ULTRA POP online shop

just wanted to let everybody know that the The fashion Tribune was chosen to produce an online shopping site and here's the link to it. Updates will happen often as I add more product to the shop ultrapop

STYLE.COM/PRINT

It's a first for me that I do a review for a fashion magazine but for some reason I had a interest what www.style.com was going to produce first time on the news stands. The cover photograph is a tad soft and grainy which was not a good sign for me. For $15.00, well that was another shocker as well but I paid the man and off I went with my issue.

In short the magazine is worth the investment since its only going to be produced two times a year, Spring & Fall seasons. The quality of the magazine is on par or better than its european competition. The paper stock is more like first degree card stock. As for the photography there's a good bit of Tommy Ton's street shots and a decent peppering of global runway. Its more of a giant look book and pages of "whats hot" or "what we like", you know 20 different handbags for the season etc etc.

My local fashion news stand was sold out of it but on the subscription level there giving it to you for half price! I already mailed in my card for the next two issues.

Valentino Moves Off Madison Ave!

About two years ago a friend and I were walking down madison when she asked me "if you had to make a bet on what big name on Madison Avenue will close who would it be?" It didn't take me very long to find the answer "Valention" I replied, "the space is so massive I just know how they can hold on."

Well last week, as I was doing my jaunt down madison my jaw dropped and OMG, there it was with paper in the windows, the last emperor has fallen! I had a feeling it was only a matter of time with the economy being in the state its in that Valentino would shut down but to move the collection into a hotel? I do admit its a sad day; but Madison Avenue is a tough customer and only the strong survive and some shops that are on the Avenue don't deserve to be there. So will Valentino will return? Its anybody's guess but I wouldn't make a bet on it.

Skingear Skin Care For Men

Ok guys we all know at least I do that I hate to shave but it looks like my problem might have just gotten a bit quicker thanks to Skingear. It's is a new product that just hit the marketplace and I am loving it! So far its a three piece set of slick shave lube,face gel and skin firming tonic.

The shave gel has the right consistency to make your blade skate across your beard and not gunk up your razor in the process! Surprisingly it also cuts your shaving time in half giving your skin a break from the wear and tear. Follow that up with the skin firming aftershave tonic and your good to go! There's also a face wash and all the products are lightly scented.

The starting price for each product is around $15.00 and can be found at specialty shops and online at www.skingear.com
