A PEAK IN MICHAEL BASTIAN'S STUDIO

For several years Michael Bastian worked out of his apartment, but since december 2010 he moved with his team to a studio. He offer us a peak in the world of MB, the s/s 2012 collection hangs on the racks and the moodboard is also still there. The collection for spring 2012 is heavily influenced by James Dean. Mmm do I see some tassel loafers.....? (click here for more pics)

MONDAY BOOK MANIA

Wow, what a gift last week I received from my colleagues a book called "Preppy, cultivating Ivy Style".

Filled with great pictures and easy to read everything you need to know about the preppy lifestyle.

Authors Jeffrey Banks and Doria de La Chapelle examine the fashion designers who played a major role in shaping the preppy look, from retail pioneers J.Press and Brooks Brothers to Ralph Lauren, who single-handedly marketed not just a look but a lifestyle. Also featured, a band of young twenty-first century Ivy stylist and fashion labels, like Michael Bastian, who infused preppy with high-octane design. Buy it and enjoy it just like I do.
