Last night Bianca and I attended the Launch party for Kinder Aggugini’s  capsule collection for Macy’s at the Gramercy Park Hotel. The party was  on the roof so it was fun to see the HUGE snow storm rolling in while models walked around in the collection so you could get a really good look at all the  fabrics and cuts.  will hit stores Feb 15th!

The collection was inspired by British girls who would go to rock ‘n’ roll gigs and Glastonbury in their mother’s old couture dresses that they’d cut into these short minis. Price ranges from $50 to $300.

 

It’s no wonder that Giles Deacon has such a deep love for cartoons with every collection  evoking  a piece of the animated humour! I especially loved his monster bag from the  FW2010 collection.

Here are some of Giles favorite cartoon characters from Vogue.UK:

Scrappy Doo

The Moog , a dim-witted dog from 1981 British animated series called Willo the Wisp.

 

Minnie

The Captain Caveman, 1977

Ludwig, a 1977 egg-shaped jewel character with arms and legs

BOD, 1975 on BBC

The always sexy, Jessica Rabbit
