Underligne Doo Ri Fall Lookbook

"Architecture is a recurring theme in Doo-ri's design, and for fall 2011, she draws inspiration from Art Deco. The movement takes natural forms and translates them into abstracted shapes, just as autumnal flowers, dusky landscapes, and translucent webs are evoked in the graphic patterns and embroideries used to construct these Under.Ligne pieces. The bold decorative elements are juxtaposed with the designer's signature use of jersey and draping --the effect is a collection that pairs hard elements with softer silhouettes, and that embellishes feminine forms with distinctive design details."

Our Underligne Doo Ri Fall Collection will be arriving in the coming weeks. Feel free to contact us, if you would like to be informed when we receive our shipment. 503-274-8882 or info@parallelportland.com

I Adore

I just couldn't get my eyes off this guys jacket. I'm assuming he's Japanese since I'm at a Japanese restaurant and for his fearless and 'Anime' inspired style. Not sure if I love the jacket more or the fact that he paired it with a flamingo pink hat.

Don't you just adore him?!

Sneak Peek: Rag & Bone Resort 2012

Here are some images from the Resort 2012 collection. These pieces should arrive at the end of October. If you are interested in being contacted when they arrive, shoot us an email at info@parallelportland.com. xoxo Tez






I am most excited for this Admiral coat in the grey/camel color blocking. Ordered one for myself!

Colored denim has become increasingly popular with celebs sporting them in all sorts of fun colors like mint green and citrus yellow. I am a little more conservative with colored bottoms but have taken the plunge this season with a solid plum color. The pic above shows the printed version.





We are disappointed that this sweater did not make the final cut but think it is an extremely cool look anyway. However, you will most definitely be pleased with the version that did make the cut. The Baxter Sweater- a tailored black crewneck with detachable leather collar and cuffs.




We love these shimmery gold pieces just in time for your Holiday parties!

Tanabata


I just had to share this picture that my girlfriend, Megumi, took while she was in Japan. She is at the Tanabata, the star festival, that usually begins on July 7th. The Japanese celebrate this day by writing wishes on tanzaku (small, colorful pieces of paper) and hanging them on bamboo. The bamboo and decorations are set afloat on a river or burned after the festival. It brought back strong memories of my summers in Japan and how I was really hoping my wish would come true!

Denim Sweater by Rag & Bone


We love this cotton sweater made of recycled denim. The confetti speckles add just enough interest to this light colored top.
