Rebecca Minkoff Hello Kitty Handbags

By Olga Davydova

Posted 7 November, 2007 in Kawaii, Fashion

American handbag designer Rebecca Minkoff has teamed up with Sanrio and their more mature division Momoberry to create a line of Hello Kitty handbags for “grown up girls”.

The line includes a clutch, a satchel and a tote. The clutch is made of leather and blue fabric with Hello Kitty pattern, the satchel and the tote are made of Italian leather lined inside with the same blue fabric with the Kitty pattern that the clutch is decorated with. The hardware on all the bags features engraved Hello Kitty face.

I think the bags look rather retro and I still haven’t made up my mind whether I’d like to own one or not. In any case, it’s better to see them in real life before buying. However, the bags are available online via Sanrio Shop.

San-X Palette’s Sweet Street

By Olga Davydova

Posted 1 November, 2007 in Kawaii, Cute Beat

San-X takes a refreshing break from making kawaii characters by presenting it’s new line of merchandise with a kawaii street! The Japanese company’s brand new addition is called Palette’s Sweet Street.

The line features stationery and accessories decorated with cute colorful houses, tiny shops and shop interiors, outdoor cafes and trees: a dream place to live, reminds me of Paris (the capital of France that is, not the “Chi-wa-wa” owner).

Korean Teddy Bear Museum

By Olga Davydova

Posted 18 October, 2007 in Gallery of Artists, Cute Beat

Russian Livejournal user dkphoto has visited Jeju Teddy Bear Museum in South Korea and took a bunch of photos of the museum’s treasures. Here are the links to his photo stories: 1, 2, 3, you don’t have to know Russian to be able to admire the beauty of the pictures.

The best part of the exhibition is the “Role of Teddy Bears in World Art”, pretty impressive versions of famous masterpieces, or rather a chance to see how they would have looked if teddy bears ruled the world. So kawaii! Here are several most recognizable paintings and sculptures.

Mal Sirrah Spring/Summer 2008

By Olga Davydova

Posted 9 October, 2007 in Fashion

Our friend and one of the web’s best fashion bloggers Malcolm Harris of the sizzling hot Cut, Sew & Blog, also known as the stellar fashion designer and philanthropist Mal Sirrah, has presented his Spring/Summer 2008 collection in an innovative way: entirely online, narrated by the fabulous personality and stylist Andre J, wearing one of Malcolm’s divine creations.

What’s more, this is a conceptual collection:

Mal Sirrah’s conceptual collection is based on the “one style fits all theory”. This concept was originally sparked after designer and muse, Nina Clemente (daughter of famed artist Francesco Clemente) began discussing the over saturation of “product” within the fashion industry. They both felt as if there were so many choices to pick from these days that most women simply felt overwhelmed and frustrated. Therefore, the designer set out to design the perfect dress for his muse and eventually dubbed the result - “The Nina”

Congratulations to Malcolm on the success, the fabulous designs and presentation! His dresses are beautiful, delicate and feminine. Diane Von Furstenberg has expressed her opinion about The Nina dress, according to Mal Sirrah’s blog:

…she [Diane Von Furstenberg] believed he had found his own personal version of her legendary “wrap dress”. She believed the dress possessed all the key elements that flattered all body types across the board.

I just think it’s incredibly cute.

Here’s a sneak peek at the fabulous collection and Mal Sirrah’s new house model Julia K., who has recently been the featured girl on Models.com

Christian Louboutin smiling fish shoes

By Olga Davydova

Posted 4 October, 2007 in Scary Shoes

Fashionably Cute’s dear friend and awesome jewelry designer Wendy Brandes is obsessed with these stunning fish shoes by Christian Louboutin.

They are indeed impressive, but I wonder what’s so attractive about them? Maybe their hot shade of green? Or the charming smile adorning the wearer’s toes? Anyway, Wendy likes them so much that she has even embarked on a much more mind boggling quest for a pair of Louboutins than Link for Princess Zelda! The problem is that they don’t sell these spectacular peeptoes in her size.

On her quest she fights trolls, golems and leather-clad, chain-wielding skeletons with flaming skulls finds all kinds of irrelevant information, but not a single pair of her dream heels.

However, I’ve found a much more luxurious pair of shoes, made of all natural materials and possessing almost the same characteristics as Christian Louboutin carp peeptoes, sans the heels. It’s Little Mice Valenki. Highly recommended!

Pantone sets next season’s color trends

By Olga Davydova

Posted 2 October, 2007 in Tools & Resources for Fashionistas, Trends

Pink Rock Candy has discovered a great resource for any fashionista. If you’re wondering what next season’s color trends are then head straight over to Pantone website where the world famous authority on color provides regular detailed PDF reports on the latest “it” colors, picking ten hues that are to be in vogue for the upcoming season.

The colors are shown in swatches together with sketches of complete outfits as examples of how they can be worn.

Next spring’s most fashionable colors are very cheerful, combining delicate shades of neutrals with bright hues like blue, rococo red and cantaloupe.
