By now, every fashionista knows about Isabella Fiore handbags, the notorious Los Angeles based design company. They are launching a new footwear line and one of Promostyl’s illustrators landed the gig of Design director. Leave it up to Jerome Chouinard-Rousseau to propel the line to new highs. Available in July in stores, this is the best collection seen at the WSA show in Vegas, with a lot of thumbs up from the various editors in attendance. Very concise, and pulled together with an art deco mood, the detailing is exquisite. It’s a must have for 07.

After strolling through The Fillmore in San Francisco, you may end up at the bottom of the Golden Gate Bridge, which is where you can check out an exhibition of Vivienne Westwood clothing being held at the De Young center. It encompasses 30 years of her designs including the infamous The Queen With Safety Pins t-shirt as worn by The Sex Pistols. Also featured is a history of corsets, part of a dialogue between the innerwear coming out and turning outerwear. Ah, the mysteries and vagaries of fashion. This is all a very interesting and revealing exhibition.
