Here is a product that might actually be a first for us, but we felt compelled to buck that trend by showcasing these Seletti chandeliers. We are pretty much exclusively accustomed to candles of the fragrant variety that come in their own glass containers, but these Burlesque chandeliers require a more traditional taper candle. The actual chandeliers themselves are really interesting pieces of art crafted out of polyresin with sculptures at their base. Check these out further at Seletti.

While Stussy has always been producing items outside the world of fashion, that part of the line was always pretty small. Stussy Japan has been offering a little more under the Stussy Livin umbrella, yet for Fall/Winter 2011 they seem to be making the first big push into lifestyle and homeware with the Stussy Livin General Store Collection.

From underwear, socks, plates, candles, glasses, to laptop and iPhone sleeves, leather pouches, canvas tote bags and more, the collection is a serious and strong offering of Stussy home goods. Branding is very subtle, yet the collection fits perfectly into the Stussy lifestyle in terms items and design. This might be one of the most exciting new offerings from Stussy, that we have seen in years.

Black Rainbow from Paris has teamed up with DROM Fragrance to produce their first scented candle, entitled “Senteur n°00″. Having worked with Gucci, Pucci, Dior and other high fashion houses before, DROM seemed like the perfect partner for Black Rainbow.

“Taking the concept of the raw and industrial feel of the store, the Parisian creative workshop “DROM Fragrance” wanted to underline that varnish, the plaster, the fresh wood, the debris and the dust of the shop. As if the smell of a work site would ever become synonymous with a noble impression, they enhanced it with notes of wood and a fruity smell. Using to that effect a balanced blend of Cedar wood, notes of leather, tonka beans, musk and a smoky effect.

We might as well tell you right away, the 00 candle BLACK RAINBOW is a delicate and subtle one. This is not a heavy and nor an omnipresent signature. The smell threads between spaces and recalls the universe in which the shop and its team revolve around. A signature, that of the 68 rue des Archives.”

The candle is exclusively available from Black Rainbow in Paris.

Baxter of California, the Los Angeles based men’s grooming brand, has teamed up with colette on the ‘Cruel Summer’ candle.

“The new scented-soy-wax-candle aptly named “Cruel Summer” was inspired by the scent and ambience of California. Cruel Summer opens with a very powerful green, leafy top note accented with a citrus lemon undertone. The body of this complex blend is a floral, green bouquet starring brilliant hyacinth, tempered with notes of cyclamen, and accented with a fresh marine accord. These rest on an alluring white musk base, embellished with cedar wood.

“We Love California” candles are designed by Marc Atlan, an art director with packaging credits including Comme des Garçons, Helmut Lang and Yves Saint Laurent. Atlan, whose résumé previously includes projects for Baxter of California, describes his design as a breezy homage to the pop music of the 80’s.”

‘Cruel Summer’ will be available at the rue Saint Honoré colette Paris boutique, and also in Los Angeles at Baxter’s barbershop [Baxter Finley]. Additionally the candles will be available online and at select retail partners.
