streets, not a posh dilettante with a wealthy family to back his fashion whims.



Now he is gone, due to an apparent suicide that has not been confirmed by his family or the police. And fashion insiders don't see any heir apparent to the enfant terrible who turned catwalk shows into memorable works of performance art.



So what left behind was two unseen collections: one to be shown at Paris Fashion Week and one that was meant to be presented on the day of his death announcement, for his secondary line McQ.

oxford madness

Give your ballet flats a rest, and throw on a pair comfy yet classic oxfords. Designers are putting a new twist on these old school prepster shoes that will make you wanna wear them with everything! Rosario Dawson, Sienna Miller, and Whitney Port all work their oxfords with casual jeans and a slouchy tee. I found a few great pairs on Shopbop.com, the first pair are from Pour La Victoire, the second are Steve Madden (great price on those), and lastly are from Rag & Bone.

it's marisa tomei

Ever since My Cousin Vinny, Marisa Tomei has always been one of my favorite actresses. I just found these polaroid shots she did for Boy by Band of Outsiders at Chateau Marmont. They have a 1960's French vibe, which I loooove!

Man Fashion News: Evisu and Common projects collaborate

Contributed by Charlie

Cult denim brand Evisu have revealed their first collaboration with mature menswear brand Common Projects; they have joined forces to create a range of low and high top leather sneakers.

The collection showcases simple trainers in classic monochrome colours; the simple colour palette lets their minimalist designs speak for themselves. 

The CP logo on the heel of the shoe has been replaced with Japanese characters as a way of interacting with the Japanese heritage of Evisu; the designs sum up the ultimate in male sportswear luxe, the shoes represent the style of the modern and experienced man. 

Available from fall 2010 the designs open the door for new customers to embrace both Evisu and common projects. The collection is priced from $165.

New York Fashion Week: Marc by Marc Fall 2010 Collection

Marc Jacobs sat cross-legged on the floor backstage before his second runway show of the week. This one was for his secondary Marc by Marc line, which has a younger, more price conscious following than his signature line. Chatting calmly amidst a tangle of electrical wires, he didn’t look like a guy with stage fright.



As a secondary line, Marc by Marc may not generate nerves for the designer, but it does provide most of Mr. Jacob’s customers, so it’s a key collection.

Focus on melton wool trenches and cargo pants in olive drab; khaki twill rucksacks; even a black flight suit. And for your off-duty trips: cuffed sweatpants, herringbone overcoats, and a sharp patch-pocket wool blazer in subtle plaid.

New York Fashion Week: Adidas Y-3 Fall/Winter 2010 Collection

Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas Y-3 2010 Fall/Winter Collection was on show at New York Fashion Week two day ago. The long lasting collaboration has in recent years found innovative and unique ways to spark the runway.

He offered an extraordinarily dark take on love and romance for his Valentine's Day Y-3 show. Armed with tongue-in-cheek humor, splashes of bright color, and intriguing aesthetic contrasts, the label’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection brought a healthy dose of fun back to the runway.





Y-3 continues to be a great outlet for Yohji Yamamoto’s more technical approach to designing. Fall/winter 2010 promises to be another impressive collection as the Japanese designer continues to centre a large amount of his work around black.
