Calvin Klein Collection for men AW09
Italo Zucchelli was delighted to present Calvin Klein Collection’s Fall 09 menswear show in the brand’s HQ in New York for the first time.
Kanye West, Jared Leto and Chase Crawford were the well received eye candy for us ladies and dare I say it, some gentlemen too… Italo’s collection featured highlights of futuristic fabrics such as heat-bonded foam and moulded nylon.
Stretch wool and liquid twill acted as a base. The mix of tailoring with sportswear was resoundingly American in feel. A strong, tough and confident look that managed to simultaneously push the boundaries whilst maintaining its commerciality.

Things Fashion Folk are talking about on the front row # 2 - IceBox
The chicest water this season wasn’t from a far flung island in the South Pacific and didn’t have silver sparkles inside but was in a carton.
The bottled water industry never saw this coming…
“Think innovative. Think ecological. Think fresh. That is Glacia’s IceBox™. A one-of-a-kind package that delivers the world’s finest water in a convenient and biodegradable box. That’s right, we said “box.””
Lacoste AW09
For this season Christophe Lemaire showed the collection against a James Turrell inspired backdrop.
The army of models strut the catwalk in muted tones of yellow and blue while the light installation behind them moved through a rainbow of light.
Favourite footwear: knee high sock boots.

Things Fashion Folk are talking about on the front row # 1 - Traffic stopping Neon on Madison
Italo Zucchelli’s neon suits from his Spring Summer 09 collection for Calvin Klein arrived in store this week.
The red colourway sold out in a day – what better way for a fashionista to cheer-up in these fashion-crunching times…
Uniqlock
Tells the time by the medium of dance. Oh yes. Clothes change as new items are introduced and seasons change… It’s rather good, innit? Oh, and it has a very nice soundtrack - turn up the volume and have a listen.
Take a peek at the Uniqlock microsite where you can view it full screen, or download it as a screensaver should you so desire… It’s even available as an app for your iPhone.
Golly. I’ve come over all web 2.0… must sit down.

Snowday!
A gentle dusting of snow fell on London on Sunday night, and we all awoke to a winter wonderland on Monday morning. Being the resilient world city that it is, London’s infrastructure instantly collapsed, leaving stranded Modettes with no choice other than to make snowmen.
Bonus points go to Louisa (top left), who managed to maintain press relations despite the severe weather conditions by roping in Bejal from Glamour magazine. Contributions clockwise from top left: Louisa with Bejal, Jack, Rodrigo, Richard, Persephone, Giorgina with Joe.
