Project: VEGAS!

last week marked my second outing at one of the worlds largest fashion trade shows, PROJECT. encompassing the entire sands expo center connected to the venetian hotel, it is quite a site to behold. last season i was a little intimidated and overwhelmed, so i hung back and just took it all in but this year i jumped right in and was so excited to see what was coming up for spring '08.


*drop-crotch pants*
you all have made so much fun of me for rocking my hammer pants, but i'm not the only one who sees the genius of the dropped crotch. house of cassette, corpus...they're all offering dropped yokes and crotches on denim as well as dress pants. these are the ones i just bought from active endeavors, out of respect for the designers who have spent months creating their collections i am not posting pictures of anything from the show, sorry guys!



*colored denim*
still huge for next spring. saw a great pair of salmon colored high-waisteds from house of cassette as well as interesting color choices in acid wash from cheap monday. here's an idea of what the cassette babies are going to look like. taken from fall '07...


*cardigans*
for dudes. all over the damn place! every men's boutique line and streetwear line had a killer one. my faves came from peg leg as well as great lightweight jersey ones from yoko devereaux. if you aren't familiar with peg leg get on it! these kids are really stepping out there and making some killer pieces, i have the tee below...

not to mention they are the most adorable boys ever!

*fremont*
i don't have a lot of images from them but dammit if they don't make the prettiest women's clothing. i want it all...


we have beautiful stuff from them coming in for fall. don't sleep on this ladies!


*fluxus*
used to be under the name "flux nouveau". their collection is all super wearable and moderately priced. i'm looking forward to getting in their skinny sweatpants and jersey bubble shorts with metallic suspenders!!




*corpus*
boys wearing corpus can have me any day of the week. sigh...

and if you don't know by now i am a huge advocate for girls wearing guys clothes, this is the perfect line to steal from your boyfriend. they have killer stuff especially for the ladies as well.


also picked up more great tees from Le Magnifique, the spring outing from hellz bellz is once again right on point with a killer kate moss tee that is going to fly out the door. anzevino and florence had good pieces and gave us an interesting story on why the phenomenon of hypercolor disappeared...met some interesting people, saw some celebrities (not limited to paris hilton, russell simmons, jay-z and wilmer valderamma) and introduced myself to mr nylon himself, marvin scott jarett. overall it was another great show and i can't wait to go back in 6 months!!

ps: i am so sorry to anyone who tried to get in touch with me to chat, meet up etc...i thought i lost my phone but turned out i just left it on my coffee table in atlanta. i swear i would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body...
