farpitzs.
fyi: farpitzs means "all dressed up" in yiddish.
retailer mytheresa.com has teamed up with oliver peoples on a line of sunglasses. the pairing is clever and the styles cute, but an additional point of interest is that the brands hired the help of some bloggers to act as models; the lookbook was also photographed by one, melanie galea of the street muse, during sydney fashion week.
the first peter som for anthropologie collection almost skipped my purview and since it launches in stores on friday, this post is more relevant than ever! consisting of 11 colorful pieces (including blouses skirts, dresses, and jackets), som was inspired by women like diana vreeland and edie beale, “social eccentrics, women of style that had a little something quirky or a little strange about them,” and wouldn’t look out of place in the closet of a lady who lunches. prices range from $128-$368.
have you heard the news that phillip lim would be target’s next designer collaboration? this is pretty big. what’s even bigger is that lim will be creating a much more well-priced version of his pashli bag, a fraction of the cost at $35 (the luxe version is nearly $1k).
admittedly, i often get psyched upon first learning of these partnerships, but my hopes are often dashed upon the final reveal; the quality is rarely top-notch and pieces fall apart after a few wears. will this time be like the others? we’ll see in september.
j.crew has been releasing stellar collaborations for a few seasons now in both clothing and accessories categories and its most recent partnership with auden is no exception. this new york-based jewelry line is the perfect blend of masculine and feminine.
like what you see? beware: the prices are pricey, ranging from $278 to $578.
spanish surf brand twothirds and french shirtmakers saint james have come together to create the latter’s very first eco product. available now, this classic top was crafted with recycled cotton yarn via a process called ecotec, which uses the excess fabric of newly made pre-dyed garments and prevents a need for incinerating unused materials.
saint james tricots first created the breton striped shirt for sailors in 1889, but it started gaining in popularity after coco chanel rocked one in 1917. twothirds is equally as impressive having become the first clothing brand to replace its polyester bags with a 100% biodegradable packaging. the melding of minds, people!
olivia kim and jen brill have been murdering the game when it comes to their partnership with cole haan. the two fashion insiders already have a few seasons of design experience with the brand, but the sandals they’ve cooked up for the upcoming season (particularly the blush and tan styles shown above) are epic.
if you’ve turned on your computer lately, [which clearly you have or you wouldn’t be reading this post,] you know that warby parker is rapidly taking over the world. its most recent project is a collaboration with my last employer, glamour. the magazine dove into its archives for inspiration in co-creating this pair of octagonal marble “mabel” frames; the 1967 editorial shown above was what specifically spurned the design.
lulu frost’s latest collection in collaboration with j.crew has been revealed. for summer 2013, pieces are set to appear in j.crew stores and online beginning may 20 with prices ranging from $98 to $278. i chose to highlight the necklaces simply because they are definitely the standouts from this line-up, but likely the priciest.
the news that suno and uniqlo have partnered up for a fast fashion collaboration has the internet abuzz. judging by the lookbook, which fashionista so graciously revealed, it is very suno and the brand has not lost an ounce of its culture-inspired prints in the process of dropping prices as low as $19.90. the collection launches on may 20.
it’s rare that i’m like, “man, why don’t i live in england?” simply because i am more than a little obsessed with new york city, but this lulu guinness for uniqlo collaboration is exclusive to the united kingdom. you could say i’m pretty bitter about it.
