Comme Des Garcons design for Converse

This evening I was reading the Metro paper and came cross the article on head designer Rei Kawakubo designing for Converse.

The shoes will be sold at Opening Ceremony. I didn't see them yet on the website.

I did some research and found an article on NBC New York website.

They said that "Converse kicks will hit the U.S. later this month at Comme des Garcons stores across the city, as well as select retailers that sell Comme des Garcons Play. Then, come October, the rest of the nation will be able to buy one of the four new styles -- two high-top sneakers and two oxfords, all emblazoned with the signature heart and eyes".

I love Converse shoes. The converse styles I have seen are the Jack Purcell and the hi-top. These are super cute shoes but the price seems kind of high for Converse.

It's Friday and I'm really hungover

But wait! Let me tell you... I read yesterday (prior to my debauchery) that Chocolate Milk is a good hangover cure and what do you know.... I'm standing on two and ready to peep out the Opening Ceremony Sale. Apparentely, the goods are on sale, up to 75%. It may already be too late (doors opened at 11am) but I feel like I still need to wait until I've had some tacos from La Esquina. I'm just taking additional precautions.

Other big Sample Sales going on today: APC (Soho). Expect some madness, it might not be worth it.

As for last night....as expected, the VICE party was out of control and packed to the gills. I thought it was pretty fun and there was definitely lots of eye candy. We even saw Studio 54's Steven Rubell getting his party on. And in fact Santo's Party House reminds me a bit of a late 80's/early 90's Studio 54....

One Note: NOKIA sponsored the event and the pics the camera phone takes suck. I was kinda surprised. But hey, we weren't really there for the phones, were we?
