08SepOak ” Bondage ” Collection Available Today

Oak Manhattan is celebrating its first fall season in Manhattan, on Bond St., with the offering of an exlusive collection available beginning today.They requested a bevy of designers to create pieces inspired by the theme of “bondage” -kinky. The concept was interpreted by Filippa K, Obesity and Speed, Hood by Air, Complex Geometries and all the others listed on the flier. Although you are back and forth to fashion shows you must make an effort -the looks are only available online and at the Bond St. store Sept. 8-11th.

08SepAlexandre Herchcovitch Spring / Summer 2009

Ruffles are obviously making an inescapable presence on the runway but thus far I’ve seen no one apply the effect to the area ‘down there’…except here. I’m going to just pretend this was a joke and move on -I considered yelling from my seat “I know a woman who can wax that!” Fashion (and to Alexandre Herchcovitch I refer not) can be ridic. I found pleasure in these looks…

07SepNew York Fashion Week Arrives

Neglect is such a dirty word but this week you may see some of it from us (much like last week). Advanced apologies. The Army of M.E. are collectively like chickens without heads -between sending kids to school and dealing with all the fashion week shows and parties there’s hardly any time to sleep let alone write on here but we promise to do our best. Much like fashion week in NY last year at this time, it’s been a sweaty affair thus far. However, yesterday’s awfully drab rain cleared way for today’s perfect weather sans the humidity. We’re not going to bore you with the dronings of our affairs and front row seats, it just seems silly -we sometimes feel silly being there. Plus, we realized after seeing 30 seconds of that Rachel Zoe reality TV show preview how incredibly disgusting it is to listen to/read other people gushing over inaccessable clothes. It makes you feel like you need to shower, or vomit -there’s just no way to not sound completely pretensious or utterly stupid when doing so. We were always more about Paris when it came to fashion weeks but thus far we’ve seen some really great looks which we will share with you. What we do love about NY is that what we see on the runway is translatable to the street/our bodies -we know, that’s the very thing that makes it more ‘boring’ than Europe shows but it’s the practicality in us. It’s all about the inspiration of it all…the next thing, a vision of spring via clothing. It’s lovely, it’s artistic and it’s fun -no harm in any of that. But we’re a little more pre-occupied with the current presidential election so while we see you at the parties, we’ll likely have a political agenda. Here’s the most stylish member of The Army of M.E. on her first day of pre-school striking a pose -we taught her well…

02SepOpening In London Tomorrow: Spin

As we frantically try and make sense of our fashion week schedules on this side of the pond, London is hosting an amazing exhibit at the London College of Fashion. The art gallery at the school is hosting an exhibit which opens tomorrow called Spin. It features artwork by alumnus, and an Army of M.E. Own Personal Jesus, Peter Saville, as well as other alums Faris Rotter and Dylan Jones. The exhibition will explore the relationship between design, art and music. According to Saville, “Between the Fifties and Eighties, before style magazines, MTV and the internet, the record cover was the primary visual communication between young people around the world.” Saville’s covers happen to be some of our favorites for some of our favorite musicians. Pictured here is New Order’s Blue Monday album cover. For those crossing the pond for LFW, Spin: The Art of Cover Design is on from 3. Sept - 3. Oct. at the Arts Gallery, 65 Davies St., W1K 5DA

29AugThe Best Barack Obama Tees : Support In Style

What can I say, I woke up this morning feeling different as a result of Obama’s speech last night. I was already enamored with him, but that speech -there’s no words. The Army of M.E. has begun a blog on Obama’s site and we are working on organizing fundraising events around NYC which we will inform you of in the future. Meanwhile, you can show your support by rocking a cool Obama tee from this great website we stumbled upon and they have the coolest Obama tees we’ve seen at a fraction of the price! Click Democratic Stuff to go to the site and purchase yours. We’re just having a hard time deciding which ones to get! The tees are only $16.50 (usually go for $25), the totes are only $13 and the last photo is of a pin which is $1. Click HERE for the page with the Obama tees.

We also love these designs from Shepard Fairey -we found similar versions HERE -they were originally from Upper Playground but they’re no longer there which we find dumb of them.

Also, hit up the Obama official website HERE where you can order a bevy of items including packs of items that you can hand out to friends…or strangers.
