OMG Blog reports a display of “mannequins with sad clown faces dressed up as homeless people” on the co-op floor.

One of our favorite street photographers Scott Schuman, better known at the Sartorialist, has organized his own pop-up at Barneys! Full of lust-worthy items, Schuman displays his luxurious taste at the ‘SartoriaLUST,’ which includes pieces from Maison Martin Margiela, Dries Van Noten, APC, and Ralph Lauren, among others.  Prices are high, but isn’t that the point of lust-worthy?

Natalia Brilli has resurrected a rock band from the dead!!! And they’re on tour…

The Parisian-based designer has taken her craft to a whole new level engulfing three rockers and their instruments in the finest lambskin.  The entire installation took 500 hours to put together and required 70 skins to cover the entire set.

Currently, the band is in transit heading to Miami for Art Basel from the 2nd to the 10th of December to play at the store Alchemist. “After it’s headed to Barney’s in New York, Dusseldorf in January, Copenhagen Fashion Week in February at the store Paris Texas,  Vienna in March at Park, Montreal in April at Reborn, Hong Kong in May at On Pedder and then onto Singapore and Sydney.” according to Dazed Digital.

Pieces from the band will be aailable in limited numbers and signed by Natalia Brilli herself. I officially have a covetable on my Chanukah list…

Alexander Wang, Michael Kors and Stella McCartney are just a few of the designers tapped by Barneys to give peace a chance. Each one has designed a one of a kind dress for retailer to be on display for their Have A Hippie Holiday windows.

The dresses go on display on Sunday. Ralph Lauren, Martin Margiela, Isabela Toledo, and Narcisco Rodriquez will also join the mix.

Fiorentini + Baker Double Buckle Boot. Available at Barney's Coop ($445)

This Fall one of the hottest trends is a solid high leather boot. They are easy to wear with just about anything, and they are a great way to kill that stupid rain boot trend that Marc Jacobs was so content on sparking. Now I will say that with this much leather involved, unless you strike vintage store gold, it’s going to be hard to find a pair for less than $200. However $200 is not bad when you think about it. You are making an investment here. If you buy a pair of fairly standard boots they should last you years, and they tend to be rather timeless. Here are a few of my favorites, from the cheaper to the more expensive. 

Heutchy Black Leather and Canvas Boot. Available at Oak ($488)

H By Hudson Kaiser Boot. Available at Oak ($332)

Barney's Leather Round Toe Boot. Available at Barney's ($250)

Frye Brando Lace-Up Boot. Available at Urban Outfitter Online ($260)

Bed Stu Fort Boot. Available at Urban Outfitters Online ($220)

Like I said, don’t get discouraged from looking for cheaper. Thrift stores and vintage shops are great places to find good boots, but for those of you who have a money tree in your backyard or just don’t have the time to look all over the city for a pair, check out what the Internet has to offer.

Thanks to Barney’s, Oak and Urban Outfitters for the images.

Although Helmut Lang himself left the company back in 2005, the company still impresses me with what the produce every year. This collection is one of my most sought after collections for this Fall (and rapidly approaching Winter). The neck work on the pieces is incredible, each one is different and brilliant. The collection reminds me of a John Varvatos collection, and you can’t go wrong with Johnny V. The collection is well composed, and gets two thumbs up for sure from me. The Helmut Lang collection is currently available at Barney’s and Barney’s Coop locations, so get on that.

Thanks to Skeleton Legs for the pictures.

Wode by Boudicca will be hitting shelves soon at certain Barney’s stores across the nation. The revolutionary spray-can design sprays blue perfume that will initially color both the wearers skin and clothes, after a few seconds the colors goes away and the scent stays. This is an amazing idea, I just hope it works better than those disappearing ink pranks that didn’t always full disappear. The cost is $145 and there is an awesome video on the Boudicca website showing how the product works.
