Staple Week: Day 4 – Accessories

Written by Carl on Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | 2008, Theme Weeks, ann demeulemeester, ca4la, staple week, style watch, topman, yves saint laurent   

My philosophy towards accessories is quite simple. Unless the piece is constructed well and a unique piece from a respected designer that I am not likely to see again; like the above pieces, I am not willing to spend a great amount of money.  I view most accessories as throw away pieces.  I’ll spend a lot on a coat, because it is an item I plan on keeping for years; accessories not so much.  For most of my accessories, I buy them at cheap prices at places like H&M and Topman.  I leave the bulk of my spending for actual clothes.  After the cut, you will find the type of accessories I buy.

Custom Clothes on eBay for Charity

Written by Carl on Saturday, June 28th, 2008 | 2008, News, bjork & mcelligott, ca4la, carolyn massey, deryck walker, edward sexton, ioannia dimitrousis, j.w. anderson, omar kashoura, peckham rye, spring   

Susie @ Style Bubble posted about a neat project that Guy @ Fashion156 has started. Guy managed to get together a few distinguished designers to submit an article or two of clothing custom painted. The items have been put up on eBay and 100% of the proceeds for each item will go to the charity of the designer’s choice. The pieces are pictured below and absolutely amazing.

I added text to the pictures, but they are originally from Fashion156.
