EXCLUSIVE!! - DOLCE&GABBANA ANIMALIER BIKE.....

For the Spring, Dolce&Gabbana have released a limited edition animalier bicycle for the stylish cyclists around the world.

The Dolce&Gabbana Animalier Bike is for ladies only and was born of Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana’s passion for the athletic and healthy lifestyle. Applying their magic touch this time to a bicycle, Dolce&Gabbana swathes the frame in leopard print, the emblem of their style. The Animalier bicycle aims to impress with fine detailing, and a vintage feel.

The mechanics of the bike, as well as the style, are taken from the traditional artisan process: there are no gears, the wheel has 18 radii and the rear and head lights are pedal activated.

The handlebars are in a classic shape with the break mechanics hidden inside the body of the bike for a clean aesthetic. The bike is highly finished, with 24k gold gilding, protected by a all weather varnish, leather seat and black bell with Dolce&Gabbana logo plaque and a handy plastic coated aluminium basket on the front.

The actually bike is made of steel and is varnished using a particular technique called sublimation, which requires each piece to be hand finished.

The limited edition bicycles will be available at select Dolce&Gabbana boutiques worldwide: Milan, Florence, Rome, London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Munich, Berlin, Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai.

IRIS APFEL FOR




In 2005, Iris Apfel, a youthful octogenarian dubbed “one of America’s quintessential style-makers,” was celebrated with a retrospective exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
It’s remarkable how today, someone so devoted to ignoring trends could find herself simultaneously solicited by a mass market television retailer, posing for a hip cosmetic brand’s advertising campaign and coming up with a treasure trove of costume jewellery for the world’s incontestable pioneer of fashion's digital marketplace: http://www.yoox.com/

A rare bird” noted for her shamelessly powerful mix of high and low, Haute Couture elegance with flea market chic, Iris is not only an icon of great New York style. She’s a recycler. Her well-educated eye, in evidence during her long and distinguished career as an interior designer and co-founder (with her husband, Carl) of Old World Weavers, Iris has been featured in the New York Times already six times this year by fashion and society’s beloved street style photographer, Bill Cunningham.

Iris may be small, but her jewellery is big. With enormous confidence and stage presence, she wears; the jewels do not wear her. The time-honoured rule of dressing well, to take off one piece of jewellery before leaving the house, does not apply here. For Iris, more is more.



Product is divided into three, distinct categories:

COLLECTION / A newly-designed ready-to-wear jewelry COLLECTION made from sustainable materials retailing

LIMITED EDITION / An exclusive, high-end selection of jewelry, also newly-designed available in LIMITED EDITIONs ranging from two to six units per design with retail prices ranging from
