Candice Swanepoel is an Urban Warrior for Vogue China

Amanda Gabriele — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:28:43 +0000

Bronzed and beautiful as always, only Candace Swanepoel could pull-off a sweaty, matted-down hair, I-just-worked-out look this well. Photographed by Daniel Jackson for the February 2012 issue of Vogue China, Candy sports sporty looks from Alexander Wang, Stella McCartney, Balenciaga, Y-3 and Narciso Rodriguez, artfully styled by Alastair McKimm. Take notes ladies – this is what a city workout should look like.

Technically Awesome Winter Jackets

Jessica Lapidos — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:30:00 +0000

It’s days like today that send us north easterners into a frightened frigid frenzy of layers and shivers as we push our way though the cold front. My new vintage Oscar de la Renta mohair may work in the upper 30s, low 40s, but send me below freezing and I may need something a little more high tech. Luckily, companies are hard at work developing coats that keep you super warm and not looking like a bulky snowman. They also sometimes serenade you, or protect you from ballistics. What I’m saying is that these are not your average jackets. No. These are technically awesome.

Indie Wish List: What Lester Wants for Christmas

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 22:04:19 +0000

I’ve never cared much for Christmas — aside from a really long vacation from school or work, I never really got the fuss. In fact, I’d more than happy to ignore this holiday and just get wasted, eat Chinese food and catch the premiere of The Iron Lady. However, in the spirit of the season, I came across a few items that struck my fancy and would make even my Grinch’s heart grow marginally larger.

Formichetti’s Formidable Year

Lester Brathwaite — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 22:56:37 +0000

Nicola Formichetti was busy in 2010 keeping Gaga in meat gowns and machine gun bustiers. Along the way he even managed to style a few editorial spreads and ad campaigns. No doubt he was one of the driving creative forces for the past 12 months, but what were his favorite moments?

MUST HAVE: Y-3 x Adidas Honja High ($290)

Jason Chan, Señor — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 17:39:23 +0000

Call me a sucker for studs, but these new Y-3 high-top sneakers in collaboration with Adidas are bad, bad-ass. Pair them with this Burberry jacket and you’re well-equipped with horrible, pun-laced pick-up lines. Sounds like a win. More looks after the jumpity jump.

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Y-3 Spring 2010

Kirby Marzec — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:04:51 +0000

Notorious for an athletic aesthetic is Yohji Yamamoto’s Y-3 label, and the Spring 2010 collection was no exception. As if the Japanese flag tees and Y-3 logo sweats weren’t a dead giveaway, the sport of the season was soccer. Despite the majority of the collection being abstract athletic-wear and casual lounge pieces, netting was involved to create several outstanding tops and dresses. I can’t say I’m floored by this collection, but it’s still pretty impressive what Yamamoto can do to the average pair of gym shorts!

Re(Capsule): Y-3 By Yohji Yamamoto Spring 2010 Collection

Y-3 is launching some bright and unique high tops for Spring 2010. I love the speckled ones the most. Trying to find truly fashionable sneakers these days isn’t the easiest, but Y-3 does a good job. Be sure to check out everything Y-3 has to offer at their website.

SHOP Y-3 | Tube Spant $$

Kirby Marzec — Wed, 20 May 2009 17:21:36 +0000

If you thought drop-crotch pants were hard enough to describe, try explaining to a fellow fashionsta what a “spant” is. Take a look at the amazingness above and you’ll see that the edgy, athletic label, Y-3′s, spant isn’t a pair of pants or a skirt, but more like an oversized pair of wool/jersey shorts with a single, attached legging. The spant, complicated as it may be to explain, is incredibly versatile, with the ability to be dressed up with heels or dressed down with sandals. I’d totally rock this out with a slim tank and a boyfriend blazer. For $276, the Y-3 spant isn’t terribly priced, but I’d totally love to see these in superfine wool dresspants!

Sang your pair of Y-3 spants at Oak NYC!

A Whole New High-Top

Sneaky Steve.

Why do guys commonly use the term “high-tops” to mean the classic Converse sneakers or the recently popular Nike Dunks? You can never go wrong pairing your black Converse with a pair of raw denim straight legs, a black button-up and a few accessories here and there. And we all know how versatile those Nike Dunks can be…a red and black pair to match your plaid or even neons to go with all of your hiliter yellows, oranges and greens. But take a look around…your brother, your cousin, your best friend’s uncle’s ex-wife’s son’s next-door neighbor ALL have these shoes. I assure you, there are other high-top options out there!

Above are a few pairs I came across while searching Ssense and Revolve Clothing. Although these high-tops are rather similar to the designs and concepts of Converse and Nike Dunks (slim fit, aeration pores, ankle laces) they have enough detail and flare to make them unique. Depending on the brand and material, these shoes can set you back anywhere from $100-$400…but it beats looking like every other Beatle band reject and fake NBA star out there!

NY Fashion Week: Y-3

Rebecca Alexander — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 00:00:50 +0000

Boring, way too sporty, and very similar to their last Spring collection, this seasons Y-3 was not even worth attending. They showed absolutly nothing innovative for next Spring and just represented current trends and ideas. Plus, how many sheer tops can you put on one runway and call it a fashion show?
