Black and white and Classic

March 16, 2009/11.24

We rather like this top from Levi’s autumn–winter 2009 Classic range for the southern hemisphere. Black and white are up to the minute for the winter season, and the Levi’s range has gone away from prints, which is what we forecast. The women’s stripe Henley goes for NZ$59·90.

Panos Emporio prepares for summer ’09

March 14, 2009/12.48

As mentioned in this weekend’s feature, we’ve had photographs from Panos Emporio’s summer 2009 for quite some time, but March is a far better time to release them than September. The ranges are hitting boutiques now, and we liked Panos’s inspirations this season from tropical gardens and deserts for his main collection. There’s more on […]

Stockholm is Europe’s first Green Capital

March 11, 2009/11.01

We were delighted to hear that Stockholm has been named the first European Green Capital by the European Commission.    Stockholm is one of our favourite cities, and even though it never got congested compared to many European cities, the forward-thinking Swedes still implemented a congestion charge. The city has integrated environmental issues into its […]

Opel shows Ampera, its version of the Chevrolet Volt, at Genève

March 2, 2009/12.43

General Motors intends to overtake the Toyota Prius with its Chevrolet Volt—a vehicle that is an electric car first, with a petrol engine that only kicks in when extended range is needed. (The Prius, in layman’s terms, works the other way round, with a hybrid engine assisting the petrol one—though around town, the Prius tries […]

We wish the world revolved around Italy

March 1, 2009/9.50

Lucire has a distinct Italian flavour at the moment, thanks in part to photographer Thomaz and his Milano shots from two fashion week shows so far: Byblos and Frankie Morello. Of the two, Morello is more newsworthy in its three-dimensional, origami quality; Byblos is more subtle, using silks and cashmere in showing off a structured, […]

Hats on for Mischa

February 26, 2009/11.15

See what we mean? We didn’t request extra photographs of Mischa Barton—she just seems to be in the Zeitgeist again. Here is the actress in a hat by D&Y—its hats and scarves are apparently favoured by Miley Cyrus, Taylor Momsen and Audrina Patridge, according to the company’s PR firm, P3R.

Jewellery is Mischa Barton’s staple

February 25, 2009/1.04

Of all the news we are getting about celebrities, one seemed to appear more often over the last week in conversation and news: Mischa Barton.    Barton has had a whirlwind few months with filming in India, stopping off in the UK, New York Fashion Week, and now Los Angeles.    At New York Fashion […]

Views from the Medinge Group’s Brands with a Conscience 2009 ceremony

February 22, 2009/0.34

With all that was going on during New York Fashion Week, we decided to delay these videos in case they got lost. They’re from the Brands with a Conscience ceremony at MIP in Paris earlier this month (we detailed the winners here at Lucire in January), which the Medinge Group has been running for six […]
