The Uniform ProjectCould you wear the same outfit everyday for a year? Well, Sheena Matheiken is doing the unthinkable for a worthy cause.
She will don the same dress (don’t fret germafreaks she has multiples a’la Superman) for a full year. The challenge is for the charming fashion imp to rework the same black tunic dress into a different chic ensemb each day with vintage and donated accessories.
Matheiken’s penchant towards uniforms stems from her upbringing in India where peers showed their unique style by pushing the limits of their required school uniforms.

Bernhard Willhelm AW 08/09 WomenPicked up this insane lookbook last year at Creatures of Comfort [and by insane that refers to the cover page photography, the styling, and the clothing alike]. With collections as ingenious as this, how could anyone ever be unimpressed with the German-born Bernhard Willhelm? He brings us dresses, coats, sweaters, skirts, and dresses with extreme volume and layering that manage to flatter with lines having obviously been placed with a woman’s body in mind. Willhelm is easily synonymous with the words quirky, adventurous, vibrant, and playful but what makes him so brilliant in his designs is the fact that every piece is still very much chic and wearable. It comes as no surprise that this now Paris local received the ANDAM Grand Prize as the most promising talent of the new creative scene.

Super & Barneys NY pt. IIThe quality frame manufacture Super and Barneys New York features part two in their co-op. The frames is designed with intertwining metallic streaks combined with a Zeiss Gold 24k lens and of course is based on the Super Ciccio Style. The product is limited to only 50 pieces only at Barneys NY. I’m really feeling the aesthetic marriage between the orginal tortoise shell look and wood-grain.
