Name that Domain

Jan 7, 2007

I am not sure if I have mentioned it here, but I will be launching my handbag line VEL this year and hope to show with a local designer during New York Fashion Week in September. However, I have a dilemma -- I can't come up with a domain name! Unfortunately, the obvious, www.vel.com, is taken and the line surely warrants something grandeur than velonline.com, non?

So, in a desperate attempt to look good in print, I am reaching out for assistance. Help me pick a domain name for the VEL website.

And to make it worth your while and a bit of fun too, I'm having a contest. Help me NAME THAT DOMAIN and you too could win fame and fortune for a lifetime.

Ok maybe not fame...and probably not fortune...and it might not last you a lifetime, but hey...it's fun right? So help me out and you will be appreciated. Check all the info below and go NAME THAT DOMAIN!

The line is called VEL. Named after my maternal grandmother, Velma. The first collection will feature 4 different pieces - 2 clutches, a tote bag and a waistbag - that will utilize buttery soft cowhide leather and vintage kimono fabrics coupled with industrial detailing.

The line is not for the modest. Each piece will be over-oversized and only for women (and those men who rock it that way) who can walk into a room and command attention with just one click of their Blahnik's. Fun, funky and highly evolved -- you know who you are -- will be the woman of VEL.

But wait -- it doesn't stop with handbags.

Also on the VEL horizon is upscale, contemporary apparel and accessories for the fashionably discerning plus sized women. So when choosing a domain keep in mind that it must also apply to a line that carries more than just hangbags.

Deadline: January 15, 2007

The creative team at ParallelMVMT will help with the judging and a decision will be made by February 1, 2007.

So get those sexy red thinking caps on -- and go NAME THAT DOMAIN!

Trash Day

Nov 27, 2006

Trash Day at Chanel

At first glance, you might think these women are carrying trash bags. Well, they’re not. It’s the latest Chanel plastic carryall, about $1,000, with chain handles and a signature double-C charm. A few are in leather, and, one, below, is a rare satin one. The bag, first spotted in Paris last month, above, is the superstatus bag carried by shoppers on Madison and Fifth Avenues. There is a waiting list of months to buy one.
