Are you ready to express your inner bad girl? As we all occasionally find somewhere to show her off - the most important question is-what does she wear? Hellz Bellz, of course!
The New York born brand, also known as Hellz Bellz a Crime for All Seasons, has catapulted to great success as an artsy, yet bad girl street wear brand, capable of transitioning from the downtown hipster scene to an uptown art gallery. The designers, Lanie and Bam Alabanza, utilize the underground environment as their muse; drawing inspiration from film, music and different cultures.
The West Village is set to welcome Gant to their 353 Bleecker Street location in early 2010. The trendy north end shopping area has seen little vacancy over the past years, so when Gerry’s (a boutique for sports apparel) closed its doors, the eagerness to fill the 700 square foot space became inevitable. American founded, now Swedish-based Gant took down the dreadful “For Rent” sign and is brining their style to the inspiringly creative, art Mecca of Manhattan. The Shophound reports Gant’s U.S. CEO Ari Hoffman telling WWD, “the store will have an “industrial factory” look, with steel benches and cast-iron fixtures.” [The Shophound]
The sexy, yet sophisticated heritage brand, Burberry Prorsum, is set to broadcast its Spring 2010 runway collection via the Internet on September 22nd. The 6:30 p.m. show will be a part of London Fashion Week’s 25th Anniversary. With the ultra-crazed, front-row phenomenon of live broadcasting, Burberry is giving its viewers the opportunity to share their comments on the collection. “It’s going to be a celebration of British fashion, British creativity, and of Burberry being back home in London, and we are all excited about it,” said Creative Director Christopher Bailey to WWD.
