Japanese studio &design created these rad watches which I found on Generate Pipeline. Available for sale soon. I especially love the icon-style one on the right. The other one is an LED watch.

Seth and I went and saw the Darjeeling Limited on Halloween, and as much as I love Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman, I really felt that the sexy Luis Vuitton luggage was the real star of the movie. The beautiful jungle illustrations on the luggage were provided by Wes Anderson’s brother Eric (gees, too much talent in one family). It is my dream luggage.

Ligia Dias worked with Alber Elbaz of Lanvin for 3 years and now has her own jewelry collection.

I like this piece from Etsy seller: Tilly Bloom- Curious Jewelry

The appropriately titled Wire Name Jewlery site is awesome (my personal favourite is the one for “Bubble Butt”). This technique has been around for ages, and it’s still timeless. Makes me wish I had a great nickname. Found via Stork Bites Man.

So several years ago before the laser-cut acrylic jewelry caught on, I found Tatty Devine’s site. They’re out of London, and I remember drooling over the awesome designs they were producing. Seems like they’re still doing more creative things with this medium than most companies who’ve jumped on the bandwagon. I love this idea: you can pick you own colour of acrylic, and select a typeface, and have your name made into a necklace. Here are some other amazing designs they’ve made with the acrylic.

(This is actually one of my favourites- it just so happens to be made of wood).

I realized the other day that while I was posting the collections that I loved from SS08 Fashion Week, there were a couple of lines I just plain forgot to post!  Here are a few more collections that I loved.

Dries Van Noten (loved the prints and textures of the accessories)

Sonia Rykiel (I loved the exuberance of this show and the very feminine, gossamer gowns)

Marni

Today I found this great (eponymous) line by Laura Dawson.

Pre-fashion week, we always receive a bunch of invitations to shows, events, etc. I pulled aside some of the better looking ones. We received a few laser-cut ones like these:

Maison Martin Margiela– for a new store which recently opened in Beverly Hills.

Also this invitation from Sue Stemp:

This one from Rachel Comey is a beautiful plum gradient on newsprint:
