“Through the years Brooks Brothers has famously dressed high profile individuals including nearly every American president, captains of industry and countless actors and actresses for appearances both on and off screen,” said Claudio Del Vecchio, Brooks Brothers Chairman & CEO. “Kermit the Frog is an international legend admired by children and adults alike. Naturally we hopped at the chance to create his clothing.”

“I was very excited about my new wardrobe,” said Kermit. “I don’t often wear clothes but when I do I want something classic and expertly tailored,” he added.

“Brooks Brothers was the perfect match and fit for me,” said Kermit. “Growing up as a tadpole in a swamp with 3,265 brothers and sisters, you can imagine that I had a lot of hand-me-downs. I love the fact that these items were made exclusively for me.”

Love it, adorable, we can’t get enough. Disney’s The Muppets opens in theaters November 23.

Hugh Hefner, reportedly unhappy with LiLo’s first Playboy shoot, had the professional ex-convict come back to the manse for a second photoshoot with a second photographer. But fear not pervs, the Lohan Playboy issue is still scheduled to hit newsstands for January. However, don’t expect her to go all spread eagle because this is a classy affair. We’re talking tits out but panties on. Because she’s a frikkin’ lady and don’t you frikkin’  forget it! [E!]

*Sidebar: Can we talk about how the Lohan has spent more time behind bars than most rappers, which I think is a sad commentary on the state of hip-hop today. When a white girl from Long Island who was a Disney star before puberty has more street cred than you, it’s time to hang up the mic and call it a day.

Princess Elizabeth of Geisler: Princess Jasmine, those harem pants are to die, and then I could wear that ring with the turquoise in the center and pink around the outside and it would perfectly match my ensemb!

Princess Katherine of Jurado: I would most want to be Princess Grace. A beautiful screen actress and a princess? She had the career and life every little girl dreams of. Plus, she had gorgeous style that is still relevant despite decades of change and trends. Princess Grace’s style and elegance has lasted the test of time. Who wouldn’t want to be known as a fashion icon and a princess?

PrincessTashur of Frink: I would definitely want to be Disney Princess Tiana, mainly because she was determined to pursue her dreams and motivated to do so.

Congratulations to our beautiful princesses. Long live the Ring!

Jeggings sales doubled to $178 million in 2010, while  sales of women’s jeans remained as flat as the tweens gobbling up this two-year old trend.

Well, that’s it. Now that that accursed Disney crowd is getting their grubby little prepubescent hands on them, jeggings will officially be over within a year.

“As the AP reports, a 58-year-old resident of the 11,000-person hamlet was murdered in his home over the Thanksgiving weekend, scarring the magic Disney (well, OK, Disney gave up control of the place some years ago) town irrevocably.”

And just in time for the holidays! I guess it was a Grindhouse Thanksgiving for these folks.

Annie Leibovitz shamefully put her name on these photos from next month’s Vogue. The fact that Anna Wintour let this monstrosity anywhere near those hallowed pages, in Dior no less, proves what I’ve been saying for years: that Anna Wintour’s been dead for the past ten years and staffers have just been dressing up a broom in a bob and giant sunglasses to keep up appearances.

How else can you explain this?

This week I thought I’d share some of my favorite looks by Rebecca Minkoff.  She’s such a talented designer and makes really beautiful, edgy pieces perfect for day to night looks.

I love how her handbags are made of such gorgeous leather and made cool with heavy hardware like bronzed zippers and metal studs!  Her jackets are really great too, the motorcycle jacket and cape (seen in the gallery below) are going to keep me stylish and warm all winter.

Definitely a look I’d rock to classes or to performances at The Red Lion, Minkoff’s bags just fit my life in the right way. Love her and hope one day I’ll be able to meet her in person.

The movie sounds lame, but I think this shoe was a cool idea to get the attention of people who don’t really care (like me). It will retail for $795 and be sold at the Tron pop-up shop in Los Angeles this November.

The reason that Akira is such a killer nominee for this Friday feature is that it’s probably the most detailed animated film ever made.  It literally puts anything Disney has ever done to shame.  Factor in that the movie takes place on such a massive scale (a re-imagining of post-World War III Tokyo) that there’s a helluva lot of detail.

Based on Ôtomo’s as of then yet-unfinished manga (it just gets nerdier and nerdier, doesn’t it?) the film starts off extremely strong focusing on a group of teenage reprobates and secret military experiments but soon loses its way.  Fortunately for those of us who like looking at beautiful things, however, it never loses its style.  So, with that, on to the outfits!

As stated above: super-macro.  The outfit that pops out most is the man in the yellow chinos.  It’s getting towards the end of pastel season (i.e. Spring is being burned to death) but it’s always a good/super-preppy look when someone gets all Nantucket on their own ass with a basic blue oxford and some colored slacks.  Then there’s Mr. Punk I and Mr. Punk II to the left with looks reminiscent of the most recent Balmain men’s collection.  Leather jackets with a little bit of prep mixed in (a button down and olive green slouch neck sweater).  Who knew cartoons could dress so damn well?

But Ôtomo can go super-micro too.  If you want to look like a teenage derelict/leader of a futuristic bike gang, here’s how you do it, from head to toe.  Check the fit on all the items: slightly oversized polo to let the cool breeze in, cropped just-slim-enough chinos, killer mid-top white sneaks.

Second from the left, and the guy all the way towards the right.  Neither of these characters plays a major role in the film.  In fact, the rightmost character might not even have a line.  Nevertheless, both of these guys have got it going on.  Hello Joe Strummer, and hello sweet shearling collar overcoat.  We’ll refrain from commenting on the cutoff graphic tee on the left.

The girls get in on the action too, of course.  From left to right, some real-world finds.  Honestly, this movie’s like a schizophrenic sketchbook come to life mixed with a lot of Mad Max, Max’s Kansas City, and, uh…Max Fischer.  It’s totally max, basically.

Check the gallery and see if you can match the following with their pictures.  It’s like one of those quizzes on children’s placemats at roadside diners.  Or, you know, don’t.  Whatever you do, pick up Akira (or watch it on YouTube).  Enjoy all the pretty pictures, pretend to soak up the philosophy and the Kubrick-ian 2001-style ending.  When else can you say you’re-a-learnin’ while watchin’ car-toons?

M.A.C and Disney have finally linked arms for their newest collection. The line of cosmetics will feature liners, glosses and even a ton of nail lacquers! Disney’s part in this becomes pretty apparent with names such as “Toxic Tale” and “Cruella De-Vil” eye shadow. Venomous Villains is set to hit M.A.C stores this September.

You’ll have to wait until the fall to see which four Disney characters M.A.C. Cosmetics took inspiration from for a limited edition collection announced in today’s WWD.

The collection will be called Venomous Villains, so we’re wondering who’s the fairest one of all? Will we see hints of Cruella DeVille of “101 Dalmations,” Ursula of “The Little Mermaid” or the Queen from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?”

The line will include lipstick, lip gloss, powder and blush and will retail for $12 to $29.50.

The brand isn’t revealing much about the the line, but we’re hoping for beauties, not beasts.

Disney has been making waves in the fashion world of late, most recently with Disney Couture’s launch of a “The Little Mermaid” inspired jewelry line, and partnerships to promote Spring 2010′s “Alice in Wonderland,” including a ring collaboration with H. Stern, and Alice-inspired costume jewelry with fashion designer Stella McCartney

We talked about the collaboration two days ago, but now we’ve got your first peek at Stella McCartney’s line for Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. Love these charm bracelets, highly covetable.

This is possibly the most provocative t-shirt collection I’ve seen to date, but the designers at Passarella Death Squad certainly have creativity and a sense of humor on their side. It’s not everyday that you see porno snippets mixed in with postcard pieces, Disney characters and magazine covers! Love it!

Since the new Hannah Montana movie made $34 million at the box office, it’s safe to say that her fan base of sugar high, musty young girls and horny, greasy palmed, lurkin’n'lonely old men couldn’t have given a hot colonic about the tragedy she unleashed at the actual premiere. There’s a stylist somewhere that deserves a glass of hot piss to the face for makig a lovely girl look like Penthouse ‘Hoe Dealin Of The Month’. Now no one told me Hannah Montana was going into porn! I mean, is this a showing for a Disney film or did we make a wrong turn and end up at a Jenna Jameson 4 hour featurette. I bet that dress comes with secret pocket filled with complimentary birth control snackin pills and flavored sugar free sexin rubbers. I mean it’s a Missoni, so I guess I should like it but for some reason I have the strong urge to tear up my mama’s house robe and make an attempt at couture, I mean a hoe rag……………and……………….and are those…………………are those Payless shoes?!?! Oh, the WHOREmanity! Miley is too cute to be lookin like someone’s weekend tasty treatz!

Today is the day of adult fairy tales. The Italian clothing line Meltin’ Pot has a set of ads that hint at some childhood favorites. Photographer Eugenio Recuenco artistically perverses Disney classics like Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty with distorted paintings, strippers and jumper cables. The European denim line’s latest promotion turns Santa’s workshop into a full-out heist just in time for the holidays. Seeing Santa being cut in half with a saw is slightly disturbing but really cool as well.

According to Page Six, Paris Hilton is lobbying for her chance to play Tinkerbell in Disney’s live action version of Tinkerbell. This will be the first movie Paris could potentially be a part of where she wears more than a bikini, doesn’t play a dumb blond and isn’t deep-throating Rick Solomon’s cock. Paris, if Miley Cyrus taking cellphone pictures of herself in her underwear has Disney bleeding from their corporate cunts, there is no chance in hell your jizz infested ass is getting this role, stick to porn.

It Looks like Louis Vuitton got some free press, and who better to give it to them then the heart-throbbing boy band, the Jonas Brothers? Apparently, there is a scene in their new film Disney Digital 3-D which shows Louis Vuitton luggage being taken off of their jet. Typically designers would pay a pretty hefty check for press in the media (ex. Vitamin Water flaunts their beverages and labels all over Gossip Girl), but the Jonas Brothers basically gave away free advertisement in their film. I know what you’re thinking…the Jonas Brothers? Ew. I know, but think about all of those pre-teen girls influenced by the media. If they see Nick Jonas with the Messenger GM Bosphore in Monogram Canvas, odds are their fan base is going to want one too! All in all, Louis Vuitton will probably do pretty well this holiday season.

You may think I am overreacting or that this is a bit over the top, but believe me when I say that there are times I look at Rihanna and the sight of her makes me wish I was blind. What the hell is this? She makes Marilyn Manson look hot, and he performed an entire show with ass-less pants on once. I thought we cleared up this whole thigh high boot situation with her once already too. She is trying way to hard to be this trendy bondage goddess, when all it’s doing is making her huge hips look even bigger. The worst part about the whole situation is that she is praised on all these TV networks (Disney and Nickelodeon), yet she continues to publicly floss her ass and cooch on stage. Seriously Rihanna, I think that all the 15 year olds in the front row were puking everywhere because they drank too much Apple Schnapps from their parents liquor cabinet before the show, I think it’s because they had front row seats to a view of your birth canal.

Thanks Rihanna Photos well…for the photos

With Miley Cyrus’ inevitable falling out with Disney not so far off in the future. Nickelodeon is trying to push their new stars into the spot light. Now as much as I hate giving into these new school teenie bopper kids, their impact on their demographic is ridiculous. If you think that designers and fashion people just turn a blind eye to them because of who they are and what they do you’re a fool. Victoria Justice of Nickelodeon fame Zoey 101, is bound to rank up their with Demi Lovato, The Jonas Brothers and Selena Gomez as one of the popular kids stars. Although Victoria can give that Urban Outfitters catalog vibe at times, she had potential and I can definitely see her getting draped in some fine designers in the near future. So don’t be surprised when you see her looking good in some upcoming pictures, because I told you so!

Thanks to Just Jared for the pictures.

Yeah, you heard me. I think I am just about done wasting an hour of every Wednesday night watching Season 5 of Project Runway. The fashion is awful, the drama is ridiculous and I think that the producers have just about run out of creative challenges. Let’s have a little rundown of the designs (from left to right), shall we?”:

Jerrell won last night’s challenge. How? I didn’t know that crumpled grocery bags constitutes as appropriate material for an evening-gown. Not only is the material awful, so are the hems. This dress looks completely thrown together and unfinished. The boobs are totally out of place, and if you ask me, it looks like Jerrell closed his eyes and threw jewels at them. Where will they land…nobody knows. 

I think Kenley missed the memo…this is Project Runway, not Project Ursula for The Little Mermaid on Broadway. This dress isn’t at all reminiscent of a flower, maybe a nightmare where Godzilla made an appearance, but definitely not a delicate flower. Oh, and Kenley’s attitude last night was one I’ll never forget: “Wahhh my life was so hard. My dad was a tugboat conductor.” Boo hoo. Go cry yourself a river and ask your dad to sail you away from the fashion world. Perhaps you’d be better at acting.

Korto started out with the right inspiration, but it all went downhill from there. Her tangerine orange gown screams “bad prom dress” and doesn’t seem to have any sophistication at all. The tailoring on the bust was all off…her model seemed cold, if you catch my drift. Much thanks to Korto for hiding her extra tulle and beating Kenley in WWF smack-down backstage. 

Leanne probably had the best design of the night, although periwinkle and the random chunk of purple fabric spilling out of the model’s butt didn’t do it for me. The dress looked a little too Disney princess and not enough high fashion gown. 

Of course, the producers “surprised” us again and sent all four designers home to complete their collections. I might have overreacted and I probably will watch the last two episodes, but let’s pray that the 3 months the designers are alloted to complete their looks bring some fashion sense into their lives. Amen. 

Thanks NY Magazine!

Oh Mischa, this look is not at all becoming for someone who claims to be fashionable.

There are all kinds of wrong here. The cream doily dress looks like it came straight off your grannies night stand. And no one cares if you can afford a Chanel bag and Christian Louboutin’s, the iconic brand items only work when worn A) ironically or B) when your broke, cause no one gives a fuck when rich folks were them.  Plus, do you not read Fashion Indie?  Christian Louboutin’s are officially deceased.

Also, Disney, you couldn’t opt for a red carpet for your Childhood Aids foundation?  Good job on showing the kids how little you actually care.
