KO HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2016

Happy Holidays to all my readers!!! Here is my 2016 gift guide. I try to mix it up, but curate it all to things I adore. If you are interested in anything below, just click on the image and that should take you to an online portal where you can purchase these wonderful objects of desire…

 

Black runway acoustic guitar and case from Chanel Vintage featuring a black lacquered spruce wood body, a head stock logo stamp, a logo stamp at the back, a detachable strap and leather quilted effect. Please note that this is an unworn archive piece. However it is not new and therefore may have minor imperfections. Material: Calf Leather/wood.

Giuseppe Zanotti Boots called NEVADA- These boots will go well with my Stampede wear collection. If you have never been to the Calgary Stampede, it is a bizarre thing to try and comprehend. But once a year for 10 days, the city where I live turns into a western wear Mecca for all things country. It takes time to build up a wild west collection of clothes fit for Dolly Parton, but these would be the creme de la creme 😉 Especially with my red sequin cowgirl hat. One day I will make it to Nashville to shop all the tassels and sequins there.

 

 

 

Gucci Black Gucci Ghost Knit Sweater- Since taking the helm atGucciin January of last year,Alessandro Michelehas enlisted the help of a roster of creative talents to help him craft the house’s new aesthetic- graffiti artistGucciGhost(AKA Trouble Andrew). Andrew made a name for himself by branding items – from rubbish bins to random walls in his neighbourhood – with Gucci’s double-G logo. Michele, however, gave the graffiti artist a new canvas: his AW16 collection. Read about it here inDAZED.

With a background in History of Art and a diploma in Surface Textile Design from the London College of Fashion, Weiland takes her inspiration from the witticisms of modern art and a playful engagement with pattern and texture.

Marie Saint Pierre ATELIER GIVERNY Short scuba dress- Canadian designer Marie Saint Pierreis one of Quebec’s most successful fashion designers. Recently her work was honoured at the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards with the Prix d’Excellence. Yet since she started her label more than 25 years ago, she’s remained committed to designing and producing her clothing and leather goods in Montreal. I love the structure and fit or her designs, and for me this was a great 2016 discovery.
