Tom Ford Confirms Womenswear Line
Amen, amen I say to you! Tome Ford recently told WWD that he will, in fact, be launching a womenswear line “very soon.” Ford’s businesspartner, Domenico De Sole, is on the hunt for some financing, and once the monetary aspect is all squared away, we can expect a womenswear collection to hit the runways about 18 months after! I sense some of the best androgyny is lurking in the near future!

Angelina Jolie in Talks to Star In Gucci Movie

A new favorite fashion movie might be entering the ring. Ridley Scott is apparently courting Angelina to star in a new movie about murder and decadence in the pre-Tom Ford Gucci empire.
LOOKBOOK: the twentyten collection two

Brooklyn natives, the twentyten, have rolled out a second round of images for their amazing new collection! The pieces are by no means for the people who wish to go unnoticed, but what’s the fun in that?
QUOTE: Manolo Blahnik

“I hate celebrities. All those pointless girls — I won’t name names, but you know who I mean. They are ‘famous’. Ridiculous. I like women with style: actresses like Uma Thurman, icons like Audrey Hepburn. I like women with style to wear my shoes.”
COLLAB: El Delgado Buil x Kipling

The duo behind El Delgado Buil presented their capsule collection they created in collaboration with Kipling during their Spring/Summer 2010 show.
Jean Paul Gaultier To Do Target Collection

LOOKBOOK: Agyness Deyn for D.O.H.C Fall 2009 Campaign
Agyness Deyn has the gaudy hipster look down pat for the D.O.H.C Fall 2009 campaign. Accompanied by male models Jake Madden, Michael Gamdolfi and Drew Keilt, Deyn is in her element, modeling and DJing!
LOOKBOOK: Madeleine Thompson Spring 2010 Cashmere
It’s getting cold outside, and with the rapidly decreasing temperature, what sounds better than a nice cashmere sweater? Teasing my goosebumps is designer Madeleine Thompson and her cashmere collection for Spring 2010. Although the release of these pieces are a ways away, it’s nice to see some basic, layer ready, knitwear pieces.
FIRST LOOK: New York Couture Fairy-tale Collection
The latest collection from New York Couture is undoubtedly every little girl’s fantasy. The whimsy of all things fanciful, from unicorns to cupcakes and sparkles to fairy tale stories is abundant, and, as usual, New York Couture has embedded a sexy, body conscious appeal that makes these fairy tale pieces more relatable and wearable for adults.
Miu Miu Spring 2010: Playful Patterns

Miu Miu’s spring 2010 show in Paris brought about many different patterns. From shoes to jackets, a majority of the items were covered in playful images—cats, birds, and daises to name a few. The motif’s transcended beyond the garments as details on numerous bags that also were shown as part of the collection.

The images all made a bold statement down the runway, but my favorite had to be the cat design.
Desert Boot: Six Decades of Looking to the Past

To celabrate the 60th anniversary of the Desert Boots, Clarks Original takes us down the memory lane with their six new unique designs.
Ralph Lauren Needs To Re-Evaluate His Idea of “Fat”
Five-foot-eight, 120-pound model Filippa Hamilton-Palmstierna said goodbye to Ralph Lauren after four successful years for the label. But unlike models who get too old for the job, Hamilton-Palmstierna’s contract ran out because “of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with [Ralph Lauren].” According to Hamilton-Palmstierna, some obsessively photoshopped images (above) led her down the path to unemployment, her perfectly proportional body not up to the “skinny” modeling industry’s standards. Knock, knock- Hamilton-Palmstierna is NOT fat and photoshopped images are NOT real.

Detroit Fashion Week Is ‘Michigan’s Only Fashion Industry Event’



I had never heard that Detroit has a Fashion Week, but apparently they do. I’m sorry that I didn’t cover this, maybe next year, since you know, as the website says it’s Michigan’s “only fashion industry event.” That makes it sound so much more sad than exciting.
This year’s week was sponsored by the CW and showcased designs by Reco Chapple of Bravo’s ‘The Fashion Show,’ and Bianca Golden from one of the millions of seasons of America’s Next Top Model.

SHOP House of Holland: Pretty Polly Colour Card Tights, $16
I definitely didn’t expect the awesome House of Holland color blocking tights to be so inexpensive, but you can snag a pair for only £10.00 (that’s about $16). Factor in a little shipping and handling, and these beauties are yours for well under what you’d originally expect to pay for them! Pair these babies with a solid, black look, and you’ve got yourself one bold outfit!

FIRST LOOK: Nicholas Kirkwood Spring 2010 Footwear
Jak & Jil recently snagged a preview of Nicholas Kirkwood’s Spring 2010 footwear collection, and I must say, things are looking a bit juvenile and pixelated. Not sure how I feel about the obnoxiously bright and bold colors, but it’s Kirkwood, someone’s bound to love them! What do you think?
Rad Hourani’s Spring 2010 Collection Is Transformable!
All the more reason to go crazy over Rad Hournai’s Spring 2010 collection, here’s some proof that his most recent work is entirely versatile! I was lucky enough to attend Hournai’s show at Milk Studios this past Fashion Week, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who left wondering if the zippers were just detailing or if they actually unzipped! Wonder no more, because we’ve got photos to prove that several of these pieces are transformable, giving you several versions in one! Amazing!
