Super Soft

I have to be honest, I haven’t always been the biggest fan of Abercrombie, but they did something right when they put this sweater together…check the description out: Super soft, fitted, sexy…ok I added the last one, but you’re definitely winning me over with the whole super soft descrip. It almost makes you look forward to the cold. $228

Speaking of Jewelry

Back in June we interviewed an amazing jewelry designer, Jane Pope of Balboa Jewelry. Checked her site to see what she’s been up to.

Take a look at some of her stuff:

These ain’t conflict diamonds…

is they Jacob? Don’t lie to me man!! Kanye definitely had the right to ask Jacob the Jeweler that question in his song Diamonds are Forever. Pick up the album.

I interviewed a great designer tonight, it’ll be up in Papierdoll’s December issue…(already jumping ahead and November isn’t even up yet) One of her pet peeves? Bling. I couldn’t agree more. The hip-hopification of fashion has made the gaudiest god-awful jewelry a must have (see Paris Hilton). Those are not her words, they’re mine. Jewelry has always been something you do to accentuate something else. It’s an accessory, it is not the centerpiece -and even when it is the “intentional” centerpiece you wear it as part of an ensemble.

So ladies, this Christmas when you are heading to that office party…put the big diamond ring and the heavy rope chain away….

Please.

Kate Moss…The Debate Rages on

There was a bit of a war on the papierdoll messageboards yesterday morning regarding Kate Moss, H&M and her replacement. On one side of the ring you had those that said, H&M was right to dump Kate Moss; in the other corner you had those who said H&M should have stood by her.

My 2 cents?

They knew what they were getting into when they got her. The rumors were there. There was smoke, then fire. No one hires anyone without doing some sort of background check. I hear they make guys who stand outside restaurants in chicken suits take a urine test for drugs.

If they can do that for chicken suited workers, they can and probably do perform that on supermodels… unless I am mistaken.

Even if I am, they should have given her another shot.

They make this…

…thinking women will wear it. They must not be in their right minds.

Papierdoll July 2008 Interview

Interview: Thomas Voorn
Sonia Pereira Murphy

Considering the now ubiquitous trend of disposable fashion where all that seems to matter is a cute factor, Thomas Voorn's intellectual take on clothing is not only refreshing, but enlightening. Voorn's fascination with clothing calls to mind an anthropologist intrigued with skeletal remains, a sociologist... [Go]
