Lurve Magazine #1 ..... i await you


Lurve magazine, a new independent magazine, will be launching its debut issue next month in Paris with talks of it being made available in Selfridges (London). Its focus is new emerging talent in the fashion and art industry.

HOSPITAL : antwerp

I forgot how ridiculously rich in knowledge superfuture is! This must be my last scout on there otherwise I will be blogging endlessly.... So, superfuture has just reported about this fascinating new retail concept in Antwerp (of course): "HOSPITAL". On arrival at HOSPITAL's website... the alternate retailing experience begins with a seemingly endless video campaign beautifully shot in black and white, fading in and out of focus like an amateur camera artiste. Fascinating. The alternate retail experience continues through to the store... as superfuture reports - the store features high end labels, belgian and international designers housed in a former warehouse which also accommodates a wine bar, restaurant and 3 luxury b&b!


At least I know where to stay on my next trip to Antwerp now ;)

ANTI SWEDEN

Surfing hintmag.com, I come across the brains behind one of their multimedia fashion features (i'm a huge fan of them)... the design agency is called 'Anti Design' and does not limit itself to just as the name would suggest. ANTI SWEDEN, featured in superfuture and hintmag shop, focus on its staple black (unisex) skinny jean as its core selling piece, launching earlier this year with the limited edition anti sweden 666 jean.

The branding is beautifully executed with illustration from Justin Bartlett marking every piece of the campaign jigsaw.. from the double spread ads to the inner pocket design of the jeans. Being born out of a fashion marketing degree - i am thoroughly intrigued and very geekly excited by what I see:

let's reignite this thing

i know i've said this before, but i mean it when i say - i'm going to reignite my wardrobe diary!!

starting from yesterday......



i re-discovered this suede/knit mix man's cardi i bought from pop boutique months ago that i left in the same carrier bag i bought it which it has sat in since... and ive decided i love it again now! (a day after purchase i wasn't so impressed). my new(ish) staple outerwear. :)

the love for suede continues

i saw these in a mag the other day and thought ooooOOooo!! and i see them again in my inbox and i just love them - i love the vintage look about them , like u couldve easily picked it up in a cookey lil vintage boutqiue in berlin and no-one would ever know where you found such marvellous shoes!

anyway, they are actually by office. £80, not such a cute vintage bargain price.

TEAMO

I'm still loving the novelty of New High (M)art.com .. on my latest visit I have discovered TEAMO.
A mexican duo worth watching I think.


This oversized sheer tank $88 is lush, props to the styling:



Fringe tank top $132 would look fabbulouuus with anything:



oh my heart is sad wanting all these lovely things...

pixie market







i love love love this place...
i especially love the graphic printed leather detail legging and the silk/leather mix colour block dress.

absolutely fab pieces but they are a bit pricey working in the $... the dress reatils at $185 but really it looks so worth it.
