In The Ezine

Corey Parks I Hate Your Band Jacket

London Calling…it’s Johnny Rotten.

Corey Parks Jacket from Maxfields

From Fashion Mecca MAXFIELD’S in LA (Call Deanna and BEG) 310.274-8800; Corey Park’s Rock N Roll Tribute Jacket.

Embellishments on the Corey Parks jacket

Corey designed her own line carried by the Upscale Hollywood Retailer (check out the Melrose “gallery”…..but lock your wallet in the glove box) following a career with Nashville Pus*y.

Embellishing fashion–and yes, her Rock Royalty items have been sported for global gigs by AC/DC and Mick of the Stones–from tailored elements a la Libertine, these one of a kind specialty threads range from $2K UP.

Buy one for your Roadie.

Life, Libertine and the Pursuit of Happiness…

Behold, in the never ending quest to bring Fashion’s Best to You:

A smattering of the fare from Libertine’s designers Johnson Hartig and Cindy Greene with Chain store: Target.

Essentials:

Libertine for Target scarf
We love the black and white graphic scarf ($16.99)

Libertine for Target red striped jacket and blouse with bow
Red striped jacket with signature lining ($34.99)

Trio of Libertine for Target tanks
Silk Screened ‘bird’ layering tank $16.99 (as seen, their Main Line fare is $225 PLUS)

We weren’t ecstatic about the retro dress in black with Ivory neckline embellishment –the self belt and tailoring made it look, well, cheap. Which it is, but that’s not the point.

The Jackets in general seemed to be the mainstay bet:

Libertine for Target ruffled jacket and Libertine skull jacket from Jeffrey

Back of the ruffled Libertine for Target ruffled jacket and Libertine skull jacket from Jeffrey, NY

Black with black/clear crystals and front cufflink closure and ruffled detailing and
Khaki Cotton with silk screen bird print:

Libertine for Target cotton jacket with silkscreened bird with Libertine jacket from Jeffrey

cotton jackets by Libertine from Jeffrey, NY and Target

They mimic the signature line–in fact we’ve taken the….ahem…..’Liberty’ of shooting them with their Uptown Cousins….both from Jeffrey, New York (OUCH).

Caution: These Target options do all seem to run small. That said, fun way to add a dash of LA chic into your closet without blowing your budget. Use sparingly or contents may explode on visual impact.

Devi Kroell for Target

Hollywood Hottie without the HILTON HEIR ‘Budget?’ (on the bright side, if you behave yourself, you don’t have to go to jail…..)

Devi Kroell aka Handbag maven (and CFDA winner) for the too, too Tony set is collaborating with Target to produce her edgy chic handbags (ostensibly in a much cheaper material than lizard or python) for the masses. That means the rest of us.

Devi Kroell large size Roman tote in coppery gold metallic python

Featured fare at Barneys New York (Soon to be: Barneys Tokyo -OR DUBAI –play nice boys) as well as fashion ICON hub - Jeffrey New York (call Leslie Scott: 404-841-0215) you can do it Deluxe…OR save that extra $2500 for something else and still sport a genuine article.

Devi Kroell Roman totes in blue python and pink lizard metallic

We love her multi-coloured snake totes (available in two sizes), sweet fuschia lizard metallic, and the BIG copper-gold is 14 karat fun. Prices at Target for the range of clutches to Totes begin at 19.99 and end at $49.00. Buy a few since you’ll already be there trolling for Libertine. Premieres: 15 July (this Sunday).
