London Calling…it’s Johnny Rotten.

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

Catapulting camelias, Batman! Chanel Ready to Wear is available at Maxfields’ L.A. (hey, YYC is ALL about Christian Bale….well, okay, not ‘The Mechanic’ Christian Bale….more the ‘American Psycho, Batman-esque Christian Bale—–Play Huey for me, Chris……) I digress. Although he could use a boucle cape…..

Okay, now that I’ve hosed myself off with cold water, I shall continue. Apparently, Karl L. has deemed Tommy worthy of stocking his tony shelves with CC fare and Los Angeles’ Edgy Fashion Mecca is now home to a collection of this season’s ‘07 prime.

One might presume that Karl’s affection for all things Chrome Hearts could play into this counter corporate decision (afterall, with one free standing CC Boutique on Rodeo Drive (thank you, Janet), one in Saks Wilshire Blvd (thank you, Sheila), and a limited selection at Neiman Marcus (thank you, God—I have enough on my Incircle card)–the area is hardly a vast wasteland barren of chain/leather strapped handbags and fantasy tweeds.

However, amidst all the Lainey, Libertine, Undercover, LGB, and occasional Lanvin/Dior–we are assuming that this will not be your granny’s assortment of Chanel.

Get the Bat phone out and call Deanna Youhanna–310. 274.8800.
Just think, Karl Lagerfeld, Boy Wonder.

Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of Rum (drink the rum first, you’ll need it when you see the price) as envisioned by Rosalina. Cap’n Jack is BACK.

Of course, we blame Johnny Depp and Alexander McQueen for perpetuating ‘ole Jolly Roger,. McQueens’ silk scarf has been a sellout at Retail (Check Maxfields, LA) for a few years. Maybe it’s time to let it Rest in Peace.

Thomas Wylde (a female designer who named her design line as a tribute to her Grandfather) is a staple favourite of Sienna Miller, et al. She has enough floor space at Harvey Nicks alone to merit mention.

Loree Rodkin does a full range of white gold, black diamond/white diamond baubles as a tribute to skeletal anatomy because you’re bound to get sick of the ‘Fleur de Lys’…..eventually.

Shelley Litvak has practically made a career of doeskin leather with skull and crossbone patches and stitched detailing–to the extent of giving some of her versions a patch over one eye–Shiver Me Wallet.

And, let’s not forget Libertine (Try though we may, is this a one trick Pony or what?). Once the mainstay of quirky adapted menswear—their prêt a porter targeted line is now featured in Barneys, Jeffrey, et al this past Fall adorned aplenty with crystal skulls as were their cashmere sweaters (hope Master Lucien Pellat-Finet is getting a cut of royalties here….)

A little Pirate action goes a long way. Har De Har. Walk the Plank.
