Our Site is Getting a FaceLift Soon...

This spring will be our second year in business and to celebrate, in April we will be launching a much stronger site, visually and logistically speaking. It will house many more departments, ideas, and will also include a monthly editorial and a comprehensive look-book.

Here is a peak at our first editorial, based on age/refernce-less body-con with a sense of humor:

Accessory of the Week: Alaia Fishnet Gloves

Up for grabs are these classic black kid-suede gloves from the maestro of feminine refinement, AZZEDINE ALAIA. They have alluring fishnet palms that offer a sort of subversive, and elusive sexual reference and innuendo. They can be worn in a very sleek 40's Blade-Runner kind of way with a tweed Galliano hour-glass suit...

Paired over scarlet red satin gloves and an all black ensemble of fitted tuxedo suit, fishnet cloche, cigarette wand and scarlet lips a la Helmut Newton...


Or used as a strong yet subtle layering tool for a graphic urban-warrior statement.

Agyness Deyn Accepts Model of the Year In VagaBondnyc

The "IT" girl of 2007 has definately inspired our buy in the past with her hodge-podge style of kooky globalism meets zany new-wave/nu rave, so we felt quite honored when she showed up to receive British Model of the Year in a hot-pink nehru SPROUSE jacket from VagaBondnyc.com!

FLORAL WARRIOR at Vagabondnyc

For this up-coming spring and next fall, some of our favorite designers from DRIES VAN NOTEN to PRADA have not only been mixing prints like mad-men, they also re-introduced the notion of floral prints by adding an elusive edge with very sentimental yet contemporary blooms. It's exceptionally enthralling to see banality parlayed into something so effervescent!
And if you think its just a styling trick, you've thought wrong! Simply because, these aren't your granny's sweet peonies! They've been re-imagined through the canny eyes of globalism and stark urbanity. And we love Dries idea of just over-saturating your self in prints that evoke a refined, artisanal statement. You could mix it with geek like Prada or make it all sci-fi powered like Balenciaga! We thought we'd take a moment and reflect on some of our very own pieces that were inspired by this trend!
