Is American Apparel doomed?

American Apparel is apparently about to go bankrupt due to overzealous expansion/bad bookkeeping/naked interview policy... for more info see here.

Or just stock up here.

TAVIK: CRUE VS POISON

Summer '10 swimwear from Tavik. One range inspired by Motley Crue, and one inspired by Poison. How to choose? Annoying difficult to get hold of in the UK. See here for more details.

Red, White and Crue:

Owly

T-shirt design for Festibelly 2010, available ONLY at Festibelly 2010. Brilliant. Buy your tickets here.

Furniture Feet

While I've always understood tables with claws for feet, these two designers are taking it to a whole new level...the Sheep Stool by Oly and the His n' Hers Chairs by Fabio Novembre, available in all the colours of the rainbow from Aria.

LoVe sunglasses

LV Faux Semblant Carre Sunglasses. Unnecessarily expensive. But great.

Entirely impractical

Going on holiday on Saturday and really need some sunglasses. Then I saw these...far more useful than sunglasses(?) Available in silver, gold and rose gold and in varying sizes. They come as a pair, although clearly better worn one at a time. So there is a spare. Perfect.

dRN, Chile

This house, built by architect Max Núñez of dRN Architects in Chile, is the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor, using walls of glass instead of doors to make the most of the views. And as the house is perched high up a mountain, those views are staggering. See more of their work here. Photos by James Silverman.

PEACHES

Peaches rocked Lovebox and outclassed everyone else playing despite the fact that she had a gammy leg and spent most of her set in a wheelchair. Being pushed by a naked transvestite. Sure. BRILLIANT.

Ear Cuffs

Alexander Wang Vertebrae earring, Nasty girl Fringe ear cuff.

LitterSF Leaf Ear Cuff.

LitterSF Gold Tassel Ear Cuff, Urban Outfitters Feather ear cuff.

Anna-Sara Dåvik

Anna-Sara Dåvik's potentially creepy gold or silver fingernail rings.

Philosophy

Attachable/detachable.

DRIES VAN NOTEN

Dries Van Noten’s enviable ability to make something essentially casual,look so polished and luxe. The perfect contradiction.

DECIDEDLY UNFOOLISH.

I have been wanting a ring made out of fools gold for a LONG TIME. Thanks. Thanks so much Luv AJ for making this possible. Shop away at www.luvaj.com.

MOUSE

Not sure if I can think of an appropriate occasion to wear the Jeremy Scott Mickey Mouse Helmet.

Apart from a Rhianna Video.

Not sure I need one (an appropriate time)

Hello Top shop AW10.

HATE PLATE

Second hand plate series (2005 - 2010) by British Artist Karen Ryan. Buying the plates from charity shops and car boot sales, Ryan then removes the patterned glaze leaving only the outlines of her letters and vague hints at the original designs on the plates. Ugly words made beautiful, harsh words made fragile. See more of her work here, it is great.
