Moog 2010 Apparel

ladder_filter_photoMoog is better known for oscillators and potentiometers than they are for cut and sew.   But for Spring 2010, the fine people at Moog will be releasing a modest line of apparel that reflects all the sensibilities that the brand has come to embody.

Responsible for creating a legacy of musical and studio equipment used from artists like the Neptunes, Bob Dylan, Daft Punk, RJD2 and Sonic Youth (to name a few) Moog has long been a sought after brand that core musicians will go to any lengths to own.  Moog knows this.  In response, they wanted to create a small apparel line so that all of their fans and enthusiasts, size notwithstanding, could own a piece of Moog.  While not everyone can own an Etherwave Theremin, everyone can stake claim to a Moog hoodie.

The current Spring 2010 line features a limited selection of tees, hoodies and hats that espouse the craftsmanship and detail inherent in all of Moog’s products.  Moog’s apparel line is available for purchase online at moogmusic.com.

The current lookbook can be viewed here - www.moogmusic.com/2010lookbook

Rich Hippie rocks!

rich_hippie_rhgroupshot2small_3As great gifts go there’s not a lot that can beat a Rich Hippie perfume (ok, so it’s not quite a holiday in Aruba but…). Each of the perfumes is packed full of exquisite ingredients that have been carefully selected by the Rich Hippie team for all the right reasons.
We’re great believers in the less is more philosophy - we pick the very finest ingredients and let them really shine through, and we never bulk out our fragrances with chemicals. We’re also fanatical about giving something back, which is why we source all the raw ingredients from family-run farms whenever possible. We actively support organic farming methods to avoid polluting our water supply and the earth with unnecessary contaminants. The wine alcohol which we use to preserve our scents is produced from organically grown grapes harvested from the great wine regions of California - making up the basis of each individual fragrance.
So, we can tick all the eco credentials you demand from your perfume but what about the perfumes themselves? We’re proud to count numerous celebrities and rock royalty amongst our most loyal fans. Our perfumes and scents epitomise the easy, relaxed style and Bohemian vibe of A-listers like the beautiful Sienna Miller, the eclectic trends that Kate Moss pioneers and the chilled out glamour of Julia Roberts on a film set. So, while your lifestyle may not be as enviable as Hollywood’s finest - your fragrance can be!
If that’s whetted your appetite to try one of the Rich Hippie fragrances you’ll also be delighted to know we’re extending our special buy one get one offer until the end of the month! Until the end of February Rich Hippie customers can purchase any of our fragrances - including sample sizes and roll-ons - and chose another scent of equal value or less absolutely free! All you need to do is visit www.rich-hippie.com and take a look at the range on offer. Once you know what you want add the scent you will purchase to your basket and proceed to checkout. At the checkout you will need to enter the name of the second perfume you wish to receive for free in the comment box and we’ll get both items sent out to you.

Chaco Introduces PRO Series Sandals for Spring and Summer Adventures

image010image012In a continued focus to meet the growing needs of outdoor adventurers and river professionals, Chaco has introduced a new PRO series of sandals that are function-driven and will take you anywhere your feet want to go.

Key features of the new sandals include:

- A new Vibram Idrogrip outsole for durability, extra wear-resistance and performance on the trail

- Water-evacuation channels that run heel-toe and move water away from the lug surfaces to maximize contact between rubber and ground during use in and around water

- Channels that run across the width of the foot that both evacuate water and aid walking motion by forcing the entire outsole/midsole to break and articulate during the walking motion

- Enhanced lateral heel lug for wear resistance at heel-strike and toe-off during walking motion

Styles include: Z/1 PRO, the original Chaco Z sandal; Z/2 PRO with a toe loop for added security; Hipthong PRO, a super functional, adjustable flip; and Flip PRO, a full-on performance flip.

NIXXI KEEPS IT SWEET, SLOUCHY AND MODERN

nixxi1Push the envelope this season with an edgy, rocker-like look! Nixxi’s slouchy tees and skinny pants are reminiscent of a cooler version of the 1980s. A definite must for any indie girl!
“The collection reminds me of my teenage years,” says designer Jada-lee Watson. “I loved big statement tees with leggings and, of course, pink and mauve! This collection combines that aesthetic with the minimalism that is Nixxi for a more modern look.”
Perfect for summer, fan favourites like the Ruched Cropped Leggings ($62) and Ruche Top ($74) are back! Available in a palette of white, black, and grey, with accents of ink blue, violet, and muted pink to brighten up the look.
“My favourite piece this season is the Empire Dress,” says Jada-lee. “We always use great fabrics like organic cotton and woven bamboo voile, but I’m most excited about the linen I’m bringing in from Italy for the dresses. It is beautifully textural.”
Pair the Empire or Breeze Dress ($160 for organic cotton voile and bamboo voile or $210 for the Italian linen) with the Leggings ($58) for a night on the town. This versatile number will take you anywhere you want to go.
Prices range from $54 for leggings to $210 for dresses. Definitely try on the V-Neck Top ($96) and Ruched Leggings ($66) pictured above! Nixxi is available in Canada, USA, and Australia. Also find Nixxi at the EcoChic Fashion Show in Geneva, Switzerland in January 2010.

NextAid and Make-Up Designory With Help from DJ Rap, Colette, Samantha James and Eve Falcon Launch New Promo Campaign For MUD Cares Palette of Eye Colors To Fund Construction & Education for Red Rhino Orphanage Project in Kenya

mud-vertBelieving that everyone deserves a beautiful future, the nation’s leading make-up educational institute, Make-Up Designory (MUD), created the MUD Cares Palette of Eye Colors to benefit NextAid and one of its partners in Africa, the Red Rhino Orphanage Project (RROP). 100% of the sales from the limited-edition four-color eye shadow palette are being generously donated to NextAid to help RROP build a foundation for a better tomorrow. Once the specially commissioned palettes sell out the funds will provide construction of orphans’ homes in a poverty-stricken town 25 miles southeast of Nairobi, Kenya. Each of these eco-friendly structures will provide long-term shelter, food and medical needs for some of the most vulnerable orphans in the area. NextAid has increased efforts to sell the remaining palettes with the launch of an extensive online promotional campaign with the help of lovely superstars ColetteDJ RapEve Falcon, and Samantha James. To help spread beauty from the inside out, purchase the palette online athttp://shop.mudshop.com/mud-cares-palette or MUD retail stores located in Burbank and SoHo.

The MUD Cares Palette, retailing for $25.00, is a quad of eye shadows developed and created by Make-Up Designory. The four colors were hand-selected by members of NextAid to bring out the natural beauty of every skin tone. Stay grounded with Spanish Gold and Dulce de Leche, create a warm glow with Cashmere, or visualize a better world with vibrant Moss. The powders are soft and finely milled with just a touch of sheen. The shades work for most skin tones and complexions.

By selling only 1,000 palettes, MUD will raise $25,000 to fund the final construction and initial operations of two homes expected to house 16 children at Red Rhino Orphanage Project. Each of the timber-framed sustainable structures will provide basic necessities including medical supplies for rescued children, children at risk, and orphans in a safe, encouraging and healthy environment. The project also funds the children’s educational pursuits, from elementary school through secondary and university or trade school.

NextAid co-founder and director, Lauren Segal-Avenna explains, “The children Red Rhino Orphanage Project is caring for are some of the saddest cases in the region. These are kids that have absolutely nowhere else to go. These were once babies who were literally left on door steps, trash heaps… totally abandoned.”

In late 2009, four incredible talents from DJ culture came together for a MUD makeover and photo shoot at MUD’s Burbank studio to help NextAid spread the word to their combined global fan-bases. Los Angeles-based DJs and artists Colette, DJ Rap, Eve Falcon, and Samantha James, all generous supporters of NextAid, freed up their busy schedules and volunteered their time. Look for the NextAid/MUD web-banners featuring the four DJ beauties splashed around the internet this spring.

HARDIHOOD’S NEW WOMEN’S COLLECTION MAKES IT A FAMILY AFFAIR

_mg_4534Ladies, we’re moving on up! For the first time ever, Hardihood Clothing is releasing a women’s line. Playing with the concept of Tibetan Buddhist influences, the collection has fantastic fit, great colours, and will be unfolding this spring.

“At Hardihood we are always pushing the boundaries to be unique,” says Creative Director Angus Wong. “We’ve had so many requests to do women’s clothing and now that we’ve had so much success with our men’s line, we are ready to tackle this new challenge and expand the Hardihood family.”

The designs embody Hardihood Clothing’s self-assured maxim, I Am What You Are Not. “The Hardihood woman is sassy and strong – she’s the type that can change your mind without saying a word,” says Angus. This boldness is on display with the cheeky Kiss Tee ($66).

“My favourite item this season has to be the Mandala Tee,” says Angus. “It’s a Tibetan term that means ‘essence’ or ‘completion’ and I wanted to reflect karma by using the geometry of a circle.” Very apropos given that every Hardihood design means a lot more than initially meets the eye.
We love the Peacock Tee ($66). “According to Indian culture, peacock feathers are the enemy of poisonous creatures, able to convert primary poisons like ignorance, desire, and aversion into the nectar of wisdom,” says Angus. “It symbolizes women being able to deflect poisons of everyday life and thrive in the face of a challenge.”
Look for the City Tee ($59)! “Vancouver is one of the best places in the world to live,” says Angus. “This shirt is all about paying homage to the city that moulded me into who I am today!” Want some other options? Try the Familia Tee, Star U Tee, and Chrys V Tee.
Hardihood Clothing’s (hardihoodclothing.com) Spring/Summer collection will be at The Men’s Club in Burnaby and West Vancouver, at Romeo & Juliet in Vancouver, at Triple Crown Apparel in Coquitlam, at Triple Threat Clothing in Coquitlam, at X10Sion 207 in Kelowna, at Suteki in Montreal, at Eleventh Hour Clothing in Waterloo, and at Unicus Jeans in Mississauga.
