Designer Discovery: GAR-DE

Edited by

Designer Discovery: GAR DE

New York design collective GAR-DE — French for “protection” — is committed to innovation and quality.

GAR-DE works with different artists each season to “create a brand that is subversive and considered; conceptually grounded with a sense of humor.”  Designers used leather for their Fall debut collection, and now bless us with these leather, Vespa-inspired styles for Spring.  I am no less than infatuated with the green jacket’s cut and color.

You can find Gar-de at OAK NYC.  28 bond st. NYC 10012

Bugatti by Hermes

On Monday Rebecca wrote about how she wanted the new Fiat 500 by Diesel, well after two more designer/fashion inspired cars were spotted today, I am officially over this lame trend. The new Hermes Citroen 2CV and the Volkswagon Beetle for Barney’s are pretty damn lame if you ask me. As if the orginal car isn’t expensive enough (with the exception of the VW) now you have to pay the added super premium price to have the left over fabric from an old Hermes line stiched over the seats. The only really cool vehicle I see here is the Louis Vuitton Vespa, mostly because you can actually see the signiture monogram print. If you like Hermes or Diesel enough to buy their collaboration cars, save your money on the car and spend it on their clothes where it should be spent in the first place.

Thanks to Selectism for the images.
