Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2011 Collection
Continuing with the showroom posts, the turn has come to Tommy Hilfiger. The collection is a mix between 4 styles: rockabilly, country club, preppy, and hipster. For women, the must have items to achieve the so hot-right-now gentlewoman look, are shirts, shorts and pants with the clean cuts from men’s wear, but in fun and bright colors, and sometimes mixing different patterns or color blocking. For men, the must have items to achieve the… Read more »
Coach — Spring 2011 Bag Collection
Last week I was invited to the Coach Spring 2011 Showroom. I have always liked showrooms because you can touch the products, ask questions, and learn more about the material and concept. And you get a sneak peek to coming trends. At the Coach showroom we saw a wide variety of shoes, bags, wallets, men’s bags, etc. You should really go to the stores and see it for yourselves, but here’s a selection of my… Read more »

The Closet Voyeur — Ceci Palacios
I really miss those days when I could go outside with my camera in one hand and my tea in the other, walking around the streets of Shanghai, looking at people, following them, starting a casual conversation, and then asking them to pose for my camera. It was by far my favorite activity. But here it’s too unsafe. And since my camera hates to be unused, I decided to start taking pictures of people´s… Read more »
