IRL: Style, issue 13

irl issue 13Galit - Height: 165 cm (5'4")
What do you do IRL?
Lawyer, theatre, traveling, food, fashion, being with family and friends, photography. I find inspiration from the company I keep and from the places I travel. For me, travel gives the gift of perspective.

Your URL?
I love The Sartorialist - favourite fashion/photography website. http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/

Why did you choose this look?
Simple, elegant, clean, understated, feminine and edgy. I feel most comfortable in clothing made from natural, quality materials.

What she's wearing:
  • HELENA Wrap Dress, black $324
  • SONIA Tote, Blueberry $548
  • CELINA Signature Cuff, Eucalyptus/blueberry $78
  • MEMPHIS Cutout Pump, Blueberry colorblock $240

Sandra Cha - Height: 5'4 1/2"
What do you do IRL?
I work in the fashion & music industry. Also behind 102M, startup jewelry line, my sister started. I love to travel, entertain/be entertained, get lost in flea markets, being a beach bum and always love it when it's a wine night.

Your URL?
102m.tumblr.com (sister's jewelry site)!

Why did you choose this look?
I was in between a few looks. ( The wrap dress & the colorful Pandora Flutter tunic- Both very fun and flirty). But I ended up choosing this dress because the back caught my eye. I loved the way the dress flowed and felt against the skin. The back was just gorgeous! It was sexy without being overly revealing. It is simple + playful and can easily go from day- night. And because I do not live in the city, I look for versatile pieces that I can wear to work yet be ready if I have to go to an event or dinner later that night. Because we all know that in New York, someone is always going to an event or someone always wants to have dinner. And it's one of those "go-to" pieces that when you're running late, you can always just wake up, roll out of bed and throw on, knowing that it will look good, which is key. *I know it’s summer but
I had to add the trench because I love coats, jackets and this one was a perfect complement to the dress. Normally I would go with black shoes, however I appreciated the color combo and how it broke up the gray. * Heel could be a little taller. The bag: well, it speaks for itself.

What she’s wearing:
  • PHAEDRA Dress, Black $298
  • PARKER Canvas Trench, Pebble $298
  • TROPHY Bag, Black $678
  • MEMPHIS Cutout Pump, Moonbeam $240
  • ISKIA Link Wedge, Black $238
  • OBLIK ATELIER GUGGENHEIM ring* $375

IRL: Style, issue 12

irl issue 12Laurel Wells - Height: 5'7"
What do you do IRL?
I design clothing for Hayden Harnett, practice and sometimes teach yoga, play in bands, and turn my apartment into a national disaster area with my frequent manic craft projects.

Your URL?
www.laurelwells.com

Why did you choose this look?
The print on this dress is so gorgeous and eye-catching without being flashy, and I love the element of surprise as it just peeps out from under the coat. The Athena sac is perfect for me because I ride my bike everywhere and the strap is long enough to wear cross-body. The shoes are just fantastic--extremely comfortable (I know this for a fact--I broke them in at the Masters in Augusta) and dressy enough to wear at night. I adore Oblique jewelry, it is so delicate and this necklace doesn't overwhelm the bold print on the dress.

What she's wearing:
  • HELENA Wrap Dress, painterly $324
  • PARKER Canvas Trench, crown blue $298
  • ATHENA Sac, Brandy $398
  • ATHENA Cuff, moonbeam $66
  • ATHENA Sandal, Moonbeam $158
  • IRIS Tassel Clip, Multi-color $28
  • OBLIK ATELIER GUGGENHEIM ring* $375
  • OBLIK ATELIER "Slice" necklace* $185


Sara Zucker - Height: 4'10" in flats, up to 5'3" in heels
What do you do IRL?
Right now I'm a "professional intern", working in the archive of a Vanderbilt mansion/museum. My free time has been spent cooking new and old family recipes, keeping my hands busy with arts & crafts projects, taking voice lessons, and applying for jobs since my completion of graduate school two weeks ago.

Your URL?
www.sarazucker.com
blog.styld.me

Why did you choose this look?
I chose this look because I am trying to branch out of my usual layered look of vintage flannels and hoodies. The silk of this dress was so buttery, I couldn't help myself, and grey is my favorite shade. The purse added the perfect pop of color and its threading matched the detail of the dress. I loved the sandals and was shocked at how well they fit (it's so hard to find size 5s!).

What she’s wearing:
  • FORTUNA Dress, Pebble $308
  • LORCA Turnlock, Lagoon $335
  • ISKIA Link Wedge, Black $238
  • OBLIK ATELIER “the fall” earrings*, $300

IRL: Style, issue 10

irl issue 10Lauren - Height: 5' 4"
What do you do IRL?
I am the training supervisor for Henry Street Settlement's Peer Training Institute while studying for my Master's in Social Work from NYU. At Henry Street, I instruct teens in important life skills (decision-making skills, relationships, and sexual health), and conduct individual and group counseling. When not at work or in the library, you can usually find me having dinner with friends, at a farmer's market (buying food for dinner with friends), or in a dance studio (before dinner with friends).

Your URL?
www.freerice.com

Why did you choose this look?
I chose the dress because I felt like a goddess of doom in it. But kind of a sexy, flirty, goddess, as in come and get me if you can. The wedges were a perfect and comfortable compliment to the dress. I love big necklaces, heavy enough so that you know what you're wearing at all times, and this gorgeous one was no exception. I grabbed the clutch as soon as I saw it, not only because it was shiny silver, but also because it brought out the grays in my dress, shoes, and necklace. I thought of the cuff as my piece of flair, if you know what I mean... The lightweight trench and colorful umbrella completed my stylin' outfit for a rainy day.

What she's wearing:
  • PHAEDRA Dress, Black $298
  • PARKER Canvas Trench, Pebble $298
  • KOKO Mini Bag, Steel $298
  • RAMONE Studded Slim Cuff, Papaya $90
  • GREENPOINT Cork Wedge, black/grey $228
  • Medallion necklace*, $135

Joanne Lee - Height: 5'9"
What do you do IRL?
I design handbags for Hayden-Harnett and eat/drink my way around NYC.

Your URL?
www.hel-looks.com -- I love how the Finns dress without fear.

Why did you choose this look?
This is the perfect "I look so put together, but really, I just threw this on!" dress. It's very polished but super low-maintenance and the color and fabric are the perfect combination I'm looking for this season; a flattering nude with a pop of bright blue, and it feels flowy and cool in hot humid New York summer! The sandals are perfect for walking around town in style and comfort, and I'm carrying the Conrad in ginger to contrast the flesh-tone palette. The bag is just the right size and has a pocket for everything I need in a snap and converts to a crossbody shape. People are definitely going to be checking out this outfit on the subway platform.

What she's wearing:
  • PENELOPE Dress, Bisque Boudoir $275
  • CONRAD Shoulder Bag, Ginger $450
  • JOEY Wide Cuff, platinum lizard $80
  • RAMONE Studded Slim Cuff, Black $90
  • IBIZA Slide, Platinum Lizard $120
  • ginkgo leaf necklace*, $60

IRL: Style, issue 8

irl issue 8Kimmie Smith - Height: 5'6"

What do you do IRL?
I'm the Editor in Chief of Kitten Lounge, a site that focuses on fashion, style, beauty, food and music. What started as my initial passion for fashion and music (I am the great niece to the late tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson - but don't ask me to sing) I enjoy bringing people hidden finds, indie designers and musicians as well. This site has taken me to Fashion Week, press events and really allowed me to meet interesting people! I am also the designer of my jewelry line, Kitten Couture which allows you to wear seashell and stone lariats that you can wear the way you want to! Finally, I work with companies as a consultant to integrate Social Media into their plans. This allows me to show them why it's necessary! I love to go out and find the next best place to shop or eat at!

Your URL?
Kitten Lounge http://kittenlounge.onsugar.com and Kitten Couture http://www.shopkittencouture.com

Why did you choose this look?
I chose this look as I like items that can be dressed up or down. I run around a lot and don't have time to change. I love how easy this outfit is. I would wear it just like this to go to an Editor Presentation during the day or to sit with my team to go over the editorial calendar for the following month. But I could wear this out to a party and simply bring a pair of heels with it. The color palette is perfect! I love the pops of color but that it.s not over powering and the light feeling is very whimsical. I love bringing in the grey tones of the bag as it's a great neutral and adds a pop of something in there. Finally, I love the necklace as I always wear pieces that have stone and I am a huge fan of silver. The way it peeks out of the little keyhole is perfect! This is definitely what I would wear to the next Fashion Week as it.s a mixture of a boho style brought to the modern day!

What she's wearing:
  • PANDORA Flutter Tunic, Painterly Print $308
  • WYETH Tote, Eucalyptus $725
  • JOEY Wide Cuff, platinum lizard $80
  • ATHENA Sandal, Moonbeam $158
  • agate and gold necklace*, $28


Stephanie Landry - Height: 5'4"
What do you do IRL?
I'm graphic designer at a big design and branding agency in New York. I collect Eames chairs and am obsessed with mid-century furniture and design. I love taking photos of my adventures with my sweetheart and my friends. I also design and make jewelry, and love french bulldogs and talking about hair.

Your URL?
http://twitter.com/steph_landry

Why did you choose the first look?
I'm really digging the one piece swimsuit trend. This particular style is classy but sexy at the same time. I love the low neckline and ruffle detail. The colorful shoes add an unexpected twist to a solid black suit. I picked out this yellow tote to match my bright yellow nails and bring more fun into the look. I've been gravitating to my yellow nail polish recently, a fun cheerful color for summer that is surprisingly neutral! The silver jewelry is a perfect finishing touch for swimwear when you don't want your accessories to be too overwhelming or heavy.

What she's wearing:
  • Clio Ruffled Maillot, Black $198
  • EROL Large Canvas Tote, Sun $155
  • ISKIA Link Wedge, Blueberry colorblock $238
  • CELINA Signature Cuff, Moonbeam $78
  • Brandish 'kraz' pick ring* $80


Why did you choose the second look?
I chose the dress for its feminine and floaty cut. The asymmetrical styling is truly unique. This is an easy piece to throw on and and feel effortlessly glamorous. I'm a big fan of the heel on these sandals, they add just a little height and would go with both casual or dressier looks. The stud detailing is fun and a little punk!

What she's wearing:
  • PHAEDRA Dress, Crown Blue $298
  • MATILDA Tote, Steel $488
  • MERCURY Tie Wedge, Eucalyptus $258
  • CELINA Signature Cuff, Moonbeam $78
  • oblik atelier 'the fall' earrings $300
  • agate and gold necklace*, $28

*available at both the Brooklyn and the Manhattan Hayden-Harnett retail locations

Where the Boys Are...



It's no secret around the design office that I'm totally into men's apparel and style right now, so when I read an article in the NY Times style magazine about Sid Mashburn's amazingly perfect shop in Atlanta, I was instantly in superawe mode. Sigh...I want to go and shop for Ben (and myself!) so so so badly, but time to watch the $'s.

Oddly enough, our superlative apparel designer, Laurel Wells, went home for the holiday break and popped into the southern mecca of homme chic after I begged her to simply touch the door and then touch my hand. Well, SID TOUCHED HER TOTE!!!!!!!!!!

Sid, you are amazing and the Hayden-Harnett spring 10 collection is dedicated to you (and nomads...and lava...and, uhm, abyssinian kittens).

PS- I NEED to buy the neon Caran d'Ache pens from you for my summer writing. do you take phone orders from wishful girls?

Cheers and thank you for being my new style icon (who thankfully has a lovely sense of humor).

-Toni

New HH style series coming: IRL

For the sake of real-time summer fun and style, we're starting a summer style series called "IRL" (in real life). We'll have hh staffers, friends, family, and special guests come into the Brooklyn HH design : shop and style a complete look from head to toe. Should be interesting and fun since summer style can get a bit repetitive when the mercury climbs. Not all of us are glamazon models and often wonder what something looks like IRL on an average non-model body.

If you live in NYC (or are in the area and can make it to our brooklyn shop) and you're interested in doing an IRL style shoot with us, please email hhshop@haydenharnett.com with the following info:

-snapshot of yourself
-brief paragraph letting us know a bit about you...interests, hobbies, where you live, what you do

The IRL style shoots are on Tuesdays. Mailer gets posted to our blog on Wednesdays and sent to our mailing list.

Happy summer style,
-Toni

Cargo Cult : Autumn/Winter 2009

In the Solomon islands of the southeastern Pacific and other islands in Melanesia, religious sects known as cargo cults have sprung up intermittently among the islanders, especially in the period immediately following World War II. Islanders became obsessed with the idea that the luxury goods and technological marvels that were uncrated from cargo ships and, later, taken from airplanes or dropped by parachute were gifts for them from the spirits of their ancestors, and that Japanese and U.S. servicemen had apportioned these goods for themselves either by malice or by accident.

When the airfields were abandoned, and cargo no longer came, islanders build airstrips of their own, lit by torches, carved wooden headsets, bamboo antennas, and fetish airplanes of sticks and reeds. Looking up to the sky, cultists waited for their ancestors to send again their planes, and rich cargo. They waited a long time. On the island of Vanuatu, some still wait.

These Pacific islanders are not alone in their wonderment and faith. For years we too have been waiting, with the sense that the luxuries of our desires are brought to our island by the undeserving and shared only hesitatingly. And now the ports of entry for our most covetable goods are weedy and abandoned. Last month, at the Chelsea Hotel in lower Manhattan, we discovered a cult of women who had shut themselves up in a large suite, strewn with cargo crates, forgotten luxury items, romance novels, archery paraphernalia, and junk food of an indeterminate age.

We walked in on this modern-day cargo cult performing strange torchlit rituals, waiting, yearning for something they had lost. But secretly, we thought, as we saw their suede and leather adornments, their metal plated jewelery, the silk dresses, and leather pouches, perhaps these cultists already had the luxuries they professed to be waiting for. The Hayden-Harnett Autumn/Winter 2009 collection was born...

Simple silhouettes, heavily grounded in a palette of dark neutrals, balanced with colors of ethereal mist and fog ... Cutout details offer a glimpse into the mysterious while hardware and woven accents evoke artisan craftsmanship. Totemic patchwork is created in textural suede and rich silks featuring our hand-drawn prints.

Our collection is a gift from the deities for hunters and gatherers of the unique. See pictures from the Chelsea Hotel Presentation.

Get Yourself Together...our fall'08 playlist!

hmmm...woah! whatthewhat?

I swear I found this image when doing a google cover art image search for "the rapture; onto the tracks" and, uhm, wow...this very interesting depiction of our current president popped up. Gotta love the pearls that fall into your hands.

Anyhow...I just finished the fall08 playlist for the design:shop and thought I'd share the lovely love that is a dense/nutty/dancey complex mix of The Rapture, Dukes of the Stratosphear, The Mamas and the Papas, Rogue Wave, The Servants, Fleet Foxes, The Rolling Stones, Wings, and Stereo Total.

"All over the Place" would be a very apt title for this playlist, but I felt The Rapture captured my intended sentiment 100% with "Get Yourself Together"...a great anthem for these days. If we truly want change, we are 100% responsible to make it happen. We is me, you, us, citizens and countrymen, global neighbors, friends and foes, Republicans, Independents, Democrats, and Liberals...why can't we all be friends? Time to shake...shake...shake...shake it all up? Yes.

There are those who say that fashion should never be a platform for personal views. I disagree.

What is fashion BUT personal expression and a culmination of art, culture, personality, and a societal snapshot of our lives and times (+ a burning human desire to not be nude)?

1) Get Yourself Together/The Rapture
2) A Sun, A Small Star/The Servants
3) It's My Turn/The Servants
4) Plaid Lined Jacket/Tom Brosseau
5) Play with Fire/The Rolling Stones
6) Kicking the Heart Out/Rogue Wave
7) Army of Me/Bjork
8) 12:30 (young girls are coming to the canyon)/The Mamas & The Papas
9) Angie/The Rolling Stones
10) Sitting By the Riverside/The Kinks
11) Launderette/Vivian Goldman
12) Mind Your Own Business/Delta 5
13) Falcon Settles Me/Rogue Wave
14) Down For So Long/The Rapture
15) Canadian Girl/The Walkmen
16) Love Will/Suburban Kids with Biblical Names
17) Parakit/Suburban Kids with Biblical Names
18) This is Not a Test/She & Him
19) What Can I Do?/The Rosebuds
20) Shake Our Tree/The Rosebuds
21) Every Moment/Rogue Wave
22) Man-Revolutionary/Rogue Wave
23) Heart of the Country/Paul & Linda McCartney
24) Guns of Brixton/Nouvelle Vague
25) 1982/Miss Kittin and the Hacker
26) Glad to Be Unhappy/The Mamas and The Papas
27) Don Gon Do It/The Rapture
28) Mykonos/Fleet Foxes
29) LES Artistes/Santogold
30) Lights Out/Santogold
31) What in the World/Dukes of the Stratosphear
32) Shiny Cage/Dukes of the Stratosphear
33) You/Delta 5
34) Eyes On the Prize/M.Ward
35) Upon this Tidal Wave of Young Blood/Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
36) This Land is Your Land/Bob Dylan live version (orginal by Woody Guthrie)

Bon Voyage to Ben's brother Sam who is moving to San Francisco (and is becoming quite the investigative public radio journalist). Hope to see you soon on the west side.

-Toni

Word is... Hayden-Harnett on Gossip Girl Tonight

Here at the HH warehouse it isn't rare to find oneself in the midst of a conversation over the previous nights cable lineup. Sadly, with only 4 channels in my apartment I rarely get to join in on the fun. So this weekend when the weather looked gloomy, my roommate Ashley (a fellow HH-er) and I decided to binge on some DVDs.

As Ashley looked for deep, intriguing movies, I stood in the aisle known as 'sitcom heaven' pondering what season to add to my collection first. I decided on Gossip Girl -- I had never seen it, but had heard all the rage, seen the Times Square billboards, & even have a male friend who Tivos it religiously.

As Ashley and I settled down this Saturday afternoon we had no idea what we were in for. Needless to say, I didn't leave my house all weekend... hardly even left my couch. I hit the ignore button on my phone, neglected to study for a microeconomics test: it was "XOXO Gossip Girl" until 2am Monday morning rolled around. As we finished the last episode we sunk into a funk: what were we going to do without GG?

But there's good news: a new season has started and an episode is on tonight. And then the word came through: Hayden-Harnett will be on Gossip Girl tonight!! Serena van der Woodsen will be sporting the Corcovado Tote in Cordovan! So, at 8pm tonight, Ashley and I will be on the edge of our couch looking to spot the Wyeth on our new favorite show. Hope to see you there! -- Melissa

Serena also loves our Clara Flap Bag in Black Zeus Patent.

Sneak Peek! Our Spring'09 "MUSE" collection

Spring 2009 Preview!

Hurrah, NYC fashion week! We're just starting to seriously plan our Fall wardrobe and it's already time to consider spring dresses, sandals, and bags for 2009. Yep, the fashion carrot is ever-dangling and looks quite juicy for spring.

Our big news? We're launching shoes and swimwear fit for the muses of Xanadu. My ultimate dream is that Olivia Newton-John would arrive in full Kira/Xanadu regalia and shop in our Greenpoint store and serenade us all...we could rollerskate and hold hands. Olivia is probably the first true muse that I ever latched onto and I'm positive that I've watched the movie Xanadu at least 84 times. Oh, to be that blonde, Australian, and sing-songy. She even has perfect armpits...sigh.

more spring'09 apparel images to come. time to start working on fall'09!

HH <3's Mizz Greenpoint

The first annual Mizz Greenpoint pageant was a total success! Our darling Mimi placed as first-runner up...not bad for a pageant novice.

Check out the Style.com article for the down and dirty details of the event.

Check out the video about the blood, sweat, and talent it takes to become a champion.

More to come...but for now, we'd like to thank Eric Majorelles and Kat Hennerty of East Coast Aliens and Brooklyn Glamour for a smashing success of an event.

BEHIND THE SCENES -- FALL 2008

Fall 2008 Catalog Photoshoot - Preview

This is my first blog post ever, so I'm sorry if it doesn't sound bloggy enough. I wanted to give everyone a little sneak peak of what the Fall08 Catalog will be like. Today I will post some backstage shots. Tune back for some of the real deal shots next week









The shoot was great and lots of fun (and lots of bagels). The models, Monica and Masha were wonderful and the whole team worked really hard.


Kat, a very good friend and amazing photographer & cinematographer let us use her family's house in Great Neck which worked out perfect for the shoot.


hope you enjoyed the post. if you didn't then just pretend you did, because its my first one and i'm sensitive and self conscious. au revoir -mimi

it's all about the shoes...


ladies love shoes. men love nice shoes on ladies. good shoes make life worth living, especially in nyc. hayden-harnett <3's shoes. 211 franklin street is shoeville, with no exiles.

ohmydog...everyone at hh is 100% freakily obsessed with shoes, me included. every time the ups guy drops by, 8 out of 10 times, there's a fresh pair of shoes being delivered to some lucky lady who's hoping that "this is the pair"...the magic pair that are super-stylish, comfortable, well-made, and not a total rent buster. the elusive footwear "one".

so, what to do about this all-encompassing problem? bags we have. check. awesome bags for both fashion and travel. apparel we have. check. great dresses and outerwear that we all love and help us refrain from nudity.

shoes were the only thing missing from the mix. time to design some shoes, obviously. so i did. i sat down on saturday, 4/27 and started sketching exactly what i was looking for. style. comfort. personality. crafty leather love. wearability with an edge. kicks with style and soul. interesting to look at. easy to love.

what came of the saturday sketch session? a collection of shoes for hayden-harnett that will launch for spring 2009. nine styles that range from a slide to a zippered cuff boot that can be worn over the knee. all in our signature soft, natural leathers we use on the handbags. seven weeks later, we have a fully sampled line and we're sending out linesheets.

we will be introducing our shoes to buyers during the collections at WSA in the venetian hotel at the end of july. super. hurrah! all the hh ladies love the shoes and i'm now testing out the first pair of personals that i ordered for myself, the iskia link wedge. they float around my foot. they are easy to wear with everything. they are badass and woven with a covered leather wedge heel. they rock and they roll. even ben likes them.

further sneak peeks of hayden-harnett shoes to come.

Shakira, Shakira! These Wrists Don't Lie

We can't lie, these wrists are perfection. Since we first heard Shakira, she's been something of an H-H obsession. We were floored when we discovered she rocked our Ramone and Joey cuff on her latest tour.

Fall 2008 Collection - Preview

Fall 2008 Preview

Recently we launched our Fall 2008 collection with a little get-together at our new showroom. We thought it was time to offer everyone a peek at some of the styles we've been super excited about. We have a bunch of new and updated bag styles, fabulous new leathers and colors, and our best collection of dresses and outerwear yet. And it will all be available this coming July.



I think Toni describes the collection best: "I was inspired by the contradiction of the natural and unnatural: the man-made vs. nature. Vivid color welling up from and inky, dark background; metallics and slick patents are used for emphasis and pops of texture and unexpected color.



"Prints are inspired by nature and folk weaving, but then reworked digitally to read as modern, almost ghostly. The overall mood for silhouette in both apparel and accessories is about versatility and low-key luxury ... all the items are intended to transition easily from day to night. Design is inspired by both art-deco and primitive design as it would exist in hybrid for a modern world."

"Green is Good" on Fox TV


Fox 23 was Ben's Fox station growing up in upstate New York, so he was particularly tickled, uh, green that they chose to feature our "Green is Good" Tote as part of their focus on environmentally friendly fashion.

Viva Tropicalia! Spring/Summer 2008 Lookbook Movie


rhumba, samba, frevo. hayden-harnett's s/s08 collection is deeply inspired by a love for the passionate arts and culture of 60's brazil. vivid color, bold shapes, and hand-crafted detailing reflect the cultural flashpoint of tropicalismo. so, put on some caetano veloso or os mutatnes on the hi-fi, kick back and watch the surf roll in. remember, it is forbidden to forbid. from corcovado to sao paulo, we hope there's something perfeito for the artisan in you. view the catalog

Two New Things to Give Thanks For

This might be a little shallow, but we indulge from time to time. Of course we all have things to be thankful for this season, whether it is our family and loved-ones, good health or a recent recovery, the beauty and bounty of nature and the goodwill of most of us. But we're also pretty excited by two new items we've launched on our website today!

First is the exquisitely subtle metallic Rizzo motorcycle jacket in Bronze, which has arrived just in time to replace the black Rizzo, which sold out almost instantly:

Second is the to-die-for Hudson Triple-Strap Satchel in mouth-watering Bruciato, a classic and eminently useful shape in a rich holiday color, perfect for hot cocoa weather, turkey, and later, mistletoe:
