Complex named Public School as 2008’s brand of the year.  The brand’s founders Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne are featured in the newest episode of Cut & Show.  The New York natives discuss the vision behind Public School’s designs and how the “black apple” became the brand’s signature logo.  From their public school upbringings in New York to their interests in fashion, Public School has become a leading seller in Barney’s retail stores.

Famed photographer Steven Meisel, who’s work has graced the pages of Vogue Italia, teamed up with Editions Ricordi to create a limited-edition jigsaw puzzle of model Meghan Collison.  For $750, you can have one of the limited-edition puzzles in a custom made cloth box.  Wait, I forgot to mention that each box is signed by Meisel himself.

The image originally appeared in Vogue Italia, a publication for which Meisel has created every cover and lead editorial story for nearly two decades.

Each custom-made cloth box is signed and numbered by Steven Meisel. The jigsaw puzzle
is manufactured by Editions Ricordi, makers of high-quality jigsaw puzzles since 1808.

The puzzle is being sold at Colette in Paris and Barney’s in New York.  Click here for more info.

Go green in colour and thought. This v-neck, under the name Leroy and Perry by Lutz and Patmos for Barneys, is made from cotton from recycled T-shirts and bamboo. Which means it’s enviromentally green, and actually green too. Sometimes it’s easy being green.
