The Friday Five: Classic Karl Lagerfeld

| Leave a Reply

It’s amazing how some people’s style is so instantly recognizable. Karl Lagerfeld, for example, is so distinguishable because of his white ponytail-tied hair, dark sunglasses, high-collared shirts, gloves, and random chain accessories.

I laughed quite a bit while I was researching items to include in today’s Karl-centred post. Could you imagine your face as the object of a bag, for example? Have a look…

Marketplace: Joie de Vivre

| 1 Commentary

Joie de vivre is the French expression meaning “enjoyment of life”. It’s commonly used in English conversation to mean the joy of anything and everything. I had a weekend that was full of joie de vivre; I met a friend in Toronto for a weekend full of good meals, laughter, and great views of the (very) busy city. I’ll be sharing a few highlights on the blog this week. For now, here are some joie de vivre graphics to get the week started off right!

Marc Newson & the Supersized Zipper

Industrial designer Marc Newson‘s most recent collaboration with G-Star RAW has resulted in a unique collection of t-shirts, sweatshirts and pants. Striking graphic prints, bold colours and metallic finishes make these pieces worthy investments this spring/summer.

I think this white-on-white t-shirt with the larger than large zipper print is pretty cool.
