Fashion First
Colorful, hand-painted pearls and baguettes are back for Tom Binns’s Spring 2012 collection, mixed amongst sparkly Swarovski crystals and safety pins. Cameos get a neon dip-dye treatment and crystal collar necklaces are emblazoned with the words “Punk” or “Rich B*tch.” See below, currently available for preorder on Moda Operandi.
At the end of last month, Sidney Toledano, president and CEO of Dior, said he expected to have news on Dior’s new designer “in the next few weeks.” Not a day later came reports that talks between Dior and the front runner for the position, Marc Jacobs, had been tough and at a standstill.
Now, however, WWD reports: “Negotiations with Marc Jacobs . . . to become Dior’s next couturier have been progressing, sources said this week. It is understood . . . Phoebe Philo remains the preferred candidate to succeed Jacobs at Vuitton, should the American designer conclude a deal with Dior.”
Dior, which has now been without a creative director since March, reported that its revenues were up 17.6 percent in the third quarter — suggesting that the brand is more potent than the famous designer behind it.
I am absolutely in LOVE with these Alexander McQueen pumps!! Electric blue would be the ideal color for me but I wouldn’t mind the black. They are just the perfect combo of sexy but a little vicious!! SICK! What do you guys think?
I just got all the images from the Versace for H&M collection, and we’re slapping them up on the site as fast as we can cut and paste. Of note: the leather jacket, those prints, that iconic black dress, that pointed shoe, those belts! I LOVE all of those metallic dresses and the bags, but the good stuff is really getting us thinking about fine tuning our crowd battling strategy… How many more sleeps until November 17?

Hello, Miss Piggy! In celebration of her upcoming movie The Muppets—her first on-screen appearance in 12 years—the Notorious P.I.G. took a moment out of her busy schedule to pose for a photo shoot for InStyle’s November issue. Six designers created custom pieces for her, including Prabal Gurung (shown), Jason Wu, Brian Atwood, Suno, Opening Ceremony, and Giles & Brother. “Simply beautiful, yet deliciously exotic and enticingly romantic. Yes, I’m talking about myself—as well as this fabulous frock designed by my new BFF Prabal Gurung,” Miss P. says of this look. See all of her model moments in the November issue of InStyle, on newsstands Friday.

The women’s collection is flattering and full of dresses, while the men’s collection is very sophisticated. When I think about Versace I think of iconic items.

Gwen Stefani’s children’s line for Targetwon’t hit stores until November 13, but we just got our hands on the full look book so you can peruse what may be the most unique collection of clothing ever designed for those under the age of four.
Your kids may not understand what Harajuku means, but unless they possess the rare sophistication of Suri Cruise, they will probably love these clothes because they look like what an overstimulated child would pick out if left to his or her own devices. The line, which caters to infants, toddlers and tweens, is halloween costume-meets-ballerina-meets-schoolgirl. While your baby might get some weird looks for wearing a pink/floral/striped tutu with legwarmers or sweatpants with giant bunny ears on the butt, the clothes are, for the most part, practical and appropriate. You won’t find any kiddy lingerie here.
So, look below for all the clothes and accessories that Nicki Minaj is totally wishing came in her size. 😉
