From the archives: Past collection vintage Gianni Versace

 

 

At over two years old, our popular series featuring vintage Gianni Versace at his best, still embodies timeless energy as we look forward to spring's brighter days ahead.

 

VagaBond NYC + Toto Cullen for DMAg

We worked recently with uber talented photographer Toto Cullen and so we would like to share some of the results of the creative process with you. Gwen, the model is resplendent in pieces from the VagaBondnyc archive.

Chanel of Champions

"Just the thing for my morning cardio!" From us to you: celebrating conspicuous consumption the Chanel way (is there any other?)

Karl's got us covered for any need indeed. (would've totally paid more attention to the end of Marie Antoinette if Sofia could have gotten her mitts on this baby.)

In the future this is what we'll all be: smoking noir babes of the highest degree -- oh yes, and droids.

 

Attraction and repulsion are strange bedfellows

Those be some ALLIED MICKEY MOUSE EARS

Eyes like Zapruder and a mouth that blooms

The gentlewoman

Dressing like an Anais Nin protagonist

What lives at the center of a Faberge egg?

Behind the Scenes shoot for D Magazine

Vagabond NYC delves into their collection, mixing together a study in masculine tailoring, punched up with riotous prints and technicolor brights.

Kristen Arnett, founder of Green Beauty Team, worked her magic on Grace, mixing intense pigments in hues of emerald and magenta.

Grace Bol -- a Sudanese-by-way-of-Kansas City model who is represented by Major -- brought her experience and delightful demeanor to set. Her extraordinary beauty shines through even in these candid photos, and her self possessed confidence in front of the camera infused the pictures with a serene power. Appearing recently in the Thierry Mugler resort show, we believe Grace's trajectory shall continue to rise and wish her all the best!

A very special thanks to photographer Toto Cullen, cinematographer Tebbe Schoningh, hair and make up artist Kristen Arnett, model Grace Bol, and Major agent Eric Granwehr -- the shoot was a perfect storm of energy and creativity, culminating in some amazing photographs.

New Look at VagaBondnyc.com: Ray

Head to Vnyc to check out our latest new look: Ray, inspired by the vision of Ray Petri, the late legendary stylist. We at Vagabond Nyc have always been fond of his mad-cap mix of designer rags teamed with bits of lingerie, athletic basics and under garments to create a strong look that juxtaposed the diverse street scenes of the 1980's. If anything, one could argue that Petri's high-lo contribution to fashion, his mix of genre defining elements, is exactly the way people dress today.

Our take on the era features various finds from our shop that are as disparate in concept from Jean Paul Gaultier bodysuits to a classic Chanel Tuxedo blouse complete with bow, all while trying not to get trapped in that all too literal 80's retro-box designers seem to be getting into these days.
