Insa Heels: Its Like "Sex In The City" meets "Beat Street"........I Like That One...





"The brand new line of London-based, limited-edition designs is the perfect marriage of sexy and edgy. The first collection consists of just three patterns, each printed onto the leather of round-toe, ten-centimeter stilettos then finished with a high gloss"......trust me, if you're a sneakerhead, you definately understand.

"INSA's world is one where fetishism, desire and graffiti collide; through extensive street level work and fine art INSA has taken the iconic high heel image and made it his own, infusing a simple, yet clever, graphic 'logo' with meaning and relevance. High heels represent a myriad of different things to different people; sex, money, fashion, the battle between masculine and feminine sexuality, dominant and submissive, consumerism and object fetishism; all of which are themes actively explored in INSA's work. Heels themselves are often, of course, objects of desire and objets d'art in their own right"....I get turned on just reading this...

The fantasy of 'INSA HEELS' is now a reality...

What I'm buggin out on is the shere brilliance of combining femme-chic with "graph"....Pure SICKNESS!

Fashion Alert: Ingwa; Melero..................."My Chick Burnin down Bergdorf"


CHECK OUT THE COLLECTION HERE

Ingwa; Melero is crafted by the design team of Nike Ingwa Clausing and Tina Hernaiz Melero. Nike and Tina’s love of design began as childhood friends in a small town in Germany. Inspired by their mothers’ handcrafting books from the 70’s, they began making their own clothes at an early age. Soon, their hobby became obsession and they spent all of their free time designing outfits for themselves and their friends.





Nike’s passion led her to study tailoring at an haute couture house in Hamburg, Germany. She then went on to receive a degree in fashion design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Tina also pursued her dream, receiving a master’s degree in graphic design from Fachhoch-schule in Duesseldorf, Germany. The draw of the New York fashion scene soon took hold of both Nike and Tina, leading them to move to NYC permanently in 2001, where they founded Ingwa; Melero.



Ingwa; Melero’s incorporation of traditional handcrafting techniques, with fitted feminine silhouettes, continues to capture attention of the New York fashion scene, as well as the rest of the nation. Ingwa; Melero can currently be found at Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman and numerous specialty boutiques in New York, Los Angeles and around the country....

Fashion Alert: Claudia Schulz...........Crickett Anyone!

And you thought I lost my wit and banter.......Well today lovely people, I like to show you one of the most interesting, thought out concepts missing in fashion....."creative head-wear"...There was a time when a woman (and men as well), were seen as distinguished with the proper hat. Women wore hats not just for Church or Funerals, but because it complimented the outfit and it made them look BAD (in the good way)....So today, I bring you Claudia Schulz....

"Claudia Schulz grew up in Berlin, Germany and moved to Vancouver, Canada in 1999. Her hat designs are inspired by European 1920’s and 1930’s styles. Each of Claudia’s pieces are uniquely designed based upon classic minimalist design principles showing simple lines, striking colours and refined accent details, creating a wearable, modern-urban hats"....(shouts to SD)...Enjoy the pics below:
