Daily Desire | Lanvin Calfskin Sneakers

Lanvin Goat Calfskin SneakersWhile we have a taste for things that are a bit expensive, it’s rare for us to be into things by the top designers like Lanvin, for example. Most of the time, these labels make stuff that’s geared towards fashion victims — the price point is right, but the look and feel is canned and looks like something you’d see in a discount store for $75 marked down from $565.

We’re not quite sure what’s happening, but maybe the higher end brands like Lanvin are finally getting their game together (or maybe this is just a fluke!). Either way, we love these calfskin sneakers and think you’ll like them too. Get yours in colette‘s eShop.

((Daily Desire) Preventi | Waxed Kudu Boots

Preventi Waxed Kudu BootYou know those woman who have closets ful of shoes in all colors, heights, styles, and such? That’d be us if we had $1,000′s to spend.

We’re in constant shock at how many cool shoes, sneakers and boots are on the market. The more we look, the more we find, and as unlikely as it seems, things just keep getting better and better. There are so many brands in Europe and Asia that make the coolest stuff, much of which isn’t available at all in the US and, if they are, they’re only available at 1 or 2 shops in the whole country, sometimes not even in New York. GASP!

Check out this pair of boots by Italian line Preventi, who we’ve covered before here and here. We say this a lot, but we REALLY want a pair of these. Get yours before it’s too late.

InCase + AnOther + colette + Gareth Pugh

There’s a saying about too many cooks spoiling the broth and you’d think that having 4 entities like InCase, AnOther Magazine, Gareth Pugh, and colette involved in a collaboration could potentially be disastorous. Fortunately, cliches are only right most of the time, but not all of the time. I’d say the latest InCase artist collaboration is their best yet.

Incase has partnered with fashion and culture biannual AnOther Magazine and esteemed Paris fashion boutique colette to release a capsule collection of accessories for Apple product users with an appreciation for high fashion and technology. Ornamented with bold graphic artwork by fashion designer Gareth Pugh, the highly limited collection includes a 13” MacBook Pro Sleeve and iPhone 3GS Slider Case.

The products are part of a collaborative project between AnOther Magazine and colette, featuring a select group of favored brands and designers handpicked to create the six limited-edition products for this iteration of the project. All products in the series will be carried exclusively by select boutiques in major fashion capitals of the world–Paris, London, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York, and Los Angeles.
