Obey love

Although fashion is an art form in itself, i love the combination of other kinds of art and fashion. This is why i love and appreciate Obey. Obey was founded by street artist, Shepard Fairey, in 2001, when Fairey saw clothing as another outlet for his creativity, using t-shirts as a canvas for his graphics. Before Obey was founded, Fairey came across screen printing, which is how he came about creating the Obey logo (this hits home for me because i silk screen t-shirts as well) Any ways, the Obey spring/summer 2009 line is now avaiable online, and it is hot. The women's line is filled with colorful patterns, and simple yet sexy designs. I love the dresses and the shorts. The men's line is more traditional Obey style, with simple shirts and sweaters with unique graphics. Theres also some plaid thrown in there, and is done very nicely, for both the men and women. I've posted some of my favourite looks. The tank top with the crazy dragon on it is actually a mens shirt, but I would for sure rock it.

Lace Gallore

I am, and always have been, a huge fan of lace. Lace everything, no matter if its in style at the time or not. So, I was thrilled to see gorgeous red lace stockings on each and every model on the runway for Pink Tartan's collection during LG Fashion week in Toronto. Co-founder and head designer, Kimberly Newport-Mimran said that Grace Jones was the inspiration for this line. The line as a whole is very androgynous, yet sexy, elegant and feminine at the same time. Basically, girls look sexy when they look like boys. I'm really into it. Especially the lace. She matched up the red lace stockings with skirts, pants, dresses, everything, and it all looked absolutely amazing. After I saw the show i spent time looking for my own pair of red lace stockings. Unfortunately, I didn't find any red ones, but i did find black ones with stirrups, from Urban Behavior, causing me to become only $30 poorer. I also found a white, $12 pair at Aldo Accesories. You can find Pink Tartan at Fisher and Company in London (ON), Holts and TNT in Toronto, and Simons and Rivet Laundry in MTL. I'm not sure if any of these places are selling the red lace stockings from the show, but if you guys happen to find out let me know ;).
