FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS BY LILI LU
Fashion illustration is often overlooked, but such a beautiful and essential element in the industry. I stumbled upon these gorgeous drawings by young French student, Lili Lu, and was in awe. Aren’t these long haired characters a beaut’? Check out a cool fashion illustration piece featuring some of the most talented artists around in the latest issue of WeTheUrban Magazine (page 56)!

FIRST LOOK: UNIQLO’S NEW FLAGSHIP STORE
I walked by this almost everyday while in NYC and was bummed that it wasn’t open in time for NYFW S/S 2012! The Japanese apparel retailer this week is opening a three-story, 89,000-square-foot flagship store on the corner of 5th Avenue and 53rd St. in Manhattan. The chain, which opened its first U.S. store in lower Manhattan in 2006, last year signed a $300 million, 15-year lease for the space, formerly the location of a Brooks Brothers store. It was reported to be the most expensive retail lease in New York’s history. Could UNIQLO become the next great American retailer? See those $9.90 jeans?! With prices like those, I sure hope so!
MADE ME + SCHOTT NYC’S “PERFECTO” LEATHER JACKET
In. Love. Made Me’s latest collaboration with Schott NYC is a classic moto jacket lined in a liberty print. Modeled by the always on point Nina Sky and shot by William Yan. The jacket is pretty much perfect thanks to its custom fit, black lambskin exterior and Liberty of London floral lining interior - it is available for pre-order now and will be available for October 1st at Mademeclothing.
