Anastasija Kondratjeva in Erdem's Tomoko sunnies
A collaboration between two amongst London’s sea of talents – the iconic eyewear label Cutler & Gross and the celebrated fashion label Erdem – resulted in something magnificent. With its colourful Kyoto watercolour-printed frame in classic sixties style, it looks like this edgy pair of Tomoko sunnies (£290.00) from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection is the perfect accessory to accompany me during the flamboyant season whether in the city of by the beach. Mmm… Fantastic!

Urban Outfitters’ Jonathan Readers
Urban Outfitters, one of our favorite retailers, is holding a $5 sales online. One of the items we are snatching up on is… none other than this pair of Jonathan Readers glasses. With its black plastic round frames, these glasses make us fit perfectly at the Harry Potter party. Whether it’s to get down and dirty with R-Patz, who played the late Cedric Diggory or to play chess with the ever-so-bright Ms. Granger, these vintage-inspired frames sure make us look like a true visionary.
With a price tag of $2.99, I am pretty sure these frames will fly out in a broom stick in a jiffy. So grab it NOW!

See Me Under The Sun in Proenza Schouler's Sunnies!
Today, we revisit Spring/Summer 2009. Something I totally missed oh-so-unfortunately from that glorious season is Proenza Schouler’s funky sunglasses (USD $310.00). I like them, because the rounded frames add a quirky yet chic touch to any outfit, any look. The best thing of all, I find about them, is that they look great whether surfing in the Beach or cruising around the City.
Proenza Schouler’s sunglasses come in an envelope-style textured brown leather soft case with snap closure. Dust cloth included. Available at La Garçonne.

Riding in car with Hanne
@ Tsim Sha Tsui:
- @ Miss Sixty: Collection looks very in trend with today; and in that way, everything seemed a little safe. Nonetheless, for women, we spotted a fierce jumpsuit with animalia print, black jacket with lavish fur sleeve – very Givenchy in appearance indeed – and a crazy graffiti bubble dress; for men, we liked the tie dye jumpers. It’s very cool!
- @ Energie: Energie has power popeye Tees. 100% mighty cool!
- @ Vivienne Westwood: Be outstanding and have wild fun wearing her leopard print multi-color-stripped dress!
- @ Moussy: The Tees are so nice to touch. You just don’t want to stop touching it. Anyway, they also have some pants with a print that looks very much like Alexander McQueen’s signature dogtooth print. It’s a good alternative, but Moussy’ll never be the same as McQueen.
- @ Y-3: Trompe l´oeil seems to be an ‘it’ thing in fashion these days. Y-3 also has Tees with those lively prints.
- @ Lane Crawford: In love with green framed sunnies from Gucci and Prada.
- @ Joyce: Love the beautiful cut in Damir Doma’s collection. It instantly makes me want to be a man!
- @ Y’s Yohji Yamamoto: Sales staff at Y’s Yohji Yamamoto looked so super bored. *yawn yawn yawn*
- @ Missoni. Saw a huge billboard with Hanne’s face. It made me feel like I was cruising freely with her away from the great flood of people and in the beautiful country side[1]. Oh… It makes me want their catalog/lookbook so badly, but they probably don’t have one for customers.
- @ Dsquared: An instore event attracted lots of very important fashion people and a handful of wannabes hanging instore and outside sipping bubbly champagne and enjoying the high life. Spotted woman wearing Givenchy open toe bootie and Balmain power pagoda shoulder jacket. She looked like a fashion victim.
Endnote:
[1] The campaign was shot at Floyd Bennett Airfield in Brooklyn, as revealed by Supreme Blog.

Russian Model Anna Gushina in Hussein Chalayan Beehive-shaped sunnies
I must admit: I was extremely surprised when I found out Hussein Chalayan’s collection this season did not contain any loud messages concerning mother earth. I guess if this collection was to visit that familiar ground in the same sort of explosive way as previously, it would seem tedious and tiring, so I am glad he took a break from that. Nonetheless, this collection is still a delight with a load of avant-garde trends that will surely become the heart of fashion’s ‘it’ trend next season.

Lily Donaldson is the Face of Joop!
I know Lily’s fans are just going to hate me, but I have to say it: I hate it! I hate it! I just hate it! This season’s faces (Lily Donaldson and Sean O’pry) with all their respective mega status and perfect looks just turn me off. There is nothing I hate more than looking at over-the-top beautiful people. Thank god, they only have 4 images in the lookbook – all of the rest are glorious runway images. Juhu!

Sasha Pivovarova and Kate Moss are the faces for Longchamp
With British IT-girl Kate Moss and red hot Russian Sasha Pivovarova in the house, you know the ad campaign and the accompanying collection is sizzling hot.
With a colour pool of blue as background shade, a distinctive cool vibe vibrates all throughout the lookbook showing off a collection, which is conspicuously smart, casual and classy.
With its exquisite and rich finishing touches, the range of products - from the belts to the bags and the wardrobe – is simply scrumptious. Outstanding pieces include a suitcase made with exotic python skin and a shoulder bag in a digitalised colour palette in the shades of the rainbow. It is very eccentric.
Above all, there is also this season’s IT bags, which has the words “Ceci est un IT bags” printed on it to identify its IT status. Now, even before the dumbest of dumb knows.

Latvian model Inguna Butane shows off the Spring Summer 2009 Collection from Furla
I was not so sure about having Inguna as the face of Furla at first, because you have to admit: when I speak of her name nowadays, I can only think of lingerie and… lingerie!
But the button-cute Latvian beauty is more than just a lingerie model. This season, she is the perfect match to show off Furla’s subdued spring/summer 2009 collection, which focuses on lightness and a timeless classical allure.
Over the past, Furla has been quiet and this campaign with its washed out images is still very quiet, too; but the statement it is making is simply louder than a thunderstorm: it screams out understated elegance and timeless design at its best.
I especially like the details and the exquisite touches that have been specifically placed on each of the bags this season. With a creamy palette at large, light colours are ‘it’ this season. But heaven is not as monotonous as it seems, as the collection has been infused with a dash of classic red and lush candy green. The overall effect is simply divine!

Versaces Vision to the Future
The people, who view Ms. Versace as merely a typical blonde, is utterly underestimating the power of blondness, as she once again exhibits a praise-worthy collection that silently screams out: “Is there anything Donatella cannot do?”
