I Love Your Shopstyle: Geometric
One might see this picture as a scrambled abstract but not Historie Girl. She pulled inspiration from the geometric pattern and created a striking Victorian-inspired ensemble. Her color choices are spot-on and I can't take my eyes off those Dries van Noten canvas and leather sandals.
Trend Alert: Anchored
Um, who knew getting anchored could be so sexy? This girl named Bebe did. Summer always starts earlier than June 21st per moi.
I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf
On the latest episode of Gossip Girl, Blair went off the deep end, and I loved every bit of it. The Archibald's family soiree was the perfect opportunity for the Yale reject to behave badly in a body-con navy spliced dress by Herve Leger, a beige embellished Joie cardi, and patent pumps. For accessories, Blair adorned herself with a stand-out anchor pendant necklace by Urban Minx — I like how the pearls are intertwined with the gold chains.
Glitterati: Giles & Brother
Jewelry creator extraordinaire Philip Crangi has dazzled us with his raw approach to design for a while now. What happens when you throw another Crangi into the mix? Giles & Brother.
Fab Flash: And the CFDA Fashion Awards Winners Are . . .
Last night brought in the upper echelon of fashion-design talent into a hub of fashion frenzy as everyone gathered at the New York Public Library awaiting the announcement of this year's CFDA winners. Celebrities showed up to lend their support but what's really important here are the winners. And they are .
Reminder! Gap Design Editions Arrive Tomorrow April 15
Mark your Blackberry calendars — Gap Design Edition, Take Two makes its much-anticipated entrance tomorrow, April 15. Cutting-edge women's white shirts and dresses, designed by 3.1 Phillip Lim, Threeasfour, Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian, and more, will be available both online and in stores.
Last year jewelry lovers and men were neglected, this year Philip Crangi has whipped up black and white resin cuffs, and Michael Bastian has created a men's white shirt.
Sneak Peek! Gap Design Editions With Phillip Lim and More
The newest crop of Gap Design Editions are going to be in stores before we know it: April 15 is only a few weeks away! For this round, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian, and Threeasfour all riffed on the classic white button-down ($78-$88), and Philip Crangi whipped up black and white resin cuffs ($45). I still wear the Rodarte Design Edition top I picked up last year; it's definitely not your typical white shirt.
On Our Radar: Gap Design Editions With Phillip Lim and More
Last year's Gap Design Editions invited Rodarte, Doo.Ri, and Thakoon's to rework the classic white shirt, and this year we'll see what 3.1 Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian, Philip Crangi, and Threeasfour can do.
For the collection, which debuts in stores April 15, Phillip Lim created four pieces: a tie-neck shirt, a bell-sleeve ruched shirt, and a layered-sleeve top, all $78, Band of Outsiders concocted a patchwork tunic ($88), and Threeasfour designed a camisole ($78) and a cutaway dress ($88).
The Design Editions will also incorporate menswear and jewelry this year, which is where Michael Bastian and Philip Crangi come in.
Trend Alert: Moody Flora
It's so fitting that I'm listening to Radiohead while I bring you some moody flora. Just when we've been convincing you to fight the darkness of the shorter Winter days with bright colors, gloomy and gray floral patterns emerge. But these don't have to bring you down, see this crisp Cruise frock by Giambattista Valli?
Glitterati: Philip Crangi
Jewelry designer Philip Crangi may have been born in the wrong century — he trained as a goldsmith, and is inspired by the long-past Greco-Roman and baroque periods — but he makes it work.
Together with his sister, Philip combines old-world techniques and materials to create beautiful heirloom pieces that are simultaneously very modern. Gold, wrought iron, and steel are the materials of choice, and their craftsmanship is such that they earned Philip Crangi Jewelry a nomination for the 2007 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award — no easy feat.
