Ladies…get ready to say goodbye to dressing rooms. Last week Tobi.com (an online shopping portal) launched their augmented reality application, Fashionista. The virtual dressing room allows consumers to see how an item would look super-imposed over their bodies prior to purchase. You can even snap a picture and share with your friends to get their advice.

Last year, I made the decision to purchase a Moncler coat for the 2008/09 winter and I can confidently say it was one of the best fashion decisions I have ever made.  The coat is super warm, but crazy breathable – it was this feature that pretty much sold the coat for me.  Well, it seems that the celebrity world has decided to partner with the Italin brand for an upcoming fashion collection.  The new collection will be called, Moncler V and will combine the minds of Moncler Visim, a popular Japanese brand and numerous celebrities such as Pharrell Williams.  Above is the first piece and I have to say, the bullet proof winter vest has swag written all of over it.

Arrested Motion dropped the news on the upcoming release of Original Fake’s 4 foot KAWS Dissected Gray Companion.  First off, if you don’t know who KAWS is , I recommend taking a minute and educate your street knowledge by clicking here.  Last weekend, my girl and I were shopping in SOHO (NYC)  and while strolling down Prince Street, what did I see out of the corner of my eye, but this beauty in the window of Kid Robot.  After much discussion, I wasn’t able to convince her to let me buy it for our apartment.  The fact that it was $6,000.00 didn’t help either.  Only 100 pieces in total.

The world’s oldest fashion brand just drop one hell of a gem.  Designed for those unhappy cold months, Lanvin has transformed their traditional high-top into a winter-friendly jersey upper this season. Who says you can’t look fresh in November.  Retail price…..$820.00 USD.  Available now at Aloha Rag.
