the cartier, "juste un clou", bracelet designed by aldo cipullo is going to be relaunched (announced in the march harper's bazaar). roman designer, cipullo, began working in italy and eventually moved to the states in 1959 to study at the school of visual arts in new york city. he got started working with david webb and tiffany. he began to work with cartier in the late sixties, after designing costume jewelry for trifari. in 1969 he came out with the love bracelet that could only come on and off with a screwdriver. throughout his career with cartier he experimented with new design techniques, such as using nails and dollar signs. he said, “to repeat the past is an easy way to get out of thinking, it’s an escape. The important thing is to reflect the present” (from faerber family site). i am looking forward to seeing "juste un clou's" second debut in the next coming month's.
while perusing harper's bazaar on the treadmill, i came across a lovely ad with one of my favorite models of the moment, lindsey wixon. the shoot has a fun, springy, retro vibe. the shoot was styled by julia von boehm and shot by terry richardson. i love how the bright setting brings out the patterns and textures of the clothing. it is easy to see how much fun wixon had during the shoot, and you can never forget those amazing lips and dimples after viewing these images. take a look below.

naturally, i loved mara hoffman's ready to wear line for fall 2012. the collection consisted of bohemian and tribal printed dresses and spectacularly dyed knitwear. her line was inspired by the cool, chic, and bohemian urban girl. the most amazing part of the collection were the maxi dresses, covered in the recognizable, bohemian mara hoffman prints. the wide brimmed hats and chunky metal jewelry on the models gave off a western bohemian type of vibe. my two favorite pieces are most definitely the long flowing black dresses with plunging necklines and lovely cutouts.
