Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic: How To Wear Simian Mobile Disco

Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic

The daily chronicle of a fashion-and-beauty obsessed, style-writing, pseudo-Angeleno who made her way from the Great White North to La-La Land -- otherwise known as Los Angeles, California -- and back again. Till the next big city calls out her name, that is.

: Name: Haute Hippie; Location: Everywhere and anywhere

I'm a Vancouverite who moonlighted as an Angeleno. My momma is the best in the entire world, and I'll argue you hoarse on that one. I've been in love only once in my life. The East Coast calls me but the West Coast is in my blood. Social butterflies -- and party animals -- are a great species. Fashion and writing will be the death of me, but what a way to go. Carine Roitfeld is fabulous. I would die a painful death if art, design, photography, fashion, music and dancing did not exist. Always kind of wondered why Smurfette was the only girl in town. I can't draw. Absolutely believe everything happens for a reason. I feel so lucky to have the girlfriends that I do. I'm a total sun baby. Think I might be a workaholic. I may have slight road rage. Ice cream and hockey are religions. I buy too many glossy magazines. Nothing beats someone with a killer sense of humor. Chivalry is really not dead. I'm a victim of minor vertigo and a serious lead foot. Always up for meeting people from paths different than mine and crossing paths with old friends. At the very end of it all, I want to be able to look back and say: Yeah, I sure lived a damn good life.

How To Wear Simian Mobile Disco

You like listening to Simian Mobile Disco?

Well, now you can have SMD on you all day, every day, thanks to their limited edition "Attack Decay Sustain Release" t-shirt collaboration with London designer-slash-illustrator Kate Moross. The collection comes in four designs, which are available while they tour and, of course, online.

And when I say limited edition, I really mean it -- each design only has 72 reproductions, so if SMD happens to be the next show you're taking in, don't forget to pick a tee up after their set.

As for Moross, her client list is enviable.

We're talking bands like the Klaxons, Gossip and Mystery Jets, as well as record labels Merok, Young Turks and Mental Groove. She's also worked for Nike, Pepsi and UK mag Dazed & Confused. Oh yeah, and Moross has a Topshop collection and her own New Era design.

These hustlers will make you believe.

PS. Thanks Mike B. at Iced Media in NYC for sending in the tip!
