CITY Issue 59

/// ACTION Fashionista Crocs COLLABORATION: ZAHA HADID & MELISSA Zaha Hadid took 30 years of architectural experience and applied it to smaller forms and proportions in her ﬁrst footwear collaboration with the Brazilian brand, Melissa. Hadid’s design, which consisted of no closures or seals, ﬁt well with Melissa, as the company makes its shoes solely of moldable plastic. But don’t worry, the leading lady of architecture hasn’t turned to fashion for good — she’s still designing structural wonders, and is currently working on the London Aquatic Centre, which will be built just in time for the 2012 Olympics. Available now in black, pink, and white at Opening Ceremony in New York and Dover Street Market in London for $350. — RL ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Jet Lag Relief BEAUTY: MY BLEND Living the jet-set life may seem fantastic, but those constantly on the go know that shufﬂing around the world in cramped airplane seats is less than glamorous, especially when the pressurized cabin leaves your skin looking and feeling like the back end of the Sahara. Fortunately, My Blend — the personalized skincare brand from Dr. Olivier Courtin, son of the founders of Clarin — has created Anti-Jet Lag Relief as part of the company’s emergency booster line. Designed to rescue, revive, and comfort, the serum, when blended with a daily moisturizer, contains concentrated actives targeted at ridding your skin of toxins and reviving it to its natural (pre-ﬂight) radiance. Now, if only they could do something about those tiny seats. Available at Saks Fifth Avenue, $45. — DELIA PAUNESCU HEARD HA YOU VE ? THAT DIOR BEAUTY HAS HIRED HARLEY VIERA-NEWTON AS ITS HOUSE DJ TO CREATE PLAYLISTS INSPIRED BY THE COMPANY'S SEASONAL COLOR COLLECTIONS? Breaking the Mold FASHION: PLASTER AND PASTE Not every man can look like a Greco-Roman statue. But swathed in shirts, pants, jackets and tees from Plaster and Paste, guys can look good even without the muscle. Based out of Brooklyn, the diverse line of contemporary clothing actually consists of two lines — Plaster and Paste. Plaster features reﬁned and classic looks with playful quirks, while Paste boasts hip T-shirts adorned with humorous, hand-printed graphics. Founder Jason Laurits, a rocker turned writer turned fashion designer, initially made only silk-screen T-shirts, but he eventually created Plaster in order to work on more traditional menswear. This season, keep an eye out for the company’s Russian Sailor pants. All of the items are striking enough to leave even chiseled chaps stone faced with envy. Plaster and Paste are available in progressive boutiques throughout the country. — JENNIFER WRIGHT /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 20 CITY TY
