Creating versatile and sophisticated pieces, fashion designer Magalis Garcia has a ton to offer. With apparel constructed as pure art, Magalis certainly knows the meaning of unique. Varied materials, colors, and textures all make an appearance throughout the collections. The designer tends to focus much of the designing toward dresses; however, there are other pieces worked into the various lines.

I love when celebs wear white, it seems so elegant, plus since we never really get to see their wedding photos, it’s a good indicator of what they might have looked like on their wedding day. In Beyonce’s case, I am more interested in the black and white shoes she’s rocking. Anyone know the designer? Love love love!

UPDATE: Just got a press release with the name of the designer, Toni Maticevski!

Contrary to my typical opinion, Emma Bell managed to create a fall line acceptable for all black and white lovers. Praised by many blogger users, Bell has linked together a gothic, Harajuku-esque line to excite the fashion taste buds of the springtime black wearers all around. Modesty is clearly out the window with hamburger pasties and floral tights, but I think this may be a good thing. What I’m dying to find: a guy who is confident enough to wear canary yellow pants with a wolf painted on them. Wearable art to the extreme, Bell’s pink and blue reflective-raver throw-up brings a good change to the typical black-white-gray of fall.

While spending some quality New York bumming in the Meatpacking District this weekend, I stumbled upon a little  boutique by the name of Destination. Though the shop had a wide variety of great fashion accessories, I was immediately drawn to wooden case containing dozens of incredible French-text etched silver rings, bracelets and necklaces.

The designer, Serge Thoraval, got his start in the jewelry business when a fellow jeweler asked for his sowdering assistance in a Yves Saint Laurent accessory collection. Sparking his interest, Thoraval began his own personal collection, Atelier Serge Thoraval, and has since worked with designers Thierry Mugler, Claude Montana, Lanvin Haute Couture and Joseph on collaborations. 

The jewelry itself is industrial and rough but the etched French quotes, collected from various authors, invoke a bit of emotion with their meaning. The best part about Serge Thoraval’s work is that it’s all one of a kind. Each piece is molded, sized and etched by hand, providing complete uniqueness. Honestly, this is some of the best handcrafted work I’ve seen in a while!

Hartmann Nordenholz was founded by Filip Fiska and Agnes Schorer in 2000, under the expert guidance of Helmut Lang, Marc Bohan and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Filip learned from the mastery of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Viktor&Rolf and Raf Simons, but I think the collection stands on its own, away from other influencers.

The Aerin Rose line of separates allows women to find the perfect suit that fits everybody and every body…With bra sized separates (from AA to DDD and even G) in many different styles and designs, you need to look no further when finding the perfect suit.

The moment you slip on an Aerin Rose swimsuit, you will see the superior construction on the inside, allowing for great fit and functionality.  The suits start by incorporating the basic elements of a well-fitted bra (cup depth, specially lined fabrics and strap width). Then, rigorous testing and fitting sessions ensure that the designs on the outer silhouette create a clean and contemporary look around the foundation garment that lies within. The final result is a swimsuit that uses a slim back line, formed cups, bracing and underwire that enhance your natural curves and make you look as great as you feel.

Take it from a girl with big boobs, it’s hard to find a suit these days, with so many skimpy ill fitting styles, the Aerin Rose suit is a miracle. I’ve never found a suit that fits so well (my fave, the one I ordered, is above), and still looks girly and beach ready. Forget Victoria’s Secret, with their overpriced, cheaply made suits that only look good on Gisele (that would be photoshop), and order from the experts of bathing suits…

Currently addicted to Topsy Turvy hats. The “Be Mine” is so classic and the circus inspired ringleader hats have Britney Spears comeback tour written all over them. I’m currently buying one for Becks. I have a couple fantasies these head toppers might help out with. Grab the whip.

Her work reads like a Parisian fairy tale…Turquoise, opal, jade, coral, ivory – every vitrine has its color, its theme. Her creations are like stories to be read. There is the imaginary of a terrifying bestiary worthy of Jérome Bosch paintings, from which she diverts the diabolical for the beauty of their forms: snakes, bats, wasps, frogs or monkeys adorned with diamonds are on familiar terms with gargantuesque stones, cut to amaze, so much so that the volumes express themselves largely on one’s hand. Each piece of jewelry is unique and one of a kind.

Print Liberation recently recieved a purchase from yours truly, as I fell in love with their amazing tee shirts. The shirts are very political and deal with the God awful economy that we are all stuck in right now. The shirts are whitty and cheap, and I can’t wait to get mine! Get one for yourself on their website!

L.A. based designer John Ward has revived the idea of luxe sportswear with his new line, Maggie Ward. Taking a fresh, updated approach to modern basics, his Fall 2009 collection features elegant body-hugging leggings, tanks, thin knit sweaters and bodysuits that you probably wouldn’t want to actually do any real physical activity in. Using non-traditional materials such as artesian Japanese fabrics and washable stretch leather and velvet, these pieces only look casual yet are nonetheless comfortable. In addition to opulent details, Ward’s penchant for architecture is evident throughout the collection with the use of geometric patterns and semi-structural designs. From partying to shopping to just plain chillin’, Ward’s blend of simplicity and luxury makes this label a truly transitional staple.
