Around the time I was studying fashion, Adrover was making his first moves, moves which quickly saw him skyrocket to the top of the industry, with critical acclaim, as quickly as he soured, he unfortunately fell, the NYC based designer was one of the many business owners to suffer as a result of the acts that took place on September 11th 2001. His time has come to return to the heights of which he deserves, the hugely talented designer has signed a deal with “Hess Natur, a $100 million, 30-year-old German mail order business of women’s, men’s and children’s wear rooted in environmentally sound practices.” Miguel Adrover known for his innovation and attitude throughout his designs doesn’t seem like the type to fit into the mould of creative director at a mail order operation, Adrover thinks so though “”I love mainstream,” he added. “For me, this company is not based on trends. It’s based on basics and the outdoors.” 

Whether this is the beginning of a new era at Hess Natur or a stepping stone in the comeback trail of Miguel Adrover, I have no doubt it will be a success.

Bless aren’t just fashion designers, they are problem solvers, I remember first hearing of Bless years ago, when they collaborated with Martin Margiela in producing wigs for the Belgian’s collection presentation, that was some time ago, I’ve been obsessed ever since, and while Bless has gone on to become an incredibly well know name and a name which holds huge respect, it still keeps the same philosophy which leaves the Berlin based brand innovative beyond its time. Bless No. 32 as usual includes numerous interesting products, including sunglasses, shirts, a key tissue and more, including a Nike Wimpel You can view the range after the jump, or at Bless. The range also includes these amazing Knit boots(above), which are available at Melbourne’s Someday.

Kate Moss was out to support her close freind Stella McCartney last night. They  were attending the private view of the first major UK photography exhibition of the designer’s late mother, Linda McCartney. 
The exhibition, which opens to the public at the James Hyman Gallery on Friday, also marks the 10-year anniversary of the photographer’s death. Her husband, Sir Paul McCartney, has spoken of the importance of keeping her memory alive, for both him and their children. ”Since she passed away, the thing is that you worry that she’s not around, so her stuff is not going to be exhibited,” he said. “We work as a family to ensure that her work is still exhibited, so it means that people are exposed who haven’t seen it before. It’s great for me just to remind people how great she was.” More Photos from the show after the jump.

On April 23, Diesel opened their largest store in Japan, and one of the largest Asian flagship stores, on Nishi Ginza Dori near the Sukiyabashi intersection in Ginza. This location will be one of the most important and premium shopping area in Tokyo.

The new store boasts three selling floors and it adopts the latest design and features. All aspects of the store’s concept and interior are its original, conceived by the Interior Design team from Italy. 

There are a few interesting devices installed inside the store, sure to entertain customers. On the second floor there is a touch screen mirror, using the most advanced technology. This interactive mirror reflects the image on the display real time, and at the same time, it captures the image. This will allow customers to view their backside or even compare how they look on different outfits side by side. Close to the escalator area, someone might even whisper you something special and surprise you. Sounds too good to be true? Check the photos after the jump!

“Since 1979 Clayton Patterson has dedicated his life to documenting the final era of raw creativity and lawlessness in New York City’s Lower East Side, a neighborhood famed for art, music and revolutionary minds. Traversing the outside edge he’s recorded a dark and colorful society, from drag to hardcore, heroin, homelessness, political chaos and ultimately gentrification. His odyssey from voyeur to provocateur reveals that it can take losing everything you love to find your own significance.” Captured, Thursday, April 24th at Cantor Film Center’s Theater 200, 36 East 8th Street (off University Place), NYC. A must see if in the area!
