qdSquared W07

Dystopia is a subtext of the current season in Milan, and with typical directness, Dean and Dan Caten have headed straight for the ground zero of societal collapse: Thunderdome. That, at least, was the framework of their show. The actual content cleaved pretty close to the style they have made their own, described succinctly by one of their key U.S. retailers as “designer Abercrombie.” Translation: sportswear with bells on—and pockets and zips and straps and hoods, and a few more pockets and zips for good measure. dSquared , source: Style.com

Splace

OK when we saw this original jewelry designed by Franz Schnaas, we were amused, amazed, surprised, and curious... Designer Franz Schnaas makes "body furniture" for your wrist. Handcrafted jewelry that ranges from "minimal Japanesque to highly gestural, with sliding components which add to their structure or dangling pistils that double as adjusting straps. Some mimic sea bottom creatures, others resemble slick, otherworldly, archetypal ritual objects.". All are thoroughly different and new - Splace

Emporio Armani / Winter 07

Giorgio Armani closed the Fall 2007 show for his Emporio collection with a passage devoted to his EA7 line, which is all about snow and the absolute ne plus ultra of snow-related activities. (His snowboard, for instance, has been designed in collaboration with Burton.) Such high-tech sports fabulosity shows Armani at the top of his game. Source: Style.com
