Barbour escalates the hype ladder and we can observe a resurgence of the iconic Barbour jacket in the street from both hip early adopters to the more traditional clusters of the society. I’m not sure I can explain such resurrection but I sure comes from the UK. The jacket has become so common there that it is almost an institution.

Goyard, the luxurious Parisian luggage maker founded in 1853, somehow manages to stay hip. The monogramming is easy to spot but the custom made program will let you create the format and color scheme you want so that it’s unique.

Once again this week, Phoebe Philo impressed us : throwing a wonderful (though really expensive – 1350€) touch of excentricity on the classic minimalist Celine SS2012 collection! No doubt that a promising future for all the “Made in Céline” products is still looming ahead! Bravo Ms Philo! Read the rest of this entry »

I know some girls who aren’t going to miss these Céline pumps when they hit the stores in the coming days ! Although they are available in all black suede goatskin, I really like the dualtone contrast, which to me highlights the perfect sole curve and platform look of the shoes. More colors available after the break ! Read the rest of this entry »
