Street Style: Touches of Fur

Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2012

For Pre-Fall 2012, Nicholas Ghesquière didn't hesitate to push the envelope and left little to the imagination with this collection. Using the early 80's postmodernism as a muse, all of the bold colors, big silhouettes, and loud prints associated with the genre makes the high-tech fabrics, sharp tailoring, and muted colors in the end far out fun. There were jumbo zebra patterns, over sized pullovers, shoulder-padded coats, and pleated peplums, all in eye popping hues and styled to the hilt with humongo earrings, super-dark shades, and New Wave hair. Fashion is heading in an exciting direction as trend forecasters are predicting, if all of this sounds like over-the-top retro, never fear.

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.

Amy Winehouse - Lioness: Hidden Treasures

Despite her destructive lifestyle she was unbelievably talented and had the voice of an angel. She was the definition of raw talent with a rare intuition as a vocalist, she lived jazz, she lived blues. This new album Lioness: Hidden Treasures is a collection of previously unreleased tracks, alternate versions of existing classics, as well as a couple of brand new compositions. Following her tragic passing, some of the producers and musicians who worked closely with Amy Winehouse, among them Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, spent time listening over the many recordings that Amy had made, before, during, and after the release of Frank and Back To Black. Every song she wrote was a piece of her mind and her emotions captured while baring her soul through the darkest times. It's sad thinking of how much beautiful music she had left to share with the world. When you listen to "Best Friends, Right?", "Like Smoke", "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", "Between the Cheats", and “Body And Soul”, it is a testament to her artistic genius and her brilliance as one of the most honest and exceptional musicians of our generation.
