Fashion First
Fresh off the news that its launching US e-commerce next month, Zara has released its Fall 2011 ad campaigns. Stella Tennant returns as face of the brand, shot by David Sims in the main collection’s dark, masculine silhouettes, while Hailey Clauson models a brighter selection of pea coats and miniskirts from the retailer’s TRF range. Are you excited for this new collection as I am? I love the sophistication in all of the looks. Each piece stands on its own… I can’t wait!
With just over a month before New York Fashion Week, show news is already starting to trickle in. For the first time, Tory Burch, Marchesa, and Timo Weiland are all said to be ditching presentations for runway shows; Mark Fast is showing his Faster line in New York instead of London this season; and now, J.Crew is on the preliminary schedule for what appears to be a presentation on the morning of Sept. 13. Very exciting!!
Missoni’s highly-anticipated, gigantic collection for Target will encompass everything from mens and womens clothes to accessories to furniture to candles to bicycles. It’s basically a whole lifestyle brand in one collection. So, it’s exciting to see how they would translate this into an ad campaign. Some behind-the-scenes shots emerged in May, so we were able to get glimpse of the Mod ’60s-inspired vibe of the campaign. We’re still dying to see the commercial, but for now here’s a glimpse into the colorful, zig zag-y world of Missoni for Target, starring Margherita herself
Back in June you’ve seen a peek of the H&M x UNICEF All for Children campaign photos and a few stills of the products, now here’s a detailed look. I’m so in love with the kids collection. The little lamb with a closet full of a mini clothes is a must get, you can have your kid dress up his/her little lamb! Super chic collection!
The collection will be available in 160 H&M stores worldwide and also on-line, 25% of all sales from the All for Children collection will go directly to support UNICEF’s projects to promote children’s rights to education and protection among vulnerable communities. Super cute. Super good cause 🙂

In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Great Lash, Maybelline introduces a special limited edition collection of its super popular mascara, one of America’s most popular mascara. I love this mascara always use it so it’s only right that I was excited when I got these new limited edition Maybelline Great Lash Mascara by Tracy Reese, Max Azria and Vivienne Tam. Each designer took inspiration from their own collection to create inspired, fresh takes on the iconic pink and green tube.
Max Azria Inspiration: “Maybelline has been backstage for BCBGMAXAZRIA’s runway shows for the past several seasons and I’m thrilled to be once again partnering with them on the 40th anniversary for their Great Lash Mascara. To bring the BCBGMAXAZRIA design aesthetic to such an iconic product is a true honor.” – Max Azria, Founder, Designer and Chairman of BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP
Tracy Reese Inspiration: “Great Lash Mascara is a timeless product; every woman knows the iconic green and pink packaging. I was excited to design limited-edition packaging in celebration of the 40th anniversary and chose a graphic floral print that exudes fun and femininity and complements the signature colors of the brand.” – Tracy Reese
Vivienne Tam Inspiration: “I’ve worked with Maybelline New York for the past several seasons of Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week. I’m delighted to work with them again to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Great Lash Mascara. My Great Lash design is adorned with the Chinese symbol for “Lash,” creating the perfect fusion of the Vivienne Tam and Maybelline esthetics. It’s the must-have beauty accessory for fashionistas this fall.”
Maybelline New York has partnered exclusively with Target to distribute the Great Lash Limited Edition collection for a limited time only starting in September 2011 for a suggested retail price of $6.99. I’M SO GETTING MORE… GET YOURS 🙂
Those of you that know me, know that I am obsessed with leopard print. So when I found out about this collaboration the only thought that crossed my mind was: WHERE IS MY PAIR??!!
The hallmark of the many collaborations between fragment design and Nike has been shoes that bear a simple, toned down aesthetic. These Nike Zoom All Court 2 Lows, then, featuring a canvas upper covered with an all over leopard print, represent an unabashed walk on the wild side. Available in three different colors, the Leopard Pack will be a Tier Zero release set to drop sometime this fall. via tenisufki.
I absolutely love the Hello Kitty for Sephora collections. Now for summer they’ve released a colorful graffiti collection! Hello Kitty Graffiti pays tribute to the daring graffiti artists that decorate Hello Kitty’s favorite downtown spots and includes a supercute makeup bag, a tiered palette which includes 4 luxurious eye shadows and 2 blush/bronzers, ‘rollergirl’ roll-on perfume, a compact mirror and a 5-piece brush set housed in a ‘to die for’ collectible, molded Hello Kitty Graffiti container. LOVE it! Shop it at Sephora stores and www.sephora.com . I know I will 😉
I AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEWS!! I LOVE ZARA 🙂
Last September, Zara launched e-commerce in select European countries, and this upcoming September, it’s finally the United States’s turn. A Zara rep has confirmed that the retailer’s US e-commerce site will launch Wednesday, Sept. 7, just before Fashion’s Night Out. A look at what will soon be available for purchase with a click of the mouse in the slideshow: a selection from Zara’s Fall 2011 collection, which just hit their website for perusal.
Lauren Conrad’s role in fashion has gone from the Cali girl everyone wanted to dress like to a budding designer with some actual talent–her latest line, Paper Crown, hit stores Saturday.
While on The Hills, millions of viewers watched Lauren Conrad cry over boyfriends and fight with Speidi. But what we were all really paying attention to–subconsciously or not–was the Laguna Beach native’s easy to emulate style.
Even with her reality days behind her,Conrad continues to inspire and fuel beauty and fashion trends. We’ve rounded up ten of LC’s signiture looks–from the ever popular side braid to her new tie-dyed ombre tresses (and matching nails).
On her new beauty website, the Beauty Department, Conrad lists ombre hair and nails as her latest obsession. The ombre look is all over Hollywood right now, but few have managed to master the look quite like LC.
