Comme des Garcon + Beatles
Rei Kawakubo, so much more than a bag designer
Rei Kawakubo founded Comme des Garcon, the anti-fashion, austere, sometimes deconstructed garments fashion line. You know, the heart cardigan that Kanye and Drizzy rock. She did a H&M collabo back in 2008. Remember?
For Rei Kawakubo’s hotly anticipated collaboration with The Beatles, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree… Yes please 🙂 I love bags that are interesting because they are great conversation starters. BUT I’m just wondering if everything slides to the slant when you carry this bag. Ummm. I am all about optical illusions but I wouldn’t want to be a banana squished at the bottom of this apple bag.
Kawakubo respected Sir Paul McCartney’s request that none of the bags be made of leather, so all pieces feature printed PVC or embossed polyurethane. Items in the line will sell for $115 (for a t-shirt) to $860 (for a higher-end bag), and they’ll start selling at the Trading Museum in Tokyo on Nov. 20. You want one?

Goodbye Douchbag, Hello Gentlemen
Pick up the newest H&M magazine (free at all H&M stores) and you will find out that Comme des Garcon x H&M Collection hits stores this November. Very exciting stuff! I loved the article written about the five phenomena this autumn 2008. I will share with you my favourite:Mr Right
Under a perfect white shirt beats the heart of a knight.
The Gentlemen is back. You will see him striding down the runway…their look is styled down to the smallest detail. Gentlemen’s club like the 21 Club in Manhattan are on the upswing and packed full of young people. Being a gentlemen is about being the best man you can be, involves a lot more than just a smart wardrobe, its more an attitude than a look. Rediscovering old school values like prode, intelligence and dignity. It means being satisfied with no less than the perfect jeans, the best tailored white shirt or the sweetest sneakers rather than collecting labels. In short, being a gentleman means shaking off cynicism, being yourself and loving every minute of it.
