by xoJohn

Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Miley Cyrus, Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson can see wearing Rebecca Minkoff latest handbag creations. With such a huge following, we were excited to have been invited to the special preview of Rebecca Minkoff’s Pre-Fall and Fall 2009 collections, which will be available between June and August.

The San Diego, California native began sewing at the tender age of 8 and designing clothes by the time she turned 18. Minkoff has turned her love of design into a well-established line that is currently carried in over 200 boutiques across the USA as well as France, Canada, Japan. Which such success under her belt, Rebecca could not have been more down to earth when we briefly spoke with her during the preview.

JSD: When did you start sewing?

Rebecca Minkoff: I started sewing when I was eight and I made my Bar Mitzvah dress when I was thirteen. So I have been sewing and drawing since I was eight.

Wellington Hair Spa specializes in custom tailored consultations and hair analysis for all hair types. If you seek natural hair care, colors, trims, cuts, and conditioning treatments, Wellington Hair Spa should be on your short list of hair spas. To celebrate 25 years of exceptional hair service, the spa held an exclusive bash at the salon located in the heart of Chelsea (NYC). Founder Patrick Wellington greeted the crowd and NBC’s The Apprentice season two contestant/entrepreneur Stacie J hosted the event alongside hair care brand Mizani (Swahili for balance). Mizani consists of professional relaxers, shampoos, treatments, and hair colors. Chef Jesse Jones provided the Hors D’oeuvres, which were delicious and went quite well with the Bouké wine.

On Location: Tibi Fall 2009 Fashion Show

by xoJohn

A few weeks ago we brought you an exclusive interview with Tibi designer and creator Amy Smilovic. This fashion week season we were invited to the runway presentation of the Fall 2009 line.

The quote by Amy Smilovic at the top of the Tibi itinerary read “Fall is about a light-hearted moodiness influenced by the Russian fairytale “The Tale Of The Firebird.” Okay, so we’ll see some Russian influenced clothes this evening! This should be interesting. Based on her previous fall line, which I LOVED, I was excited to see what she had to present.

I was a bit disappointed with the overall fall line. There were a few stand out pieces, but the rest of the line was a bit simple-dull. The Russian influence translated in the ever-present black pieces and fur hats and gloves. There were ruffles, boxy pieces and she brought back paisley, which has to be colored a certain way for me to like it and this was not the case- damn those Russians! My favorite out of the simpler designs though was the Yelena Bustier Jumpsuit- a dark purple bustier, high-waisted black, loose, ankle tight pants. Simple, chic, nice!
