Trends...Baby Style

Hey guys!

I just got back from the Baby Phat show and surprise, surprise...the clothing was actually pretty nice (all things considered of course). The theme was Moroccan Kiss and the clothing was laced with brightly colored dresses, blouses, knits and swimwear. The looks were dripping in gold jewelry and accessories.

Before the show started I spotted Amber Rose and I just had to take a pic!

And your girl Kim was in the building!

Kristinit: The LOVE Campaign

Kristinit introduces its Fall 2009 Collection: the LOVE Campaign. Its mission—a holistic approach to high fashion, one that links social responsibility with sumptuous, sustainable fabrics and playfully classic designs.

The collection embraces versatility and elegance. The 30’s-era classicism of knee-grazing hemlines and belted day dresses play hopscotch with Victorian demureness and Faye Dunaway '60's chic. And attention to detail is key to the collection, like dramatic circle sleeves that bring daintiness to smoky, monochromatic tunics.

Bag-A-Licious

Jonathan Kelsey knows a thing or two about designing—working with Jimmy Choo, Mulberry and Emilio Pucci has helped paved the way of a successful shoe designer. But now Kelsey has a new project, and this time it doesn’t include fashion for the sole.

Kelsey and Belvedere Black Raspberry, will unveil a striking new limited-edition overnight bag: The Belvie. The leather, oversized bag even features a secret compartment for a bottle of Belvedere Black Raspberry—perfect for the girl on the move.

“It’s the perfect slouchy summer bag into which you throw everything you need, daytime or night time,” says Kelsey.

The best part, though? It was created in collaboration with Grammy Award-winning recording artist, Estelle. As the embodiment of playful style and attitude, Estelle will co-host a global launch of The Belvie with Jonathan Kelsey.

Need plans for the weekend? Head over to the pop-up store where you can pick up a complimentary Jonathan Kelsey tote featuring the new Belvedere Black Raspberry ad campaign and learn about the process of maceration.

The bag retails for $1,400 and will be available at Jeffrey NY. Visit http://www.macerationisnatural.com for additional information—including updates on retail locations.

Making a Splash at Splashlight Studios

After fine-tuning his fur skills as Design Director for Ann Dee Goldin of fur house Goldin Feldman, Orlando Lopez partnered with fashion stylist Felix Fletcher and started their own label in March ‘06. But now, the duo (which, by the way are very cute) have a ready to wear collection that’s non-fur, perfect for the chic uptown woman (such as myself) and the edgy downtown girl. The new RTW collection is filled with cocktail dresses, pants, blouses in hints of metallic and bold hues like electric blue and auburn orange.

Tonight marked the debut for the fall/winter ‘08/’09 RTW collection that was on display at the Splashlight Studios’ new Soho location. And with a combination of live models and cocktails courtesy of Ty-Ku and H2O courtesy of SmartWater, the event was glamorous, beautiful, and most of all, unforgettable.
