Vena Cava Divides Over Shoes

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:06:37 +0000

Vena Cava‘s designing ladies Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai do some long division for footwear. The problem (and the solution) is Ten Over Six. These two hot brands teamed up to make sky high platforms alongside sensible pumps. These shoes ring ideal for the bi-coastal power strider; airy but ready for the chill. They’re out now at Saks and we’re falling head over heels.

Vena Cava for Uniqlo Launches Tomorrow: Sneak Peek Here

Jessica Lapidos — Wed, 11 May 2011 17:49:27 +0000

Some fashion news we can afford to hear about: Vena Cava for Uniqlo launches tomorrow! The much anticipated collaboration kicks off May 12th, at the Uniqlo in Soho tomorrow with the delicate beauty you’d expect from the design duo of Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai. They’ve mixed their soft eye with the technologically advanced and well-priced fabrications of the major Japanese brand.

This collaboration is part of Uniqlo’s initiative to celebrate New York designers. Costello Tagliapietra and Charlotte Ronson have launched collabs there in the last month, and we saw Philip Lim there over the winter.

Each piece is no more than $29.90 – a freaking steal for any of these coveted designers! So thanks Uniqlo for making their stunning aesthetic available for a price that doesn’t jeopardize our first borns.

Check out the line at Uniqlo.

Vena Cava on a 90s Road Trip

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 22:29:22 +0000

As their ‘zine ( a 90s concept in itself) would attest to, Vena Cava was enraptured by the 90s and translated that love to the runways. Cue the cut-outs, crop tops and long sleeve gowns for a hint of tough girl sex appeal.

Working mostly in black, Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock also introduced another 90s staple, color blocking to great effect in a crepe de chine skirt, followed by a blouse in similar fabric and design.

A slate grey leather skirt paired with a jersey silk top in umber provided a strong contrast between the girlish allure and a sort of rugged charm the designers flirted with throughout the collection.

The final look, a pleated chiffon crescent gown with a mid-riff baring cut-out ended the show on a high note. That the model was wearing what appeared to be biker shorts underneath seemed to only reinforce the fact that Buhai and Mayock feel particularly at home amidst a decade that is quickly gaining its moment in fashion.

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Vena Cava Spring 2010

Kirby Marzec — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 14:38:31 +0000

I never viewed Vena Cava as one of the classier labels on the market, but designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock are certainly turning the tables. Spring 2010 introduced a bit more simplistic style with subtle details, while maintaining their playful patterns in elegant cuts. But don’t be fooled, the collection still holds onto that darker, downtown vibe Vena Cava is so well know for!
