T by Alexander Wang S/S 2012I was not crazy about Alexander Wang’s S/S 2012 collection, but I did rather like his T by Alexander Wang S/S 2012 selection. The minimal palette and lightweight fabrications gave the collection a really effortless grace. He did exactly what was meant to do with this collection, create beautiful everyday separates at a accessible price [...]

Jill Stuart S/S 2012I really like Jill Stuart. I know that if I ever want something that will make me feel really soft and feminine and look great on my body I will be able to find it in her store. The Jill Stuart S/S 2012 collection was more sweet than anything else. Her palm tree prints, pastel [...]

Untilted by Ian AddisonI just stumbled on this very visual series by Brooklyn based photographer Ian Addison – In 2010 Adisson’s always kept a small plastic camera in his bag and occasionally this camera would accidentally fire while inside to produce these colorful, abstract photos. These ancillary creations were

Prabal Gurung S/S 2012Contrary to all the media hype, I am really not much of a Prabal Gurung fan. Infact, I don’t recall ever having featured any of his collections on Trendland, but it seems that for S/S 2012 Prabal Gurung really stepped out of his comfort zone when he experimented with this very serious custom print, which [...]

Diane von Furstenberg S/S 2012Well as usual DVF had a lot to pick from on the print front for S/S 2012, but that was not the highlight for me. I really fell partial to the drapey color-blocked looks and the more tailored/boyish silhouettes. The combination of the soft palette and the novelty tops used for the tailored looks felt [...]

Robert Geller S/S 2012We saw a really nice Ready to Wear Collection by Robert Geller for S/S 2012. Geller took menswear essentials and threw in a nice edge to spice them up while keeping it broad enough and totally wearable. There was some nice textural layering happening in a lot of the looks, we saw a mesh peeking [...]

Porter Robinson: SpitfireBUY HERE Listen to “Spitfire” here Thank goodness for Porter Robinson. At only 19 years old, the North Carolina-native has come into electronic territory with an emotional potency. His track “Spitfire” tells its own story as it evolves and progresses from a slow-paced and darkened melody to an explosion of dominating electro.

RAD by Rad Hourani S/S 2012We always know to expect major androgyny from Rad Hourani, but this season crossed an invisible line for me that almost made me feel uncomfortable. I could not even feature many of the looks the guys were wearing because they were just too extreme. Maybe you may remember a piece I did on Men in [...]

MANIAMANIA’s The Third MindCult jewelry line MANIAMANIA is always good for a beautiful campaign, and this 3-part video “The Third Mind” is mind-blowing proof of that. Showcasing their new 2012 Spring Collection, the first film was released on The New York Times T Magazine site, while the second film, “Kaleidescope” was launched exclusively on none other than V Magazine.
