Fashion First
I mentioned this last week but just found some more detailed pics and video Marie Claire UK. This is just a peek because it’s a 70-piece collection! The collection is slated to hit net-a-porter.com on January 25, 2012 – I can’t wait to see the whole collection! Prices range from $50 for a canvas bag to $1,000 for some of the leather pieces. What are your favorite pieces?
This season, skip the ironic reindeer sweater and go for gorgeous instead. From safety-pinned snowflakes to sequined lightning bolts, these glammed-up knits toe the line between chic and cheeky — without sacrificing an ounce of style.
This holiday-perfect style — spotted during Paris Fashion Week at the Fall 2011 Junko Shimada show — combines the sophistication of classic red with the playfulness of this year’s brights for a lip look that really pops. To replicate, use an angled brush to apply an orange-ish red just to the outer edge of lips, then gently fill in the center of lips with a vibrant fuchsia. Use a finger to gently blend the line outward. Keep the look chic by choosing lip colors of similar vibrancy and opaqueness, and be sure to leave the rest of the face minimal — a light sweep of shimmer across the eyes and a bit of mascara are all you need. See below for our picks to make this style yours, now. Love it!
Christian Louboutin’s hard-hitting spiked silver leather pumps make punk-rock chic look as glamorous as ever. Take a tough-luxe approach to cocktail dressing and wear these edgy shoes with a lace top and fluorescent skirt – make sure to keep legs bare for maximum impact. My ultimate New Years shoe!!!!!
A while ago Pharrell Williams announced that he was about to launch the Billionaire Girls Club line. After having founded the male collection, Billionaire Boys Club, in 2005 together with A Bathing Ape founder NIGO, it was only a matter of time before he launched this collection. Before offering a full season collection, they are releasing a few t-shirts and vests, which will be exclusively stocked in the BBC online store and at select retailers around the globe.
For now nothing exciting, but I’m definitely looking forward to check out the actual full collection.
The season’s most perfect boot might just be one that’s lined in fur. Whether elegantly sleek like Manolo Blahnik’s mink version or tough and rugged like YSL’s beaver-cuff pair, one thing’s for sure: these boots exude just the right amount of cold-weather cool. See below 🙂
MAC’s Senior Vice President/Group Creative Director, James Gager, once said that MAC likes to collaborate with people who no one else would “ever think of using in a million years.” Exhibit A? Meet MAC’s new face, Iris Apfel.
Her line will debut on January 5, and follows closely on the heels of fellow fashion eccentric, Daphne Guinness‘ collection. It’s a full line, complete with five lipsticks (my fave is called Loudmouth Orange), lip pencils, and eye shadows like Howzat, a sparkly grey. It’s rounded out by mascara (gotta make your eyes pop through those glasses, right?), a peachy “beauty powder,” and three nail lacquers–a bright blue, bright fuchsia and a neutral.
AMAZING… can’t wait ! 😉
Here’s a sneak peek of Karl Lagerfeld’s next fashion venture for Net-a-Porter.com, which launches on the January 25 2012.
Metallic gold — whether in the form of brocade, sequins, or lamé — is never more a wardrobe staple than this time of year. And, with the abundance of gilded looks on the runways for Spring 2012, it seems that shiny threads are definitely here to stay. Click through for 12 gorgeous ways to wear what’s arguably the luxest look around — from day to night to every moment in between — as seen on the streets of recent Fashion Weeks.

She’s an Oscar winning film writer. And one of Marc Jacobs’s muses. So it’s perhaps an understatement to say I’m pretty excited about seeing Sofia Coppola’s campaign video for Marni’s new collection for H&M. The high street retailer announced today that they’ve signed up Sofia to film the advertisment, which will run online and on TV, early next year.
“I enjoyed doing this film for the Marni at H&M collaboration. I think it’s great how they make fashion accessible and I wanted to show the fantasy fashion can bring,’ Sofia said of the shoot in Marrakech. ‘Consuela Castiglioni [the Marni Creative Director] seems really sincere and cares about what she does and I appreciate that.”
The campaign – which was shot in Morrocco – will no doubt showcase some of the best bits from the Marni for H&M line. The collection, which includes womenswear, menswear and accessories will hit 260 stores nationwide and online on 8 March 2012.
Thanks to the video teaser H&M released two weeks ago I know the collection will stay faithful to Marni’s classic traits – intense prints, a clever colour combination (how much do you love the way that sharp neon green and slubby brown go together), and wickedly bold jewellery.I’ve already got my eye on some silver court shoes and the plastic flower necklace and… oh, you get the picture.
“Collaborating with H&M has been an exciting challenge,’ said Consuelo Castiglioni, Marni’s Creative Director at the time. ‘I’m very proud of the result. Everything has the same level of quality craft and attention to detail Marni is known for.’ And she approves of the Sofia connection, too. ‘I’m a big fan of her movies, in particular of her vision and aesthetic. It was fantastic that she worked on this project; her interpretation is remarkable and full of atmosphere.”
