A few weeks ago, R&B Crooner Ne-Yo unveiled his new hat line at Saks Fifth Avenue at Phipps Plaza in Atlanta. The name of the hat line is called, Francis Ellargo. I asked Ne-Yo why he wanted to create the line and he said, he is known for wearing hats all the time. When he was in high school he would get into trouble for wearing them but eventually the teachers let him slide because he refused to take his hats off, he said.

At the launch event at Saks fans and shoppers received 10% off of their hat purchase that was then donated to his Compound Foundation. It was held on the upper level in the Men’s store section. In attendance was his fiance Monyetta Shaw and some of his artists. Check out the line of hats that were on display at the event. He even autographed hats for customers. Ne-Yo plans on launching a full line of different styles of hats in the new year. The hats retail for $125

Last night I went to soo many events for the launch of Fashions Night Out! I had a ball going to Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza to see all the clothes, shoes, and what they had to offer. It was exhausting but I LOVE fashion so I tried to make it to several stores. Here is the first set of pictures shot by Sly Kingsmen. Enjoy and Happy Friday!

Fendi’s Selleria Exclusively made to order at Saks Fifth Avenue

I had a wonderful experience the other day at Saks Fifth Avenue at Phipps Plaza in Buckhead. Fendi just launched its pop-up, one-of-a-kind shop there, offering shoppers the chance to customize their own Selleria Collection handbags on site.

Customers can select vibrant and bold crocodile and alligator leathers, hardware, stitching and lining as well as up to six letters to monogram the inside of your purse with wedding anniversary dates, birth dates or initials. The handbags take four to six months to make because they are handmade and indestructible and range from $1,100 to $36,000. They also are shipped with special packaging.

I met designer Esther Di Sarno who divides her time between Italy and Miami. She shared with me the history of Fendi and how it was started in Rome in 1925 by Adele and Eduardo Fendi. The Fendis had five daughters who later took over the business. Today, daughter Silvia Venturini is the third-generation creative director. In the ’60s, fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld came up with the logo for the purse line over dinner with the sisters. Meaning ”Fun First,” the Fendi logo was the first to ever be included on designer purses!

I got to touch and feel the leather, play around with the tools used to make the bags and dream of, one day, owning one of these wonderfully crafted beauties. In the fall of this year, other select stores will carry the pop-up stores.

So, look out for those. I would like to thank Saks Fifth Avenue for the personal invitation.
