The last weeks have been packed with visits to the press-agencies and showrooms in Amsterdam, to catch a glimpse of the S/S ’12 collections. This is part I of a compilation of the things we came across and liked. Whether it was the overall presentation, or items that caught our eye. Check it out after the jump! >>>
Break your neck on these graphic killer heels from Acne. Only for the real dare devils. The heel measures 12,5 cm. Made of black and patent leather. We like!
Together with Acne Studios, Luis Venegas Editor in Chief of Candy Magazine has created a collection of three shirts. Working on the idea of a classic western shirt, but playing with detail and proportion, the end result is a fun take on masculine versus feminine. All styles are all offered in silk crepe and Italian denim; the later in two washes, stonewashed and bleached. The shirts are named after one of Luis favourite TV series, Dynasty. The shirt with a dramatic bow at the neck is called “Alexis” as a tribute to Joan Collin’s role. The one with big sleeves reminded Luis of the role Linda Evans played so it’s called “Krystle” and the shirt with ruffles at neck and wrists has the playful personality of Heather’s Locklear role and is called “Sammy Jo.”
Last Queensday weekend inspired me to write my first post as a Digitalisto. As
Queensday approaches, everybody is wondering what to do. Queensday is a
national holiday where we celebrate our queen’s birthday. It is
tradition to sell your old stuff at a flea market early in the morning. My wifey F. and friend I. decided to sell old clothes, shoes, accessories etc. on Queensday and I was there to help out and sell some of my own old stuff.
These lovely peep toes from Acne can make up your day immediately! Well, it does happen with us.
We already like Acne as a fashionbrand, but the Swedish are also very good at making furniture. And this furniture, presented in Paris this weekend, has the same minimalistic and stylish feel as the clothes…
Just a week away from Christmas you might need some help with your X-mas shopping, so let’s give you a hand! We made X-mas wishlists in different color-themes. They are all christmassy, winter themes… We went green, red and white, and today we start with ‘green’.
