FASHION INSPIRATION OF THE DAY: ACCESSORIES IN THE TIMES
Melissa Ventosa Martin at the Times says: "While fashion has its feet firmly in neutral territory -- think camel, beige, khaki, more camel -- accessories offer a welcome bolt out of the blue -- or red or yellow as the case may be. Pre-fall collections from the likes of Balenciaga and Celine played with a bold Crayola palette, in blocks or even head-to-toe. Accessories in stores now compliment Seventies inspired, bourgeois basics". Go over to her article at The Moment blog at NYT to get the details on the items in the photos above.
FASHION OBJECT OF THE DAY: MAX BILL MANUAL WIND WRIST WATCHES

MICHAEL VAN DER HAM
  
Van der Ham pieces together fashion of different eras, meaning that one dress can have shape from the 20's, material from the 60's, and a sleeve from the 70's. He says "There are these amazing and rare dresses made by Andy Warhol in 1975 for the 'Fashion as Fantasy' exhibition, which was curated by Diana Vreeland. Each dress is made from sections or panels of designer dresses like Yves Saint Lauren, Oscar De La Renta, Valentino, Diane Von Furstenberg etc... I thought it would be a good idea to base the whole collection of dresses on this idea but instead of just using 1970's dresses I expanded the research into the 1920's, 1950's and 1960's shapes too. Each dress would become a mismatch and clash of fabrics, colours and cut. It's about certain elements together that you wouldn't normally sew together." You can buy his dresses at Liberty.
