Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves Step out to Launch MUXO line

Email thisPosted Aug 11th 2008 at 12:58PM by Michael Buckner

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.

Robertson Blvd is a notorious hot spot for paparazzi and celebrities. The street is constantly filled with double parked SUVs, along with snappers jumping out and bombarding Paris Hilton on her way to Kitson. Quite frankly, it's dangerous, but I won't go political on you today! I was hired to shoot inside the launch of Muxo Handbags designed by new mom Camila Alves (which, you guessed it, was on Roberston).

Matthew McConaughey arrived with his newborn Levi Alves, breaking through a crowd of paparazzi and running into Kitson Studio.

The leather travel bags, handbags and clutches co-designed by Camila's mother and handmade by the mother-daughter team represent a lifetime of design experience with one-of-a-kind leather finishes and superb construction -- the result of which is this highly anticipated collection where elegance meets tribal exotic in the most beautiful way.

The handbags are a bohemian chic, with leather fringe, mixing blacks and browns that add an elegance to the laid back, distressed materials.

McConaughey sipped margaritas and snacked on catering by Beverly Hills hot spot Crustaceans

Check out the handbag line in my gallery below along with the few guests who showed up.

5 fashion trends for 2008 as picked by Fortune

Email thisPosted Dec 12th 2007 at 3:47PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Accessories

Now that 2007 is quickly coming to an end, it's time to cast your eyes on 2008 -- after all, you don't want to suddenly find yourself stuck with a closet full of last year's looks!

According to Fortune magazine, there are five big trends to keep your eye on next year. I wouldn't normally turn to Fortune for my fashion advice -- it's a financial publication, after all -- but their picks makes sense. Grown-up, sophisticated, and right where mainstream style has been headed ever since we dumped that 80s resurgence once and for all.

Here's what you'll need in the New Year:

Paul Smith comes ashore

Email thisPosted Oct 11th 2006 at 4:39PM by Anne Metz

Filed under: Stores We Love, Celebrities with Style

Fans of the quirky British designer Paul Smith will be happy to hear that he just opened his flagship American store in New York this week. At 142 Greene Street in Soho, the shop will feature all of Paul Smith's various collections, including his three women's lines, several men's lines, accessories, housewares, perfume and some furniture. According to reports, the new store will also exhibit fine art, including a piece by British artist Richard Woods. Not to spoil the surprise, Smith was tight-lipped about the details of the new space, suggesting instead that people should come by and check it out. Smith will be opening two more boutiques in Paris and Moscow next month.
