In the moment: Athletica

A new trend that we can call "athletica" started off as tomboy chic heavily inspired by football, gym gear, and masculine sports. Looks that are less masculine and more feminine or androgynous are the sporty elements that create structured cuts are specialized in luxurious fabrication such as leather, silk, chiffon, and jersey. Sportswear has been a fashion trend over the past few years but this spring there has been nothing but an Olympic burst of sporty chic inspiration in the air. Sleek, functional, with a minimalist leaning this season sportswear offers many new opportunities for wardrobe inspiration when recreating those runway looks. 

Spirited Magazine "Noir Generation" at Yes. Oui. Si

Last Saturday I attended the Spirited Magazine "Noir Generation" Issue V live magazine installation by spirited creatives at Yes. Oui. Si. gallery in Boston. For those who aren't familiar Spirited Magazine is an independent Magazine started by visual artist and stylist Amanda Antunes. It's inspired by the art of collaboration, and combines the best of artistic acumen with the fundamentals of community. The magazine is highly conceptual and born from the necessity to create productive outlets for exploring textures and depths. Contributors, who include photographers, stylists, musicians, visual artists, filmmakers, graphic designers, and writers, are challenged to stretch this idea to its limits, explore its surfaces and crevices. The "Noir Generation" issue is available for sale online, Lorem Ipsum bookstore, Porter Square books, Grolier Poetry bookstore, and Oona's Experienced Clothing in Harvard Square.

UNIF "HELLBOUND"

We've got a devil on our shoulder and its called "HELLBOUND" more accurately it's a devil on the foot. Badass doesn't even to begin to describe Christine of Christeric and UNIF in the Morrison Moto Pants, paired with a sheer vintage button-down, Alexander Wang x Linda Farrow mirrored shades and a chain mail vest that we'd give up our firstborn for. The Hellbounds are 100% handmade, matte black distressed leather, monster size 10 zippers, and the perfect no-arch so you can stomp around in them all day. They come with 3 pairs of laces; black, off-white, and rainbow. My Hellbounds finally arrived! I'm never wearing any other shoes again.
