Tina Chow's Iconic Kyoto Bracelet is Now On Sale at Rare Vintage

To own something designed by '80s icon Tina Chow would be a pretty huge coup. Now New York couture boutique Rare Vintage has made that possible: The store's passionate owner, Juliana Cairone, recently purchased a collection of Tina Chow-designed jewelry. The first item revealed is this Kyoto bangle, with seven rose quartz pebbles hidden inside the basket woven bamboo. It's signed by Chow as well as Shouchikudou Kosuge, a master bamboo craftsman who created the outer layer of this piece. The price? Upon request, unsurprisingly. If you're interested in purchasing, give Rare Vintage a ring on 212-581-7273 or email info@rarevintage.com.

Lutz & Patmos Reveal Their Final Project: A Guest Designer E-Shop

Tina Lutz and Marcia Patmos might be going their separate ways, but not without one last hurrah. Today, the knitwear duo opened an e-shop devoted to limited edition pieces created by their friends--designers, creatives, actors--over the last ten years. Remember the Jane Birkin-designed dress? Or the Kirsten Dunst-envisioned Omi & Opi mini? We do. And we're particularly thrilled that our fashion idol Sofia Coppola's belted crewneck is there. We've been eyeing it since 2005, when it first hit stores. The nicest thing about buying Julianne Moore's cardigan? A small portion of the proceeds will go to the charity of her choice.
