I am sure you are familiar with Etsy treasuries, right? The collection of items within a titled theme. My items are frequently added to treasuries (thanks a lot!), I even featured some here on the blog in the past. The newest treasury is called Love Kills and my Sex Pistols skirt is featured. It's a great collection period, but one item stood out immediately: The Sid and Nancy crochet puppets - Dope! Including studded belt and fishnet stockings! 95 bucks and they both (plus the knife) are yours to keep...
So that very crafty crochet lady from the slightly darker side goes by the name of Shove and her Etsy shop is called Croshame.
Gotta love the craft but I also admire the messages she's communicating. For example what about this burger?
...labeled 'very rare indeed', this cow burger rocks!
...unassembled cow burger...
Aawwh! Come on, this is simply too much snow!
Of course I remember a many harsh winters in New York City, but what we are recently enduring is out of this world. Since weeks things have been buried under ice and I was not surprised to see this "sculpture" the other day. It says: " This is simply too much snow!"
We are trapped! We are going under! Shovels are all sold out (Already went through our 4th this season, none of them surviving more than a day or 2 of ice action. China - your manufacturing may be on point for many things, but stop making snow shovels, they are not sturdy enough for this weather) and they do no longer carry my size winter boots anywhere, I checked.
Well, well, it's mother nature, so we've got to hang in there I guess... by now, I really crave Spring.

...becoming Wonder Woman...So the new year 2011 came upon us and yet no new post on my beloved blog until today! Well, I have been finishing up work from the end of last year (yes there are a few dresses that did not make it to the post office yet) and just basically tried to find spirited ideas for the new one. There are indeed so many things that I have to and would love to work on and I just basically have to figure out which one to do first. So prioritizing, that is what I am doing, sorting through a vast array of things to do.
I am going to be doing some web design, besides clothing design, yes. There will be a lot of new fashion design too. For example, I have a Betty Boop print in front of me that is so amazing! It's Betty as a hippie girl on a brightly colored tie dye... Carl stepped by the studio today and saw it and said: "That would make a great bag!" I have to say, yes, it would! And I think I will follow his intuition and make a bag out of it, besides the dress that I already have in mind... it'll be amazing to wear this Summer, with lots of glittery jewelry and fringes... is this going to be another Summer of Love?!
O.K. so as I do not have anything to 'show' you just yet, I wanted to at least fill you in on this new Idil Vice portrait by Carl Posey. I love it! It's my new facebook profile picture too... BTW, did you see The Social Network? Amazing! So driven! I want to see it again and again!
Carl is working on a fast forward photo slide show/film which is putting several version of this image in motion so to speak and yes, it is an amazing piece of work... will be posted shortly, O.K.?
I am wearing a vanilla cream colored button down shirt from Uniqlo under the psychedelic Jim Morrison Denim Jacket from my own FashionRocks collection. Plus I am holding over my eyes my signature Swissair eye mask hairband in royal blue.

I am a big sparkling water fan. Primarily because I really like to drink it (you can't satisfy me with sugary soda) but also to try to ward off and dilute any bad ingredients that I might take in with the water that comes through the faucet at home, which I already filter. My favorite of all is Valser Wasser, but that is exclusively available in Switzerland to the Swiss citizens and since I reside in the US, I have got to go with others, until they are importing it (they are importing Rivella, so it shouldn't be too long). But I also like to change it up. Mostly it's the kind that contain at least some per centage of calcium. I drink Perrier, Pellegrino, Blu Italy, Gerolsteiner and many more... Sure, they all taste different.
So for me, water is already very fashionable but when I saw the Missoni Pellegrino at Pastis in the Meatpacking District, I knew a new wave of fashion waters has arrived. I am pretty sure Missoni pays Pellegrino to be on their branded bottle. A nice and easy way to promote Italian fashion. Pellegrino water is available everywhere in New York and it is a healthy beverage. I wonder if we see Gucci Pellegrino or Prada Pellegrino in the near future... what about Giorgio Armani Pellegrino? Maybe Pellegrino has to pay them... Anyway, I just wanted to fill you in on maybe the most fashionable drink in Manhattan today.
I am Swiss and I love chocolate! Hah! Surprised? Formerly known as a sort of sin and a bad nutritional choice, it has since been categorized as one of the great antioxidants to benefit our health (at least the dark chocolate). I use it in the studio as a quick pick me up in the afternoon and as a treat before bedtime.
In my teens and beyond I favored the milky kind chocolate while my mother preferred the dark bittersweet ones, which I always thought of to be pretty close to disgusting... well times have changed and so did my palate.
Nowadays I indulge in the darkest of chocolates, the more per cents of cacao the better! When I got wind of the Antidote Chocolate that my colleague Red came up with, all I wanted was taste it.
My opportunity came last week when Red announced the launch of Antidote Chocolates:
At the launch from left to right: Awa Kamara, Red Thalhammer, Nadine Buchler, Armando Forlin and IdilVice.

Fashion Week has passed and it's time to exchange summer clothes for fall and winter styles in our closets. Here is my tip on where to go style wise right now: Preppy is cool! I've included some university crests in the IdilVice skirt collection: Yale, Harvard, Brown University, Penn State and more - They are fun and so easy to accessorize!
In a snap you've got yourself a whole new look for fall! Take a crisp bow tie button down shirt (will work with so many other looks this season) under a blazer, a high boot (you can wear the one from last season) and some color accents will work just fine to bring this look together. Too cool for school maybe.... but just right for the streets - Check out preppy!
