The 2014 Converse Jack Purcell: Shibori Edition

The Jack Purcell of Converse has always been a pretty interesting pair of shoes. Still not content with what they have to offer, Converse will soon offer the Shibori version of their popular shoe line.


The word Shibori means "twisting" in Japanese. Shibori is a type of handicraft, similar to tie dyeing, wherein a sheet of canvas is dipped into dye and twisted to make interesting patterns.


The process utilized to make these shoes will ensure that each and every pair is unique. I personally love the blue color of the Shibori and I'll definitely look out for them. These shoes will soon be available in a limited number of Converse stores.

Are You Ready for a Plunge Bra? The New Sexy Low

In a world of Spanx and anything tighter than a corset, the big reveal nowadays is often centered on the mammaries. You can say cleavage bra or push bra, but those two things are not the same, the same goes for the new trendy bra called the Plunge Bra, the brassiere that aims to create an alluring low center cleavage.


Though there's the Side Cleavage Bra for last year's celebrity side boob trend (I just sincerely hope all that side-boob expose' will come to an end).  


As some sideboobs went shopping about tinseltown totally braless!


And I hope the Plunge Bra trend is the answer to that and what with their killer U-Plunge Bra, I am not surprised. Celebs have taken to wearing U-Plunge bras on the red carpet like ducks to water.


Plunge bras offer a 2 cup boob boost plus a sexy center cleave meant for dresses like these. The cups are molded, no fabric lines or seams can disrupt the boob contour and silhouette. They also offer great breast support, not bad if you're choosing to going 'low' for the occasion.



No matter how low the cut, or how creatively revealing your dress maybe with a Plunge bra you can confidently stride around without feeling naked.

Missoni Zigzag Twizy

Missoni is putting its iconic signature print on this car! Its kind of a Twizy, but its the only car in the world customized by Missoni, and sold at auction for 130,000 CHF in Switzerland in support of the Action Innocence cause- to protect children's dignity and integrity online.



This isn't the first charity campaign by the Missoni brand, earler efforts include the Pudsey Teddy Bear.


To raise funds for BBC Children in Need's charity projects, the classic Missoni fabrics in bright colours were used to make this lovable bear.



Quite sad, the design icon Ottavio Missoni died last month at the age of 92. He started his fashion atelier with his wife Rosita and created his famous zigzag fabric patterns using his skills on simple graph paper.



His zigzag legacy still lives on and remains a central part of the Missoni brand.

The Guy at the Desk

My personal assistant is taking notes today. And he keeps me busy all week.


He's terrible with errands though. I asked him to get me milk, eggs and a copy of Vogue Italia and he comes back like this:


How can I even work sensibly under these conditions?

If you have any nagging questions about fashion, do leave a comment or watch my PA do his hot and nasty in this video.

Dress Trends 2012 from New York Fashion Week


WSJ declares that there's nothing new to see at NYFW. Okay, so was it that boring?

"Everyone's still doing color blocking. It's just the same old thing," - Maren Hartman, top U.S. trend analyst

Really now? Maybe I wasn't born far back into fashion's history to notice that this season seems to be an awkward repeat. It would be terrible to say that New York Fashion Week 2012 wasn't a bit fashion forward.

What is the Theme Song of the Burberry Body TV Commercial?


If you've heard that sensual and dramatic song from the Burberry Body TV Commercial featuring Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and her gorgeous gams. Well, I bet you're wondering what the title is so you can download it pronto! The song is kinda a cross between what Augustina and Bryan Adams would crap out anyway. The song title is Rosé by The Feeling
 


Still, how action bonehead Jason Statham managed to snag her is still beyond me :( Let's just say this  Victoria's Secret model may be the sexiest, but not the brightest tool in the shed.
