00v/47/arve/G1998/091Below are are a few of the latest pieces designed by French couturier Christian Lacroix for the Barcelona-based Desigual. I earlier wrote about how Lacroix and Desigual began their collaboration in 2011.

Here’s what Lacroix had to say when he first saw a woman wearing Desigual:

“I was awestruck by the first girl dressed by Desigual that I saw in Paris. As I watched her, I could recognize in her a member of my own tribe. It was an explosion of colours and patchwork under the elegant, discreet and always monotonous French sky. It was fantastic, truly love at first sight, a breath of fresh air, all multicoloured, scorching, revitalizing, radiating Mediterranean colours and flavours and creeping into this global and colourless magma inhabited by zombies and clones.”

Our store, Angel Vancouver, has one of the largest selections of Desigual clothing in the city for men, women and kids.

Canada’s first rock star astronaut launches amazing video as farewell bid to Space Station

Posted on May 13, 2013 by angelvancouver

Canada’s first rock star astronaut, Chris Hadfield, has released an amazing  video of him singing David Bowie’s Space Oddity and playing guitar on the International Space Station.

(The Globe & Mail reported on May 13, 2014 that Hadfield explained the one-year licence for Bowie’s song had expired: “We had permission from David Bowie’s people to post the video on YouTube for a year, and that year is up. We are working on renewing the licence for it, but as there are no guarantees when it comes to videos shot in space, we thought you might want to have one last look before we take it down.” Since it was posted on YouTube, the video has been viewed more than 22.4 million times.)

The video release was announced in this tweet Sunday from @Cmdr_Hadfield: “With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World…”

The images of space and the Earth below while he sings is simply stunning.

Commander Hadfield, who oversaw a space walk over the weekend to fix an ammonia leak, wowed earthlings several times with his musical and video productions during his five months in space. This latest video was his farewell as he handed over control of the Space Station on Sunday afternoon to Russian cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov.

Bowie, who released a new video of his own recently, approved of Hadfield’s version, tweeting: “Hallo Spaceboy…” He later added on Facebook: “It’s possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created.”

A former Bowie band member, Emm Gryner, played piano on Hadfield’s version, which tweaked the lyrics to fit the setting, and worked with her fellow Canadians, producer Joe Corcoran and filmmaker Andrew Tidby, to complete the video before its launch.

And here are Hadfield’s final reflections on his space odyssey before he returns to Earth today (Monday):

And here is a video of one of my favourite spots in Barcelona: El Mercat de la Boqueria, the public market that dates back to 1200. It’s a great place to stop to have an espresso, served by Juanito at the Pinotxo Bar (Pinochio Bar), or a glass of cava and some tapas from a bar stool at one of the restaurant counters in the market. Or you can shop and sample the food as you go. For food lovers, this place is a dream.

Desigual Italiano job

Posted on May 10, 2013 by angelvancouver

Okay, here’s the Desigual Italian ad. Not much different than the French and Spanish versions. It appears Desigual has edited the original ad, which included a single woman putting away her vibrator before going off to work. That version now is here.

Here’s the English ad:

And here’s the Desigual spring/summer 2013 promo video:

To see the extended, sexiest version, click here. It was filmed on the island of Ibiza, which is where Desigual started.

We ship worldwide. Here are some recent examples….

Posted on May 7, 2013 by angelvancouver
MooShirtYou may have read on this blog that we ship worldwide. Today, we’re including a few photos of some of our happy customers.
The first is a magician comedian who lives in Florida who goes by the name  Billy Bob Steinberg. His friend ordered him a surprise birthday present — a handpainted shirt with cow spots. He bills himself as the Moogician. Here’s his letter that I received this morning:
 
“Hiya Jackie,
Tanya gave me my birthday gift last night, and………….. WwwwwwwwwwoW!
This is the BEST ONE EVER, officially it’s my new favorite shirt!!!
You’ve done an awesome job (again), and wanted to Thank You!
Hope this finds your business doing well, I’m pursuing this new show direction, hoping to book it at fairs, festival, etc.
It’s been inspiring working on it, and the shirt gives me inspiration as well :-))
Thank You, and ALL THE BEST!
Sincerely,
“The Moogician” TM
(__)

We also recently shipped a Desigual “Pole” shirt to a man living in Florida. He had seen the shirt while in the Bahamas, tried it on but couldn’t find one in his size. He found us online (angelvancouver.com) and ordered one. We shipped it to him right away, in time for him to wear it on the weekend, where he got plenty of positive comments about the shirt.
And here’s a Norwegian man (below) who also bought a Desigual Pole shirt earlier this year — he took the photo at his home, and also another of him wearing a Desigual shirt from last fall that he bought from us.

norwegian.2And below are photos of some hand-painted shirts I recently did for a Vancouver couple who are going to Africa on a safari — they bought lion shirts for themselves and two kids shirts for the children of the couple who operate the safari camp (THE LAST TWO BELOW).
 
We also recently shipped an order to New Zealand. The shipping cost was under $20.

What they were wearing at a Berlin gallery opening this weekend

Posted on May 5, 2013 by angelvancouver

I love WWD for posting these street-style photos, showing what people are wearing at various events around the world. The latest is a gallery opening in Berlin. Looks like Berliners favour long coats and pants with the cuffs rolled up: Imageberlin2. Berlin.3. berlin4. berlin8. berlin9.berlin.5.berlin11berlin12 berlin7 berlin6.
