In The Showroom: Ideeen Spring 2009
Ideeen's Spring 2009 collection was based on a dream, with each delivery marking a different stage in the experience. The collection starts out with powdery nudes and soft, feminine layering. Next, elements of darkness follow the cloud-like beginning and bring the collection into a stage where draping, color, and print are experimented with. The New York-based Japanese design duo behind this brand, Junko Hirata and Atsuko Yanase, met when they were working for designer Catherine Malandrino. With just a few seasons under their belt, Ideeen has received critical acclaim from both buyers and press. To see the Spring 09 look book, click here.

We normally dislike celebrity fragrance endorsements but Yves Saint Laurent Parfums has announced that Vincent Cassel will be the face of an upcoming men’s fragrance and we rather like the choice. The star of gritty French drama “La Haine” is about as hip as they come so we don't complain. If only all companies were this forward thinking about their faces.
