My new collaboration

I've been asked by Philippe Naouri to help with the Men's knit line for the brand "Cult of Individuality," the lead designer currently exhibiting a the Coterie show in New York City, sounds like a young hip guy who knows what he wants... Inspired by Philippe's Vintage rugged look from Pratt's and Vintage 1, we are putting together a small collection of men's knits that will hopefully compliment Ron Poisson's line. From their press kit:

" Sure to set you apart from the rest of the denim-donned crowd, Cult of Individuality features unique washes like Cloud, a wash bleached inside-out leaving hints of blue around the waistband and pockets or Freedom, a light blue denim featuring very little to extreme distressing depending on the style; to Royal, a clean, dark blue and Wiskey, which features light fading on the front with a vintage, vertical whisker effect. "

The Louis Vuitton way...

I was actually looking for the new Louis Vuitton commercial with the tattoo guy, that Maggie insists is gonna be my next husband...lol but instead I found this which was much more inspiring and fun to share. I will eventually look for that other video, something about dirty finger nails... No very LV at all!

The new Hot Spot in Las Vegas

http://www.marqueelasvegas.com/

After many years trying to top my favorite nightclub in Las Vegas... Don't know if you guys remember "Ice"but in my days that was the spot where all the Brazilians would come to spend New Year's Eve. Other than TAO or LAVO nothing has really impressed me as much as this new club located at the newest Casino on the Strip called The Cosmopolitan. If you're a girl all you have to do is RSVP on their website and avoid the three hour line. If not, get used to the waiting, there are so many different lines you don't know who to bullshit to get in... But once you're in it's simply heaven on Earth! With three rooms to chose from, the Library (the quiet room), the Boom Box Room (House music/special guests) and the main room that is surrounded by video projections and a great sound system. Outdoors you find the pool area in which the cabanas come with a private jacuzzi! Can't wait til Summer!!!!!!!!!

After seven years attending the Las Vegas Magic Show as a Designer... I decided to use this four days to look for the hottest new trends and styles out there. What products we will be seeing in stores for Fall 2011 and what to look for... With the help of my best friend Magdalena Guillen, who lent me her visual talent by capturing all the images in this blog, and a few entries as well. Overall we had a blast and we won't stop here. I promise! Follow us to hear about the latest clubs, music, fashion products and Art... Now that we are hooked so should you.
