STAYING RELEVANT

As Able Abe continues to revamp we have a vision and a mindset where we'd like to be and what we want our brand to express. In the years previous it wasn't like we didn't have an idea it was more like we received a great deal of attention from a demographic that initially was not our target audience. Over time we built a fan base that kept us relevant and striving to grow. What follows is a interesting interview with the fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld speaking on these similar topics and more. CHECK IT OUT!!!

At the recent 2010 International Herald Tribune Luxury conference, The Business of Fashion’s Imran Amed interviewed Chanel creative director and fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld on a segment for the Luxury Channel. The interview delves extensively into Lagerfeld’s thoughts on what is required to stay relevant and progressive in our current landscape and to what effect technology plays in fashion.

A fan of a good pair of kicks, but not quite a sneaker head when I came across these I know I had to do a post on it. Just love the colorway and little details.

AIR JORDAN 3

Following an initial preview back in October, we now get a closer look into the latest Air Jordan model from Nike’s ongoing Doernbecher campaign. This new design continues the AJ III’s excellence with one of the more visually intriguing colorways we’ve seen executed on the iconic silhouette. Done up in a 3M scheme, the shoes feature reflective materials via the tongue, lace panel, and above the midsoles. Red serves as the predominate hue with black and silver adding some contrast in color. Clear outsoles with red stitching finish off the design. A scheduled release is set for December 11th, 2010, through limited Jordan Brand doors.
