How Punky Brewster Earned Her 'Striipes'

In the four years since Copenhagen-based shoe company Striipe hit the scene, their colorful antics have only gotten louder -- and in a good way. Case in point: Their Fall 2009 collection (which will be available at coutie.com in the coming months) makes Punky Brewster look like an old soul.

The Fall Winter 2009 collection is classy, crazy and schizophrenic. Striipe playfully experiments with cuts, colours and wild fusions. Boundaries are crossed with strong colours and new material mix which makes the design perky and eye catching. High and low sneakers are updated in an innovative futuristic collection, supported by classic cut with unconventional materials and clean details. Different coatings as corduroy, suede and mesh mixed with details as pipings, laces and back straps in contrasting colours. - Polkadot.it

StockinGirl.com says, "Pick Your Pattern!"

If you share my addiction to patterned tights, you'll be pleased to know that StockinGirl.com is taking pre-orders on over 50 new prints. All of their new prints are available in a variety of styles: Tights, Leggings, Knee Socks, Sheer Thigh Highs and Sheer Pantyhose. In a new feature, the tights and pantyhose are being offered in two sizes. Everything else is one size fits most. (I, for one, have my heart set on a pair of those "Digital Anaconda" thigh highs! Any takers?)


Erin Fetherston Is the [Nuclear] Bomb


The billowy, tiered skirts and pastel dresses reminded me of the mushroom clouds produced by nuclear bombs. Check out the entire comparison series on Coutorture.

"The pink color of the cloud is due to the oxidation of nitrogen caused by high heat and radiation from the explosion. The rapidly cooling fireball is the cause of the red glow seen deep within the cloud." - Naval Historical Center
