Lucien Pellat-Finet Skull Scarf

Forget the McQueens and Tiffany Alanas; I’ve long coveted Lucien Pellat-Finet’s cashmere sweaters, and now I’m drooling over his Skull Roulte Scarf. Made from 100% silk, the various skulls from his previous collections are all printed on the scarf, also available in black. How could I be so silly to think that the skull trend was on its way out with Pellat-Finet on the scene?
Designer Spotlight: Gareth Pugh
Posted on June 11, 2007 at 10:08 am (PST) | Comments Off
Following in the footsteps of fellow Brit Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh is part of the new wave of young British designers that are shaking up the fashion world. London Fashion Week has benefited from all the attention garnished on Pugh, whose high fashion theatrics make for some amazing runway shows. Specializing in absolutely fabulous coats (like the one above), he often shows one or two wearable pieces with ten or so fantasy pieces, more like art than something to be sold in stores. In the U.S.A., his pieces are available through Seven New York. They’re sure to be collectibles, so collect them now!
Alexander McQueen Rose Sandal

These rubber and leather T-strap McQueen sandals are lovely and gloomy in a more subtle, less ANTM ghost bride-ish way than his signature skull scarf (if you’re kicking yourself for missing it on sale at Aloha Rag, you’re not the only one-I wasn’t even aware that the scarves were in stock, much less that they ever go on discount[correction: the skull scarves were Thomas Wylde and not McQueen, but I’m still bummed]). The blue gray roses are an appealing variation on the faerie queene rosettes shown on the runway for the spring 2007 Louis Vuitton ready-to-wear collection. They are a bit reminiscent of those ubiquitous giant flower pins Carrie Bradshaw used to sport, but I do think the sandals work with a simple LWD, like the trendy and comfy, bloat-friendly and floaty cotton trapeze mini by Vince at Saks for $165. The McQueen sandals are available in sizes 36-38 for $738 at Aloha Rag. What do you think?
