Knitta Please! Twist OneSight Up at the Sunglass Hut

Edited by

The rogue knitting artist known as knittaplease is wrapping her yarns all up on some shades. This year’s Sunglass Hut Artist Series has taken on the KNITTA, Magda Sayeg to create limited edition frames that will benefit OneSight, a charity that helps preserve the eyesight of those in need worldwide. Knitta goes all over the globe tagging public spaces (moments, vehicles, road signs…) with her knitwear. It brings a bit of cozy confusion to passersby, and it has brought her (commissioned) to The Standard Hotel, South By Southwest, and the Austin City Limits Festival.

Bensoni Presented a Gothic Wedding Procession for Fall/Winter 2011

Edited by

Bensoni described the fall/winter 2011 collection with characters from a gothic wedding: country cousins in tartan, plaids and military coats; flower girls in the signature melting rose print; bridesmaids wearing audacious dresses to steal attention from the bride; and the somber mother of the bride, clad completely in black, mourning the loss of her daughter’s innocence. The fatigued, Sunday night fashion week crowd at The Standard bounced at the site of luscious furs, heavily adorned Jinny Kim for Bensoni shoes and opulent metallic fabrics. Armor jewelry made a statement with body bling resembling rib cages and neck-to-collarbone beaded chokers. Serious, yet radiant, the wearer won’t have one boring moment in this collection.

Grab Your Skis & Hockey Gear, NUMBER:Lab Will Bring the Rest

Edited by

NUMBER:Lab garments are for men who want to look and feel great before, during and after the gym and beyond. Designer Luis Fernandez stayed true to well-tailored essentials and casual-cool sportswear in the Fall/Winter 2011 collection. Setting the mood with a hockey game on the ice rink outside The Standard, handsome garments in grey and navy were splashed with bright neon yellow, cobalt and purple accents. Nylon parkas and wool blazers were layered atop woven shirts and cotton trousers. Attendees were feisty and energetic as music from Depeche Mode, Air and Cut Copy filled the crowded room. Preppy but not stuffy, NUMBER:Lab had the sporty, sexy, low-maintenance gentleman in mind for F/W.
