Water & Oil
Controversy ensues as Italian Vogue's spread on the oil-spill is called "insensitive." The shoot dramatically depicts bird-like models trapped and dying in oil. Dramatic imagery? yes. Insensitive? no. The shoot was meant to warn people to be careful with nature, said Franca Sozzani, editor in chief of the magazine. Still some readers wonder if the magazine went a little too far.
What do you think?
Provocative? or Insensitive?

Seeing the Future
The fashion accessories brand Nooka is out of this world with their futuristic accessories. Nooka was founded in 2005 by Matthew Waldman and can be purchased in boutiques worldwide and online. Nooka has had great success with their watches, but their dopest item has to be their sunglasses. The planetary themed glasses appropriately named Mercury and Venus will turn heads this summer. His inspiration comes from "Space travel and fantasies of chic aliens." Kick those Ray Bans and chain glasses to the curb earthlings and get yourself a pair of these before the rest of the world catches on.
First line of sunglasses: Mercury
Recently released “Venus” style glasses on sale NOW!

The Beat of Chic: Stephanie Solomon on Trends, Fashion, and more
Stephanie Solomon is a true trendsetter, responsible for finding the most fashion-forward merchandise for Bloomingdale's stores. The Syracuse University alumna is the operating fashion director for women’s ready-to-wear. Here are some of her tips for trend-spotting, trendsetting and more.
As a fashion buyer, Ms. Solomon must always have her eyes on ready to spot the next big thing. She must know and predict what American women want to wear and what they will buy in the upcoming season. Picking trends for a particular season begins with a marketing council meeting, where the fashion office meets with the visual and marketing departments to brainstorm ideas of themes for the upcoming season. She then has a guide to take with her to the runway shows. To decipher trends, she starts at "the big show" which she indicated was Marc Jacob's show. She also mentioned she extracts trends from the models backstage and guests that attend the shows. Models and guests are wearing what is on the runway and adapt them to be wearable.
Deciding trends is also about instinct and intuition. She picks and choose what feels right and what hasn't been done in a while. Its always a combination of influences and endless curiosity- studying your surroundings. Who is wearing what and why. Trends are about finding something that is already out in the culture and making it a product. After all the trends are collected, a powerpoint is put together with information and visuals and then sent to all the executives and certain staff of Bloomingdale's. These ideas are then incorporated into the catalog and advertisements. This translates to what we see in the store.
Although fashion buyers, celebrities, editors, and others in fashion do have a say in what trends are, the people who ultimately change, move, and shift fashion are the designers.
3 things to remember:
1. "Education happens when you listen and shut your mouth and do not let ego get in the way"
2. "Paris is center of all innovation in fashion"
3. "Get where you wanna be even if its for no money and you have to sweep at night"

Louis Stewart Bags
Louis Stewart’s name is starting to ring more and more bells as time passes. Word on the street is that the former Louis Vuitton employee’s bags will be the coveted accessory of the summer –IF you can find them. Celebrities such as Rick Ross, Dr. Dre, Drake, and Tyra Banks to name a few love Louis Stewart bags. These exquisitely created bags are not available in stores yet, and on www.LouisStewartCollection.com not a clue is given as to where to even begin to find these bags.
Exclusivity at its finest. As the man himself says, “If you have a Rolex, Bentley, a mansion, G-5 jet, fine jewelry, property and you travel the world - chances are you’re very aware of The Louis Stewart Collection”. You may not fall into this category but you have just been informed why Louis Stewart's name is hot on everyone's lips.
Don’t say I didnt tell you so...

Shopping Crack: Shoes Im Addicted To
So last night at our Dior event, our (Harper’s Bazaar) accessories editor Ana Maria was wearing some FABULOUS shoes. I mean she is the accessories editor so she would. They had a gold studded heel. I love golden anything so I could not stop staring. This morning I was determined to find them so after much googling I learned that they are Proenza Schouler BUT Spring 2008 L so there is no way I will find them online. I also learned that Carrie wore a pair in SATC so that’s probably why they were already sold out and wait-listed in the UK by the time they were released. Sad sad day for me.
Dear fashion gods if you are out there please send me a pair of these in a size 8 (38.5 UK).

Love always,

P.S. If you cant find those - These would be nice too. <3

A Toast to Fashion
Fashion blogging is a very predictable past time. Most self-proclaimed fashionistas spend their days self-timing their Nikon cameras and posting photos and comments on their outfits for the world to see. Then we have Rumi Neely. The author of Fashion Toast and the new face of Forever 21 is well on her way to stardom with a blog that is nothing short of amazing. ( her pictures can basically be out of a magazine) We can expect great things from her! Hopefully I can interview her for TheNextIsh.com Stay tuned for that!
Check out her blog: Fashion Toast

Paris Couture 2010
Elie Saab
Getting my daily dose of AM fashion I’m sad to say that I am a bit disappointed by the so-called couture shows. I always anticipate couture to be artistic and extravagant but looking through the recent Paris shows they were kind of hit or miss. Some were extremely artistic and unique like Givenchy, who nearly made me hyperventilate with excitement. Others looked more like ready to wear. Honestly, there was nothing I hadn’t seen before. Only Elie Saab slightly tickled my fancy in the originality area.
