And the Winner is… Sophie Theallet!
Posted by newsamyork on November 18, 2009 at 10:57am
I had the pleasure of interviewing France born - Brooklyn based designer - Sophie Theallet back in Feburary for the Celeste Duquesne website. Sophie was fantastic to interview and is one of the realest, warmest people I’ve met in fashion. Her Fall 2009 collection was absolutely beautiful - her clothes have no fuss, no frills - just simple and sophisticated detail. It comes as no surprise that she won the coveted…

Posted by SKAGGS on June 27, 2008 at 10:47am
An interview with NYC’s self-titled Mexican Socialite, Set Designer and style guru Manuel (Manny) Norena. From his colorful upbringing in Mexico (think bodyguards and palatial digs) to the calm of Salt Lake City, Manny tells us about his work, his loves, and his sizzling-hot tips on doing Summer Manny Style. Plus, he dishes the dirt on working with SKAGGS. Yes, we’re brave enough to publish it. Just remember, you heard it…

The Revolution will be Fabulous
Posted by newsamyork on May 08, 2008 at 3:36pm
I’m all about random designer luxury goods. Not so much the handbags, umbrellas and cell phone cases. More like KVD’s Chanel Surfboard and my Mark Jacobs Bean Bags (courtesy of Cara). I see them not as luxury goods - but more like works of fashion art. When I came across Peter Gronquist’s latest exhibition at the Gallery 1998 in LA, I positively leapt out of my chair…

Karl Lagerfeld + Grand Theft Auto 4
Posted by newsamyork on April 10, 2008 at 10:29am
Just when I thought that the video game world couldn’t get any better, it was announced this week that Karl Lagerfeld, hater of children, lover of fish and creator of some of the most beautiful pieces today, will be playing a role in the much anticipated Grand Theft Auto 4. He’ll DJ on air at the game’s K109 The Studio station. Rockstar Games has produced a Lagerfeld…

SKAGGS Focus: Rick Haylor
Posted by SKAGGS on April 01, 2008 at 10:53am
From designer divas and celebrity stylists to snooty editors and glamazon models, fashion photography in New York City is a notoriously cut-throat business. So what sorts the men from the boys? We straightened our shoulders, sucked in our paunch, and struck our best pose to ask RICK HAYLOR about life in the fashion fast lane, what it’s like backstage at Mercedes-Benz NYC Fashion Week, and how to pull off…

Flowers For Kate [Last Kate Moss Post ‘07]
Posted by newsamyork on December 17, 2007 at 10:44am
Ok, I promise that is my last Kate Moss post of 2007. The SHOWstudio website and blog always have amazing fashion footage and I think their whole concept of “fashion live” is fantastic.
Their latest project was Flowers For Kate, a (literally) fresh perspective on fashion.
In a nutshell, Kate Moss was due to be shot for a story in V Magazine, SHOWstudio offered a unique…

Mancunians + Model Mania
Posted by newsamyork on December 14, 2007 at 10:48am
I’m a self confessed model fan — Kate, Lily, Gemma, Chanel, Irina and of course Agyness Deyn.
She’s my absolute favorite and not just because she won Model of the Year....She’s feisty, pixie and punk yet sophisticated and she’s from my home town of Manchester...her infamous cover on POP magazine came with the tagline - “Agyness - The world’s most Mancunian…

The Never Ending Story
Posted by newsamyork on October 11, 2007 at 11:00am
Dazed and Confused rekindled my childhood memories with their remake shoot of The Never Ending Story for their October Issue.(Hurrah for Falcor!)
Shot by Daniel Sannwald, you can see more about the Dazed + Confused shoot here and even watch a short film produced during the shoot. Rumor has it - they bumped this cover for an amazing Bjork shoot (it’s brilliant). I think…

A Very Cool Hair Salon in Iceland
Posted by Jonina on September 20, 2007 at 9:11am
Iceland is more than just volcanic spa baths, vikings and vodka…
It’s my motherland and home to some of the most cutting edge artists, talented musicians and fashion designers and interestingly enough, hair stylists. We’ve just completed a website for Harbeitt, a premier hair salon in Hafnafj??rdur, Iceland, that truly represents the cool fun and down to earth people that work there.
Harbeitt…

In collaboration with Kim-Van Dang at KVDNYC, we designed and produced a visually stunning identity and collateral system, Spring ‘08 Look Book and website for Lovenia.

Before & After
Posted by newsamyork on August 01, 2007 at 11:13am
There’s been quite a lot of media coverage over the last few weeks on retouching and just how far editors, and advertisers go to ensure that the photographed subjects look absolutely perfect. We recently wrapped on a fashion shoot for Lovenia (more news on that to come!) and whilst the model was absolutely breathtaking in person and on her original pictures, the retouched images show her looking simply divine—no bags under…

Brand Killers…
Posted by newsamyork on June 07, 2007 at 11:10am
We all know that the world of fashion is extremely fickle and that exclusivity is pretty much key. I recently found an interesting article on HRH Posh Spice and her ability to kill a brand.
It brought me back to a long and heated discussion I once had regarding Burberry and their right to stop producing their infamous check because it was being “cheapened” by individuals they did not…

Cory Kennedy: A Shining Example of Internet Celebrity
Posted by newsamyork on May 08, 2007 at 11:26am
As the internet continues to make stars out of ordinary folk (Lonelygirl15, Tila Tequila, Perez Hilton) and a plethora of party-kids on the big city night life scenes The Misshapes, Last Nights Party and The Cobra Snake), the general public continues to lap it up and demand more, there’s a new star born almost every week.
Ok, so I’m late in blogging about this, but…

Vivienne as a Mentor?
Posted by Jonina on April 11, 2007 at 4:48pm
A couple of weeks ago I visited the de Young Musuem in San Francisco to see the Vivienne Westwood: 36 Years in Fashion exhibit. What a great show! It was just so incredibly inspiring to look at Vivienne’s work and to see how she grew from a “sex clothes” designer to a punk and then into a haute couture designer. I wish there were more females in the fashion industry that would…

Fafi!
Posted by Elspeth on March 21, 2007 at 2:25pm
Sam and I had more fun than should be legal at the opening for Fafi’s gorgeous new collection for LeSport Sac. Liquorice cocktails, waitresses in hotpants and sculptures of busty pin-up girls frozen in ice turned the venue in Chelsea into a Fafi-esque dreamscape.
Fafi is one of my idols - not only because of…
