Vena Cava for Uniqlo Collection Available Today!

May 12, 2011 @ 10:05 am

Leading Japanese retailer Uniqlo collaborated with rising New York label Vena Cava for a six-piece collection that lands in stores today! “We chose to collaborate with Uniqlo because we really believe in good design offered at an affordable price point,” said Vena Cava designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock (inset). The price point for the lineup of dresses, tunics, and tops is certainly wallet-friendly, as each piece sells for $29.90. “The idea of creating signature prints for Uniqlo that have a Vena Cava feeling was a very inspiring design proposal,” the pair continued. The collection is available starting today in the New York’s Uniqlo store in Soho. Click “See the Photos” to browse the Vena Cava for Uniqlo collection!

Runway Looks We Love: Vena Cava

Feb 10, 2011 @ 6:18 pm

Nineties music inspired Vena Cava designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock for their fall runway show. In particular: “Veruca Salt, Elastica, The Breeders, and a lot of Fiona Apple,” the pair told us backstage after the show. “We researched our playlist thoroughly and once we got it together, everything started to really gel and fall into place.” The result was a collection that played with proportion by including grunge-inspired long lengths paired with cropped tops, bold gold chokers and cuffs by Dannijo, and shoes by Tenoversix. Click through the gallery to see some of our top looks from the Vena Cava show.

Chanel Hosts Celebrity-Studded Party, Ellen DeGeneres Walks the Runway, & More!

Sep 10, 2010 @ 11:26 am

New York Fashion Week is off to an action-packed start at Lincoln Center. Yesterday, Vena Cava, Richard Chai LOVE, Christian Siriano and Richie Rich all put on incredible runway shows, and Chanel hosted a party at the re-opening of its Soho boutique. Designer Karl Lagerfeld welcomed guests like Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Rachel Bilson, Alexa Chung, Liv Tyler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Rachel Zoe, who were all clad in Chanel. When we asked InStyle fashion contributor Rachel Bilson about her first Chanel purchase, she told us she “bought a little Chanel bag—it was the first thing I bought when I started acting. I figured I couldn’t go wrong with it because it was so classic, but it really sucked: it was stolen!” For more details on Day 1′s hottest happenings and celebrity sightings, click through our gallery now!
