Welcome to LimoLand

LimoLand in the Meatpacking District LimoLand in the Meatpacking District

Beginning as the brainchild of international art collector and photographer Johnny Piagozzi, LimoLand is a hybrid of color, influence from Tanzanian art (that quirky logo), and sportwear shapes. After appearing in Colette and Dover Street Market, LimoLand is making a permanent appearance in the U.S. with the opening of its first free-standing store in the Meatpacking District across from The Standard. The store, staffed by friendly faces and decorated with furry grass, is chock full of vibrant menswear. Electric yellow pima polos, silk lined hoodies, printed swim trunks and reversible down outwear all come in shocking shades, perfect for a man who doesn't get lost in a sea of black and grey in the city. Chic Report forsees some ladies swiping these bright separates from their counterpart's closets...

Fragile Kicks

Take a close look at these sneaks. Something seems a bit off, non? At first glance the kicks look as if they’ve gone through their fair share of wear and tear. Look again. The tennis shoes created by Cyril Hatt are actually made entirely from printed paper. We’re not sure if we’re ready to test these on the streets of New York (at least not without a Tetanus shot beforehand!), but this does take eco-chic to a new level.

There are a few iconic beauties who never really get old (Brigitte, Marilyn, Grace). Well, Sophia Loren also makes the list. The hair, the cat-eyes, the pillowy lips--all deserve to be plastered everywhere, and this includes jersey tee shirts. Pagano went with bigger is better in their rendition of Sophia's lovely visage, and we think the result is nothing short of stunning.  THE DETAILS: LuisaViaRoma, $126.50

No need to agonize the next time it thunderstorms the day of your big presentation or blind date; this creation by Davek is the sturdiest umbrella we've seen yet. Even if the sky looks ominous, chin up, darlings! Your disposition will be sweet and cheery (and not a hair out of place) when you're safe under the umbrella.

Rock Down to Organic Avenue

Remember when Beyonce's maple syrup detox diet was all the rage? Well, now the fashion set can experience a more healthful, nutrient-rich approach to the cleanse via Organic Avenue. The celeb-endorsed product (we've heard Gwyneth raves!) will be in the Restaurant Associates Bar at Lincoln Center during Fashion Week. Organic Avenue will offer working models and fashion influencers the chance to experience a “Fashionista” cleanse, a special cleanse of raw, organic, vegan juices that can be pre-ordered and picked up at the pop-up location. What's the fare, you ask? Soups, organic smoothies and juices. Or try the LOVE* cleanse, a 3 to 5 day cleansing which focuses on liquid meals only. Now the only problem is, how do we stay away from the wandering platters of hors d’oeuvres...

Forget the Popcorn

The weather looks supremely promising this weekend, and the Met’s popular Summer HD Festival returns on August 28 with free screenings at Lincoln Center Plaza of ten productions from the company’s “Live in HD” series. 2,800 spots are available each night, so hurry, loves, to stake out prime seating. Instead of stale popcorn, pick up a much more luxurious movie snack; Bar Boulud is offering a three-course pique-nique for $19 each. Chilled gazpacho, your choice of a delectable sandwich and a fruit tart sounds positively delish. No artificial butter necessary! Visit Daniel NYC for more information.
