Fashion First
Confirmed by the recent ladies runways, this forecast of the must-have colors for Spring 2012 promises a beautiful season to come. Clear, warm brights of poppy, and geranium through to canary are countered by refreshingly cool tiffany blue and hyacinth. Honey and sandstone offer a neutral break from the color festivities of S/S 2012. Courtesy of Fashion Snoops, where the full report is available to subscribers only.
Opening ceremony has a lot going on for their carnival-themed Fashion’s Night Out bash in and around their Ace Hotel store location.
Firstly, the beloved indie department store will announce this year’s country of focus: Argentina. They’ll be partnering with 125-year-old Argentinean textile company Alpargatas to create limited edition shoes and clothing inspired by traditional Argentinean styles–in particular, they’ll be hawking jupe-soled Alpargatas (aka espadrille-like slip-ons), which, in case you hadn’t guessed, were pioneered by the company. Opening Ceremony will also carry Argentine designers, including JUNGLE Vi.Ai.Pi., Ale Sly, and Chicco Ruiz, to customize styles, colorways, and fabrications for the retailer and brand–all of which will become available this September.
Best of all though, is that Miss Piggy (yes, really) will be stopping by the brand’s store in the Ace Hotel this Fashion’s Night Out. Why you ask? To unveil her new collection with the brand, Muppets x Opening Ceremony a.k.a the best news I’ve heard all morning ! No word yet on what the line will include, but I’m hoping for some very fuzzy faux-fur coats and diva-worthy boas.
Other highlights from Opening Ceremony’s Fashion’s Night Out bash include live dance performances outfitted by Alexander Wang, Proenza Schouler, Suno, and Opening Ceremony; a raffle to win a PS1 hosted by the Proenza Schouler boys, a magic show hosted by the Rodarte girls; a Tumblr-sponsored photo booth that will have your pretty mugs uploaded in real time to the brand’s just-unveiled Tumblr, and so, so much more.
Just because you’re not a kid anymore doesn’t mean you don’t deserve new supplies. For most, the end of August will always feel like the true new year — a time for new clothes, new pencils, and a whole new start. So, in the spirit of back-to-school, we’ve gathered up 24 scholarly essentials — re-imagined and guaranteed to make for a very chic re-entry, no matter your age.
Those of you that follow me on twitter know that I am in Vegas right now for the MAGIC show, Project and Capsule. I will be posting pictures soon of what I saw and what clothing lines you guys should be looking out for. See you soon 🙂
Stack it up with the latest Lulu Frost for J.Crew collection, available in stores and online today. Inspired by Lulu Frost designer Lisa Salzer’s personal collection of antique brooches, belt buckles and pins, the capsule features a total of 14 Art Deco-influenced pieces — all in bright hues with sparkly Czech crystal accents. There are several high-gloss resin bangles (perfect for layering), a selection of colorful stone-and-crystal pendants, and a trio of elegantly geometric earrings.
Ranging in price from $45 to $135, the collection marks the second collaboration for Lulu Frost and J.Crew — a four-piece capsule was offered last year, for Holiday 2010.

I am a huge fan of Andy Warhol, in turn, a huge fan of this collection!! Andy Warhol x Incase has announced today the second release of designs in the Incase for Andy Warhol Collection. “The latest collection release highlights Warhol’s artistic range, featuring imagery from works in a variety of media including silkscreening (Elvis, Advertisements), film (Empire) and hand-drawing (Telephone, Do It Yourself Flowers). Iconic Warhol images turn Incase’s signature protective cases and bags for iPhone, iPad and MacBook into functional pieces of art, a tribute to the great American artist’s affinity for technology and its place in contemporary culture and the arts.”
The Incase for Andy Warhol Collection will be available today at goincase.com, with a limited range to follow at Apple retail and discerning boutiques worldwide.
