Designer Daily: Haus Alkire

Edited by

Haus Alkire has dabbled in subtle psychedelics. The near-grayscale trip of mirrored shapes kaleidoscopes into light flowers over twisted classics. Julie Haus and Jason Alkire have been collaborating for over a decade, Haus running the design end with Alkire’s artwork and photography. The goal is melding fashion and art and they do so with haunting effects. Their flagship store thrives on Broome St. in SoHo, and they’ve just been granted the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation award for womenswear. See “Collection One,” handmade in New York City with laser cut lambskin, cashmere and the softest silks.

Clearly it’s safe to say that supermodel Karlie Kloss is history in the making. And even though we’ve seen more of her in the nude recently, this January 2012 catalog shot with  Guy Aroch’s lens for the Free People is a reminder that Miss Kloss is still the same girl next door that everyone loves. As Kloss being the NYC girl that she is shot roaming favorite parts of New York City with pretzels and denim, these final looks are to die for. Don’t you just love her?

Designer Daily: Dezso by Sara Beltrán

Edited by

After 12 years of styling in New York City, Sara Beltrán took her fashionable self to Jaipur, India where she now creates jewelry sourced from the beaches she visits around the world. Talk about living the dream! She casts shells in gold, finds exotic stones and diamonds, scours fossilized sharks’ teeth and makes Mexican friendship bracelets as well. She was just announced the winner of the Ecco Domani Accessories Award and was granted $25,000 to continue on making whimsical jewelry that speaks to the sea lovers within us all. She named her label Dezso (the Latin word for desire) most likely because this was her greatest desire, and now it’s one of ours, too. See her seafaring wares here.

Kendall Jenner for Lovecat Magazine: She Loves Exclamation Points

Edited by

I’m so tired of hearing about the Kardashian klan, I could just keel. But cute younger sis twins Kylie and Kendall Jenner are the prettiest, plastic surgery and diet pill-free (at least we think) siblings of the bunch. Lovecat Magazine thinks so too, as the publication recently interview Kendall for Issue 3. One thing we’ve learned from the Q&A? Jenner loves exclamation points, maybe a little too much.

Kate Lanphear on Fav “Fierce Ass” Jewelry Designer & Elle Interns with Sweaters on their Heads

Edited by

Kate Lanphear was the toast of Burberry Soho Wednesday night. The formidable Style Director of Elle stood stunning, as bloggers and industry darlings mingled, champagned and hardly touched the bite sized English fare that circulated. Fish’n'chips? Burberry, please! How are we supposed to talk to anyone? Perhaps I’m slightly sour at not winning this Burberry bag in the Instagram contest, but I’m more jazzed that I got to chat with the fearsome Lanphear. First things first, I lusted over her ring. And then she let me in on her favorite “fierce ass bitch” jewelry designer.

STREET-ART FAVES: Photos to Entice the Urban Explorer

Edited by

Culture-bots all over NY have an opinion about their favorite spots to oggle street-art and this zeitgeist reporter is no different. This year has been an especially exciting time for the country’s most controversial canvasses. Between the Banksy documentary, news that graffiti mecca 5 Pointz will be closing, and the “Art in the Streets” exhibition at LA’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the walls and buildings in the five boroughs have been getting just as much attention as any runway during fashion week. We’re here to help you feel included in the conversation – to make sure that you can throw down with an avenue (or two) that boasts tags, colors, and something truly special or unique. In the spirit of the museum round-up we presented a few weeks ago, here are some noteworthy spots to view urban Picasso’s throughout New York.
