Out of Office: Charlotte Olympia at Art Basel Miami Beach

Posted 12.12.12 by Jean Scheidnes

What better way to marry art and fashion than to paint art onto fashion? Charlotte Olympia shoe designer Charlotte Dellal came to NM Bal Harbour during Art Basel Miami Beach, and jumped into the art scene by doing just that, creating limited edition shoes just for the store. The charming London resident documented her Miami trip in these snapshots, captioned in her own words.

A model, a muse… a best friend. Jason Wu‘s favorite gal pal is none other than supermodel and NM favorite Karlie Kloss. For his Resort handbag collection the designer turned to who else but his beautiful BFF for design inspiration. After all, what are friends for? Like Karlie the catwalk queen, Karlie the clutch is lively, lovable and mesmerizing to look at—proving to be the ultimate sidekick for any glamorous night out.

In Detail: Balenciaga Rose Gold Hardware

Balenciaga‘s motorcycle handbag secured “it” bag status in 2000 and hasn’t let go. Its signature slouchy shape, supple leather and metal hardware make the tote one of the most iconic accessories on the market today.

Starting in the Spring the legendary label will bring back hardware in gold and retire rose gold. Therefore, if you’re drawn to the allure of the gold and copper alloy, now is the time to invest. With rose gold phasing out this season, and with designer Nicolas Ghesquiere stepping down, this may be your last chance to snag this specific style from the century-old house.

Conversation With: Four Holiday 24 Designers

Posted 11.26.12 by Jean Scheidnes

Out of NM’s epic partnership with Target come more than 50 terrific gifts by 24 of today’s top American designers. They’re a crafty crew of CFDA members and visionaries who love the holidays as much as we do. Here, get to know four of the designers—Stacey Bendet of Alice + Olivia, Joseph Altuzarra, Brian Atwood and Robert Rodriguez—and get ready to shop their #Holiday24 gifts on Dec. 1 at Target and Neiman Marcus stores and online.

Alice + Olivia Luggage

NM: What inspired you to make this piece?

Stacey Bendet: I travel around the world and I am always hunting for unique luggage! I wanted something fun and graphic, and so I went with my signature stripe! Bold, yet classic.

NM: What would make this piece the perfect gift?

Stacey: Guys, listen up here.  Give this to your girlfriend with tickets for a romantic getaway somewhere.  That would get a serious A+!

NM: What particular detail do you love the most on the item you made?

Joseph Altuzarra: To produce the tumblers and shaker, we used an old manufacturing technique called “pressed glass” where the glass is molded into a diamond lattice pattern. The diamond pattern is then gilded in gold to highlight the intricacies and the texture of the pattern. I also love the high gloss lacquer finish on the tray and the brass inlayed hinges, which I think feels very French.

 

Brian Atwood Leather Gloves

NM: What inspired you to make this piece?

Brian Atwood: I was inspired by old Hollywood glamour and loved mixing materials to give it just the right amount of edge.

NM: What would make this piece the perfect gift?

Brian: It’s always about a bold statement for me and these are the perfect little “me” gift.

 

Robert Rodriguez Lace Dress

NM: Where do you see someone wearing this piece?

Robert Rodriguez: Since it is the perfect holiday dress, I can see someone turning heads in this at a fabulous cocktail party. I love the lace scallop around the top and bottom of the dress. It is a little detail that adds a lot of sophistication.
