    Amsterdam International Fashion Week Spring/ Summer 2010: ...

    Students of Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI) showed their seventh collection for the school's label "Individuals." The young designers presented a collection called "LaLaLa," a title that perfectly described a series of fascinating pieces. Besides the prints with LaLaLa, it was a collection with a true LaLaLa attitude. Strong and soft looking outfits were mixed and included sharp looking artisan white jackets with big shoulders. Some were knee-length, looking beautifully powerful. The Margiela-esque corsets made of leather ice skates in skin tones were attached to soft shirts, or mixed with skirts creating a confident look without being too severe. The golden leggings looked like armor. All pieces were in soft colors- eggshell, nude, off-white- which gave the strong outfits an air of lightness. Sheer tops and pleated blouses covered more rigid pieces, making the outfits look less serious and more femininely whimsical. Evening dresses looked elegant, done in flowing materials. This collection proved that hard-edge fashion can be comfortable and fragile at the same time.

    Hot In The Hive: Thermos-Minis by Crea Crea And Crescioni Vanina!

    You almost wouldn't expect something so whimsically designed and sweetly packaged from the seriously sophisticated and cynically chic French! Just to prove that they are always unpredictable and one-step ahead, French designers Crea Crea and Crescioni Vanina are introducing Thermos-minis! These cute little drink containers are the baby-siblings of the huge, heavy, stainless steel versions that my dad lugs around in order to save money on coffee. They are obviously smaller, but still hold enough that you won't be left wanting more caffeine after drinking the last drops. These Thermos-minis hold about 8 oz of whatever drink you want... hot, cold, or spiked (just kidding). Besides keeping a good temperature on your drinks (because if it didn't, it wouldn't be a Thermos), these Thermos-minis also come in an array of fun and colorful designs and patterns. Personalize your morning pick-me-up by choosing anything from Asian-inspired floral patterns to multi-colored dots and shapes! There's even ones that resemble a tiny man or an umbrella toting frog! All the designs are different, but all are whimsical, care-free and full of bright color. Their size allows you to pop them into a purse or tote, or to throw into the backseat of a car. No more cookie-cutter, silver steel thermoses that need their own carrier just to transport them around!


    Price: $38.00
    Who Found It: idabone was first to add the Plyones - THERMOS-MINI to the Hive.

    Style Icon: Natasha Khan From Bat for Lashes

    If there is one person whose closet (let's be honest, whose whole life) I'd like to raid, it would be Natasha Khan. Singer, songwriter, multi- instrumentalist, visual artist, and now my personal fashion muse, is there anything this British beauty can't do? Combining unusual instruments (like the harpsichord), a militaristic sound, a vintage vibe, and mystical indie rock, her songs are hauntingly beautiful. She is a master storyteller, taking us on trips through animal kingdoms and magical dream sequences. Her covetable style incorporates the whimsy of her music with a 70s flair, lots of layering, and is always topped off with a retro style headband. Check out my slideshow of some of Natasha's favorite designers mixed in with my faves she'd look great in, then watch her amazing video.

    Sounds like: Joanna Newsom, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Bjork
    Top Songs to Download: "Priscilla", "What's a Girl To Do", and "Horse and I"
