Helmut Lang AW08 Collection

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.

Runway Rundown: John Varvatos

Move over Form because John Varvatos does it again, and steals my heart as my number one favorite line of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Due to the fact that I can’t wear anything Form makes, I have to give my number one vote to the amazing line curated by the one and only John Varvatos. There is not a single item in this collection I wouldn’t wear. The colors, the prints, the textures and fabrics are all perfectly composed. I going to have to start saving paychecks now, because come Spring 2009 I’ll need some cash to buy this entire line.

Thanks to Selectism for ruining my bank account with these pictures

John Varvatos Opens on the Bowery

John Varvatos opened his new boutique at 315 Bowery this weekend — the former address of New York’s CBGB. According to Varvatos, who took MTV News on a tour of his latest store, the club’s original walls — punched-in holes, cracked paint and all — went untouched, as did the antiquated ventilation system that runs throughout the space.

It remains, along with the graffiti and band stickers, some of them hanging by a strand of glue. The staircase leading to what once were the club’s restrooms, which have now been converted into storage space, is still covered in marker and stickers.

John’s love of music and rockstars allowed him to have a heart in preserving this monument to the 80’s wave of punk that once dominated New York. We’re excited about his promise of monthly bands and his must have spring collection.
