SWEET JANE: HOMEMADE DENIM AND US

Anda & Masha for Madewell

We've recently been asked to add a taste of personal denim to a shoot we were styling for Madewell, and rather than buy pieces that already exist we decided to make them ourselves... It's so easy and way more fun...

 simply take a pair of any used denim and cut away...

 you can cut a square and make a cute bow tie- which we later paired with a denim shirt...

 or cut pieces and sew them into suspenders and add cute touches- such as the flowers...

 or take a long strip and make a longer bow that can worn with any button down shirt...

 and if you have different shades of denim you can braid a belt...get busy!!

they wouldn't turn around and break it'   -Velvet Underground

NEW FRIENDS: OUR NEW ANDA & MASHA HATS

As many of you know we've been working on our hat line, inspired by bohemian and rock and roll icons of the late 60's, Anita Pallenberg and The Rolling Stones. Pallenberg not only dated Brian Jones and Keith Richards but she inspired the band's look- dressing them alike herself, and often with fantastic hats. Our new additions to our line, perfect our already existing black hats and incorporate the new mink line...even more rock&roll for you all!!

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN: SAVAGE BEAUTY

'you've got to know the rules to break them. that's what i'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.'

-Alexnder McQueen

The exhibit at the Met fell nothing short of outrageous, breath taking, inspirational, as well as silent. After a 19 year career, to lose such an artist of our time that challenged and expanded the understanding of fashion beyond what we already know to an expression of culture, politics and identity is a silence in itself.
And to top it all off, were the 90 perfectly created head pieces all created by Guido ... take notes world!
