NY Fashion Week preview of Desigual Fall-Winter 2015 collection

NY.Fashion.Week.FW2015On Thursday Feb. 12, 2015, Barcelona-based Desigual unveiled some of its Fall-Winter 2015 collection at New York Fashion Week. The NYC catwalk featured the styles by Christian Lacroix, the Paris couturier who designs about 10% of Desigual’s line. The fall 2015 collection is called Yes. This season is called: Say Something Nice.

Here is a video showing the highlights of the New York show, which features Winnie Harlow, Desigual’s new brand ambassador (last year it was Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima):Also, here’s a sneak peak video of Desigual’s Fall-Winter 2015 collection for women, recently unveiled at Fashion Week in Madrid, with photos below:

Winnie.Harlow.2015 Desigual.Winnie.scarfThis is another new Desigual video featuring Winnie Harlow, the inspirational Canadian model with a rare skin condition called vitiligo; having  just turned 20, she is Desigual’s new brand ambassador for the Spring-Summer 2015 collection:Winnie.Harlow.Desigual.brand.ambassador.2015And here’s another new video showing Harlow modeling some of the Spring-Summer collection:

Although the video above from the NYC show doesn’t show it, the first song played at the Desigual fashion show in New York on Feb. 12, 2015, was Hideaway by Canadian singer Kiesza:Angel Vancouver has the largest selection of Desigual for men, women and kids on Canada’s West Coast. Angel also specializes in hand-painted one-of-a-kind clothing. We ship worldwide.

This week, you’ll save up to 40% off the Desigual winter collection from 2014. We also have 25% off made in Spain Desigual shoes and boots, 30% off Desigual rain boots, and have only a few remaining Desigual umbrellas.

Angel also has new Desigual shoes, skirts, dresses and tops for women for spring, as well as new Desigual shirts, T-shirts and jeans for men.

Desigual’s motto is La Vida es Chula (Spanish translation: Life is Cool!):LaVidaesChula

Today’s video is from last Sunday’s Grammy Awards, with comedian/writer/actor Kristen Wiig ( (Saturday Night Live, Bridesmaids) and 12-year-old dancer Maddy Ziegler in a live performance of Chandelier by Australia singer Sia (she faced the wall during the dance-off):Here’s Sia’s original video for the song:Here’s the lyrcis video:And here’s one of the song’s more bizarre covers by the six-foot-eight Puddles the Sad Clown (why does he keep fondling his furry buttons?!):By the way, New York Art Nerd writer Lori Zimmer wrote Tuesday that she felt the stage set for the Sia-Wiig-Ziegler performance was inspired by Vancouver photographer Jeff Wall‘s photograph After “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison, the Prologue. The photo was a cinematic interpretation of the 1952 award-winning novel, in which the main character, an unnamed narrator who is an African American man, lives secretly “in my hole in the basement [where] there are exactly 1,369 lights…powered by stolen electricity.”  You can compare Wall’s photo, created in 2000, with the Grammy set for Sia’s Chandelier:Jeff.Wall._Invisible-man-by-Ralp-Ellison-the-Prologue_1999-2000_transparencyinlightbox_174x2505cm_courtesytheartist_original The 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards - Show

He planned returning to Vancouver but got sidetracked when a friend asked if he wanted to try singing for a new band….Now Sir Geldof, he is best known for organizing two Live Aid concerts for African famine relief in July 1985, almost 30 years ago. The live concerts were watched by an estimated two billion people worldwide.

Timothy Spall is an Angel customer

Timothy.Spall.in.Mr.Turner

British actor Timothy Spall in the new Mike Leigh film, Mr. Turner

A few years ago, British actor Timothy Spall walked into my store with his wife. I immediately recognized him, despite his wearing a cowboy hat at the time. I had admired his acting in director Mike Leigh’s Secrets & Lies film, released in 1996 and nominated for five Academy Awards.

“You’re an actor?” I asked him.

“Why, yes I am,” he replied.

“I think you do fantastic work,” I told him.

“Why, thank you very much,” he said.

My face turned red as we continued chatting for a few minutes about what he was doing in Vancouver. I thought about our brief encounter recently as I watched the new Mike Leigh film, Mr. Turner, which examines the final years of great British painter J.M.W. Turner.

Spall was recently acclaimed as best actor at the Cannes Film Festival for the Turner role, and by the U.S. National Society of Film Critics, which also awarded best cinematography to Mr. Turner.

Spall, 57. previously played Winston Churchill in The King’s Speech and Wormtail in the Harry Potter films.

Here is a film clip from the new Mike Leigh film, Mr. Turner, Spall’s  seventh collaboration with Leigh since 1981:Here’s Spall explaining his film portrayal:And here’s a Tate video featuring Spall, Mike Leigh & others explaining the art research and painting techniques used in the film:Turner was once offered £100,000 for some of his paintings and sketches of Britain, but he turned down the offer, saying he wanted to leave his 20,000 pieces to the people of England. Here is the National Gallery’s short documentary about Mr. Turner:This is a recent photo of Spall with his son, actor Rafe Spall:Actor.Rafe.Spall.with.dad.Timothy.Getty.Images

The first is a new song, Go, by Vancouver’s Grimes:The second is by American singer Zola Jesus, who is originally from Wisconsin and is of Russian heritage; she performs in Vancouver on Jan. 10. She wrote and recorded this song, Dangerous Days, on Vashon Island in Washington State, just south of Vancouver. The scenery in the video is very similar to Canada’s West Coast:Z.J. recently tweeted that she found this cover by a seven-year-old “the most violently adorable thing I’ve ever heard.” Our third song is Water Me from the debut album by English singer-songwriter FKA twigs. Her real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett. Her nickname was Twigs but she added FKA (the initials stand for “formerly known as”) after another artist named Twigs complained about the use of the name:And just for nostalgia, here is a song from 1963 by French actress Brigette Bardot:
