The New Age Of Accessories: Part I

<i>Elle Accessories</i>
From those YSL caged booties to Louis Vuitton's doorknob-sized beaded hoops, it's clear that we're entering a new era in accessories design. Although every recent season has had one or two notable "It" pieces, recent months have seen a rebirth of categories that had started to feel a little stale.

A red sole is no longer enough to make a statement shoe. Now your feet aren't worth walking on if they aren't clad in their own miniature sculpture—from Dior's carved tribal heels to Proenza Schouler's steely, architectural platforms. Similarly, spring's status bags have traded their logos and hardware for luxurious simplicity—the better to show off the season's coveted craftsmanship and timelessness. Jewelry, too, has moved beyond the confines of bling, giving a nod to the costume jewelry of yesteryear and all of its flamboyance, craftiness and wit.

Brand Perspective

A&F Quarterly
Lifestyle magazines have told us how to "pick up men," "put on makeup" and "lose that flab" in all manner of ways. Considering the flimsy functionality of this advice, many people really just buy the magazines for the glossy high-end advertisements that make us want to purchase our way into an economic crisis. With this in mind, author and branding specialist Mark Tungate released a collection of premium customer magazines designed and created for luxury brands.

A Shaded View on Fashion

Pharrell Williams

Pharrell Williams is one of the most prolific and brilliant music producers of the past ten years. He created the duo "The Neptunes" with his partner Chad Hugo.

He also founded his own band "N.E.R.D" (with his childhood friends Shae Haley and Chad Hugo) : the style of the group is ecclectic, from Hip-hop to Indie rock.  read more »
