Go Local! Go Rickshaw!
Nowadays it seems that everywhere you look, there is the push to go local. And while the emphasis seems to be on food and produce – here at MODE we say, take it one step further, you guessed it – local fashion.
Allow me to introduce to some, and re-introduce to others: Rickshaw Bagworks.
Located locally in the bay area, Rickshaw makes a product that caters almost every field of work, and life. Whether you’re a busy on the go mom or dad, or an aspiring professional – Rickshaw’s vast array of product and customization seems to fit the bill across all needs and uses.
We recently had the chance to get our hands on a new favorite from Rickshaw – the Skinny Commuter Backpack
When it comes to function, this bag is amazing. Boasting weather resistant fabric both inside and out, w [...] Continue reading →
Jean Paul Gaultier’s Brilliant Exam Result
It felt a tad like an exam test Wednesday, July 6, when Jean Paul Gaultier presented his first haute couture collection since the acquisition of his fashion house from Hermes by Spain’s Puig family in a $45 million deal in May.
Gaultier was busy on two fronts, also launching his latest men’s scent, Kokorico, right after the show in a nearby theatre. By buying Gaultier, the Puigs significantly boosted their standing in the perfume sector, where the Catalan clan already controls Nina Ricci, Carolina Herrera and Paco Rabanne.
Evidently unburdened by what was apparently a fraught few final years of partnership with Hermes, Gaultier was an in ebullient mood, sending out 60 looks all centered on the theme of ballet.
With looks with names like Black Swan, Triple Pirouette or Swan La [...] Continue reading →

The Comfort of Consistency
Consistency: The Key to Well-Behaved Children
What does “consistency” mean?
Consistency means that rules and expectations are the same from one time to another. Consistency makes the child’s world predictable and less confusing. It frees their minds of worry about what might happen and teaches them accountability for their actions.
Why is consistency important?
Consistency gives a child a sense of security. They learn they can rely on their parents and trust that their needs will be met. This helps in the bonding process.
Children with consistent parents experience less anxiety.
Developing a daily routine with regular rising times, bedtimes, after school schedules, and meal times will cultivate a more peaceful home life.
Consistency helps a child develop a sense of res [...] Continue reading →
The Little Mermaid – San Francisco Ballet
MODEbayarea, recently had the privilege of attending another brilliant performance, courtesy of the San Francisco Ballet. The 2011 production of John Neumeier’s The Little Mermaid was both beautiful and entertaining from start to finish.
This was our first experience seeing The Little Mermaid production (my wife and I) and even though we come from vastly different understandings and backgrounds when it comes to dance (she was a dancer growing up – I have two left feet) we were both equally impressed by the set pieces, melodic music accompaniment, and of course breathtaking dancing.
What most people are unaware of is that the original story for The Little Mermaid was actually written as a ballet, and then adapted to various media – the most famous of which is Disney’s 1989 animate [...] Continue reading →
