WANTED: Airtex Blue Suede Leah Heels by Alexander Wang

There’s nothing I love more than seeing things that have no business inside a gym, still having that sporty edge, like these ‘Airtex Blue Suede Leah Heels’ by Alexander Wang, of course. 

Wang, a designer who knows + understands the versatility of sportswear, created these sick cobalt blue soft suede sandals, featuring a futuristic mesh front that would compliment any look.  With an adjustable velcro ankle strap + a 3.4 inch chunky cone-shaped mid heel, you could easily inject bold color, with that edgy urban vibe, to your already cool Spring wardrobe.

The ‘Airtex Blue Suede Leah Heels’ by Alexander Wang can be purchased at Avenue 32.

Kelela’s Video For

Check out Kelela‘s video for ‘A Message’, the new track off her forthcoming EP ‘Hallucinogen’.  Directed by Daniel Sannwald, Kelela’s sexy + smooth vocals take us through intoxication + longing, leading to desire, made up of colorful swirls that swallow the artist, turning her into an animated version of herself. A killer collaboration with producer Arca, here’s what Kelela had to say about working with him:

‘We spent the next three days, 14 hours a day talking about our artistic visions + how it intersected with our personal lives, making songs that reflected that while dancing around the room to let it all out. About 5 or 6 demos were born out of these three days.

‘A Message’ is one of the demos that came from those sessions + it speaks to the despair that I was experiencing at the time. The initial version of the song spilled out of us in about 25 minutes. Since then, it’s been like a sculpture that I’ve come to + refined over time, adding a lyric here, refining a melody there, adding a bridge, etc. It’s a process that is now finally complete with its release + I’m so happy that I finally get to share it with all of you.’

Kelela’s forthcoming EP ‘Hallucinogen’ is set to drop March 5th.

Enjoy!

Clean Lines, Structure + Detailed Cuts Sure To Get You Noticed This Spring

image

Designer Alchimionek truly intends on getting you noticed this Spring with the ‘Metropolis’ collection. A minimalistic collection influenced by modern art + urban culture, the pieces throughout this collection are full of effortless chic, complete with raw edges, where all one needs is a pair of cool shoes, a bold lip + plenty of confidence.

image

With this ‘Coral Red Cut Out Top’, also available in black + green, you’re bound to get more than instant air conditioning. Made of stretch scuba jersey, with its raw edges, fitted, long sleeves + length below the waist, paired with high waisted shorts or Alchiomionek’s ‘Pastel Blue Skort’ (below), there’s very little to do to look polished + little dangerous.

image

In this ‘Pastel Blue Skort’, you can enjoy the thrill of wearing a short skirt, without any of the worry of having your underwear show, when bending over.  A close fitting style, this skort has an extra panel of fabric at the front + back, creating the appearance of a sleek mini skirt. A flattering fit created by sitting right at the waist, with its raw edges, you get a smart blend of sporty femininity.  Designed to be worn with the matching jacket below, it has a wrap back with a concealed zip + snap fastening.

In Alchiomionek’s ‘Pastel Blue Cropped Jacket’, you get to make an impact while walking away, with its structured back which gives off the appearance of being darted behind the arms.  Again with raw edges, this tailored cropped jacket, is cut for a loose fit, with no fastening or lining.

The ‘Pastel Blue Top‘ with its raw edges + asymmetric panels, this tailored top, with its loose fit creates a flattering + unique look.  Edgy, chic + very wearable, this V-neck features zip back fastening.  

Now if you have a genius spaghetti strapped, sleeveless or strapless dress + you want to give it more impact, why not try wearing this ‘White Asymmetric Waistcoat’?  With raw edges, asymmetric panels, this tailored coat with its loose fit,  further pushes that edgy + stylish point of view.  With an asymmetric cut, long front below the knee + shorter back, below the waist, you can be sure to show off your assets that were perfected at the gym over the winter.

Fashion Film ‘SHOWER | AUTIE’ Shows You A Different Way On How To Shower

I love this fashion film called ‘SHOWER | AUTIE’ featuring a woman dressed in Autie clothing, as she prepares to jump in the shower then in the tub.  The simplicity of the garments, mixed with the lunacy of showering while dressed, is perfectly tied together by its twisted soundtrack.  The song ‘faking jazz together’ by Connan Mockasin, as simple as it is, makes quite an impact in sounding like a broken music box.

Enjoy!
