New kids on the block

Here they are. As a pre-preview of what Bob Sdrunk is cooking for the incoming season, HIDI is introducing the new 2012 models.

CHICAGO shows a sophisticated vintage frame made with precious acetate linked to amazing metal carbon-look arms. The degradé lenses are perfect for driving with no problems of shades. Ideal for a top work meeting in New York as for sailing with friends in Portofino.

GAJA is the female butterfly answer to Chicago with same materials and a girly sweet yet heading-sky shape. With degradé lenses you can get into any place and let people look straight into your eyes. Choose your favourite colour and wear it all day long, no matter where you are.

Camouflage will make your look a true hit!

Paseando por el Born

Barcelona, barrio del Born. One of the most trendy and fashion oriented area of the Ciudad Condal centre, el Born is characterized by artists, cool people and a "different" kind of tourism if compared to the most centric Rambla and Eixample.
The Catedral del Mar church, oversees the entire space with its gothic style. On the backside, following Paseo del Born and turning right at calle Rec we'll find La Comercial, a group of "tiendas showroom" as the owner loves to describe his creations.

Many are the shop-points as Woman, Man and Casa (home), an all-you-can-find area where even your dog will be delighted by the latest accessories, coolhunted all over the world.
HIDI leather bags could find their space in these amazing temples of top brands research.

Esta noche soy una princesa

It's a statement: fashion blogs are still one of the most listened voice over style and trends. Followed daily by thousands of aficionados they mainly differentiate themselves between ego-blogs, where the writer mostly take pictures of her-himself with different clothes and accessories, and others where there are more comments, analysis and fewer times critics of events, launches and VIP dressing moves.

After Chiara Ferragni of TheBlondeSalad we would love to congrat Sandra and Emma from Estanochesoyunaprincesa.com where they produced an accurate and very well worked presentation of HIDI brand.
Thanks!

A New Take on the Statement Piece

There is certainly an increase in the usage of natural materials in accessories. From purses to jewels, wood has long been appreciated as one of the most elegant and refined resources.

But when it comes to glasses and sunglasses the difficulty to reach resistance standards has always stopped massive productions in accurate finishings. Cartier launched in 2009 the R line with wooden arms and prices over one thousand euros. Lately the italian brand Bob Sdrunk just came out with a handmade line in absolute, solid wood. It takes many craftsman hours to produce one sole piece. Available in 4 different precious and rare woods, the Redwood Burl version of the JFK model is presented in the picture as the perfect match with Aston Martin interiors.

 

 

News for the summer

"Doctor handbag is back with this HIDI’s signature distressed classic shape". This is what we read at HIDI website.
"Many customers asked for a summer version of the Landlovers vintage burnt brown" they report from headquarter, "and here we are with the latest lighter shade for the ones who yet want a country style with a slighter point of parisian femininity".
Another option for Landlovers style with a more city oriented taste, we dare to add.

A new way to run - Your way

This year’s retail incentive to hit the gym comes by New Balance, which is introducing a new custom sneaker program next week, a first for the label. Its classic US574 running shoe will be fully customizable, from toe to top to tongue. Even the New Balance “N” can be color-coded. Better still, the custom kicks will be made at the company’s Norridgewock, Maine, factory, which not only burnishes your made-in-the-U.S.A. credentials, it also means you’ll get your pair a lot quicker—within a week or two of ordering. The customization microsite, which launches this Tuesday exclusively on shopnewbalance, even shows you what your sneaker will look like. Instant motivation to get the blood pumping, delivered to your door for about $100.
