World’s tallest models: Five-storey-high women painted on Desigual store in Manhattan

Desigual has released a new video showing artists painting models wearing new spring-summer 2013 clothes on the outside of Desigual’s store in Manhattan. Once finished, the models tower five-storeys high over those walking by on the street.

The models are from Desigual’s “lookbook” catalogue for  the spring-summer 2013 collection, which we carry at our Angel Vancouver store, located on the west coast of Canada. Our second spring shipment  just arrived this week, so stay tuned for more pix.

Here’s the mural that was painted over on the building:

A break from commercialism: The Stranglers videos… Golden Brown, Always the Sun, Skin Deep; plus Patti Smith, Springsteen & Neil Young

We’re taking a break from commercialism today to bring you a video of Golden Brown by The Stranglers, a favourite late ’70s to early ’80s British band that opened for the first British tours of American punks The Ramones and Patti Smith. We called it New Wave, but they arose from the punk scene.

Guitarist-vocalist Hugh Cornwall said of the song: The lyrics were about heroin and a girl of Mediterranian origin — her skin was golden brown.

Here is another of their songs, Always the Sun: 

And here’s two versions of another, European Female:

And the last song, Skin Deep:

This Patti Smith song, Because the Night, was co-written in 1978 with Bruce Springsteen:

Here’s Patti’s version:

Here’s a more recent version by Patti:

My daughter recently went to New York and saw Patti relaxing on the beach. You have to know where the beach is….

And here’s Patti & Neil Young singing Helpless:

Platform shoes making a comeback?

platform.barcelona.wwdPlatform shoes seem to be making a comeback in Barcelona, looking at the latest photos posted on the WWD website.

They were also seen recently on the streets of Tokyo during fashion week there.

Or maybe platforms never really died off — somewhere in the world, another group is trying to revive the style.

After all, it was the ancient Greeks who first wore platform shoes on the stage to raise the importance of the star characters. But for some, they are the ultimate symbol of the disco era of the 1970s.

Here is Deee-Lite singing Groove is in the Heart:

Lady.Miss.Kier.wearing.Fluevog.Munster.platforms

Last year, John Fluevog shoes, which is located a block down the street, re-issued these Munster platforms (seen above worn by Lady Miss Kier of the band Deee-Lite) to celebrate Fluevog’s 40th anniversary.
Did you know Fluevog started his first store at No. 2 Powell in Vancouver, Canada, which is now the location of my store, Angel Vancouver?
Angel now carries the Desigual brand of clothing from Barcelona, which looks good with platforms. We also specialize in custom hand-painted clothing. Call (604) 681-0947 or email me at jackie@angelpaint.com
