Alexander Wang’s Rocco Bag-mania

20091030_wangminiduffle_250x375

During the trunk show of Alexander Wang's Spring 2010 collection, Barneys has announced that the Rocco back will need to be pre-ordered with 400-plus name list. How is it possible that before this handbag even hit the stores, it already sold out? I have to say that Alexander Wang definitely thought about what would make this bag stand out from the crowd, its not the color, its not the size, its not the unique shape, its definitely the metal outsole which is added from the bottom of the bag. Most soccer shoes have outsole for "traction and structural reinforcement for stability", why does the bag need it? Definitely to attract attention of fashionistas.


Shopbop.com also sold out of this bag immediately in blue denim leather not leaving us any opportunity to have a choice in color. The only thing we can do now is wait until this bag will appear on the shelves of the boutiques and online stores for the appealing price of $850.

Like that Feeling of “Being Naked”

tee

Nobody can survive without at least one comfy T-shirt in the closet. I just recently discovered light weight soft super quality T-shirts and tank tops made by KAIN. They were designed by vintage store owner Amanda Kain who had a particular thought in mind: she presented a relaxed slightly oversized drappy style which made these T-shirts look elegant & stylish (just like the feeling of "being naked" in my point of view). Most of LA has already been magnetized to wear these every day. This label does not present anything over the top & complicated, it simply tees which are made to make your skin feel soft and comfy in addition to chic hip look.


They are sold at most of the online boutiques like shopbop.com, revolvingclothing.com, net-a-porter.com, chickdowntown.com.

Macy's as any other retailer is looking for new business opportunities in order to improve their sales this year. Anything new, innovative & fresh would be good to start off the Fall season & try to spark up the retail business. Finally something has come their way: Rachel Roy has teamed up with Macy's to create her own collection RACHEL by Rachel Roy which offers sportswear, shoes, jewelry and purses priced from $59 to $299.


Rachel Roy is a Manhattan based designer. Before she became exclusive with her own line, she worked as a stylist for magazines and music videos, later was hired as a creative director for Rocawear. She is no stranger to the world of high fashion and has some great designs & unique pieces which are sold in Bergdorf Goodman, Nieman Marcus, online retailers like shopbop.com & others.

"The art of fashion and seeing it come to life through personal expression and interpretation is a huge catalyst for me. Accessible fashion has always been a passion of mine and was a priority consideration in creating the Rachel Rachel Roy collection for Macy's. I chose to design the collection for the younger sister of Rachel Roy" - said Rachel Roy. I think you should definitely explore her new collection in Macy's stores.
