True to It’s Calling, Comme Des Garçons Delivers Avant-Garde for H&M
With the countless Target GO International collections and the occasional H&M-designer collaboration, you would expect the coming together of high-street and high-end fashion to at least sit well with me.

The collection, which is set to hit high-end department stores […]

This post originally started as a little blurb about the Ronson family and their recent Royal Tenenbaum’s inspired photoshoot for Harpers Bazaar.

A couple months ago, TV execs here in the U.S. literally had their panties in a bunch over Eva Mendes’ sexualized commercial for Calvin Klein’s Secret Obsession perfume. Evidently, certain panties could not be unravelled and the television networks went on to rebuff the TV ad all together.

If David Beckham is the source of inspiration for Victoria Bekcham’s jeans collection for men, then I can see why Kitson, Victoria’s go-to boutique in Los Angeles, turned down the idea to carry the men’s line. Victoria confessed to DNR that her husband’s comfort and sensibilities were what she had […]

It’s been a good while since I last slipped into a pair of Keds (the athletic Pro-Keds line to be exact), but the time away has not changed my endearment for the shoe. Rather, as I grew out of Pro-Keds, I matured into the more sophisticated, all-white Keds Champion. From […]

Ever since spying one of the new Topshop ‘on the buses’ ads, I am suddenly harbouring an irrepressible urge to buy a bowler hat. They’ve been creeping in for a while of course, a quaint and charming replacement for the over-exposed trilby or ubiquitous headband, but I’ve always admired them […]
