Jules for all time

Our favorite bitch! Bijules debuted her capsule lingerie collection at Magic in Las Vegas...it's sick! No pictures just yet, but imagine seductive chains peeking out from under a tank top, or a garter belt you can wear as a headband. WHAT? Yes. And it's so limited edition you may never even see the real thing...

YMC Spring 09

Just a sneak preview of what's to come from the YMC women's collection...
With Fall 08 being the debut, it's always scares us to see whether or not a designer can be consistent. But seeing as how there's a quilted blazer, pleated mini skirt and high waisted loose trousers, we are pleased!

SUPER sunglasses

SUPER sunglasses are our new favorite accessory of the moment. After seeing them at Capsule in NY, and then again at Project in Vegas, we are committed to wearing sunglasses all year long.

Designed in similarity to the classic Wayfarer, SUPER steps it up with a slightly different frame and a high quality lens. Italian made with Carl Zeiss lenses, these sunglasses are the newest update to the old time classic. And by the way, aren't you ready for a new pair?

Fall styles come in next week. Purple frames with dark lenses, black frames with clear lenses, black flat style frames with gold mirrored lenses. You can even pop out the clear lenses to put in some prescription lenses if you want.

Sneak peek at a few new ones for Spring 09...

We Lova Lova

The economic and political outlook is bleak. Everyone is defaulting on their mortgages. But let's stay positive and focus on the things that we can effect NOW (and without too much thought). Menswear. Breaking through the barriers of everyday business casual, Lova has something innovative to offer. Tailored and well designed, with a spin on classic suiting, Lova gives us something to be excited about.

Debuting not but a season ago, Lova emphasizes slim fits, relaxed fabrics and a lifestyle all its own. Breaking the rules is one of our favorite past times. We'd love to see these guys mix and match some separates, wear the "wrong" style shoe, let the cuffs hang low, whatever...and make it all look perfect anyway.

Mini Market Spring 09 Preview

Just as we are getting super hyped for current Fall digs, we get sidetracked with the idea of Spring 09! The sign of a truly evolutionary brand is one that keeps surprising us with innovation and progress. The Minimarket Swedes are always on point but stay true to their own direction. The colors are ripe for Spring, the silhouettes are fresh, and the styles are wearable. We expect them to eventually make it big here in the US. But we are happy to have them to ourselves for now. You can have them too. We share.

Sretsis Fall 08

Sretsis for Fall is in!
The "Parallel Universe" collection evokes a dreamlike landscape with wild animals, expansive skies and mythical beings. Animals figure prominently into the prints, textiles and accessories of the collection. From fur trim to digital printing of Alaskan deer, owls, panthers and unicorns on silk chiffon and satin, animals-real and imagined-romp through the collection.
Prints of surreal landscapes from the North Pole to Loch Ness to the Moon also grace dresses and tops, conveying a colorful sense of mysticism.
The Sretsis sisters envision "Parallel Universe" as a series of interlocking pieces meant to reveal a hopeful, harmonious universe.

We at Acrimony think that's a bit cooky, and we recommend staying off the opium pipe. But the fashion looks awesome, come peep for yourself.

Histoires de Parfums

While in search of a shoe line suitable for our shop, we stumbled upon HISTOIRES de PARFUMS. Random that a perfume line would be showing in the hallway of a footwear trade show, but nonetheless, I guess a good strategy since it caught our attention.

The 12 scents, created by Gerald Ghislain, are governed by no rules other than inspiration. With a "luxurious imagination," he brings his stories to life through scent. The stories are to be told not through words, but on the skin, in a language universal to everyone.

This is why we love Frenchies. They wrap romance into everything.

Spotless crepe paper, titles in color, bottles chiseled in glass: Histoires de Parfums is smartly bound in twelve volumes to create a unique library of scented wonders.

Among our favorites, Ambre 114. Composed of 114 elements, all intensifying the natural sensuality of grey amber. We are requesting this be made in a shower gel and anti-perspirent so that everyone around us (that stinks) can smell this lovely.

S2VS Fall 08

Newcomers S2VS out of NYC bring a fresh look to menswear. Keeping with basic contemporary styling, but adding young, invigorating twists, S2VS is definitely one to look out for. Watch for metallics, tweeds, tailored fits, and best of all, great prices. What better way to update your look? 'Cause you need it.
