At Milan Fashion Show Giuliano Fujiwara had some interesting jackets for men. I don’t know why he has an obsession to leave ankles uncovered but as said, the jackets are more interesting than the other elements he has. Be sure to check out his new spring/summer collection from his awesome web site.

A very unique collection of women glamour wear by Kirsi Nisonen. She tells us:

“The second collection of Kirsi Nisonen is an adoration to feminine shapes, tight style and lustrous flirt.

Femme Fatale has arrived in town to halt the blood of the passers-by. You can hear the sound of high heels from the street, followed by the cuteness of seam socks and swinging hips that curve up in depths of the seducing waistline. Satin ribbon lacing caresses the perfectly arching spine and a cocktail hat crowns the coiffure that rises from the nape of the neck. Let yourself be taken by the Kirsi Nisonen collection and accessorize your style for the hotness of the summer to come.”

Rebecca Robinson thinks handbags from a very different point of view.

“Women should not have to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars for handbags that aren’t guaranteed to remain exclusive. psnob is a handbag that enables women to express their individual style and that’s a powerful tool.” Artist Rebecca Robinson, creator and designer of psnob tells us. “I wanted to use my fine arts background in an inimitable way, and tapping into the fashion industry was an avenue that would be very rewarding.”

Even thought there is just the “big boys” running the models to the catwalk in New York Fashion Week there is sometimes something different popping up than the usual “haute couture”. This time the speculation asks us how far this new retro style will take us? I mean, there was short nineties revival, even shorten eighties revival (gladly) and then there has been this sixties style for awhile. Now Matthew Williamson is taking us back to the fifties and sixties and even further, to the eastern block and Soviet Union. Or what do you say about these pre spring ‘09 collection dresses by Matthew Williamson?

Elegant and freshly surprising new jewellery talent from Finland, Hanna Korhonen, is bringing all men a totally new approach to mens jewellery. Elegil is a gold or silver jewel to put in a new place, to men’s collar. Or why not some other place if you like?  Derek always loves when things are thought a little bit out-of-the-box. And it looks good too :). The production has just started and Hanna told us that it will be available for shipment in this year’s end. She hasn’t a reseller to foreign countries yet but english web-pages are coming up before spring time. Can’t wait!
