Cole Haan Fall 2010: Upping the Bag Quotient

WHO KNEW?

First Look: Jimmy Choo The Sneaker Collection


Available this summer at $600 a pop is the capsule collection by Jimmy Choo. A lux label we can see trying really hard lately to get our attention. Are they attempting to get the lust of the female sneaker lovers or the high end fashionistas? Will ‘Choo kicks’ become the new Prada or Gucci sneakers ? The black high tops and the snake low tops are not bad. Can’t help thinking the collabo route might have been better for them tough… On the next page a closer look at the Jimmy Choo sneaker collection, via Nylon.

Louis Vuitton ‘Denim Suprise’ Bag

Louis Vuitton’s spring collection has arrived on its website and denim looks are clearly a part of the mix. This one is called “Denim Surprise.” It wouldn’t be my first choice for an LV bag, but if I were a rich girl I would own it. It’s just too perfect as a summer item. Via Denimology.

A Visit to Grenson

Style Salvage is spending some time with the Grenson line from England. “Grenson Shoes have been one of England’s master shoemakers since 1866. Manufactured from the highest quality leather, they are assembled in traditional shoe making styles making them both comfortable and stylish. Along with the well documented fact that they use Goodyear welting, one of the things that really sets this brand apart from other manufacturers is the finishing of the shoes. Over the coming weeks I am going to return to this exciting brand with more focus but for the benefits of this post I want to highlight just a few of the things that caught my eye and captured my shoeist imagination during my showroom visit…”

Aston Martin Rapide Watch Key


Yes, you read it right. This watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre($33,000) can be used as the key to your Aston Martin. It will lock/unlock it, flash the headlights(probably not necessary unless you park your A.M. at the dealership) and start the car. All of this while remaining quite stylish. Bond would be very proud!

Vivienne Westwood Autumn 2010


WWD gives their view of Vivienne Westwood Autumn 2010 collection. “The iconoclastic British designer’s latest unlikely fashion hero is the vagrant, who inspired a gutsy blend of artfully worn-in leather coats, layered chunky knitwear, stained denim and slouchy wool suits.” Note the heavy denim and things to come with Westwood and future collaborations.
