WANA SAMBO CRUISE COLLECTION 2010 SAMPLE SALE

I am so elated!! my cruise collection titled "Sidewalks are Runways" is finally here!! my exhibition/sample sale is on the 19th of december 2010.
My inspiration for the Wana Sambo ‘Sidewalks are Runways’ Cruise Collection ’10 was drawn from the streets. On the sidewalks, you see every form of creativity, style and persona expressed through people’s outfits. This collection can be taken straight from the lookbook into a woman’s closet because it has a piece for every occasion. Work, play, boat cruise, chilling-at-friend’s, out to dinner, or just hanging out. I wanted to show the versatility of a collection with it still telling a story.


The shoot (for the lookbook which will be updated soon) describes the unspoken rivalry between humans, the quest for achieving more wealth, success or fame than another, which leaves us constantly on our toes or just head strong against one another. Here it’s the case of two friends who constantly want to be ahead of each other without realizing they end up doing the same things but expressing them differently. . .

VENA CAVA

Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai are the co-owners/founders/designers for the line -Vena Cava... this collection did something to me. i don't know what but i'll let you decide... I like it.

Fashion Photographer, Mario Sorrenti captures 'The Evolution of an Outfit' for the March spread of Interview Magazine... he used pieces by Marc Jacobs, Roberto Cavalli and Dolce and Gabbana, with help from Marie-Amelie Suave, a Fashion Stylist.

Like one of his Tweets i 'made favourite', Karl Lagerfeld's Paris Studio has a definition to itself...the cuckoo clock, the booookkkkssss, the i-pod location... tres chic!! on twitter, he wrote; "My greatest problem in life is my indifference to the outside world" .So whether u think its pure genius or horrid or pure bullsh*t, Lagerfeld doesnt care.
