Basel, Switzerland: The Jewish Museum
The link between Jews and Switzerland isn't very obvious. When you think of the idea of Jews being persecuted, Switzerland doesn't immediately come to mind. I mean, Switzerland is supposed to be neutral, right? All of that horrible stuff only happened in Germany,...
OBSESSED / Maison Margiela Vintage Collar
K, this might be something that I will add to my survivor pack. I mean, a plastic collar shield might come in handy when those pesky vampires try to sink their fangs into you neck, right?Vintage Plastic Collar by MAISON MARGIELA, $6588.5”/21.5cm length / Circa:...
WANT / Loeffler Randall Cutout Silver Oxfords
A little while ago (well not so little, actually), we posted something about Loeffler Randall's Fall 12 silver mirror oxfords. This post is probably one of our most popular of all time! And why wouldn't it be -- those shoes are amazing! Well good...
ROME / Kook Restaurant
''Cuccina'' (Kitchen). ''Beviamo su'' (Let's drink). “Matto, furioso e privo di buon senso è chi del pasto non gode ogni senso” (Crazy, insane and devoid of any common sense is someone who eats a meal without enjoying it with all of the senses). Such...
MOMENT OF / Ab Envy
Bitch.
FW14 INSPO / Candy Darling
When I happened upon a documentary about Andy Warhol's once superstar actress, Candy Darling, I became obsessed. A stunning throwback to Marilyn Monroe, and a trailblazer for what we now know as trans women, Candy was caught between two moments in time. ...
PHOTOGRAPHY / Toronto’s Emerging Talent
We recently did a call out to all local up-and-coming photographers and were totally blown away by the level of talent and creativity that Toronto has to offer. Unfortunately we could only select one photographer, so we wanted to share some of these diamonds in...
MOMENT OF / Sweet Valley High
The Guardian recently ran a spread with a grainy, early 80's high-school-sports feeling replete with feathered hair, preppy V-neck sweaters, low-cut full piece swim suits, lots of socks, neoprene, and kilts. Other than the fact that the models are donning duds...
WANT / bald head helmet
I had no idea where this helmet came from, who made it, or why. Not until I dug a little deeper, and found out that it was part of a larger collection of weirdly printed helmets designed by Igor Mitin, creative director of the brand agency GOOD! So in case you...
Remembering Studio 54
Sixteen years ago I moved to New York and started what has become a rich, long & winding road in the world of fashion. I enrolled at F.I.T., moved into their dorms, fell head over heels in love with the city, and set out to rule the world.Exactly two weeks...
LOVE / Christy + Ed
Christy Turlington is once again the face of Calvin Klein Eternity, a mere 25 years later. But now, the steamy factor has been amplified by infinity. Because this time it is a video, and she is making out with her hot actor-director husband, Ed...
PACKED / the cottage
I saw the most amazing movie on Netflix last weekend called The White Masai. It is based on the book written by Swiss novelist Corinne Hoffman about her real life story of falling in love with an Afrian warrior (or masai) while on holidays with her boyfriend in...
OBSESSED / Valli Couture FW14
This pink overload look from Gambattista Valli's FW/14 Couture show last week in Paris is on my mind. Although I don't normally go for pink wedding dresses, this one would be more than acceptable.... Ya, I could do it.PS- there's the Vogue trio in...
BUCHAREST / Bicycle Bar
Thanks to Bicycle Bar, you no longer have to send your old, tired bicycle to R.I.P. in a local dumpster. That is, if you happen to be hanging out in Bucharest, Romania. This fun, happy place in the center of the city has charged itself with the mission of...
MOMENT OF / tutu on a beach
Take me there. Please. Now.
PARIS / Mama Shelter
Philippe Starck designed this boutique hotel located a little out of the way, in the 20th, but it has become the hip center of a rapidly up-and-coming area called SoPig (yes, that's really the nickname) -- Paris' answer to Nolita. One of the forces majeurs...
Remembering Chloé
I can't believe it's been more than 10 years since I worked at Chloé. I will never forget the day when they hired my as an intern (that's how I started!). That day I was a model dresser at the Chanel Haute Couture Show which, famously that season, was...
OBSESSED / bird embroidered sweater by McCartney
This is by far my favorite piece from the resort 2015 collections - a bird-embroidered motif on the back of a chunky sweater by Stella McCartney. Love.
LISBON / Memmo Alfama Hotel
A modern oasis in the heart of Lisbon, the Memmo Alfama is a boutique hotel located up on the hill near the São Jorge Castle overlooking the River Tagus. When hotelier Rodrigo Machaz decided to resurrect this 19th century building - surfboard tucked under his...
