ALIX of BOHEMIA

BOHEMIANS: S IN TULUM

2012-02-20T11:23:00.000-08:00

WE HAVE SEEN HER BEFORE AS A BLUSHING BRIDE, AND NOW SUSI EMERGES FROM THE MEXICAN NIGHT, ONCE MORE A VISION IN WHITE. MADE FROM TEXTURED COTTON VOILE, THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA COCO FRIDA DRESS TAKES HER NAME FROM THE MOST OBVIOUS SOURCES (THE KAHLO AND MADAME CC HERSELF) WITH HER MEXICAN LACE YOLK, KICKING RUFFLE AND SWEET SLITTED SLEEVES.

FOR HOLIDAY MAKERS ONLY; SHE'S ONE OF A KIND, JUST LIKE SUSANNA, WHO WEARS HER CUSTOM WITH AN ALIX OF BOHEMIA BUNNY BELT.

WE LOVE TULUM, AND S WEARING OUR DRESS. CAN YOU SEE THE TINY BUTTONS ON THE NECK?

THIS IS CUSTOM STUFF, BUT IF YOU'RE IN LOVE WE CAN WORK YOU OVER SOMETHING SIMILAR. SAY HOLA.

WEEKEND RELICS

2012-02-14T12:27:00.002-08:00

WE LIVE HERE TOO AND WE LIKE IT: KATRINA PHILLIPS

2012-02-01T12:09:00.000-08:00

ITS BEEN CALLED 'THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SHOP IN LONDON' AND ITS PRETTY EASY TO SEE WHY. WITH HER INCREDIBLE EYE FOR HUMBLE ANTIQUES AND SUBLIME OBJETS, BOTH NATURAL AND MADE, KATRINA'S SHOP IS AS ORGANIC AND ECLECTIC AS THE CRYSTALS AND CANDLES WHICH SHE STOCKS. AND SO WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE ALIX OF BOHEMIA STOCKED HERE; NAMELY

THE CAMELIA BLOUSE.

A PEEK INSIDE MS. PHILLIPS WORLD:

ABOVE, THE MOST FABULOUS FLOOR, LAID BY KATRINA'S DAD IN THE 1960'S.

GIANT CLAMSHELL FOSSILS, MARBLE TRAYS AND BUDDHA, BELOW

GEORGIAN SOFAS, SHELL GARLANDS, A STATUE AND PAINTINGS BY PHILLIPE BONNET:

THE MOST DIVINE NUBIAN WHO ONCE HELD UP A LIGHT ON THE RIVER SEINE IN THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1855 IN PARIS:

THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA CAMELIA BLOUSES HANG FROM A FANTASTICAL MIRROR:

KATRINA SAYS "THIS IS NOT A NORMAL SHOP YOU KNOW",

INDEED, ITS MUCH MUCH BETTER (AND SMELLS DELICIOUS).

COME AND SEE US AT 99 PORTOBELLO RD. KATRINA WILL AMUSE AND DELIGHT YOU; WE'VE DECIDED WE WOULD LIKE TO GET MARRIED TO HER IF IT MEANS WE CAN STAY.

RUNNING WITH SCISSORS

2012-01-24T23:22:00.000-08:00

THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING SAW MISS MIDNIGHT OVER HERE HACKING INTO CLOTHES, MIDDLE SCHOOL STYLE. OUR LOVE OF BRETON KNOWS NO BOUNDS, (LOOK HERE) BUT SUDDENLY A CLASSIC ST JAMES WAS BEGGING FOR A FOR A LACE DOWN THE FRONT.

THERE WAS NO ONE TO YELL AT US FOR DESTROYING OUR CLOTHES THIS TIME AROUND, (EVERYONE WAS ASLEEP), SO WE MARKED THAT SUCKER UP AND WENT TO TOWN. WE STRUNG THAT THING UP WITH PIPING STRING (NO SHOELACES ABOUT, APPARENTLY) AND ITS KIND OF DOING IT FOR US.
IT FEELS LIKE A VERY HUMBLE HOMAGE TO ORIGINAL PUNK MS. WESTWOOD, AND NOW OUR BRETON DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ITS TRYING TO EAT OUR NECK. SWEET SUCCESS.

COOKIE MONSTERS

2012-01-23T11:18:00.000-08:00

THOUGH WE NO LONGER LIVE IN HONG KONG WHERE CHINESE NEW YEAR SEES PROPER CELEBRATION (DANCING IN THE STREET, CHAMPIONSHIP DUMPLING EATING, MONEY HAND-OUTS), WE STILL CELEBRATED WITH A (MSG LADEN?) WUNDERBAR DINNER AND ENDED UP WITH A VERY PROMISING FORTUNE INDEED.

HAPPY YEAR OF THE DRAGON, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT. WE'RE HOPING FOR MANY REVELATIONS AND ADVENTURES THIS YEAR TO COME.

MOVING HOUSE

2012-01-17T23:30:00.000-08:00

SO WE'VE WORKED OUR LITTLE FINGERS TO THE BONE, BUT ITS OFFICIAL: THERES A HIPPIE IN HARRODS NOW, WE WERE INVITED, WE DIDN'T EVEN CRASH THE PARTY. GO SAY HELLO ON THE 4TH FLOOR AT THE 9LONDON CORNER.

WE'RE ALSO AT THE DIVINE KATRINA PHILLIPS IN NOTTING HILL AND AT LOVELY EMILY EVANS BOUTIQUE IN SLOANE SQUARE.

THIS WEEK HAS SEEN ALIX OF BOHEMIA BEING STOCKED AT SOME PRETTY HEAVY REAL ESTATE; WE'LL TAKE A TEPEE IN ANY OF THOSE POSTCODES HAPPILY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

FOR THIS MOST RECENT WORK, WE EXPLORED WHITE ON WHITE TEXTURE, AND KEPT THE STORY SIMPLE, TURQUOISE, YELLOW WITH A DASH OF CORAL AND FUSCHIA. ITS ALL A RIFF ON THE OLD FAVOURITE CAMELIA, IN ALL HER GATHERED GLORY.

LA FAMIGLIA

2012-01-15T13:07:00.000-08:00

FRANKLY WE'RE SPOILED FOR CHOICE WHEN IT COMES TO THE IMAGES BEN TOOK OF DOODLE, THE MINX, LOLO AND ME AND THE PUPPIES OVER CHRISTMAS. WE CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT THEM, LET ALONE CHOOSE OUR FAVOURITES. WE LOVE THAT THE SETTING APPEARS AS AN ECLECTIC WONDERLAND, THOUGH ITS ACTUALLY THE HOUSE WE GREW UP IN, TAXIDERMY, TSAR, PRAYER FLAGS AND ALL.

BELOW, A SMATTERING OF OUR CURRENT FAVOURITES.

ALL IMAGES COURTESY OF MBV PHOTOGRAPHY. GO AND SAY HELLO TO THE SWEET THING AND PERUSE HER SUBLIME WORK HERE.

TOGS ARE ALIX OF BOHEMIA, MIXED WITH VINTAGE AND BITS FROM HERE AND THERE (THE MINX MADE THE BOW TIES). SAY HELLO OR ASK A QUESTION TO US HERE.

WHITEOUT

2012-01-13T10:30:00.000-08:00

IT MUST BE THE LACK OF SNOW IN LONDON THATS CAUSING GENUINE WINTER NOSTALGIA, INSPIRING OUR PALATE OF PAPER WHITES WITH NUBBY BITS AND STRIPES, ACCENTED WITH MEXICAN LACE.

OUR HEADS HAVE BEEN DOWN WORKING ON A CAPSULE COLLECTION FOR A SUPER FABULOUS BRITISH INSTITUTION DUE NEXT WEEK. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING IT IN SITU, BUT UNTIL THEN WE'RE SEWING LIKE BANSHEES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

LA FAMILLE BOHEMIE

2012-01-10T23:58:00.000-08:00

IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN FOLLOWING ALONG THIS WHOLE TIME, OUR YOUNGEST BROTHER CALEB IS WEARING THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA THEODORA SMOKING JACKET AND RICKIE SHORTS WHILE CHANNELING CHAZ IN OUR LIVING ROOM. WHAT CAN I SAY? HE LOOKS GOOD IN THE TOGS, AND OUR MAMA ALWAYS ENCOURAGED A LITTLE CROSS DRESSING.

ITS PART OF A WHOLE TENENBAUMS STROKE ALICE IN WONDERLAND (ALIX IN WONDERLAND?) SHOOT WE DID WITH THE DIVINELY BOHEMIAN BENEDICTE, OUR WILDLY TALENTED AUNT. YOU CAN SEE HER TAKE ON THE SHOOT, HER BLOG AND SOME MORE IMAGES HERE.

WE'LL BE SHARING OUR FAVOURITE MOMENTS SOON, WHERE WE PLAY WITH GUNS AND PUPPIES AND CYRILO WEARS A FAKE MUSTACHE.

ARTWORKS: ALL

2012-01-04T14:24:00.000-08:00

IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVOUR THE LAST MOMENTS OF HOLIDAY, WE WANDERED UP TO THE GUGGI TO CHECK OUT MAURIZIO CATTELAN'S RETROSPECTIVE ALL.

THE ITALIAN ENFANT TERRIBLE OF THE ART WORLD HAS HUNG PRACTICALLY HIS ENTIRE BODY OF WORK IN HARNESSES FROM THE CEILING, SO HIS REPETOIRE APPEARS AS IF BEING AIRLIFTED: TAXIDERMY, WAX SCULPTURES AND ALL.

ABOVE, THE IMPOSSIBLY SORROWFUL HORSE KEEPS WATCH OVER THE CENTRE OF THE GALLERY.

EVEN PABLO P (THE FATHER OF US ALL) MAKES A FEW APPEARANCES WITH HIS INFLATED HEAD AND HIS SIGNATURE BRETON STRIPES:

BEHOLD, A PRAYING HITLER, A WATCHFUL EYE, AND A NEW USE FOR DUCT TAPE (AS IF WE NEEDED ANOTHER)

OUR HUMBLE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THIS INCREDIBLE MOBILE DO NOT DO CATTELAN'S WORK JUSTICE. YOU MUST RUN OVER TO THE UPPER EAST SIDE AND CHECK OUT THIS WONDERFUL FOLLY, POLITICAL SATIRE, EXISTENTIAL CRISIS AND CELEBRATION. ALL IS ALL FABULOUS; WE WISH OUR HOUSE LOOKED LIKE THIS.

LIGHT UP THE SKY

2012-01-01T17:00:00.000-08:00

BEFORE WE LEFT FOR THE BEACH, MAMAN REMINDED ME SHE DIDN'T RAISE US TO BE 'HEATHENS AND HOOLIGANS'. WE'VE PUT THAT NOTION TO THE TEST THIS LAST WEEK OF HOLIDAY INTERLUDE. ON THE EVE OF THE NOUVELLE ANNEE, WE LIT FIREWORKS ON THE SAND, DANCED OUR TOOTSIES OFF, HOOTIN' AND HOLLERIN'. IF LAST NIGHT'S FESTIVITIES WERE ANY INDICATION OF THE COMING YEAR, THIS 2012 IS TO BE A RUTHLESS CRIPPLER.

WITH LOVE FROM THE HIPPIE HOUSE

2011-12-23T14:48:00.000-08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLINGS.
WE'LL SEE YOU IN THE NEW YEAR, WHEN WE'LL SHARE THE FULL EXTENT OF THE ABOVE ANTICS.

IN GOOD COMPANY

2011-12-19T05:27:00.000-08:00

WE SPOKE A LITTLE WHILE AGO ABOUT THE BIJOUS ALIX OF BOHEMIA WAS DESIGNING FOR A SUPER COOL START UP. WWD HAS GONE AND DONE A FANCY ARTICLE THIS MORNING, THE PROPHET HAS SPOKEN, NOW WE CAN TALK ABOUT PLUKKA.

ITS NO SURPRISE THAT ITS THE BRAINCHILD OF JOANNE (FELLOW FREE SPIRIT WHO BOUGHT OUR FIRST EDITION OF THE STEPHANIE DRESS IN SWISS DOT CHIFFON), WHO HAS CREATED A MODEL WHICH BRINGS US THE FANTASTICAL (REAL) BAUBLES WE WANT FOR A FRACTION OF THE PRICE.

TAKE THE EVIL EYE RING WE DREW UP (FIGURE 4) ON THE LOWER RIGHT; ONCE MADE, PLUKKA WILL THROW IT UP ON THEIR SITE FOR AN AUCTION. FOR A LIMITED TIME LADIES AND GERMS WILL BE ABLE TO BUY THAT STUFF.

THE MORE PEOPLE THAT BUY THE ITEM, THE LESS EXPENSIVE IT BECOMES. EVERYTHING IS 70-90% OFF OF THE RETAIL PRICE. WE DON'T USUALLY LIKE TO TALK NUMBERS, (JUST NOT OUR LANGUAGE BABY, WE SPEAK FLUENT FABRICS) BUT DISCOUNTED NUMBERS ATTACHED TO SHINING BAUBLES ARE KIND OF OK.

A SELECTION FROM OUR SKETCHBOOK: ABOVE, THE NANTUCKET FIXED GOLD ROPE BRACELET AND A MIXED METAL AND DIAMOND CHOKER INSPIRED BY MASAI NECKGEAR.

GET THE FULL EXPERIENCE HERE: PLUKKA

ALL WE WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS ANTOINETTE

2011-12-13T06:44:00.000-08:00

THE RIDICULOUSLY COOL ANTOINETTE WYSOCKI FIRST CAME ONTO OUR RADAR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN WE MET IN HONG KONG. SHE WAS DOING HER THING, SHOWING HER PAINTINGS TO THE INTERNATIONAL JETSET, HAVING JUST GIVEN BIRTH TO BABY ONE. SHE HAD ALL SORTS OF COOL TATTOOS, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF HER MESMERIZING AND MEDITATIVE CANVASES HERE.

FOR SOMETHING THAT TRAVELS, THE GENIUS OF PIECCO PANG HAS WRAPPED THE MINI AUDIERE WITH ANT'S SIGNATURE CANVASES, MAKING FOR THE COOLEST BOITE CLUTCH WE HAVE EVER SEEN. YOU CAN BUY ONE FOR YOURSELF (YES) OR FOR A LUCKY SOMEONE ELSE HERE.

WE'LL BE STUFFING OURS WITH CANDY CANES, EIGHT HOUR CREAM AND TUBES OF WATERCOLOURS, IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES.

RECALL THE PAINT SPLATTERED WALLS OF OUR FALL 2011 LOOKBOOK? IT WAS SHOT IN ANTOINETTE'S STUDIO IN MIDTOWN; SHE WAS KIND ENOUGH AND COOL ENOUGH TO SHARE THE LOVE, HER DRIPPINGS PROVIDING THE PERFECT CANVAS FOR THE CLOTHES:

ALIX OF BOHEMIA VITA DRESS IN SPOTS ON IN ANTOINETTE'S STUDIO.

SEE YOU SOON ALLIGATORS, WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE. ONCE WE SCORE ONE OF ANT'S CLUTCHES, WE JUMP ON A PLANE AND HEAD HOME FOR AN AMERICAN CHRISTMAS.

THEODORA, RALPH AND WANG

2011-12-05T00:54:00.001-08:00

WE WRAPPED UP LIKE A NAVAJO GNOME THIS MORNING, IN AN ALIX OF BOHEMIA CUSTOM

THEODORA SMOKING JACKET.

IT WAS COLD AT THE MEWS, AND WE WERE FEELING A LITTLE 'RICKY AND RALPH GO TO ASPEN IN THE EIGHTIES', SO WE STACKED LAYERS OF TWEED, DENIM AND KNITWEAR BENEATH THE WOVEN RUG FACADE OF THEODORA.

IF THEODORA HERSELF AND VISIONS OF THE WEST WEREN'T ENOUGH TO PULL US OUT OF THE MIRE OF A MONDAY, MAY WE SUGGEST THE ALEX WANG CHELSEA BOOTS OF OUR DREAMS? AN UNEXPECTED MIDDAY PRESENT FROM THE BEST BOY:

THEY MAKE US FEEL LIKE KEITH RICHARDS (IN THE ANITA YEARS);

A HAPPY MONDAY INDEED.

WE PICK A LITTLE, TAKE A LITTLE FROM THAT LOVELY TEXT OF E. B. WHITE'S OF 1952, MS. CHARLOTTE AND HER WEB. FOR WE LOVE A FLEXIBLE WOMAN, SOMEONE UNAFRAID OF A LITTLE CHANGE.

OUR DARLING CHARLOTTE (OF THE HUMAN VARIETY) SAW THE CUSTOM JOBBY WE DID FOR MAMAN (HERE), AND ASKED US TO ADAPT A CLASSIC CAMELIA BLOUSE IN 'PROVENCE NIGHT' INCORPORATING THAT CHARMING LITTLE MILKMAID SLEEVE, TOPPED WITH CORAL GINGHAM TRIM.
MAN ALIVE, WE LOVE THE RESULT SO, WE COULDN'T RESIST SLAPPING ON A VINTAGE SILVER BELT AND SNAPPING A FEW IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR BEFORE SENDING IT OFF TO CHAR OVER IN NEW YORK.

SOMETHING OLD

2011-11-15T10:08:00.001-08:00

OUR BELLA COUSIN GOOSEY IS GETTING MARRIED (HOORAY!)SHE HAS OPTED TO HAVE AN ALIX OF BOHEMIA WEDDING DRESS FOR HER UPCOMING SUMMER NUPTIALS (WE ARE HONORED).

HOURS AND HOURS SPENT DISCUSSING SOMETHING SIMPLE AND FLOWING AND REMINISCENT OF JULIETTE'S NIGHTGOWN.

FOR INSPIRATION, WE TURN TO OUR SHARED GRANDPARENTS ON THEIR WEDDING DAY MANY YEARS AGO IN PARIS.

LE 20 OCTOBER, 1945 IN NEUILLY, PARIS.

IT WAS DECIDED THAT THE FABRIC COULD BE NOTHING SHORT OF SPECTACULAR.

AND SO, WE UNEARTHED FROM A VINTAGE ARCHIVE THIS SWATH OF SILK CHIFFON, MADE IN FRANCE NO LESS, IN THE SAME DECADE AS THE MARRIAGE ABOVE, (IT WILL BE GOOSEY'S 'SOMETHING OLD').

REGARD, THE FRENCHIE SILK CHIFFON GOLDEN BEAUTY WE HAVE SETTLED ON FOR HER DRESS:

WE LOVE THE LATTICE PATTERN OF THIS; FOR SOON GOOSEY AND HER MAN WILL BE INTRICATELY INTERTWINED FOREVER.

MARKETING

2011-11-13T09:46:00.001-08:00

SHALL WE GO THIS? SAID CONSTANCE.

THERE'S A SMALL CHANCE, SHE CONTINUED,

THAT 'VINTAGE' DOESN'T MEAN 'POLYESTER'

AND GO WE DID. CONSTANCE AND I STARTING WITH SOME ACID CHIFFON AND A SUPER COOL NEON PUCCI MINI, AND QUICKLY MOVING ON TO FALL IN LOVE WITH A CZECHOSLOVAKIAN JEWELED HEADDRESS, HEADGEAR OF JOY:

A TANGERINE CHIFFON BEADED DRESS FROM THE TWENTIES MATERIALIZED.

IT WAS HEAVIER THAN CONSTANCE HERSELF, BUT THE FABRIC WAS AS DELICATE AS TISSUE.

NATURALLY WE GRAVITATED TOWARD THE ETHNIC CORNER;

EVERY TIME SOMETHING CROCHET, EMBROIDERED OR EMBELLISHED WOULD MATERIALIZE, WE WOULD GASP AND SHOW IT TO CONSTANCE FOR APPROVAL, WHO WOULD JUST LAUGH. APPARENTLY WE ARE VERY PREDICTABLE, AND SHE IS AVERY PATIENT WOMAN.

BUT THERE WAS NO REASONING TO BE DONE WHEN WE STUMBLED UPON A SECTION OF EMBROIDERED GOODS FROM HUNGARY AND UZBEKISTAN.

HAPPY AS A PIG IN MUD.

SO HAD NICO DITCHED THE WHOLE VELVET UNDERGROUND GIG, AND MOVED TO PROVENCE FOR FULL TIME SUN AND MARKET GOING, SHE'D BE ALL OVER HER NAMESAKE JUMPSUIT LIKE WHITE ON RICE.

INSPIRED BY THE SOLEADO AND PIERRE DEUX FABRICS OF OUR CHILDHOOD, WE WORKED UP THIS BABY A TRADITIONAL FRENCH MOTIF.

WE SUGGEST TAKING NICO TO WARM LOCATION: SHE NEEDS LOTS OF LOUNGING AND PILES OF FRESH SEAFOOD ON A DAILY BASIS. HER PALAZZO PANTED SELF CUTS A WONDERFUL SHAPE WHILE DANCING IN THE SQUARE.

FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT, MAY WE SUGGEST PAIRING WITH A SEDUCTIVE EYE GRAZING FRINGE?

2011-09-22T08:22:00.000-07:00

SALUTE TO THE [FLOWER] POWER SUIT.

AS CHILDREN OF THE 80'S, WE'VE LEARNED A THING OR TWO ABOUT THE IMPACT OF A POWER SUIT. AND BECAUSE THE WORKING GIRL VARIETY ARE A BIT FANCY FOR US, WE'VE REINTERPRETED THE IDEA, (AN ALIX OF BOHEMIA FLOWER POWER SUIT PERHAPS?) TO SUIT OUR NEEDS. WHICH INCLUDE OF COURSE, DAILY PICNICS, RUNNING BAREFOOT THROUGH WINE COUNTRY AND CUTTING A RUG AT PAUL AND ANDRE IN L.A. (AZIZ, MY MAN, BONJOUR). OUR LITTLE PHILLIPA JACKET AND FRANKIE SHORTS WERE TOTAL PROS, A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN: JUST CALL ME YENTA. AND WE'VE TAKEN A FONDNESS TO THROWING IN THE CHOMEL BLOUSE JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE; (AS MUCH AS WE'D LIKE TO WEAR THE JACKET SANS ANYTHING, THAT KIND OF FREE-SPIRITED BEHAVIOR IS BEST RESERVED FOR THE COMMUNE)

LOVE THAT THE TEXTILE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN PULLED OFF CAMELS BACK (ACCESSORIZE AS YOU WILL, PERUVIAN CAMELS HAVE GOT STYLE IN SPADES)

I'VE ALWAYS HAD A THING FOR TRAVELERS.

ITS A CLICHE, ROMANTIC PREOCCUPATION DEEPLY ROOTED IN MY MORE FORMATIVE YEARS OF STUDY, A WANDERLUST INSTILLED IN ME BY MY MOTHER, WHO ALSO HAD A FASCINATION WITH NOMADIC TRIBES, ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS WHO ROLLED AROUND, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE ADORNMENT AND CRAFT.

AND THE SLIGHTLY MORE CINEMATIC NOMADS, (AS ENVISIONED BY MR. ANDERSON, ABOVE) ARE EQUALLY FUN, IF NOT SLIGHTLY MORE ACCESSIBLE.

I LOVE THE IDEA OF BEING ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT AN AGENDA, TO BE A STRANGER, OPEN MINDED AND ANONYMOUS, IS ENDLESSLY APPEALING FOR SOME REASON. TO ME, THIS IS THE IDEA OF THE BOHEMIAN.

IT IS WITH THIS SPIRIT THAT I STARTED SEWING, CRAFTING CLOTHES THAT HAVE A LIFE OF THEIR OWN AND HOLD ONTO THEIR OWN HISTORIES. THEY HAVE TAKEN ME ON ADVENTURES AND BECOME MY SECOND SKIN, MY DAILY COSTUME AS ALIX OF BOHEMIA.

ITS TOTALLY THRILLING TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THESE GARMENTS, AND THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THEM AS WE RELIVE THE EXPERIENCES WHICH MAKE UP THIS COLLECTION OF 2012.

COME ON IN, MY PARTY PEOPLE, THE WATERS FINE.

ABOVE, AT THE CARNEROS INN IN SONOMA COUNTY CALIFORNIA, WEARING THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA 2012 PAN DRESS IN WHITE SPOT COTTON WITH A HANDMADE TASSEL BELT.

MERCI TO MY CAMERA MAN, CAMP DIRECTOR AND TRAVEL COMPANION, THE VERY HANDSOME MR. JASPER.

ITS ALWAYS SUPER COOL TO BE ASKED TO COLLABORATE WITH PEOPLE YOU ADMIRE.
BEFORE LEAVING HONKERS, I WAS APPROACHED BY AN ULTRA FABULOUS FINE JEWELRY STARTUP, TO A DESIGN A CAPSULE COLLECTION OF GEMS UNDER THE LABEL, LAUNCHING SOON.
SOME IMAGES FROM THE SKETCHBOOK OF LATE; WORKING WITH BRUSHED YELLOW AND ROSE GOLD, TURQUOISE, AMBER, LAPIS , CORAL, AQUAMARINES AND DIAMONDS. INSPIRED BY 70'S VEROUSHKA (IS THERE ANY OTHER VEROUSHKA, REALLY?) + THE DECADENCE OF NEFERTITI + THE BOLD FORMS OF TRADITIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN AND AFRICAN TRIBAL JEWELERY.

WE PLAN TO WEAR SEVERAL PIECES ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER AND DON A BILLOWING CHIFFON MAXI DRESS, TIE ON A TURBAN AND HEAD TO DINNER.

ON THE FERRY EN ROUTE TO THE ISLE OF BUTE FOR A LOVELY SCOTTISH WEDDING LAST YEAR, WRAPPED TIGHTLY IN MY FATHER'S WOOL SMOKING JACKET WHICH I COVETED FOR YEARS AND THEN NICKED (APOLOGIES DADU).

HE WAS ALWAYS LOOKING SUPER ELEGANT WHEN HE WORE IT, (FOR ENTERTAINING AT HOME) WITH A SPECTRUM OF WILDLY COLORED CORDUROY TREWS AND VELVET SLIPPERS.

FOR FALL 2011, WE CRAVED A BIT OF THAT NOSTALGIA FOR OURSELVES; THE MEMORY OF DADU, AND THE LEGENDARY LOOK OF SAINT LAURENT AND SAVILE ROW.

ENTER THE THEODORA SMOKING JACKET, THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA TAKE ON THE CLASSIC. WE MADE THEM IN JEWELED VELVETS AND PAISLEY CORDUROYS, BUT WE ARE QUITE ATTACHED TO THE VINTAGE COTTON VERSION, PHOTOGRAPHED IN NEW YORK LAST YEAR BY DANIEL SETH PAGEL.

'WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS BEFORE?' I EXCLAIMED, AND THREW AN UNLINED VERSION IN MY RUCKSACK AND TOOK THEODORA TRAVELING WITH US LAST MONTH. IT WAS IDEAL OVER A MADRAS BIKINI, (NO ONE LIKES AN EXHIBITIONIST) AND OFFERED A BIT OF PROTECTION AGAINST THE BLAZING MEXICAN SUN.

BACK TO SCHOOL

2011-08-27T02:00:00.000-07:00

RE-ENTRY IS A SWEET SORROW.

ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THIS LOVELY LAPSE: WE WENT NATIVE IN MEXICO AND DEBATED WHETHER OR NOT TO RETURN TO URBAN LIFE. SO SWEPT AWAY WAS THIS BOHEMIAN BUNNY, BY THE MULTIPLE ADVENTURES OF THIS PAST MONTH. WE'VE IMAGES AND STORIES TO SHARE AND A SUITCASE TO UNPACK WITH

ALL OF THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA 2012 SPRING COLLECTION.

WE DINED, BICYCLED, ROAD TRIPPED, DANCED AND SWAM IN CRYTAL WATERS WITH THESE CLOTHES, AND I SO LOOK FORWARD TO RELIVING THESE MOMENTS, ENHANCED BY THESE HANDMADE GARMENTS (WHICH, AFTER 30 DAYS OF NOT BEING WASHED, ARE ADMITTEDLY A LITTLE RIPE WITH SUNSHINE AND SEA SALT). I LIKE TO THINK THEY'RE BETTER WITH A FEW MILES LOGGED ON THEM; RICHER WITH A LITTLE LIFE EXPERIENCE.

WE'RE NOT QUITE READY TO SHOW YOU YET.

THIS NOMAD IS STILL ADJUSTING TO A ROUTINE OUTSIDE OF MAKING BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAYS AND EATING HER WEIGHT IN CEVICHE AND AVOCADOS.

HANG IN THERE PARTY PEOPLE, SPRING 2012 AND I ARE EN ROUTE.

HONG KONG, C'EST SUPER COOL.

2011-08-01T02:19:00.000-07:00

REALLY, ANY CITY THAT BOASTS SUCH A TURQUOISE AS ONE OF ITS MANY CHARMS WOULD WIN MY HEART- AND WON MY BOHEMIAN HEART IT HAS.

BUT ALAS, ITS TIME TO GO FOR NOW.

WE'VE SAID OUR GOOD-BYE'S. ONE OF THE MORE EMOTIONAL MOMENTS INCLUDED ONE LAST HUNT FOR TREASURE THROUGH SHAM SHUI PO. AS USUAL, THE CITY PROVIDED FOR ALIX OF BOHEMIA. BITS TO TIDE US OVER UNTIL THE NEXT TRIP: TURQUOISE ZIPPERS, CORAL BUTTONS AND MEXICAN LACE.

A FAR LESS ROMANTIC PICTURE, THE PACKING EXTRAVAGANZA OF ALIX OF BOHEMIA AND CO.(BEAR THE DOG IS COMING TO LONDON TOO).
IT DAWNED ON US THAT IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, WE'VE MOVED CONTINENT FOUR TIMES. THOUGH OUR MANTRA IS USUALLY 'MORE IS MORE', THIS SEEMS A BIT EXCESSIVE.
LOOKING FORWARD TO LAYING DOWN SOME PERMANANT ROOTS IN THAT GLORIOUS CITY OF LONDRA.

BUT FIRST, ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER TRIP, BEFORE THE HUSSLE OF THE FALL SEASON. AND WHAT DOES A BOHEMIAN WEAR FOR A MONTH OF TRAVEL? TO CALIFORNIA? TO MEXICO? TO KUALA LUMPUR AND FINALLY LONDON?

WHY, AN ALIX OF BOHEMIA JUMPSUIT FROM SPRING 2012 OF COURSE.

CIAO FOR NOW DARLINGS.

WE'LL BE SHARING SOME BITS FROM THE ROAD- BUT APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE FOR THE RADIO SILENCE, WE'VE GOT A LITTLE RECHARGE TIME ON THE AGENDA.

THIS ISN'T OUR FIRST RODEO, WE KNOW WHAT TO PACK FOR A MONTH AWAY.

THE SHEER DELIGHT OF STACKS OF BEAUTIFUL SHORTS. THE DIALOGUE ACCOMPANYING THE ABOVE READS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF GATSBY. I BORROW A PHRASE FROM MS. DAISY (BUCHANAN) AND EXCLAIM THAT 'I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH BEAUTIFUL SHORTS'.

FOR 2012, WE'RE ARE SERVING THEM COLORFUL AND ETHNIC, JUST THE WAY WE LIKE IT. AND MIGHT WE STRONGLY SUGGEST A SIDE OF SOLUDOS?

BOHEMIANS: COVER GIRL

2011-07-19T17:30:00.000-07:00

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, ALIX OF BOHEMIA WAS ASKED TO CREATE A GARMENT FOR A MODERN ALICE IN WONDERLAND EDITORIAL FOR HONG KONG AND SHANGHAI TATLER. HAVING LONG SUSPECTED ALICE WAS ACTUALLY A CLOSET GYPSY, WE WERE ONLY TOO THRILLED TO COMPLY. AFTER PULLING AN ALL-NIGHTER ON THE BACK END OF A TRIP TO PHUKET, THE RESULTING ALICE DRESS WAS FLANKED WITH A FEATHER BELT AND BOA, LANDING THE COVER FOR THE SHANGHAI EDITION, ABOVE.

AFTER A GIRLY DINNER WITH AMBERLY AND CONNIE CHEZ MOI LAST WEEK (SALMON TARTARE, WATERMELON AND CHAMPAGNE), A DRESS-UP SESSION INEVITABLY ENSUED, RIFLING THROUGH THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA ARCHIVES (A VERY LARGE CLOSET).

AFTER TRYING ON SOME GEMS FROM SPRING 2012 (NO PEEKING), THE ALICE DRESS STRUCK AMBER AND SHE STRUCK A POSE:

BLUE STEEL: AMBER IN THE ALICE DRESS AND MEXICAN SHELL BELT (LEFT) AND CONNIE.

MIX IT UP AND MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL.

ITS BEEN A BOHEMIAN DREAM IN THIS FOREIGN LAND FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, BUT ITS TIME TO LEAVE HONG KONG AND HEAD WEST, TO LONDON.

IN TWO WEEKS WE'RE OFF TO CALIFORNIA AND MEXICO FOR A MONTH BEFORE LANDING IN THAT LOVELY UNITED KINGDOM. WE'LL BE TAKING A LITTLE BREAK FROM LE BLOG AS WE HIT THE ROAD WITH SPRING 2012 COLLECTION.

WE'VE GOT TO TEST DRIVE THE MERCHANDISE BEFORE WE SHARE IT; WE'RE QUITE FOND OF THE WEATHER WORN, TRIDE AND TRUE QUALITY.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER WHEN WE CAN SHARE OUR TREASURES AND TRAVELS.

BOHEMIANS: THE NAVY BLUE OF INDIA

2011-07-12T18:09:00.000-07:00

AS THE LATE, GREAT MS. VREELAND POINTED OUT, PINK IS THE NAVY BLUE OF INDIA. SINCE WE CHOOSE PINK OVER NAVY ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, IT WAS ONLY AN OBVIOUS CHOICE TO DON THE INDIE DRESS IN PINK PANTHER FOR AN EVENING WALK WITH BEAR THE DOG. ITS BEEN HOT AS HELL OVER HERE AND SOMEHOW BRIGHT AND BREEZY TIE DYE SEEMS TO BE THE ANTIDOTE (PARTICULARLY WHEN PAIRED WITH A GLASS OF COLD ROSE).

I COULD HAVE STOOD IN FRONT OF THE GATE FOREVER, (AS THE GREEN MADE THE DRESS LOOK SO DARN GOOD), BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS A PARTICULARLY FEROCIOUS DOG ON THE OTHER SIDE, WHICH SET BEAR INTO A PANIC. HE'S MORE OF A NON-VIOLENT FREELOVING KIND OF DOG.

BEAR HUG.

A NOTE ON SIZING: WE PURPOSELY DESIGNED THE SIZING TO BE FLEXIBLE, AND ELLA AND CHLOE ARE WEARING THE SAME SIZE CLOTHING THROUGHOUT THE SPREAD.

WE HAD THIS CRAZY IDEA THAT KIDS SHOULD BE ABLE TO WEAR THEIR CLOTHES FOR LONGER THAN FIVE MINUTES.

THOUGH NO ONE MANAGED TO AVOID THE MERCILESS 'BALI BELLY' (ITS NOT AS CUTE AS IT SOUNDS), THE WEEK WAS THE PERFECT RESPITE FROM THE HONG KONG SHUFFLE. MY BLEEDING, PRODUCTION-WEARY FINGERS SOUGHT REFUGE IN THE WARMTH OF THE BALINESE SUN, SWEET SALT WATER AND HOSPITALITY OF THE BALINESE PEOPLE.
