The toy watch that all the celebrities want!

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Toy Watch is a label that takes inspiration from high-end watches, creating collections of over-sized, playful plastic timeless pieces.

These Jelly Toywatches use the classic plasteramic face with a matching silicone strap. The face of these Toywatches can be removed from the strap, and put into any other Jelly Collection strap, making it fully interchangeable, and the possibilities almost endless.

Featuring seven black, white, orange, blue, pink, green and yellow color ways, the collection definitely showcases Toy Watch’ ability to be creative and think outside the box.

Toy Watch, a label which takes inspiration from high-end watches, creating collections of over-sized, playful plastic timepieces, has just released its mix-and-match Jelly line, offering nine different faces and eight different straps for a total of 72 options.

All watches are $175; except for the diamond pave face that is $275. Additional straps are $65, if you want more than one color option.

The Jelly can be found at Barneys, Henri Bendel and Bloomingdales Soho.

It’s the perfect accessory to match your Mao dress tunic for your upcoming holidays!

The Sartorialist at Topshop

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

We all know and love Scott Schuman, alias the Sartorialist, the fashion chronicler of the moment.

He started The Sartorialist simply  sharing photos of people that he saw on the streets of New York that he thought looked great. When he worked in the fashion industry for 15 years, he always felt that there was a disconnection between the clothes he was selling in the showroom and the outfits of the people in the streets of NY city.

Now Topshop is celebrating Schuman’s recently published book by creating looks based on five of Schuman’s photographs from New York Fashion Week.

A few months ago, he was classified among the 100 most influential  persons in fashion, congratulated by Karl Lagerfeld for his new book.

His pictures are seen daily by more than 150.000 visitors, his photos give the air of time, inspiring both the fashionista lambda and the creators. His objective and vision consists in capturing  the street style and immortalize his aesthetic feelings.

I was  photographed by someone from his team a few years ago and am amazed to see how his website and reputation grew  so fast.
