Project Runway finalist Mila Hermanovski designs a collection of fingerless gloves
Posted on | July 11, 2010 | No Comments
You may know her from Season 7 of Project Runway when MILA HERMANOVSKI placed in the top three and showed a 10 piece Fall 2010 collection at Mercedes-Benz NY Fashion Week.
A native of Dallas, TX, the 40-year-old Mila Hermanovski works as a costumer for TV and film, as well as a personal stylist. She discovered her love of fashion at an early age, eventually pursuing that dream. She studied apparel design in college, getting her education at Rhode Island School of Design. She later underwent an internship in the UK for designer Val Piriou.
Soon, Mila Hermanovski found a job as an assistant designer for Calvin Klein and an associate at a fashion trend-forecasting publication. Her designs have been influenced by modern art and even music, which contribute to the feisty elements of her style.
Mila has now designed a line of unique leather fingerless gloves. The collection is called REVOLVER.
“Two of my favorite accessories are gloves and rings. The only problem is that you can’t wear both simultaneously. I designed the “revolver” glove with this conundrum in mind. It’s named for the iconic gun shape the asymmetric line of the glove on the back of the hand form with the thumb and index finger.
They look just as great peeking out the sleeve of a jacket as they do with a t-shirt or a little party dress.” remarks Project Runway’s Mila.
The gloves retail for $175 up to $250 and are available for purchase on her blog Brave New Frock.
They can be worn year round and add that touch of style to any outfit. Add a coat of Minx polish on your nails and you are ready to go.
The gloves are made from incredibly soft, supple, buttery leathers. The single finger “revolver” glove has a metal side zip and is finished with a thin piping along top and bottom edges. Edges of fingers are cut. Undersides on all gloves are black nappa; they are unlined.
Size small is approximately glove size 6.5-7; medium, 7.5; large, 8. These are women’s sizes (large can fit a small man’s hand); for smaller or larger sizes,
Custom orders are available. Allow 7-10 days for delivery.
Black Perforated - $175.
White Perforated - $175.
Aubergine - $175.
Ivory - $175
Black Patent - $175.
Bronze Metallic - $175.

Miley Cyrus Can’t Be Tamed: Get Miley’s rockstar leather look for less
Posted on | June 28, 2010 | 1 Comment
Miley Cyrus has announced that she “Can’t Be Tamed” and her new leather clad looks are causing fans to take notice. Miley is out to shed her Hannah Montana good girl image and show that she is a mature star with a rocker side. Recently, Miley’s celebrity stylist Simone Harouche commented on the cover of her newly released album saying “I think the album cover was a strong statement saying in the most simple way that she can’t be tamed literally and metaphorically. She’s growing up, getting older, doing her own thing, and she’s in control now. The outfit we chose for the cover represented that.”
“She is really into leather and Robin’s Jean’s leather jacket is such a cool staple piece,” says Harouche. “It’s embellished without being overly done and the fit is amazing. It’s the perfect example of rock-and-roll clothing.”
For the cover of the album 17 year old Miley is wearing a laced-up midriff corset top, a Robin’s Jean black leather jacket costing $1,045 and low-rise matching $825 studded leggings. Her look is inspired by rockstars such as Joan Jett and Blondie. The hair is left in messy loose waves.

Get Rihanna’s “Rockstar 101″ jewelry designed by Fannie Schiavoni
Posted on | June 21, 2010 | No Comments
Pop singing sensation RIHANNA has turned from a little girl growing up in Barbardos to an American fashion icon. When it comes to her music and her fashion she is fearless, never afraid to step out of bounds and push the limits. She has choreographed a life that has landed her on People Magazine’s list of 10 Best Dressed Stars of 2008. Last year Rihanna ranked number seventeen on Glamour Magazine’s 50 Most Glamorous Women of 2009. This Grammy winning artist has graced the covers of numerous fashion magazines both in the US and internationally including the July 2010 issue of Elle.
(RIHANNA GRACES THE JULY COVER OF ELLE MAGAZINE – THE FASHION BREAKDOWN)
The celebrity and editorial stylist who has guided Rihanna in her sartorial choices is Mariel Haenn. When it comes to collaborating with the pop diva “It’s all about being edgy and pushing the envelope.” Mariel remarked.
In her recent music video titled Rockstar 101, which premiered on May 25, 2010, Rihanna called upon London-based Swedish designer Fannie Schiavoni to custom design some exclusive pieces for her to wear over black body paint. In a total of eight different scenes she is seen wrapped in heavy metal body chains. When asked about working with Rihanna on the Rockstar 101 video Schiavoni said “I discussed ideas with Rihanna and her stylist Mariel Haenn the day before the shoot and then I went to my hotel in LA and made everything that night. The next day was the video shoot and I literally chained Rihanna into everything piece by piece. It could have been awkward seeing she was almost naked when I fitted her, but Rihanna was really cool and relaxed about it all so we just had fun with it.”
Born in Sweden, Fannie Schiavoni moved to London when she was 18 to study tailoring. She later progressed to the BA Fashion Design Technology course at London College of Fashion and did a number of internships alongside her studies for designers such as Hussein Chalayan, Giles Deacon and Julien Macdonald.
Her background in tailoring created a passion for handcraft and attention to detail. This is reflected in her accessories pieces, which are hand crafted and constructed by Fannie in her London studio.
Recently she was awarded the NEWGEN sponsorship from the British Fashion Council for her work. This honor includes a studio and space at London Fashion week, as well as entry to both Paris and New York Fashion Week.
Taking notice of this emerging designer Barneys NY has purchased pieces from Fannie’s Autumn/Winter 2010 collection. The chains retail from about $200 up to $375. Barneys flagship store is located at 660 Madison Avenue.
The collection can also be purchased online at the following retailers:
