Prepping for Doggies on the Catwalk 2017

I walked into Nars, Les Copains, Tod's Theory, Monck Mason, Louboutin, Alice + Olivia, Canali, Planet Blue and Kit and Ace yesterday, Saturday April 8. I wasn't shopping but I was on a mission. But let's back this up first. [My] day started with a visit to doggie couture boutique Bark Fifth Ave. It's located in Buckhead and the showroom is a designer hotspot for all things canine. Owner, Ashley Daniele is walking in Doggies on the Catwalk and threw a "Pawty" to raise funds for Canine Assistants. She served "bark-tinis' for the pups and bubbles for her guests.

My partner, Alex Page, who is also waking in Doggies on the Catwalk and is its co-chair, was with me. From Bark Fifth Ave, Alex and I headed over to The Shops Buckhead. Our goal was to visit all the brands who've partner with me for the event. We perused the showrooms and there are some very fabulous clothes in all of them! Looking through it all gives me a better idea about the runway theme and line up.

It's going to be a great runway with 20+ models and over 40 looks! This is the biggest runway show to date for Doggies on the Catwalk. [And if I'm excited] YOU should be too! Tickets are selling fast and they are only $50. Buy them HERE and see you on May 6, 2017!

Kendall Jenner, Liu Wen, Mariacarla Boscono at LA PERLA flagship boutique opening in Milan

KENDALL JENNER, LIU WEN and MARIACARLA BOSCONO joined in celebrating the La Perla Fall/Winter 2017 ready-to-wear collection and new flagship boutique located on via Montenapoleone in Milan during Milan Fashion Week where LA PERLA hosted a collection presentation and unveiling event with campaign stars Kendall Jenner, Liu Wen and Mariacarla Boscono. The evening’s décor was inspired by the British garden — a nod to the brand’s most recent collection by Creative Director, Julia Haart. The stunning boutique, spanning over 2,583 square feet, came to life with a street-wide floral installation including pillars of blooming bougainvillea; cloaked in the brand’s FW17 NYFW runway video.

The historic La Perla boutique on Milan’s most fashionable street has moved to a new location at 14 Montenapoleone and has doubled its size, expanding to over 2,583 square feet across two floors.

A geometric arrangement steals the scene at the entrance, decorated with golden metal trims and the La Perla logo against a light blue background. These two architectural features can be seen throughout the flagship store, which was designed by the Baciocchi Associati Studio, as all La Perla boutiques have been since the brand was acquired in 2013 by Pacific Global Management, the holding company owned by the family of Silvio Scaglia.
 

The main space is illuminated by pure white marble floors, which contrast sharply with the sapphire blue carpets adorned with metallic herringbone trims, detailing that can also be seen on the dark blue aluminum ceiling. The walls are covered in powder blue panels and golden mesh accents inspired by the weave of tulle, a symbolic fabric representing La Perla style. The juxtaposition of blue and white repeats on the stunning white marble staircase and on the soft, sinuous velvet-covered seats. The refined feel of this space is emphasized by the central pillar and private suite decorated with diamond-shaped mirrors.

The upper floor is divided into four rooms decorated with display niches and gilded mirrors. These spaces range in color, from shades of lilac and amethyst to bold purple in the VIP suite, a sophisticated and cozy lounge for the brand’s most important clients.

The relocation of the historic boutique on Via Montenapoleone falls within a global expansion project involving select La Perla flagship stores, such as the Rome boutique on Via Bocca di Leone which has also doubled in size in order to accommodate the new ready-to-wear collection— reflecting the company's new and expanded offering developed by Creative Director, Julia Haart.

Justin Bieber Surprises His DJ, DJ Tay James, in LA at the Launch of “DiamondKnowsTheDJ"

During the last few weeks, Justin Bieber has been on the road for his world-wide “Purpose” tour. With some days off this weekend, Bieber decided to surprised DJ Tay James at the launch party of his fashion concept line in collaboration with Diamond Supply Co.

Bieber strolled very unassuming and casual going directly to DJ Tay James, and hugging him from behind and congratulating him on the store collab. James’ collaboration with Diamond Supply Co. took place at their flagship store in LA, sponsored by Don Julio 1942.

In addition, Bieber wore a casual hoodie and a big smile, while singing along to what James was spinning and giving hugs, and handshakes to the stylish party crowd.

Over the years, James’ personal catch phrase and brand, “We Know The DJ” became a platform for all international and artist based DJs. Before the brand’s in-store and online launch with Diamond Supply Co, Bieber has worn the popular hoodies, hats and t-shirts of the lifestyle trend, “We Know The DJ.”

DJ Tay James has been Bieber’s official DJ since his first tour, “My World” in 2010.
