Mango Unveils Scarlett Johansson Ads
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News, Sales, Women,
Never one to seem shy about her sex symbol status, Scarlett Johansson flaunts her petite, curvy self in her latest Mango ad campaign for Fall/Winter ‘09.
Shot in Los Angeles by famed fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti, Johansson poses against a myriad of grungy back drops, including a graffiti-stricken wall and trashy red leather couch (seen after the jump). There’s actually one shot in particular that looks strikingly similar to a Guess? jeans ad; however, the blinding yellow background in another image isn’t too pleasing, either—bright yellow fails to evoke a sense of Winter to me.
Despite my minor qualms, Scarlett looks hot.

Kardashian Sisters Design Bebe Line
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
As if the world didn’t have enough celebrity clothing lines, the Kardashian trio have decided to follow the trend and create clothes, too.
With their plans to design for Bebe’s Spring/Summer ‘10 collection, everyone will have the chance to look like a Kardashian at a fraction of the cost.
“Kourtney, Khloe and I are designing for Bebe! This is honestly a dream come true! We have always loved fashion and have wanted to design for such a long time and now we finally are! I love Bebe and wear their clothes all the time so I cant wait for our collections to come out in the spring! You guys are going to love what we’ve come up with!” Kim wrote on her blog.
To me, this makes entirely more sense than Miley Cyrus for Wal-Mart.
Let’s just hope that CEO and founder Manny Mashouf will allow them to use better, more suitable materials than what I’m used to seeing in Bebe stores. Many women, I’m sure, are willing to spend the $120 on a dress, so long as one at Forever 21 doesn’t look better designed than it. I digress.

Selena Gomez to Launch Organic Clothing Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Watch out, Miley Cyrus—Selena Gomez is launching her own organic fashion range.
The 17-year-old actress, who has appeared in numerous family movies and TV shows since she was discovered by Disney in 2004, is designing a range of “inspirational” and “eco-friendly” clothes for young girls.
“With my line, I really want to give the customer options on how they can put their own looks together. I want the pieces that can be easy to dress up or down, and the fabrics being eco-friendly and organic are super important. Also, the tags will all have some of my inspirational quotes on them. I’m just looking to send a good message.”
The Wizards of Waverly Place starlet will be working alongside Generra designer Tom Melillo and Sandra Campos to perfect her collection.
Dsquared2 Designs MAC Make-Up Line
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales,
After revealing a successful and campy Spring/Summer ‘10 collection, Dsquared2 designers Dan and Dean Caten are moving on to a make-up line with MAC. Why stop with their edgy clothes when they offer an amazing make-up set?
Focusing on eyes and cheekbones, the Canadian twins provide you with the optimal tools to perfect the sultry, smoky look (hey, it is MAC, after all), with items starting at $17.50.
Unfortunately, like all good things in the fashion world, the collection is only available for a limited time on MAC’s website. Speaking of which, if you need any advice on applying your newly purchased Sculpt and Shape Powder ($21), apparently MAC’s make-up artists are available Monday through Friday until 10 p.m. EST to assist you via live chat. In other words, why drag yourself out of bed to get to the MAC store when you can sit your lazy arse on your computer chair and get the same help? That’s what I thought.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Models, News, Sales, Men, Women, Accessories, Footwear,
You saw the images of Jimmy Choo’s H&M line. Now you can get a better experience and effect from the collection when you watch the ad campaign, which features Sasha Pivovarova and Edita Vilkeviciute.
Hopefully you’re doing a better job than I am at saving up for the line, which hits stores November 14th in 200 stores across the country. One must also note that, unlike the other lines released on Thursdays, this one comes out on a Saturday (and it’s Jimmy Choo!)... Just sayin’.

Christian Louboutin Goes to the Dolls
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales, Women, Accessories, Footwear,
For the most iconic and stylish doll around, it was no wonder that Barbie decided to finally team up with famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin. From the looks of the newly-reinvented doll and her photo book diary, Louboutin didn’t let our girl down.
“Barbie has a long history of working with various designers and artists who use Barbie as a muse… It was a natural for Barbie, not only with her fashion heritage, but also because of her passion for shoes. She has a billion shoes and we needed to do something special for her shoe collection,” said Stephanie Cota, senior vice president of marketing of Barbie brands at Mattel.

First Look: Rodarte For Target
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women, Accessories, Dresses,
Although its due date isn’t until December 20th, pictures of Rodarte’s Target line have surfaced on the internet, and now I’m even more anxious!
Not only do I want the Madonna-esque gloves and mustard (yes, that’s right) lace dress, but I think that I just may be more upset after having seen the images—my closet cannot wait two months for those pieces.
I have to admit that the ribcage graphic print dress (seen after the jump) is one that I do not fancy; however, there are 54 other pieces in the collection. Why can’t it be December 20th already?

Betsey Johnson Wants TV Diffusion Line
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales, Women,
As rumors continue to circulate around Betsey Johnson’s desire for a diffusion line, the playful designer speaks out on her ideal shopping platform: television.
“I want to do television, like QVC or HSN. That’s in talks. I let the talkers do the talk. I jump in at the end,” Johnson revealed, when quizzed on the hopefully-upcoming line.
If she had to pick between the two networks?
“I like QVC because I’ve done it for breast cancer, T-shirts and stuff over the years. And my dentist is a big QVC-er. And Stan Herman from the CFDA, he does QVC. And my lingerie company does QVC. It just seems more QVC-y to me, in terms of my collaborations with companies.”
While she may be pretty young at heart (and in her clothes), Johnson admits that she has a slight fear of new technologies.

Karl Lagerfeld Defends Thin Models
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Women,
Living fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld has blasted “fat mummies” for their attitudes against skinny models.
The 71-year-old Chanel designer criticized Brigitte magazine’s announcement that they will only use “ordinary, realistic” models in future, insisting that people prefer looking at slim women and the “absurd” decision was driven by overweight women who did not want to be reminded of their body problems.
“These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly. Fashion is all about dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.”
Another designer, John Ribbe, has also spoken out, saying the row over models’ weight is becoming hysterical: “It’s just as much a cliche as saying that all models take drugs and get drunk at sex orgies. Ninety per cent of them are quite normal, properly proportioned girls with less fat and more muscles who also eat pizzas and burgers.”
Brigitte are planning to release their first edition with non-professional models on January 2nd and are urging readers to sign up for photo sessions, saying that they are tired of having to “fatten up” pictures. Editor Andrea Lebert said, “We will show women that have their own identity—the 18-year-old A-level student, the company chairwoman, the musician, the footballer.”
