Unnur: Icelandic Fashion Accessories

Few weeks ago, I’ve been contacted by the Islandic label Unnur meaning “the waves of the ocean”. Great name! Between us, it’s been a long time, I’ve dreamt to discover the exotic Island! The label was created in 2006 by Unnur Fridriksdottir. She’s developped an original concept using sea-leather: farm grown Icelandic Salmon and farm grown African Perch (without endangering any species). Sorry, what about the smell? It smells like regular leather. And for vintage lovers: the more it’s worn, the better it looks! Wow wow I want this bangle and this bag!

Marni: tonight opening of the new store in New York

 

No no! This time I didn’t loose my invitation card (bad habit I get during fashion weeks!). I am simply not in New York to attend at the opening of the new Marni shop. Too bad! I’m a huge fan of Marni accessoires spring-sum 09 collection! Shoes, sunglasses, bags and jewels are gorgeous! So if you’re based in NY or just in travel, have a look to the “special outfits and accessoires selection exclusively created for the opening celebration of the Marni shop” (press relase). This new space is an ancien art gallery, transformed by Consuelo Castiglione (the gifted fasion designer of Marni) and the Sybarite’s architects. Well I guess I will have to discover it next time in Big Ap!

Marni: 21 East 67th Street, New York.

Bangkok, Thailand: Siam Paragon & Siam Center

wecransoldesiammetroa

In the subway, the friendly screen reminds you where to spend your money. Maybe at the gigantic legandary Siam Paragon with the famous aquarium. Malls culture! I was really impressed by the food department with the hugh incredible delicatessen for gourmets, where you can find e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Of course for fashion, there are the same serie of international luxury brands (you can finally find everywhere), but here in colossal shops, missing privacy feeling for buying. Nothing new to discover and I get bored. Facing the Siam paragon, crossing a big plaza: the Siam Center. A great decoration with beautiful graphic designs! Very trendy. About fashion, nothing particular in the streetwear selection for teens and “young adults”.

Dans le métro, l’écran, ce nouvel ami, vous rappelle où dépenser votre argent. Pourquoi pas au légendaire et gigantesque Siam Paragon avec son aquarium géant. Ze centre commercial! Vrai que l’étage gourmet est assez impressionnant, avec cette immense épicerie fine, où l’on peut trouver absolument de tout. Côté mode, on retrouve les mêmes marques internationales de luxe (que partout, folle originalité), mais dans des boutiques aux dimensions pharaoniques manquant totalement de cette intimité qui incite à l’achat. Rien de nouveau, je m‘ennuie. En face, le Siam Center où la décoration très urbaine est simplement top! Ca tranche avec l’uniformité pauvre des autres malls. Concernant la sélection mode: un streetwear pour ados et “jeunes adultes” sans surprise.
