The Leading Luxury Marketplace to buy and sell 100% authentic Designer Pieces.

… New Arrivals!

Vintage! The return of House of Style.

In times were anything from earlier days seems more popular than innovation, also MTV has announced that it will resurrect it’s favorite cult fashion program House of Style, which hasn’t aired in almost a decade. Yes, Cindy C. back on telly!
The show won’t run as a full 30 min. TV show as it did from 1989 to 2002, but will be integrated across MTV’s multiple media platforms. On August 7, a short documentary called House of Style: Music, Models and MTV will be aired, just to refresh your memory. But hey, who doesn’t remember that video of Naomi Campbells acne removal methods, or the gossipy backstage interviews with then-puppy’s Kate Moss, Helena Christensen and Kristen McMenamy? O, how I loved that show, and wait a minute, I  think I still have some episodes on VHS tapes lying around… O, you don’t know what VHS is? Good heavens, know your vintage dear! [EH]

Twitpics @ Chanel from Vic Beck

Ok, we all have our Twitter accounts and we all upload our snapshots every now and then. And yes, some of those pics of life can be quite interesting, or funny, or cute. Or delicious in case of food pics.
But let’s face it: none of them come of even close to the pics celebrities post. Like this little bunch of Twitpics Victoria Beckham posted this week, whilst being shot by Karl Lagerfeld for the cover of the upcoming issue of Elle France at the Chanel Couture salons in Paris. Vic sitting on the famous spiral staircase in Chanel’s atelier on Rue Cambon. The racks of couture. A glass of rosé chilled with icec cubes backstage. Sigh… Can’t help but wonder what it must feel like to make 4.052.936 people jealous at the same time.[EH]

I’ve always thought of the t-shirt

as the alpha and the omega of fashion.

Society World

How fancy is this? We join the cover of Dutch Luxury Lifestyle magazine Society*World with no one less then Angelina Jolina. Talking about good company…
The topic of this interview is how to manage the Cash in your Closet. Because we all have some money lying around, doing nothing. Shame on us, ladies! We share our experiences, how we started selling designer pieces we did no longer wear. Or fit. From the proceeds we buy another great piece, and so on. Eco-chic recycling, indeed. And the result is: a smaller closet but definitely with better buys! [KB]

I don’t care anymore if people dress like me,

now I want them to think like me.

Coffee with Kate

We already had Angela Buttolph’s book on Kate Moss’s style and Mario Testino’s retrospective of his photographs of The Model on our table. But now it’s time for the pinnacle of her career: a new coffee-table book chronicling Kate Moss’s 20 year modeling career is in the making.
The iconic supermodel is bringing a heavy dose of fashion photography to your morning cup o’ joe. Coming this fall, publisher Rizzoli will release a 368-page whopper of a book titled Kate, The Kate Moss Book. Edited by Interview Magazine Editorial Director Fabien Baron and with contributions from Jefferson Hack (the father of Moss’s daughter Lila Grace), it will contain a retrospective of her career. It starts with some of Moss’s first modeling shots ever, and we all know how it went from there. From Hedi Slimane to Juergen Teller and from Terry Richardson to Karl Lagerfeld: prepare for a doubledose of fashioncaffeine this fall. [EH]
