Garance Doré + Jil Sander Navy

Monday, September 20th, 2010

Parisienne blogger Garance Doré was asked by minimalist design brand Jil Sander to shoot an ad campaign for the spring capsule collection of it’s bridge line Jil Sander Navy, and the resulting images are—naturally—fantastically chic and beautiful.

HSBC Shoedown!

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

We had lunch and a cup of coffee with the ladies and of course, the big honchos of HSBC. We were there to talk about one thing: SHOES!

They had a little game where we had to match five “muses” with their respective shoe personalities. The gorgeous women were Alexandra Rocha (of Pinkerton Ice Cream), model Raya Mananquil, bag designer Rocio Olbes, fashion designer Stacy Rodriguez, and all-around diva Tessa Prieto Valdes!

The shoe personalities, meanwhile, were Shoe Shy, Shoe Artiste, Shoe Diva, Shoe Setter and Shoe Biz.  If you have been following us on Twitter, then you would’ve been updated as to which personality belonged to which woman.

The cause of this fun event is the new collaboration between HSBC and Charles & Keith—something that all ladies will surely love. Just by applying for HSBC’s Red MasterCard (and using it, of course!), you will get three gorgeous pairs of shoes for FREE. You hear us, ladies? FOR FREE!

Let us share some of the pictures we took!

Shoes are definitely one of our weaknesses and being in a room filled with shoes was just so much fun!

Now, here are the muses and their shoe personalities:

Forever 21 x Brian Lichtenberg

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

A few weeks ago, news about Forever 21’s first designer collaboration was all over the blogs and fashion websites. Our friends from SM (who brought the brand here) actually confirmed that LA-based designer, Brian Lichtenberg, indeed, has created a T-shirt line for the California-based label, and said that “whatever is available in the States, will be available here.”

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the anticipated collection has just arrived and hits the store today!
