Fashion might need to do some travelling...

We are almost getting bored if of the term credit crunch and it has merely started (get used to it, might become a classic). Even more boring is what it did to fashion these days. It seems like designers in the world of fashion, and by world I mean Paris, Milan and New York have decided to take either the very safe road or the not so genius escapist world. Truth is, both of them are very much about selling in tough times and very little about design. It all becomes a little too desperate and as we did with the boy who liked us in high school , we can’t avoid being a bit blasee. Big houses have numbers to keep, small ones have investors to meet and when cutting costs creativity is the first one to be crossed. But the starving design lovers, need to be fed somehow, where to turn to?
Perhaps it is time for fashion to go Global.

Dyptique on Bleecker

Before I fell in love with the dyptique scents it was there bold yet simple packaging that cought me. The french brand has finally openned a shop in NY. Definetely worth a visit, if not for the increadible scents, at least for the fabulous chandaliers.
