Bio's if you must!

Mike & Chris:

The classic hoodie is a staple in just about anyone's closet. However, husband and wife design team, Mike Gonzalez and Christine Park-Gonzalez saw the potential for a more downtown, progressive take on the standard hooded sweatshirt for their MIKE&CHRIS hoodie line.
The duo has created hoodies that better reflected the art and sub-culture of their roots. Born in Queens, NY, Christine, has always been inspired by the arts while husband Mike pursued a career in fashion photography that eventually took him to New York and Paris. "Mike comes from a long line of artists and as a former photographer, his inherent understanding of how colors and the lines of clothes work really shaped a lot of the designs," says Christine. "We knew that the standard hoodie could be more fashion forward with the right detailing without sacrificing wear ability or comfort". The design duo has managed to meld chic and street, resulting in a line that is both laid back yet put together.
The hoodies are made with super soft fleece in antiqued colors; detailed with oversized buttons, antique brass eyelets, and unconventional styling. Expanding on the hoodie concept the designers also created leather hoodies made from soft lightweight lambskin lined with classic cotton men's shirtings and is hand treated resulting in a distressed texture on the skins. The duo has also introduced a line of leather & canvas utility bags for their Spring 2006 collection. "Christine and I grew up in the LA and NY of the late 70s and '80s. Our line is really inspired by that aesthetic," says Mike. Whether paired with jeans, slacks, or skirts, the MIKE&CHRIS hoodies exude a street sensibility with a sort of laid-back chic.
The line has been featured in Italian Vogue, Lucky and Jane magazine and has been worn by Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore, Mary J. Blige, Jessica Alba, Mena Suvari, Angelina Jolie and Lucy Liu among others. You can find MIKE&CHRIS at boutiques worldwide including Ron Herman in Los Angeles, Barneys in New York, Henri Bendel in New York, Harvey Nichols in London and Beams in Tokyo.

Stylist Report!

You know what? Because this is beginning to be a big issue in America... almost on the same level as voting, crime and everything else important in the world.... Where do celebs find their stylists at, and why can't they just say no or fire them? I know they read Kimora's "Fabulousity" book. Always look your best right? So somebody please explain Janet. She's been doing this for a while. Going out on unacceptable terms that is. Even though this looks like a quick run out outfit, it beats most of the "planned" outfits her stylist has her wearing in public. Though she did manage to grab that Hermes bag right?

Nina from Project Runway...She's the dopest!

She makes you wanna visit South America sooo much more, doesn't she?

Celeb alike!




Yooo, cop yourself, or your favorite protege one of the dopest charm bracelets on the market these days. This here is a celeb favorite, and is available at none other than everyone's favorite store....Kitson! But if you are purchasing this for someone, make sure you two are gon' be on good terms for a minute...the bracelet goes for $295! Which isn't bad..but cheapness is an epidemic these days for most!

So Greekish- So Roman

Bangle, about $1200

Gold Snakeskin Cell Phone Pouch, about $875



Knee-High Gladiator Sandals, about $1250

So what would Chanel be, if they would follow the predicted trends like the rest of the designers?...Well bullshit, like most wannabe's wear these days of course, lol! Soooooo, I introduce the Greek/Roman inspired Cruise line from Chanel for 2007....it's dope! Funny though, that I am studying this in my History of Costume class right now [just thought I would throw that FYI in there]. The sandals are the dopest though. Not to much different from what the local hoodrats were wearing two summers ago. Let's see if they catch on to this.Chanel does have a more subtle style sandal, featured in the latest ELLE magazine. But....get detailed yo!

Just Say No...

NO FAKES! NO FAKES!NO FAKES! NO FAKES! NO FAKES! NO FAKES! NO FAKES! NO FAKES! NO FAKES! NO FAKES!

I mean it's getting ridiculous yo! Very ridiculous! Not only is it tacky, but it's starting to be life-threatening!
$500 billion dollars in counterfeit goods are sold annually....ANNUALLY!
Now that's a damn shame.
But the worst part is, that this funds go to fund organize crimes, such as: drug cartels, child labor & even terrorist organizations!
The same ones who be talking about all this crime in the world, is the same one with that GUgaCCI, Louis Faketon and Freindly [Fendi] bags!
Aite soooo, there is a solution. If you know of any such activities of fakes being sold, contact [anonymously] 202-223-6668 through fax or email iaccsleuth@iacc.org! You snitch!
I'm telling y'all purse party host and hostess right now, lmao...don't invite nobody I know...because I'm telling! Bwahahaaaa!

I know I know... I have a lack of celebrity postings on this blog..making it wack! Ahaha, but guess what? I got my shit together, so here it is. Check out Kelis @ The Out 100 Awards...looking dope of course. I mean a lot might not feel it, but I get a lttle asian influence with this look. From the kimono-like sleeves, to the big balloon pants...with the little platform sandals peeking out....it's dope. Reminds me of a better taste of costume that would have been used in Janet's "Call On Me" video....dope!

No more monogram Louis V.????


Forget the Louis V. monogram, it's 12 years played out anyway...BAPE now has monogram backpacks being released in Hong Kong! Being dropped in 3 differet colors. Cop yours quick!

H&M...H&M...H&M!!!


So if you're cool! Ha ha, you would know that this week was a pretty big week for H&M...um yeah! Yesterday, November 9th, the Victor & Rolf collection debuted at H&M stores worldwide. There were plenty of disposable fashion lovers in line for some of the latest looks fashion had to offer. In New York, it was reported their first customer started lining up @ 2am...the store opens @ 9am. At the Beverly Center in Los Angeles, it was the grand opening to the store, on top of the Victor & Rolf debut. People started lining up at 3pm on Wednesday. The theme for the line seemed to be a wedding style, and the designers designed a wedding dress for the store to sell also. There were only 1000 dresses made to be sold worldwide, so it could be used as an exclusive item! I mean, more power to them! Anyway, you know your favorite person, me of course, had to do some investigation on this little H&M extravaganza. Including a little eavesdropping and actual store review! Well, sad to say, not a lot of people were impressed with the anticipating debut. When I went to the store, it looked pretty average, but then again I came after the rush. This is basically a decision that will be left up to you all... on how you feel about the new debut!

Looking for a winter coat!

Well suprisingly this is the season for puma's and girls to be best friends. They supposedly have a lot of new hot items for the ladies. Such as, the peacoat pictured above....it's dope! Sooo hit up your local Puma store, and see what fits you!

Legacy x Flip The Bird Hawaii


Another dope show brand. Reminds me of Vans though! I am just diggin' the awkward colors, matched with the patent leather, otherwise they would be.... well wack vans of course!
Available in Spring '07

Daves Quality Meat


You all know I love graphic tee's! There the dopest. I found some more to pic up. These hot tamalies are available, thanks to Daves Quality Meat! They are apart of the Collection '77, which includes clothing from a lot of events taken part during that year. Look out for these yo!

I mean these are some of the dopest sneakers I have seen thus far for this season! Well I don't like the blue/orange, but the rest are pretty dope. Get active with these!

Picture my cuff!

I meannnn... I wouldn't wear it, unless it was black and had a whole insert of self-potraits, but some people dig it! The photocuff! Picture it, then cop it! Designed by jewelry designer Spencer Moy.
"To talk about Smoy PhotoCuff bracelets; they are stylish accessories in which you can customize with your favorite photos. Just take a few of your favorite photos, insert them into the "pocket" of the bracelet, and now you have a unique accessory to match your personality.
The pictures are “sandwiched” between the two layers of the bracelet. The vinyl has a soft cloth backing that creates friction between the two layers of the bracelet to hold the pictures in place. It’s the perfect design allowing you to change and add photos to the bracelet easily but still have the pictures held securely.
The cuff itself is made out of vinyl so it is waterproof. The picture frames have a clear covering that offers protection for normal wear but are not waterproof. They are the perfect design to offer protection for your photos while allowing pictures to be updated and/or changed quickly and easily. Also, the clear covering is stitched down so the pictures are better secured in between the bracelet." -Fashion Trendsetter

Yo check it! This is a DC/Silo collabo...

Can a brotha get a DC x Silo collection piece sent to him? The new collection is about to have the skateboarder near you looking fresher than ever. They caught on to the Gold/Black revolution, which is doing them right. =] I mean, I'm going to stand in line now, because everything drops November 4, and only 50 pairs are being given away. Who's with me?

Digital Printing @ it's best


Is this the new hotness, or is it the new hotness. Digital printing on a whole bunch of shit! Funny thing is. I just learned about this in my fabric construction class. I swear FIDM is shaRp. With a capital R! Yup! The brand is.. Martin Margiela, if you had trouble figuring it out, lol! Their dope though! I heard their Converse @ their best!

Anyway, check out the Versace Lamoborghini... and check out the interior. The dopest yet! Only 10 made in the world. Soooo, the question is... what you gon' do to get on that waiting list.
