ROCK STAR COOKS
Olivia Arellano ’ s California based Reloveler collection of double-sided unisex aprons was born out of her desire to reincarnate the classic chef ’ s uniform “ into a timeless garment that evokes style , sophistication , versatility , fashion and pride .” Influenced by her visits to couture houses in Paris , her Mexican heritage , art history studies , motherhood , a background in marketing and her love of cooking ( she is married to chef Leo Borgarra ), the pieces preserve the essence of the traditional apron while elevating it with luxury materials — such as leather , silk and metal — giving them a rockstar edge . They come in a range of prints , textures and sizes , as well as custom , one-of-a kind creations ; $ 200 ; relovelerdesigns . com .
JUXTAPOSITION
On the runway , Belgian designer Dries Van Noten is known for clashing prints — bold florals with animal prints , camo with zebra stripes . Now he ’ s entered the beauty business , with refillable lipsticks and fragrances in containers as juxtaposed as his fashion . Modepaleis , his 10-piece fragrance sampler , brings together in one refined coffret the whole Dries Van Noten Eau de Parfum collection . Each is beautifully displayed ( every bottle ’ s porcelain base is unique and hand-made by REVOL , a family-owned porcelain manufacturer based in Valence , France ) on a design created by Dries that invites one to embark on the designer ’ s impossible combination journey , such as Voodoo Chile ( rosemary and patchouli ) and Rosa-Carniva ( pink pepper and rose ); $ 60 ; saksfifthavenue . com .
