Spring/Summer ’13 Preview: A.P.C.

Wednesday, October 24th, 2012
A sneak peek of what's to come from A.P.C. for spring/summer 2012 If you've seen the cult hit Virgin Suicides directed by Sofia Coppola, then the spring release form A.P.C. may look familiar to you. The collection was inspired by the 1999 movie and it's instantly felt in the use of pastel denim, plaid we think Lux Lisbon (Kristen Stewart) actually wore in the film, and a floral pattern used on blouses and dresses. Summer moves the collection into bolder patterns and tones. A blue leopard print makes an appearance on a jacket, skirt and high-waisted pants and leather goods like coin purses and backpacks come in rich colors. Get familiar. Preview more of the A.P.C. s/s '13 collection below.

Q-Pot’s Yummy S/S ’12

Friday, June 1st, 2012

Q-Pot's spring/summer 2012 collection is, in a few words, snackable magic Somewhere over the rainbow, little yummy jewelry gems are being made just for you from clouds, fairy laughs and candy floss. Just kidding, but seriously, we bet you almost believed us, because Q-Pot's spring/summer 2012 collection looks so good you could almost eat it (disclaimer: don't). The Japanese designer Tadaaki Wakamatsu's line is a too-cute selection of little, stackable sweets for the sugar-lover in all of us. He's right on point with this spring's foodie trend, but he's doing it his own way. So, what's on the menu? First, your finger-licking appetizer: jelly candy fruit rings, which are followed by a main dish of juicy-looking cherry, strawberry and green apple pendants and, for dessert, how about some ice creams scoops dipped in sauce? See more from the s/s '12 collection below and shop the Q-Pot candy aisle here at Opening Ceremony.

SUPER Visiva Series Redux

Friday, June 1st, 2012

SUPER delivers a second installment of their Visiva series of shades. Hallelujah. When an object is incredibly well-designed, you can't help but stare at it for longer than usual. That's how we feel on the regular when SUPER drops their glasses for us to behold. We stare, we get heart palpitations, because everything about them is always on point. The only problem with this sunglass line is it's nearly impossible to choose a favorite. The redux of SUPER's much-adored Visiva series landed this week--a continuation of their printed tribute to vintage postcards, scientific illustrations, and tropical-themed photography of the '70s and '80s. The series works like a choose your adventure. There's a sepia-toned school of tropical fish, a palm-tree shaded pool bottom matched with blueish green lenses, and an umbrella-decorated shoreline with deep ocean blue glass. So what will it be for you this summer--the poolside, beachside, or under the sea? It's a tough choice to make. Peep the SUPER Visiva series below.

The spring/summer 2012 Havaianas x Missoni collection includes three prints and you can just slide them on as need be. Of course, only where flip flops need be.
