Kanye West Goes Stylish For 808’s & Heartbreak

Kanye West will release his inner fashionist … ahem singer on November 25th, with a new album called 808’s & Heartbreak.

I’m so impressed by his promotional pictures, I just can’t take my eyes off. I’ve always been fascinated by Androids! And to have the honor of seeing a black one is overwhelming! (it must have something to do with the elections!) This reminds me of that recent movie with Eddie Murphy, Meet Dave (so much for being original, Kanye!). Oh well, sneakers with a suit, nothing’s changed. The classic pocket handkerchief transformed into a polka dots red heart with a black flash crossing over is crashingly stylish! Oh, Kanye, I so wish you stick to your singing and put a leash on that fashionist self of yours! Let the professionals take care of outfit details! You, rock that stage like you know how to! (looooved your first album! Keep it going!) (via)

Citröen 2CV By Hermès

When it comes to leather works, there’s nothing like a good original Hermes. (I could suffer the insult of a Hermès-imitation, just for the flattery!)

This very special Hermes tops Katie Holmes Haute de Courroies! By far! It’s the legendary Citröen 2CV, Hermès-treated. It’s the 60th anniversary gift for the tiny 2CV and was introduced at the Paris Motor Show, on October 7. Hermès detailed the natural leather trim from the door facings, the interior rearview mirror, the gear knob, steering wheel and driver’s sun visor. (more after the jump)

Christy Turlington For Roberto Coin Ad Campaign

Trying to gather as much information as possible about the Roberto Coin Gold Clutch, I came across Christy Turlington. She’s the face for Roberto Coin’s Fall Winter 2008 2009 ad campaign.

I thought she looks beautiful (as always) and that you had to see her too. Even if there’s an ounce of photoshop to the campaign (because of the jewelry), for the sake of flawlessness, let’s forget about it and concentrate on Christy. The pictures were taken by Inez and Vinoodh. More pictures and a clip from the makings of this campaign follow right after the jump!

The New Raf Simons Flagship Store From Tokyo

Belgian menswear designer Raf Simons opened a new store recently. Located in Tokyo, Japan, this store is one delightful work of art.

When I was little, I had these artistic tryouts and designer tribulations that (almost every time) ended with a splash on the very tableau I was working on. Terribly involved and passionate about my artistic expressions, I wanted to have everything perfectly mirrored on the sketches board. In case that did not happened (which was rather current, I’m afraid!), I dipped deep my pencil in any color (a dark one, preferably) and splashed everything in a completely blind frenzy. Now I know I should’ve gone the artistic way and followed my splash instincts!

Would You Wear The Roberto Coin Gold Clutch?

The spark-full season approaches! For that reason and a million more, this Roberto Coin Gold Clutch should be the trigger for some serious shine-thoughts.

The Clutch is in fashion these days. Metallic gold is too. So why not put the two of them together for a smashing result? The Roberto Coin Gold Clutch is pretty, is trendy and it’s made of gold! Na-na, it’s not a joke! This Roberto Coin Gold Clutch is made of specially treated leather covered by a 24k yellow gold layer. There’s also a 18k yellow gold chain and a diamond encrusted 18k yellow gold bracelet. If you fear anonymity, don’t! The RC initials with encrusted diamonds on the clasp and the signature ruby on the side of the clutch are there to save you! (more after the jump)

Cavalli Goes Lagerfeld

I know, I know, but it was so beautiful and crazy hilarious, I had to bring it on! For a special Halloween flavor!

Actually, this event happened last year, on Halloween night, precisely, at Cipriani’s, NY. Roberto Cavalli dressed up to the very ponytail like the Kaiser! I don’t know if that shall be done again this year, but it was a funny, great idea! Who should do who next? I propose Marc Jacobs as Dame Vivienne Westwood! (photo via ontdff)

Tattoos – Fashion Or Cosmetic Rebellion?

Each adolescent today seems to be carrying some eagerness to stand out with own means. Not that wasn’t common for any adolescent, everywhere, anytime, all times. But today’s adolescents seem to be thinking of one way to recreate uniqueness – through skin embellishments and jewelry enhancements (and I’m not talking necklaces, rings, earrings or bracelets!).

Tattoos. We’ve all been there at least once in our lives. Either it was a simple, innocent mark on the skin as a forget-not-note, either it was a tiny temporary holiday tattoo. Or serious ink. The kind that doesn’t go away, the kind that stays on even when you’ll be 50, 60 or 80 years old!
