Kelly Van Halen Launches Cashmere Travel Blanket with Fred Segal

Filed under: Decor

Given that we live in a time when we are all busy reinventing ourselves, perhaps it's not such a stretch that interior designer Kelly Van Halen is launching a line of cashmere travel blankets. Van Halen, who went from being hard rock drummer Alex Van Halen's second ex-wife to being a real estate developer, house flipper, interior designer, and now blanket designer, will be selling her soft-as-can-be cashmere travel blankets exclusively at Fred Segal.

The blankets are the first product in the new line designed by KellyBaron -- the company named after Van Halen and her partner Baron Rogers -- that will be carried by the up-end Fred Segal stores.. The 4"x6" blankets come in matching 8"x10" silk-lined cases that look like pillows. The cashmere used is of superior quality and is 287 grams, or two-ply cashmere. The label is crafted in cashmere as well. Retail price is $425.

Fred Segal Fun Debuts G-Bike and G-Bike Chopper

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets, Green, Men's Style

The new G-Bike at Fred Segal Fun lives up to the "Fun" brand moniker in a number of unexpected ways.

Firstly, there are the colors; this snazzy scooter-bicycle hybrid is available in the above yellow, a grassy green, dark blue, red, sleek black and white and several other shades, with new hues being developed all the time (or, for a premium, you can design your own). Also, like a hybrid should be, the G-Bike is an eco-friendly, zero-emissions vehicle.

This fully electric scooter-bike can run up to 20 miles per hour for 35 miles per charge (which takes four to eight hours). It's well-suited to students and professionals in urban environments -- people who could walk, but are too awesome to do so. Best of all, you don't need a license to drive it or a registration to have it. Additional features include removable pedals, a remote control alarm, brakes, rear-view mirrors, a horn and ample storage space for books, a work bag, groceries, shopping bags or whatever you have.

The G-Bike is available from the Fred Segal Fun store in Santa Monica (310-394-9814) for $1,100. Check out some of the other colors and the stylish G-Bike Chopper (a more bicycle-like motor-bicycle) in the gallery below.

The popular Fred Segal store in Santa Monica, California will be the setting for a new reality series on the Bravo channel. The show will document the daily drama at the store covering the fashion-centered lives of the sales team as they cater to the upper class shoppers. The show will likely feature cameos by a few celebrities who make their way into the store for a little shopping. Fred Segal opened the Santa Monica store in 1985 and the store is still owned by the Segal family who will appear on the show.

Warhol Factory x LEVI'S x Damien Hirst Book

Filed under: Apparel, Art

Last night I popped over to the Fred Segal store in Santa Monica to check out the Warhol Factory x Levi's x Damien Hirst pop-up store. The small store within a store will be open for two months. The store features items from the denim collection, which feature jeans, jackets, t-shirts and shorts that feature some of Damien Hirst's favorite symbols such as crystal skulls, multicolored dots and crosses. The clothing starts at around $120 for the colorful skull T-shirts. The little pop up store is done up in silver with two examples of paint covered Levis hanging behind glass. Levi's documented the Hirst collaboration in a 224-page glossy book. The book includes a foreword by Interview's past editor Ingrid Sischy, an interview with Damien Hirst and fashion photography featuring Vincent Gallo. The book sells for $200 for the hardbound book or $300 for the book with a plexiglass and metal display box. My pictures from last night are in the gallery below.
