I have never really been a Sci-fi fan, but I can handle tasteful things no matter what genre they belong to. That’s what makes the Zara Gorman Spaceship Hat an interesting accessory.

The shining high-gloss hat is crafted from the softest, and is made only by order and can take up to eight weeks to design. You can also opt for a fittings session to keep the hat just to yourself. The hat is priced at £1,200 ($1,920). However delivery is available in UK alone.

LOEWE

Loewe S.A. Founded in : 1846 Activities : Leather goods, ready-to-wear, silk accessories & fragrances Goya, 4 28001 Madrid – Spainwww.loewe.es

In 1846, Madrid was preparing for two royal marriages, that of Her Majesty Isabel II of Bourbon to the Duke of Cadiz and that of the Princess Maria Luisa Fernanda to the Duke of Montpensier. That same year, a group of Spanish craftsmen opened a leather goods workshop in the most commercial district in Madrid. It was in 1872 when Enrique Loewe Roessberg, a German craftsman specialized in leather working, decided to join forces with the workshop owners and establish the brand. Enrique Loewe brought his precision and technique and Spain its sensuality, creativity and peerless expertise in leather.

In 1905, Loewe became "Official Supplier to the Spanish Royal Crown". In 1910, Loewe had a reputation as the most luxurious and renowned boutique in Madrid and therefore began its expansion across the Spanish territory.

Towards the end of the 1960’s, Loewe marked the beginning of its international expansion with the opening of a new boutique in New Bond Street in London. The 1970’s marked Loewe’s expansion into the Fashion Industry where Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani and Laura Biagiotti were behind the first women’s Ready-to-Wear Collections. The first women’s fragrance "L" was also launched during this period.

In 1976, the brand inaugurated its first store in Japan. Today, Loewe owns more that 35 stores in Japan. The first Men’s Ready-to-Wear Store was opened in Madrid in 1986.

In 1996, celebrating the brand’s 150 year anniversary, LVMH took over the ownership of the brand.

In 1997, Narciso Rodríguez joined the company and presented the first women’s Ready-to-Wear Collection in Paris. In 2002, Jose Enrique Oña Selfa was the designer for the Women’s Ready-to-Wear Collections and Jose Luis Toribio for the Men’s Ready-to-Wear Collections.
Today, Stuart Vevers is the Artistic Director for the Women's Ready-to-Wear Collections, the Men's Ready-to-Wear Collections  and the leather goods.

Loewe is the unique history of a family dynasty. Enrique Loewe Lynch, the last family representative, is part of the administrative board of directors and is the Honorary President.

HANDBAGS BALENCIAGA 2011

A funny thing happened at the Hotel Crillon in Paris yesterday – Balenciaga Fall 2011 graced the runway and we actually got to see handbags. That doesn’t happen particularly often under Nicolas Ghesquiere’s creative direction, but I was utterly thrilled to see that he threw a bone to those of us who tune in to see the accessories as much as the clothes themselves. Whether or not those accessories were a success is perhaps a bit more complicated.

There are none of Balenciaga’s famous motorcycle bags to be found here, of course. Despite the fact that those designs are the brand’s bread and butter, they’re not shown as part of seasonal collections, mostly because they’re always about the same. Instead, we have two groups of clutches: one sharply tailored and printed, the other made of comically oversized woven leather (even bigger than that from Prada Fall 2010) with a beautifully detailed chain strap. The former is sure to be popular with customers, but the latter might be a bit of a harder sell for Balenciaga. The idea is an interesting one, no doubt, but the too-simple shape combined with the scale of the weave might scare some people off. Alternately, I would absolutely love to see the same material in a larger tote shape.

CHANEL’S SPRING 2011 HANDBAGS ARE HERE

Since Chanel showed its diverse, covetable selection of Spring 2011 handbags in Paris back in October, I’ve been waiting patiently (ok, not-so-patiently) for detailed shots of the designs to hit the web. Now that they have, I feel confident saying that along with Pre-Spring 2011, Chanel Spring 2011 is some of the strongest work from the brand’s accessories team in recent memory. There’s a little something for everyone here, from the staunch Chanel traditionalist to the young woman who wants to mix neon and tweed.

I’m particularly excited to see that the fantastic leather-bound book clutch has made its way to retail, as well as some of the utterly feminine scarf-woven bags. What I loved but didn’t expect to see was a slim black and white clutch detailing the ceiling of Paris’ Grand Palais, where Chanel presents its collections every season. Not only is it beautiful and neutral enough to actually be used, but I could see it quickly becoming a collector’s item among Chanel devotees .

CELINE HANDBAGS FALL 2011

Considering Celine’s track record of re-imagining classic handbag shapes over the past few seasons, it was only a matter of time before Phoebe Philo’s accessories crew made its way to the doctor bag. Having made fashion hits out of a leather box bag on a long strap an ornately trimmed shopping tote (not to mention launching a thousand copycats at nearly every price point), Celine Fall 2011 turned its sites on two traditional accessory staples: the frame satchel and the flat clutch.

Celine’s handbag aesthetic works so well because the brand is careful to pick shapes and ideas that lend themselves to Philo’s particular brand of disciplined traditionalism. And of course, these bags carry on the brand’s New Minimalist ethos quite well, stripping both shapes down to their most basic components and then realizing them in the most pristine and exacting way possible. It’s a method that has proved incredibly successful in the past, and these bags will no doubt continue that streak.

WANT IT WEDNESDAY : CHANEL ICE CREAM CONE

This morning I woke up to sleet then snow then rain then a combination of the three. Even though spring has officially sprung, it remains cold and dreary in NYC.

That is why this Wednesday I am wanting warm weather, sunshine, and for Chanel to legitimately make ice cream cones. When this photo started circulating the internet, I momentarily wondered if Chanel indeed decided to make luxury waffle cones. They didn’t, but if Chanel is reading this, I want them to know that I think it should take on the luxury ice cream cone market.

So let’s all close our eyes and pretend that winter is over and beach weather is upon us

LOUIS VUITTON MONOGRAM FLEUR DE JAIS COLLECTION OF BAGS IS THE FLAVOR OF THE SEASON

Women are known to sit up straight every time a Louis Vuitton number makes its runway debut. Louis Vuitton is not one to ignore its admirers. And as a way to pay tribute to its female admirers and buyers, Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter 2010 Collection celebrates the woman's female form with exquisite details in mind. Out of the many show stopping pieces to hit the runway in this femme fatale collection was the Monogram Fleur de Jais bags. The Monogram Fleur de Jais collection consists of three pieces: the Manège, Speedy and Carrousel. All three pieces flaunt a reinterpreted monogram canvas that is exquisitely embellished and sequined with an ornate floral pattern.

The Monogram Fleur de Jais Manège is the perfect accessory to glam up any formal outfit. The classy clutch is made from sequined Monogram canvas and features floral details. A grained black calfskin leather flap with leather-covered S-lock, and natural cowhide leather trimmings and wrist strap ensure this creation is a showstopper both on the runway and off it. The exquisite clutch’s interior features a flat pocket and its lining is signed with the Louis Vuitton Inventeur plate. Measures 9.8" x 5.5" x 3.1" in size the Manège is priced at $2130

The iconic Speedy is my personal favorite in this Monogram Fleur de Jais line. Boasting of a floral pattern in flock and sequin, this bag manages to take my breath away. The zipper and opening features black calfskin leather while the remaining trimmings + toron handles and clochet is made from vachetta. The interior features an interior pocket, while the lining is signed with Louis Vuitton Inventeur signature. The Monogram Fleur de Jais Speedy 11.8" x 8.3" x 7.5" in size and is priced at $2420.

The Carrousel in Monogram Fleur de Jais is the crème du jour of the collection. Flaunting a body made from the Monogram canvas with an exquisite floral pattern and sequin embroidery, this vintage style accessory definitely makes for an eye catching accessory. The flap is made from grained black calfskin leather, with a single top handle made from vachetta. A gold S-lock secures the flap to the body while like other bags this bag’s interior too features a flat pocket and a lining signed with the Louis Vuitton Inventeur plate. Measuring 10.2" x 6.7" x 5.9” in size, this bag is priced at $2950.

An exquisite collection you can purchase your very own Monogram Fleur de Jais bag at any Louis Vuitton store.

VERSACE * SALVATORE FERRAGAMO * VALENTINO * SWAROVSKI

 Versace  The quartz timepiece is a more elaborate reinterpretation of the model that Versace first introduced in 2008. Its stainless-steel 39-mm case is coated in an IP yellow-gold treatment and features the Versace logo. A Medusa symbol, the brand’s well-known icon, adorns the black enamel dial at 12 o’clock. Mini spheres lit up by the Clous de Paris decorative detailing float between the outer bezel and dial. The floating beads create a theme of motion, changing position as the wearer moves. The watch is water-resistant to 3 ATM and is mounted on a black crocodile strap. The Destiny Spirit retails for $1,000

Salvatore Ferragamo introduces GANCINO charms to its collection. This timepiece has a distinguishing small pendant in the shape of the brand’s iconic gancino on the side of its case. The gancino symbol also appears in a diamond outline on the watch’s guilloché dial. There are 12 brilliant-cut diamonds set on the rotating bezel at the 3 o’clock marker.

The quartz movement is housed in a 36-mm stainless-steel case with an integrated crown. Other versions of the watch feature colored stones set on the bezel: amethyst, smoky quartz, rhodolite and citrine. Each of these versions comes with a strap to match its stone. The retail price for this watch is $1,700

 

 Swarovski Watch Collection at Baselworld in March, the brand continues to build its name in the world of watchmaking with the release of a limited edition series. The Octea Sport, one of the limited watches from the collection, comes in two innovative colors: Capri Blue Satin and Smoky Quartz Satin.

A functional timepiece, the Octea Sport has a unidirectional rotating bezel and is water-resistant to 30 meters. Also adding to the watch’s practicality is its rubber strap, which is constructed from six applied tone-on-tone faceted crystals in either Capri Blue or Smoky Quartz Satin. Distinguishable features, such as the Swarovski Swan at 12 o’clock and the Swanflower symbol on the case back and strap, make this timepiece a recognizable Swarowski creation. Limited to only 999 pieces, the Octea Sport will be available in late October, in time for the fall and winter season.

 Valentino’s Rosier watch has a unique petal design extending from a yellow-gold case with a brushed finish. The petal design is based on the iconic Valentino logo. A polished top ring surrounds the curved sapphire crystal. The dial features diamond indexes at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock. The timepiece has a Swiss made quartz movement with time-setting from the case back. The watch is mounted on a lizard strap with deployant buckle

CHRISTOPHE CLARET ADAGIO

For years Christophe Claret labored in relative obscurity creating horological masterpieces sold under the names of others. To date he has devised and executed 68 unique complicated movements. In 2009, the man behind the curtain released the first timepiece widely marketed under his own name. Following the “bravos”, Claret is launching a second piece bearing his name. His encore is called Adagio.

The Adagio features central hour and minute hands, small seconds at 9 o’clock in a window or subdial, depending on the versions, along with a large date at 6 o’clock and a dual time-zone (hours and minutes) display complete with day/night indication in a subdial at 2 o’clock.

This timepiece is equipped with Calibre SLB88, naturally created entirely in house, composed of 455 parts and measuring 34mm in diameter. Striking the hours, quarters and minutes on demand, the “cathedral gongs” of the striking mechanism are fitted with a patented device preventing them from knocking against each other when they vibrate under the hammer blows. Also patented is the large date display, which features an all-new construction. The crown is equipped with a security system: when the mainspring is fully wound, a mechanism disconnects the winding stem to avoid any potential damage due to excessive tension.

The Adagio is available in three colors – rose gold, white gold or platinum. The 44mm case is water-resistant to 30 meters. It is fitted with two pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock to adjust the large date and dual time-zone displays, as well as a slide-piece controlling the striking mechanism at 9 o’clock.

The dial comes in a choice of three versions. The first highlights the ancestral art of guilloché-work or engine-turning on gold – white gold in this particular case – enhanced by the blued hour, minute, seconds, and dual time-zone hands. The second option is created using gemstones such as black onyx, ruby, jade, opal or lapis lazuli. And finally, the third features a rhodiumed anthracite gold base punctuated by stamped dials, creating a three-dimensional effect. All models are supplied with an alligator leather strap and issued in limited edition of eight per dial and case version.

The Adagio is priced at SFr.268,000 for the rose gold and white gold versions and SFr.318,000 for the platinum version.

KENZO PARIS

Against a Mexican festival of lights, to the chirrup of mariachi music, Antonio Marras transformed the Kenzo show into a salute to Latin America's haute bohemia: Frida Kahlo, Tina Modotti, and the female artists who set pulses racing south of the border in the early twentieth century. Marras said the whole scenario came to him in a dream. There was a sense of that in the show, with airy volumes and dark, evocative colors. But the inspiration also fit right into the magpie Kenzo aesthetic, which always raided other places, times, and states of mind to create its own patchwork culture.
And patchworked this collection most definitely was, with leather, wool, and fur appearing in the same coat, and a long cardigan collaged from cable knit, chiffon, and lace. A blouse in paisley chiffon was paired with a plaid kilt. The general effect successfully conveyed the image of Frida and her friends playing at devil-may-care dress-up. The key silhouette was a long knit over an even longer chiffon skirt, with gaucho boots to anchor the look. Scatterings of bronze beading and sequins added texture. Marras takes the same seemingly random approach to raw materials in his own collection, but here it was noticeably more lighthearted and poppier—kind of boho light.

Marras is contemporary fashion's great romantic. Here, he perhaps got carried away: There were a few too many airy, sheer, smocked floor sweepers. It was dark relief when his own innately gothic spirit found the drama in a blood-red rose print or a black suit in beaded brocade. "I would die for you," the mariachis sang. And that's surely one sentiment with which the designer could identify.

VERSACE LAUNCHES JANUARY JONES EYEWEAR

Donatella Versace is clearly "mad" about Versace campaign star January Jones.

Following the Mad Men actress's provocative nude Spring 2011 campaign, the fashion house is paying tribute to the blonde beauty with a new eyewear collection called January J.

"I am always on the lookout for the next Versace blonde and in January I feel I have found a perfect Versace woman for the 21st century," Versace said in a press release.

"She is chic and elegant but deeply sensual too—it is a dramatic combination. January has been a good friend to the house of Versace and she looks wonderful in our Spring/Summer accessories campaign, so I thought it would be fun to name my new eyewear collection after her."

"Inspired by the glamour and chic sexiness" of '50s- and '60s-era movie stars (cue Betty!), Versace designed one optical style and two sunglass styles, including the cat's-eye Catwalk Sun Style featuring a 3-D Medusa logo detail.

Meanwhile, the optical glasses and second sunglass style sport a rounded shape and are available in red, tortoiseshell and black frames.

We can think of at least one housewife who would love these.

KIRSTEN DUNST GOES NUDE FOR BULGARI’S MON JASMIN NOIR AD CAMPAIGN

Move over, David—Florence just got itself another gorgeous nude model. With the Italian city’s lush green Boboli Gardens serving as her backdrop, Kirsten Dunst, like Julianne Moore before her, bares all in Bulgari’s new Mon Jasmin Noir fragrance campaign.

Dunst goes full-on goddess in one ad, her golden hair in an elegant upsweep and a billowing swath of purple fabric draped strategically across her dewy skin. Opulent jewels from Bulgari’s Mediterranean Eden Collection—including the sexy Serpenti bracelet and flower-shaped earrings with green, orange, and violet gemstones—up the ethereal factor.

Demonstrating her powers of seduction, the actress—who was photographed in Florence by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott— caresses a bottle of Mon Jasmin Noir as her lion co-star (Bulgari's animal of choice) falls under her spell.

The second Mert & Marcus shot features a close-up of a jewel-adorned hand holding a smaller bottle of the sensually feminine fragrance, which has notes of lily of the valley, sambac jasmine, musky nougatine, and vibrant wood. Both of the stunning Bulgari ads will make their début in the April issues of fashion magazines.

Meanwhile, Dunst is grabbing attention in Milan, where she was the guest of honor at the February 25 Bulgari cocktail celebrating Milan Fashion Week and the launch of the Mediterranean Eden Jewelry and Accessories Collections.

Hundreds of guests, including Bulgari CEO Francesco Trapani, Glenda Bailey, Suzy Menkes, Stefano Tonchi, and Giuseppe Zanotti, turned up at the luxurious Bulgari Hotel, where the garden was transformed into a mythical Greco-Roman wonderland complete with gigantic cabochon gemstones and enameled serpent figures with malachite eyes.

The Mediterranean Eden Collection arrives in Bulgari stores worldwide in May. The lion? We hope not



DIOR JOAILLERIE’S VICTOIRE DE CASTELLANE TAKES A TRIP

 Dior Haute Joaillerie designer Victoire de Castellane is known for her candy-colored, vibrantly trippy creations. (As she revealed in our video shopping trip with her, she gravitates toward mushrooms—presumably for accessories only.) Her new project, done under her own name and separate from her Dior endeavors, mines all of the hallucinogenic allusions from her earlier work to create complete pharmacopeia.

 Fleurs d’excès—that’s “Flowers of Excess”—is inspired by the mind-altering and intoxicating drugs. The fine jewels (prices on request—in other words, stratospherically high) will debut at Gagosian Gallery’s Paris Project space during the Fall collections. The pieces, in gold and silver inlaid with rubies, diamonds, jade, rhyolite, and more, go on view to the public March 2 through March 22

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN TONES DOWN HIS PUNK CLUTCH

Sarah Burton had large shoes to fill when she stepped in Alexander McQUEEN. But her transition has not only been seamless but has also continued to bring us gorgeous pieces. Right now I am absolutely obsessed with the Alexander McQueen 3D Hobo. While Neiman Marcus describes this bag as flower-detail, I would like to clarify: this my friends is black leather cutwork leaves. In a time when we have come to expect florals from the likes of Valentino, I feel refreshed with this look from McQueen.

Truth be told, leather flowers are gorgeous but with these floral leaves we have an earthy spirit brought to the design. The Alexander McQueen 3D Hobo is an ethereal beauty, and I can not stop any part of me from wanting it .

When it comes to Alexander McQUEEN accessories, the box clutch with skull clasp closure is iconic. With countless renditions ranging from plain leather to overall studded, there is an option for everyone out there. I always enjoyed the studded versions, but I also never saw myself carrying one. I like a little bit of spunk and rock, but I have my limits. 

Even though ample studs take over the front of the Alexander McQueen Brittania Punk Leather Box Clutch, the perfectly toned down green leather offsets the studs in a manner that leaves the final product much less harsh.

Have I ever shared my love of the color green with you all? I may not constantly be drawn to it, but green is a color that works well for many people. The hue on this clutch is toned down with some white, which makes the color almost green tea latte creamy in appearance. And I love that paired with the gold studs. It is both regal and punk. Right now this version is only available on NAP international, but it will probably hit the US store soon as well.

TIFFANY & CO

Chic new Tiffany Locks play with paradox and telegraph personal style. Feminine yet edgy, charming yet dignified, vintage-inspired yet completely contemporary–these designs effortlessly complement a range of fashion styles. Based on Tiffany archival designs, Tiffany Locks feature detailed pendants and charms, some of which function as actual locks. Among the options are vintage, heart, arc and round shapes in 18 karat yellow and rose gold or sterling silver.

CHLOE SEVIGNY FOR OPENING CEREMONY

She sits front row at shows like Proenza Schouler and Lanvin, but quintessentially cool actress Chloë Sevigny is just as happy behind the scenes designing her third collection for Opening Ceremony. This time around, she has created five dress silhouettes available in five prints--paisley, houndstooth, leopard, polka dot, and floral--with Fogal tights to match. "I am not breaking the mold," says Sevigny. "I am making clothing that girls can wear to feel tough, secure, sexy, and confident." Just like her.
