Introducing House of Harlow 1960! Designed by Nicole Richie, House of Harlow 1960 revolves around Nicole Richie’s love for the 60’s and 70’s. She channels a little bit of vintage aesthetic with modern glam to create these awesome, and affordable, statement pieces whose collections season after season never cease to deliver.
Here’s a few looks we’re loving from previews of Resort 2012:
Alexander Wang
Proenza Schouler
Rag & Bone
Givenchy
Theyskens’ Theory
Acne
Overall, it looks like bold new prints, playful colors, interesting color blocking, and structure are the main players in everyone’s Resort collections.

“I get inspired by what others get inspired by; the unknowing and the drive to know.” - David Lim
David Lim, Creative Director for Kasil Workshop, came in to do a Trunk Show at Azalea Boutique. As with any designer, we love to get more personal with them and to sort of pick their brains a bit. David’s a super chill guy and he’s what he had to say when we asked him a few questions about Kasil and himself:
Black and white. I could’t imagine Mr Wang’s home sweet home to look any different to that. W magazine welcome you to his crib…
& our obsession with Alexander Wang continues with a peek into the hot designer’s home sweet home. Now that’s what we call a NYC loft!
