Here comes Christmas, here comes Christmas, it’s my favorite holiday!
I’ve been busily yet anticipatedly preparing for my trip, and finally I’m flying to Taichung (台中, Central Taiwan) in less than 48 hours woohoo!!!
To get myself into the early festive spirit, I paid my first visit to a snowless white Christmas market here in Hong Kong about 2 weeks ago. Please excuse me for not having the time to put up a blog post before I leave. But I promise I’ll give you a full review on White Christmas Str

I just eat it up when I land myself a vintage Stephen Burrows piece..  I just eat this label up.  LOVE isn’t even the correct word to use here.  Stephen Burrows, one of the most influential black designers in U.S. history, and the FIRST African American designer to become a household name…  He launched his company, landed a spread in VOGUE magazine and began selling his designs at the legendary New York boutique Henri Bendel.  Burrows dressed celebrities from Diana Ross, Bette Midler, Grace Jone

Several weeks ago a consignor dropped off Bill Blass An American Designer book for me to look at and between you and me I want to keep the book!!!  Everyone that has come intoDOUBLETAKE has enjoyed flipping through the book and looking at old photos of his brilliant designs.  This sexy red vintage 80s dress is so NOW it isn’t funny but then again it’s Bill Blass.  The Bill Blass label has always represented gracious  and sumptuous clothing: American chic, characterized by casual sophistication a

Everything about this Guy Laroche piece is magic and would you believe it came out of a flea market?  Yes a flea market where the world opens up to a new adventure to anyone that is curious…  This vintage Guy Laroche jumpsuit is so NOW so current it isn’t funny and to think it came from a  place that is all about recycling.  Flea markets, thrift stores, consignment boutiques, yard sales, estate sales etc etc all supply the consumer with an option to buy “green”, to buy something that is recycled

I just don’t know really where to begin here with this Stephen Burrows piece.  Actually I’m not sure how he showed this dress when he created it back in the day…  Did he show it as a “bat cape” where the panels are in the back of the dress or did he show this piece with the panels in front of the dress?  Either way you slice this, it’s gorgeous beyond words.  I’m actually loving showing it with the “bat cape” in back of the dress….  It really doesn’t matter because what does matter is the fact t

This is the first time I’ve written about Jean Louis so I’m very excited to share with you a little of his history.  Jean Louis was born in Paris France and moved to America to work in Hollywood where he dressed every major movie star on the planet and won an Academy Award of costume design.  For over 40 years, Jean Louis designed for every Hollywood actress such as: Lana Turner, Vivien Leigh, Joan Crawford, Julie Andrews, Katherine Hepburn, Judy Garland, Doris Day, Kim Novak, Marlene Dietrich a

I love anything vintage Halston IV but when it comes from Bonwit Teller you know I love it even more.. I love this 70s vintage Halston dress for 103 reasons but I’m to busy to list them all for you, you will just have to take my word for it… Bonwit Teller was a very high end department store that was founded by Paul Bonwit in 1895 in NYC. Sadly it is no longer with us… They carried only the very best brands like Beene, Courreges, Missoni, Pierre Cardin, Kenzo, Hermes, Ungaro and of course Halsto

New blog post “Everyone can be a Model (Part 2) – Watch Me on Stage: My Modeling Album & Video" NOW up on La Mode by GV Miao fashion blog:

I have written a lot from a reviewer’s perspective about The Original People Design (TOPd)’s signature ethnic exoticism featuring the vibrant colors of passion and unique bold prints by Hong Kong-based French-African designer Amina Lamarre Delafoulhouse (also read my previous post “African Fashion Show in Hong Kong: All Are Equal; All Are Welcome!”), but this

Scott Barrie is just one of my favorite designers that was gone way before his time….  Scott Barrie was an American fashion designer known for his sexy matte jersey dresses in the 60′s & 70′s and sadly died in 1993 at the age of 52.  Way to young!  He died of brain cancer which is tragic beyond words.  Scott Barrie, whose real name was Nelson Clyde Barr, was born in Apalachicola, FL of all places one of my favorite spots to go chill…  At the age of 10 he whipped up clothes from his grandmother’s

Can’t you just see Goldie Hawn wearing this 60′s Geoffrey Beene Beene Bazaar long flower pattern dress?  I sure can…  From the “Laugh In” days !  I love that the collar area and sleeve cuffs are polka dot pattern.  I LOVE that…  It has the original belt and this piece is so vintage it’s fabulous.  I would put my client in this vintage Beene piece with some Tom Ford or Alaia heels to bring it into today.  Love Geoffrey Beene but you would have to be from another planet not to…  I’m Daniel Troppy

This is my first piece of Koos Van Den Akker and yes that was the sound of a cherry popping!  I almost flipped when I saw this piece while I was strolling through a festival, yes a festival.  That’s just it you have no idea what you’ll find wherever you may be but I guarantee you’ll find it if you know what you are looking for…    Koos was born in The Hague, Netherlands and at a very early age taught himself how to sew.   His impressive portfolio allowed him to enroll at the age of 15 to the Roy

Here I go again with another fabulous vintage piece by one of America’s finest fashion designers that ever lived, Geoffrey Beene. This navy Beene Bazaar 60′s vintage dress with pockets and pleats on the back is just off the chart HOT. It’s timeless, it really is. This is just a true piece of fabulous deliciousness. I love polkadots and I love it when Geoffrey Beene did them ! This man in the 60′s 70′s 80′s dressed all the best dressed ladies in NYC & Hollywood not to mention all over the world.

This vintage red silk dress with a black border trim by Yeohlee is a piece of artwork.  Really just look at the collar…  Yeohlee Teng design is universal.  She believes that design comes from serving a function and is refined through time and process.  Yeohlee Teng moved to NYC from Malaysia to study at Parsons School of Design.  She launched YEOHLEE in 1981.  She is a master of design management and believes in the efficiency of year round seasonless clothes.  Yeohlee’s designs have earned a pe

The USA has made great strides on clean technology recently but it might surprise you to find that so has Bhutan, Iran, Norway, Nigeria & India. Bhutan is a tiny Himalyan nation that has pledged to become the first 100% ORGANIC NATION on Earth!!! Bhutan promotes a weekly “pedestrian day” in a effort to curb vehicle emissions. This tiny country has partnered with Nissan to slash fossil fuel imports and embrace electric cars. Iran by 2018 is targeting 5,000 megawatts of new wind & solar power. As

Last month, the Niels Bugge Cartoon Award asked illustrators and cartoonists from around the world to submit drawings based on a basis theme: climate.    I read this article in the green section of the Huffington Post and my jaw dropped because, these brilliant and talented artists hit it on the head….  Nailed it.   I LOVE this quote from the website: “Human beings, as all life on Earth, came from the stars and landed through the ocean,” the contest solicitation read.  ”Ocean is our very first f

I don’t have to tell anyone just how much I love vintage Bill Blass because anyone that just spent 10 seconds on The Thrifters site you would know that…  He was a legend.  This black silk vintage Bill Blass long blouse / tunic is so off the chain hot it’s not funny.  Bill Blass was a master of making the American woman look & feel glamorous, chic, sexy & empowered.  I will never pass up the chance to add another piece of vintage Bill Blass to DOUBLETAKE Recycled Luxury collection…   NEVER…  I’m

The label Suzy Perette is a very collectible one and the funny thing about the name is that there wasn’t an actual Suzy Perette.  It was just a made up name from a dress manufacturing company that wanted to make affordable versions of Parisian designs in the 50′s and the Suzy Perette silhouette was reminiscent of Dior and the famous “New Look.”  The continued making dresses up until the 70′s and you can still find Suzy Perette by Victor Costa from the 70′s.  When you see this label grab it….  I
