Moda operandi

2011-07-15T15:28:00.003+02:00

Moda Operandi allows you to purchase clothes 48 hours after a designer’s runway show. You receive your purchases within four months, which is two months before they are available in any mainstream store. To add to the exclusivity, membership is invitation only. But how Moda Operandi exactly works?
1. Designer presents their new collection at a runway show or in a showroom. After the show, M’O shoots photographs and records video of the complete collection worn by our models;
2. M’O runs an online Trunk Show for 3 days. During the show, Moda Operandi members may pre-order any piece from the designer's complete collection (many of these items will never be available in stores). Members place a 50% deposit when they place their order.
3. The designer produces the pieces M’O members have purchased and delivers them to Moda Operandi. Upon receipt and verification of the merchandise, M’O notifies our members and we charge the remaining balance.
4. M’O ships merchandise to our members in elegant, custom, archival packaging. Customers receive their items before they are available in stores!

Cool Hotels in Formentera

2011-06-20T16:51:00.009+02:00

It's quite difficult to find a design-hip hotel in Formentera. The island is trendy, you can have dinner at:

- Can Carlos (Sant Francesc Xavier), number one!

- Casanita (Calle de Fonoll Marí - Es Pujols), we love fish.

- Chez Gerdi (Lugar Venda de ses Clotades - Es Pujols), to see and to be seen.
- CaNaPepa (Plaça de sa Constitució, 5 - Sant Francesc Xavier)
- Caminito (Es Pujols), if you wanna eat meat.

These are my advise, for a fantastic staying on the gecko's island:

- Es Ram Resort;
- Gecko;
- Talaya, my favourite for the position and the price (compared to the others).

Lanvin for H&M

2010-09-10T18:39:00.001+02:00

Lanvin, announced that it will do a collection this fall for H&M.

A number of designers have done special collections for the mass-market retailer, among them Karl Lagerfeld and Stella McCartney. For Lanvin, the move toward a wider audience signals less a departure from its luxury roots than a further attempt to expand its market with new products and retail outlets.

We will see the capsule collection "Lanvin <3 H&M" on sale Nov. 23 in 200 H&M stores worldwide.Inserisci il resto del post qui

Butter (expecially on monday night, 415 Lafayette Street)

Marquee Night Club (289 10th Avenue)

West Chelsea lounge (opened by Marquee Team), sits on 10th Avenue next to the High Line Park.

Atelier Abigail Ahern - London

2010-08-25T11:40:00.012+02:00

Atelier Abigail Ahern is "One of the most definitive, hottest places to shop in the UK" said Elle Decoration UK. Do I need to say more?

Outstanding in the field

2010-08-25T11:19:00.010+02:00

Outstanding in the field is a traveling culinary experience that brings together local farmers, food artisans, chefs, and winemakers to “celebrate food at the source”. Very nice and original experience!
If you’re interested in attending one of the outstanding in the field events this year, you can view the schedule here.

L'Arc Paris

2010-08-25T09:00:00.008+02:00

The L’Arc Paris Restaurant, Bar and Nightclub has become the place to be seen in Paris nightlife.

Nordic Bakery and Fernandez&Wells cafès - London

2010-08-24T16:51:00.009+02:00

Nordic Bakery and Fernandez & Wells in London have something in common: great location, amazing food and coffee, perfect atmosphere and just that something that makes them special.

The Cow and The Punchbowl - London

2010-08-24T16:20:00.008+02:00

It may sounds like a cliché but you've got to go for a pint in at least one decent boozer.
The Cow is the classic West London favourite, beloved of locals Miss McCartney and Miss Moss, and The Punchbowl — owned by Madonna and ex Guy Ritchie — is the latest 'it' tavern.

Zuma, japanese restaurant

2010-08-24T15:59:00.005+02:00

Zuma is the best japanese restaurant. It's quite expensive, but it's worth it.
I tried it in London and Dubai. Both superb!
To spend less, you can try Roka (London), the same chain.

Pointe Éphémère, cool cultural space - Paris

2010-08-24T15:42:00.009+02:00

It's a cafe, nightclub, exhibition centre and concert venue all rolled into one.
Pointe Éphémère is one of the most innovative cultural projects in Paris today, in particular of the super-trendy neighbourhood Boboland in Paris's Canal Saint Martin.

Tom's Kitchen - London

2010-08-24T15:21:00.006+02:00

You can't have brunch at Tom Aitken's bistro, especially during the WE (Sat-Sun from 10am-4pm).
I suggest you order the eggs benedict.

Cool Shops - Florence

2010-08-24T11:06:00.009+02:00

Isn't so easy to find interesting concept stores in Florence. Even if it's an historical city, full of tourists in each period of the year, there aren't so many stimulating cool shops. On the web too, it's an long haul to find the right addresses.
With this guide, I hope to give you a hand!
