Lena Quist

If you haven't heard about Lena Quist, it's about time you do.

Lena sells all kinds of fabulous and outrageous clothing...which is right up my alley!
You can check out here Etsy shop and see all of her lovely creations, like these

Lace Up, Stay Ups

or these Lightning Leggings

and how about these studded and chain fringed shoulder pads
A lot of her stuff has glam rock style to it, and is definitely for those who aren't afraid to be a little grandiose.
For those of you who are fans of Kat Von D, she was recently spotted in a pair of Lena Quist silver cross leggings (which are available here).
Having the typical college-student budget, these are a little out of my price range, but if you're like me you can always save up, add them to your Etsy favorites for later, or just covet from afar. Either way, Lena is sure to be one of the next big brands in alternative fashion.
...and if you don't know, now you know.

Galleria-T

LAUNCHING JANUARY 9TH 2011
www.galleria-t.com
Created by London born, Milan based
Eric Christopher Hall.

With over a decade of experience working for some of the worlds biggest fashion houses, Eric has achieved a lifelong ambition of going it alone and channeling all of his creativity and vision into the development of the Galleria-T brand.

The whole concept of Galleria-T is about creating and exhibiting beautiful pieces of unique wearable art, ‘where the clothing is the canvas.’

All of the Galleria-T artwork has been meticulously selected and commissioned in collaboration with a handpicked selection of International Illustrators, Graphic Designers, Photographers, Fashion Stylists, Musicians, and others working within the Fashion and Creative Media industries.

Each Galleria-T garment has been ethically produced and printed in the USA, and is certified ‘Sweatshop Free’

Each item features a print which is incredibly light, the colours are luminously vibrant, and the texture of the ink soft to touch.

The production of our apparel incorporates a special hybrid style of printing in which a discharge underbase is used with an especially soft ink which is then applied over the top.

This creates a strong print with bright colours while keeping the printing really soft (even on the darker coloured garments).

Galleria-T will be releasing small capsule collections on a regular basis, not following the usual trend of releasing pieces according to the season, therefore there will always be an almost constant flow of new products available in our online store, and also eventually in selected independent boutiques Worldwide.
