COG & PEARL

Feature: Cog & Pearl in Brooklyn. Met up with old friend today who works across the street from this delectable little store. I frequented the store on Brooklyn's 5th many times and it is my favorite! They carry handmade jewelry from independent artists and home decor that you want to take photos around. Make sure you stop by Cog & Pearl if you get the chance for delicate and enchanting pieces.

JEREMY LIANG

FEATURE: Jeremy Liang s/s 2007. If we were to pretend and turn our heads away from the fact that summer is still in full swing, then perhaps I could turn to the dark heavy fabrics of fall. However, since the heat still burdens me every time I walk outside, I decided to continue featuring refreshing crisps designs that coincide with ideal summer wardrobes. Personally, I love the summer trench. I myself found one similar by tulle, which has been a useful investment for summer rains.

Notice the Annie Hall inspiration. (from the previous post)

BRINGING UP BABY

NY FASHION FEATURE: Karen Walker. Designer Karen Walker, from New Zealand, featured her work at New York Fashion week for Fall 2007. Her designs, a mix-match of 1930's styles echoes Katherine Hepburn to me. The pastiche of military elements juxtaposed with elaborate patterns makes her designs reflect a palette and layering that project the tensions between traditional masculine cuts and feminine refashionings in the modern age.
