repetto_suede_crystal_ballerina_flats.jpg
As an ex-ballerina (erm, I use that term quite loosely), I have a soft spot for pretty ballet flats and especially if they're made by the French ballet shoes company Repetto. They arguably know fit and fabric better than anyone and I swear once you squeeze - or more likely, lovingly dip - your feet into a pair of their pumps, you won't want to wear anything else.

Designer Profile: Alexandre Herchcovitch


  • Alexandre Herchcovitch was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

  • Though raised and educated in traditional Jewish environments, Herchcovitch was also heavily influenced by Sao Paulo's alternative club scene.

  • Herchcovitch's aesthetic has changed dramatically since the brand's inception in 1992, but his work is always bold, quirky, impeccably tailored and displays some form of contrast or conflict.

  • The label produces several lines a year including menswear, womenswear, lingerie, men's underwear, jewelry and denim.

A good bit before Ikea wandered its way there, Erie Basin had already found a loyal following in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The one-of-a-kind shop scours the country near and far to find chic, moody, and yes a bit eerie examples of jewelry and objects from the 18th and early 19th centuries. More recently they've been adding modern collections that have the same Gothic feel as their antique finds.



We've been admiring the store from afar for well over a year, ogling their impeccably curated online shop. We finally had a chance to visit the shop for ourselves to add it to the New York shopping guide.



Ogle the online shop yourselves but, if you do get the opportunity, we encourage you to get out to Red Hook and see the real thing.

Erie Basin





A good bit before Ikea wandered it's way there, Erie Basin had already found a loyal following in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The one-of-a-kind shop scours the country near and far to find chic, moody, and yes a bit erie examples of jewelry and objects from the 18th and early 19th centuries. More recently they've been adding modern collections that have the same Gothic feel as their antique finds.



We've been admiring the store from afar for well over a year, ogling at their impeccably curated online shop. We finally had a chance to visit the shop for ourselves to add it to the New York shopping guide.



Ogle at the online shop yourselves but if you do get the opportunity, we encourage you to get out to Red Hook and see the real thing.

eLuxury soon to shut up shop - nab a shoe bargain now

lamb_chiba_laceup_booties.jpg
I don't know if you've heard the sad news about eLuxury yet. They're due to shut up shop over the next six months or so, in order to become an online magazine concentrating on the luxury market. The LMVH-owned site has been a steadfast online shopping presence for the past eight years, so excuse us if we feel a little teary. However, the good news is the site isn't another victim of the evil recession, but is closing down the retail portion of the site because the brands sold on the site have developed their own strong online presences.

Casual Friday: Onitsuka tiger kimono trainers

If you're a fan of Onitsuka Tiger, you'll be pleased to hear that the stylish Japanese label has introduced another limited edition collection: this time, featuring a fabric printed in a traditional kimono pattern for the latest edition of its 'Mexico' shoe. I've seen this effect used in trainers before, but never so stylishly as Onitsuka has done here, and being a Japanese brand lends a degree of authenticity you won't get from other labels. I love the way the iconic gold stripe contrasts here on the black.

Rochambeau



Rochambeau is the Egyptian name of the rock-paper-scissors game. It's also now the name of the latest promising menswear label to come out of New York. Creative director Michael Venker graduated Parsons in 2007 and was the recipient of the prestigious Golden Thimble award. It was at Parsons' senior thesis show that Venker met partners Joshua Cooper and Laurence Chandler and so Rochambeau was born.



A study between the push and pull of minimal modernism and the intricate detailing of classic menswear, it's no surprise that the Spring 2009 collection was inspired by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Kuma weaves intricate patterns into his consummately modern structures. Similarly, the details in the Rochambeau collection are an essential but not overwhelming part of what is a thoroughly modern and primarily minimal take on menswear.









Rochambeau's Fall 2009 collection will be available at Oak.
