LOOK OF THE WEEK: Baibey of BABYSKIN GLOVE

Art & style visionary Baibey of BabySkinGlove stopped by SEAGULL recently and had her hair shaped into this ladylike look by Laura. We have really been crushing out on this Liz Taylor/ Clara Bow/ Sherilyn Fenn hair mood; it's such a refreshing departure from the superlong hair paradigm, managing to look both classic and fashion forward. Plus it's so great in conjunction with Baibey's enviable curls and head-to-toe LOOK--brooch, blazer, jewelry, nails and high heeled oxfords-- documented below.

Be sure to check the BabySkinGlove site to dig deeper into conceptual looks from Baibey and her collective, plus some truly stunning animated gif collages, or experience the BabySkin collective IRL during their 3rd Lyfe TimeShare this weekend as part of Bushwick Open Studios!

Look Talk: Dasha

The always gorgeous Ramdasha stopped in yesterday serving casual silk-and-leather batwing elegance. Shaun touched up her color before she set off for an international Designer Imposter engagement.

She custom studded this fanny pack for Shaun complete with the perfect LABRYS CHARM. It's like she knows him really well or something!

Ombré

SEAGULL VIP, neighbor, and fellow Pearl lover Rachel stopped by today for one of Laura's amaze blowouts which--when combined with Rachel's innate Francoise Hardy-channeling style--resulted in a perfect storm of casual glamour that needed documenting.

Rachel's haircolor by Laura is looking seriously good these days. I've been loving the balayage effect that Laura painted onto the ends of her hair a few months ago, with a few super natural-looking highlights reaching up higher towards, though not all the way up to, her roots. In a true colorist/client collaboration success, they nailed the perfect shade and highlight ratio for Rachel's hair and it continues to grow out into this gorgeous ombré situation you see here. So effortlessly pretty, so low maintenance, so simple, just really good hair.

Light Asylum/Grant Worth "Dark Allies" Video Premiere

Recommended: tonight's video premiere for Light Asylum's "Dark Allies", filmed and directed by Grant Worth, at NP Contemporary Art Center. Seagull has been awash in an industrial dance backdrop lately and the transcendant vocals of Ms. Shannon Funchness have figured heavily in the ambience.

SEAGULL CLIENTS OF THE WEEK: Annette and Phoebe Stephens

Sisters Annette and Phoebe Stephens co-design the obsession-inspiring jewelry line Anndra Neene. Drooled over by fashion & design blogs, recently featured in Harper's Bazaar, their gorgeous hand-hammered metal pieces comprise the only contemporary jewelry readily springing to mind that would look equally appropriate on a Viking queen, a Tuareg warrior, or a fancy uptown lady. With their relaxed/refined chic, striking good looks and of course great hair, the photogenic Stephens sisters are frequently Anndra Neen's best advertisement.

Naturally, our friend and neighbor Kerrilynn Pamer--who uses her formidable curatorial talents to stock the prettiest and most interesting clothes and bijoux at her store Castor & Pollux--has recruited the sisters to create an exclusive Anndra Neen for Castor & Pollux collection replete with luxe, powerful cuffs and clutches for days, all hand-forged by metalworkers in the Stephens sisters' native Mexico City. We here at Seagull love statement jewelry and we especially love beautiful things made for women (and men) that look like they might impart mysterious powers to the wearer. Anndra Neen fits resolutely into both categories.
