Is it the 80s or the 90s all over again? We can’t quite figure it out. Regardless of the decade, we are sure that logomanie is back with a vengeance. As a matter of fact, just today, Dior announced it would re-release its iconic logo clad Saddle Bag. The Fendi Zucca print exploded all over influencers before its most recent runway collection. Then there’s Gucci.

We urge you to think twice before  forking over several thousands for the new iterations of these logo prints. You may want to consider searching for the perfect vintage version. The result will surly be a more interesting item and for a lot less money. Over here is a Dior Saddle Bag that’s just $375 and here is a Double Saddle Bag and it’s just $325.

Moving onto Fendi, there is the standard Baguette that can be had for under $300. Then there are the more interesting items like this Zucca print robe that’s about $500, rainboots are $273,  an oversized cardigan is $800 and a coat is $700.

At this point, everything Gucci is a logo. When looking for vintage Gucci try to be sure that the item looks fresh. For example, this 80s carry-on travel bag, a wallet on a belt and this 70s clutch are just perfect.

If anything, fashion loves extremes. So feel free to pile it on and mix it up. Just don’t get too invested. Before long, we will all be anti-logo again.

It takes a real eye to appreciate the imperfect as much as beauty. It’s for this reason fashion has always had an obsession with items that are wayward, or even, ugly. This especially goes for footwear. What else could explain Uggs, Crocs, Doc Martins, and yes, the newest trend, daddy sneakers?

They are chunky, grubby, heavy and unbelievably unflattering. They are the ultimate star of the 80s movie — think Ferris Bueller’s Day Off — and every designer is now making them. Currently, the most popular variation is Balenciaga’s Triple S. The $900 sneakers sell out as quickly as they become available. On the secondary market the Triple S goes for even twice as much.

Vetements offers a pair of norm-core daddy kicks through a collaboration with Reebok, which are arguably even more ugly than the Triple S and cost $950. There is the brightly colored Nike Lab x Comme des  Garçon for $250 but just a few sizes still remain.

This trend shows little sign of letting up. Gucci just showcased their own iteration of daddy sneakers. They are as big and bulky as this season’s version but they have the added element of draped jewels. Do the gems make you want them even more?

Maybe ugly designer sneakers are just another way to entice customers with ugly designer socks. After all, it’s the imperfect that makes beauty interesting.

As the fashion glitterati tracks Italian trends from Milan, everyone from 13-year-old kids to their moms and even the Art Basel crowd will be stationed at their computers come 11am-sharp on Thursday. That’s when Supreme is scheduled to ‘drop’ their spring collection online. Wait more than two minutes and it will all be gone.

Supreme isn’t just about just skateboard decks anymore. Following its successful collaboration with LVMH, the streetwear brand has captured the attention of those normally clad with Chanel classics and Hermes Birkins. Establishing that you can spend between $5000 and $50,000 on a status bag isn’t enough any more. Style arbiters are much more interested in procuring the hard-to-get.

This Spring Supreme release, is poised to be the biggest ever. The collection includes all of Supreme’s famous basics from hoodies, hats and tees. The fastest selling items from the in-store release, last week, were a faux fur logo coat, the glow-in-the-dark Pile Skull pieces and the “Illegal Business Controls America” hoodie.

We have our eye on some other items–being as we are a little bit out of the Supreme demographic. Of course, there is the pinball machine, which is a great summer home decor accessory. The logo lighter is a great piece, whether you smoke or not. We love the duffle bag, which is perfect to use for airport travel because it’s light and bright. It also feels so much more right-now than LV luggage. The best part is that it’s just $150. You can click over this way to see all the pieces in Thursday’s drop.

If you’re shopping online from Supreme for the first time, don’t be surprised if your credit card is flagged. The site, unsurprisingly, encounters lots of fraud. You may want to call your credit card company beforehand so that your purchase ability won’t be compromised.

Luxury shoppers who feel too highbrow for this Supreme offering can hold out for the rumored Rolex collaboration. That’s sure to catch just about everyone’s attention.

It’s not technically Spring but warmer temperatures have us thinking about the fashion season ahead. Trends usually come and go season-to-season but sometimes a hot item only picks up speed. That seems to be the case with 2017’s hot Balenciaga Speed Trainers. This low key, high luxury item shows no sign of letting up on popularity.

Right now, many department stores just got new spring shipments on these knit upper ‘sneakers’ or have started taking pre-orders. We suggest you grab them while they are available– especially if you wear a smaller size show and can’t fit into a  men’s version.

At Barneys you will find only two sizes left of the logomania version, there are still several sizes of the yellow “Power’ version and the red ‘Europe Collection’. Net-a-Porter only has one size of the metallic option and they are completely sold out of the basic style.


Bergdorf Goodman has a few size option in the basic style of Speed Trainers and is fully stocked in the black and yellow ‘Power of Dreams’. We are sure they won’t be available for very long.

Saks has a few larger women’s sizes in the basic black style but is fully sold out in the white version. Matches Fashion still has a ‘coming soon’ notice on their Spring styles. It’s probably a good idea to add them to your wishlist so that you’re updated when they become available.

If this is a look you want to rock for Spring, we suggest you roll up your jeans and speed your clicker over to Bergdorfs now. It’s your best bet for this hot kick.
