Yesterday evening I had the honour of talking to tAz Arnold.

I am dead serious when I say  that he will become one of the best high end designers in the world.

I’m such a fan of his work that I got a kind of nervous and the interview started off a bit rocky.

I always find myself dorking out on the people I admire. And although I relax after a couple of minutes, when the interview is over most of the time I’m left with a crush that’s a trip.

Let’s see : Pharrell : yep. So_Me : check. Don’t even get me started on what kind of state I was in after spending 45 minutes with Stephen Dewaele.

Dude, I even felt giddy after interviewing the -female- head designer of Agent Provocateur.

Anyway. Taz and I had such a good chat that I felt comfortable enough to make him promise that he would talk to Sarah about stocking his collections at Colette. I think my exact words were : “Now, you have to ask her. Don’t wait until she calls you.”

In my defence: I have been raised better than I sound.

He was extremely courteous though. We talked about growing up in the eighties, his new albums, the new Ti$a MCM line (I got another scoop!) and Karl Lagerfeld.

And if that wasn’t mind blowing enough, before he said goodbye he sweetly added that I made his day.

*spazzing*

Mr. Arnold : you made my entire month.

And the next one.

Ah hell, who am I kidding. I’m having the BEST year!

You can read the interview in DSM which you’ll find together with De Standaard on news stands Saturday April 18th.

Great shoot by The Selby. Do check his site, there’s a lot of cool stuff on it.

Now I’m a shirt girl, before I’m a shoe girl. So the one that Sarah’s wearing in this picture immediatly caught my attention.

More pics & where to get it (no, not at Colette)  after the jump…

It’s something worth considering.

Ever since I’ve been back from Tokyo I’ve been missing Sarah Colette grinning at me while I brush my teeth…

When you type “Colette” in the search engine of our site, or you visit our old site (which I think, is still a very fun read!) , you’ll get plenty of posts bigging up all the amazing things you can buy and be inspired by at this store. (e.g. the ‘oui oui, colette makes me happy’ post) . You know we love sharing all the fab stuff the world has to offer. Well almost all of the good stuff.. I’ve got a little confession to make..

For the past two years, we’ve been regularly visiting a particular wonderful blog. And we didn’t share it with you. Its posters consist of a group of friends: Sarah, Nadège Winter, Delinlee Delovely aka Linlee Allen (she writes for Style.com as well), Busy P, Michael and Ju (we met him while he was still in charge of the Nike Studio in Paris, what a wonderful man).

It’s called We Love Paris. All of them take turns posting which makes this blog one of the most interesting reads on the net.

Now that Sarah (buyer and Colette’s Madame Make-It-Happen) put our pic on her site, we can’t but link you to hers. Also for all you book freaks, make sure to check out her other blog on Arkitip.

Now about the whole lil’ KNOTORYUS taking pics thing. It’s not that we think it’s cool that a 3 year old uses a digital camera that’s not meant for kids. But we bought her one of those Kidizoom thingies for her birthday. Since she was taking all of the pictures on our family holidays. Normally this kid is happy with as much as one new crayon. But when we said: “Happy Birthday! It’s a camera!” She said “thank you”, but gave us a look that said “Call it what you want, but don’t call it a camera.”

She donated it to her SpongeBob thinking it looked like it would be something his friend Patrick would like and that was that. Back to the old Canon. So when we drag her off too all kinds of work related things, we let her do something she loves as well. This particular day, she wanted to take pictures of everybody. Thank you Sarah for posting this souvenir!

Want to know what an average day for Sarah is like? Read the guestblog she kept for The Moment during Paris Fashion Week.

So, I’ve mentioned Mark The Cobrasnake for about 25 times over the last 8 months. I’ve used tons of his photo’s on this site, but I always gave him credit & bought every t-shirt he designed trying to balance out that cobra-karma.

Turns out that shit works… Here’s our story of the Paris Yard Sale.

The pic is… ehm, a bit VAGUE, but check out that lovely look he’s giving me. That was the last picture I took by the way. Fuck. When So_Me, Busy P, Sarah & Cory are all gathered in a 4 meter radius, the last thing I wanna do is look at them through a lens.

The youngest KNOTORYUS one didn’t mind, though. No lie. She took ALL of the Busy P pics, and most of the other ones as well.

This was so much fun. Keep an eye on this site for the NYLON TV film.

Jeremy Scott is one of the most relevant designers in the game. Sure, you can quote me on that.

Backstage looks like fashion. Front row is not filled with boring all in black editors wearing this season’s (black) stuff they either borrowed from the fashion closet or bought at Zara. No, front row is pure fashion future as well.Check it out after the jump.

Her little silver hat is genius.

Uffie is going to be the postergirl for Married to the MOB’s S/S 08 campaign. She hosted a big party in NYC together with Jalouse, Colette & MOB’s Leah Mc Sweeney. A couple of what I’m guessing are new MOB looks after the jump.
