Did you ever buy a ring, cause you feel sorry for it? This one is tired of his window position and hopes to be redeemed by you. Come on, show him the world! You don't like wearing one pound glass on your finger? You will walk away with a bad mind.
First I saw them on Paul Smiths runway. Then everywhere. Faked glasses. They make people look smarter, AND sharpen their view. The eyes are more relaxed when they look through a flatten surface (even it is just sash pane) Good to wear especially in front of the computer.
I saw the Russian designer Vika Gazinskaya (left) everyday at fashionweek and she always catched my eye as one of the most special dressed guests. I wonder, whether she knows exactly what to pick out of her closet, or whether she changes several times in the mornings. Scott Schuman (in shorts on her left) just praised her haircut on the Sartorialist. This picture is for everyone, who wants to see it from behind...
Roma (26) is wearing a Custo rag knotted like a dress around her neck. Her name is a mergence of Rosa-Maria, so she is not Italian, but half Polish half Kenyan, born in Germany. Speaking three languages fluently is possibly useful for her job at the department of public information at the UN. At work Roma has to dress UN code like, after work she wears inherited clothes from her mother, or fashion from INA. But actually Roma is more into eating and drinking than into design. Favorites: Kuma Inn and Le Pere Pinard in the Lower East Side.

„I buy my cloths in stores,“ Tao (29) said. duh - where? "I got the hat at my friends shop, called Stillife in East Village." Last week Tao rescued a five week old kitten, that someone had thrown in the dumpster. It lives now at the music studio Tao has been building since three years. It will be finished at the end of July. Who knows, whether he will record the music of his DJ collective Phonostar or Justin Timberlake?
Suzanne (49) is famous for singing many Ds, as her last name is Vega. She lives in the Upper West Side and when she doesnt feel like traveling downtown to Daryl K , she pays Barneys a call. Lucky Daryl K suits the taste of the best singers in town as the shop is also the place, where Christian Joy met her muse Karen O, the singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Richie (24) wears everyday the same. He either steals the cloth of his friends and their relatives (his shirt was worn for years by his friends grandfather) or they deviate it voluntary. Thats why the singer of the ascending Indie Band the Willowz doesnt buy any cloth in New York, but has many friends, even he comes originally from L.A. There he found his jeans at Earnest Sewn.
Here flitters a coat from Elisa Jimene, the 
Chiharus simple plastic bag wants to be a leather bag. So Marc Jabobs printed lines on it, that look like joints.

Chiharus developes products for GAP and eats best in italian restaurants.

„I liked the pictures but not the words“, says Haidee Findlay-Levin after the worldpremier of Peter Lindberghs and Holly Fishers movie Everywhere at Once. Today the famous fantastic mag stylist wears Dries van Noten shoes and plastic Vintage glasses instead of Ray Bans - just for style or to see the movie? We dont know. And she does not know why we think, that she dresses special. "I just wear a black top and black pants.“
On weekends assistent director at Jejj Bailey`s Gallery rather visits the Whitney Museum than fancy boutiques. Not that she doesnt like fashion, she orders it at home. „Internet shopping is eclectic and individual“, says Lane.
