Fashion Feed Finds: 05/06/08

Time for another round:

The Rogan for GO International preview is up, and...eh. From a design angle, it's a flop. Mostly basics with some tarty animal prints (the styling doesn't help--it's overkill to pair that mini with a braless tank & heels). The good news is the line's 100% organic, which means we'll get organic basics for Target prices.

Also up is the preview for alice + olivia's FW08 Payless line, and I love it. Shiny monster booties! I'd buy these just to wear them around the house and stand over my roommates (I am 5'4" and bitter). The price is nice, too.

Sources: I am Fashion (YSL SS08); fashionologie (Rinko Kikuchi); Kingdom of Style (Vika Gazinskaya).

Alas, I sort of love the helmet haircut, aka "the Moe." Not on my head, but I admire those that can pull it off. It's simple yet aggressive. I especially love Rinko Kikuchi (middle) in it; she has an impish approach to fashion that I find inspiringly brave (considering the Fug Girls and Ryan Seacrests of the world).

Finally, Trendinista has a lovely feature on the "drip" trend. My favorite find were these Anna ter Haar "dripping tar" sunglasses.

Also:
