Chanel Couture, Fall 2011

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Hellin Kay

Lustful layers for the rock and roll widow (and maybe a few Upper East Siders as well…) Love the monotone lacy frills and thrills at Chanel‘s Couture show. Dowdy never looked hotter.

FEED 1000

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Hellin Kay


Lauren Bush’s FEED organization collaborated with Judith Leiber to make this rad clutch I am obsessing over. Each one sells for $495 and $250 from every bag sold will go to supporting global food-supply programs which translates into 1,000 school meals for children in need (hence “FEED 1000”). The bag went on sale in May at Bergdorf Goodman‘s and online. I met Lauren a few months ago at Aspen Fashion Week where she participated in a panel and became an even bigger fan of her and the organization which does so much good. What better way to do good then to look good?

EcoStiletto

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Hellin Kay

I love this eco-stylish website I just found out about. Eco Stiletto (LOVE the name!!) was created two years ago by Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff and the name is just a small part of what makes it so great. Angela Lindvall, who is a big environmentalist as well as an overall rad chic, cool mom and legendary model has been doing guest blogging for them. The website is devoted to all things eco-chic, sustainable and green which I am a huge fan of. I styled & photographed Angela in eco-conscious brands for the Green Issue of WWD in 2008 which is what these shots are from.

M83, New Album & Tour

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Hellin Kay

M83 is Anthony Gonzalez. He creates dreamy melancholic soundscapes that take me back to, well, years ago to be honest. I love this sound, it goes well with wandering the streets of foreign cities, exploring the world on your own and finding whatever you’re looking for… He has a new album out later this year and goes on tour in October with a stop in LA November 9th and NYC on November 22nd. Full tour dates below… Continue reading →

RIP, Cy Twombly

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Hellin Kay

American artist Cy Twombly died today at 83 years old. He created beautiful large scale drawings and paintings with amazing energy and layers, introducing them to the world with his first solo show in 1951 in NYC. I love his work. A magical soul. RIP…

Port Magazine

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Hellin Kay

Hmm… All the men I want to marry are publishing and appearing in Port, a new style quarterly out of London. Marketing themselves as “The Intelligent Magazine for Men,” they’ve got Daniel Day-Lewis, Johnny Depp and David Remnick as cover subjects which pretty much says it all. Love it. The second issue is on newsstands now with the Editor in Chief of the New Yorker on the cover. Sigh…

Alexis Mabille Couture, Fall 2011

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Hellin Kay

Alexis Mabille Couture Fall 2011. Really wish I was in Paris right now… Slightly off subject, I saw Woody Allen‘s new film, “Midnight In Paris” over the weekend and died over it. The world is a different place and anytime someone or something can take me back to another era I go willingly…

Decomposition Book

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Hellin Kay

I love composition books. I use them for everything from inspiration collage keepers to journals and at shows in NYC, Milan and Paris during fashion week to take notes on trends and ideas throughout the collections. The Decomposition Book is made of 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper, chlorine-free, using soy-ink, which allows the papers to be recycled again (that is if you decide to recycle inspiration…) Genius. And so cute! I love the cover design.

Buddy Holly Tribute Album

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Hellin Kay

Oh my lord, this album is so insanely good… It’s a new tribute of Buddy Holly songs done by a killer roster of music talent. Rave On Buddy Holly just came out June 28th on Fantasy Records/Concord Music Group and has everyone from Florence and The Machine (whose track is beyond) to CeeLo and Julian Casablancas. Dying over every track, listen to the album below… Continue reading →
