Liberty x Hermès

London’s Regent Street just got a new pop up-flash shop (whatever you want to call it) which is open from September 7 to October 18. On sale are the limited edition Liberty and Hermès printed scarfs and ties.

The scarfs feature classic Liberty micro floral patterns with a Hermès”™ ‘Ex Libris’ design dropped on top. All that comes in the finest cotton.

Needless to say, Mary and myself really want such a limited collabo scraf.

Huge Lips Skinny Hips

Mary sent me a note about the wonderful lipgloss Huge Lips Skinny Hips that has been cooked up by Purple Lab founder Karen Robinovitz.

The gloss helps to pump up your tires and makes you believe you just ate. Perfect. Vitamin B3 will plump your lips upstairs and some mysterious African plant extract will drop a few pounds downstairs (I’m going to drink it):

The product contains Hoodia Gordonii extract, which is derived from the plant found in South Africa and Namibia. The ingredient is claimed to be a natural appetite-suppressant, which is said to work by mimicking the effects of glucose on the brain, tricking it into thinking you’ve just eaten.

I'm going to drink it

HLSH is available in six sheer shades, with names including Kitty Poledancer & No Panty Lines.

Paris Fashion Week Today: BW and MMM

My two favourite designers showed in Paris on the same day. Again, both had a stunning catwalk.

I’m such a fan of Jutta Kraus now. She is mostly responsible for the Bernhard Willhelm Women’s collection. And of course, Maison Martin Margiela brought the shoulders. And clouds.

MMM in M on M

The Maison Martin Margiela exhibition at the MoMu in Antwerp closed its doors at the beginning of February. Now, it seems to travel to Munich.

The show is going to be at the Haus der Kunst from March 20 to June 1: “in verschiedene sektionen unterteilt, gibt die präsentation einblick in die stilmittel und kreationen des “mmm” sie bewegen sich zwischen müll und märchen”. It doesn’t sound quite as funny in English: “the presentation provides an insight into “mmm” stylistic devices and creations; they shift between garbage and fairy tales”

I’m not sure why Munich has all the luck. Last October, they got the first German Margiela boutique on Maximillianstraße. Na dann, pfürti!

Chit Chat with J

My favourite Canadian designer & friend Jeremy Laing is showing his new Autumn 2009 collection at New York Fashion week, February 15. Head over to papermag.com for a quick chit chat with J.
It will surely be a stunning runway, as another favourite, the dance-disco-house band New Feelings will be playing for the show.

CC

I’m a litte bit late with this, but jut now I saw the pictures below at El Fashionista. In case you were wondering what Roisin Murphy wore during her latest tour and the concert that was streaming on her website, two of the best outfits are by Cristophe Coppens.
CC was trained as a theater director and actor. Started his own fashion line in the 90ties, made hats for Yohji Yamamoto and Guy Laroche and became the milliner of the Belgian royal family.

And now, I also want to carry a deer on my back.
Such an amazing look.
