WTF!?!: Narciso Rodriguez Possible eBay Collection
Monique Montagnese, Contributor September 10 at 1:58
Read More:Diffusion Line, ebay, narciso rodriguez
I’m all for lower priced diffusion lines and Target, H+M and Topshop collaborations; I may not be willing to brave the lines and fierce elbowing that it takes to come home with one of these pieces before they sell out but I think they are great for the industry. Taking that into consideration, I should theoretically be %100 behind the idea of this eBay collection. No lines, no pushing, just the simple click of a mouse and the ease of PayPal. Something about this just seems wrong to me, isn’t eBay the internet version of Chinatown? Fake bags everywhere, counterfeit items complete with fake tags and purchasing receipts? Just saying, as a designer this would not be my first go-to collaboration. If you’re thrilled pay attention: the possible eight piece collection would range from $75 to $350. Let the bidding wars begin.

SHOP The Family Vintage starting at $9.99

Vintage clothing has always been a bit of a secret passion of mine. Back in the day, when momma Saynt couldn’t afford to get us name brand, we’d shop spots like Salvation Army, Goodwill, and a slew of NYC vintage shops for my wardrobe. Growing up poor gave me a broader appreciation for well made clothes and an undoubting hatred for moths (vile dusty butterflies, if you ask me).
I guess that’s one of the reasons I love The Family Vintage, an ebay shop run by one of our cult members. Check out what they have in store this week.

A new, limited-edition recycled denim collection, arriving just in time for the Earth Day fuss, has united Alexander Wang, Bottega Veneta, Derek Lam, Rodarte, Rogan, Stella McCartney, Versace, and Ann Demeulemeester.
Last summer Barney’s New York collected recycled denim, which these top designers have fashioned into outfits. The exclusive designs, now in a window display at Barney’s, will go up for auction on eBay April 30, starting at 99 cents each. All proceeds will benefit Oceana, “the largest international advocacy organization focused 100 percent on protecting and restoring the world’s oceans.”
ELLE has even chipped in with a David Armstrong-shot editorial in their May 2009 issue.
Project Blue is working on the stat that less than 2% of clothing thrown out in the US is actually worn out. Alternatives, of course, include buying and giving away used clothes, or re-fashioning and re-purposing old clothing, as these featured designers have done.

IS MENTAL Says eBay Is A Valid Shopping Source As Well!

Our good friends over at IS MENTAL found these really cool sparkly booties on eBay, which totally had me thinking why not eBay? Thrifting has become/has been a major staple in completing some of the coolest NYC fashions, and if you think about it eBay is the biggest thrift store of them all. Can’t find that vintage YSL jacket you loved back in 2004? Try eBay. I will admit that I haven’t had the time to search through the massive world that is eBay, but the IS MENTAL folks do quite often. They are constantly posting the treasures they find on eBay, and I love it! Thanks for the cool boots guys.
Martin Margiela Likes Money

First there was the $11 wallet, now the $22 shoes…what’s next? $44 bag! Do you all see the pattern?
Found on Ebay, these shoes were originally $645, now are a mere $102. But are they wearable? Some might think that these are quite ironic, but I must agree with AlwaysInStyle, “people would stoop down to pick up what they thought was a windfall.”
What do you guys think?
Thanks NY Mag for pointing this out
The Annotated Anna Wintour

Hey did you catch the Anna Wintour painting at Fashion Week by artist Geoffrey Raymond?
Here’s the before:
Raymond said of the work:
“I usually paint Wall Street movers and shakers, but I’m having a Fashion Week moment and have been gathering annotations on my portrait of Anna Wintour outside Bryant Park this week. Interesting the amount of people who obviously want to write something but aren’t comfortable doing so. Meanwhile, a man from Vogue dropped by and said, “Anna’s not going to like this.” I told him I didn’t understand why not—the painting is relatively flattering and most of the comments are nice enough. He just shook his head.”
And here is the end result:
Comments included:
—”Love you or hate you, they all have an opinion of you. Own it!”
—”You look great without the sunglasses”
—”Hi Anna—I want a pass to the Vogue party”
—”All is fair in love and war”
—”I think the table of contents should be at the front of the magazine. Who’s got time?”
—”Enjoy the moment ’cause that’s how it is. Aliona Doletskaya will eat your lunch.”
—”Scaaary!!”
—”Relax Anna. Don’t be too serious!!”
Like the work? It could be yours starting at $3,500! The artist is selling the Wintour work on Ebay! You may want to hurry up, the sale ends on Saturday at 11 am.

LV Wins More $

Louis Vuitton won yet another victory yesterday in its never-ending trademark-protection crusade, this time against Sony BMG. In a legal dispute just slightly more glamorous than LVMH’s recent ones with eBay, Sony BMG has agreed to pay Louis Vuitton 100,000 euros, or $155,830. Louis Vuitton got upset with the music giant because they used its Toile Monogram and Multicolore trademarks in music videos and on CDs by Britney Spears, Ruben Studdard, and Da Brat.
For example, in her “Do Something’” video, Britney appears driving through the clouds with her sexy girl entourage* in a pink hummer with a pink dashboard embossed with Louis Vuitton’s signature pattern (which flashes on the screen for literally less than a second).What makes the LVMH legal team seem even more spectacular is they’ve already won $240,000 in the Spears and Da Brat cases over the last five years. These guys are seriously cracking down on copywriting, good for them!!!
Thanks NY Mag for the info.
Italian Vogue On Ebay

We know that the ‘all black’ issue of Italian Vogue was a hit. But does anyone really want to spend $45 on ebay to buy a copy? After it’s initial release, Vogue Italia rushed to reprint 30,000 extra copies for American newsstands, another 10,000 for Britain and 20,000 more in Italy. Now the folks that bought it think they can make bank by reselling them. Why is everything about $?
Hermès Wins Fight Against Ebay

Hermès International scored a court victory Wednesday against eBay for selling counterfeit luxury goods.
Quoting a judgment from France’s Tribunal de Grande Instance in Troyes, Hermès said eBay, plus the individual seller, had “committed acts of counterfeit” and “prejudice” against it by failing to monitor the authenticity of goods being sold on its Web site.
In a verdict billed as a first in France, it is understood eBay was ordered to pay 20,000 euros, or $31,058 at current exchange, in damages, though Hermès declined to confirm the amount.
In a statement, Hermès said the win marks “an important step in the fight against counterfeiting.”
EBay said it takes counterfeiting seriously and since the Hermès case was brought has put new procedures in place to fight it by more closely scrutinizing sellers.
Europe’s luxury players are becoming increasingly vigilant in the fight against fakes.
As reported, Christian Dior was awarded 150,000 euros, or around $230,000, in damages last April when it won a case against the French budget jewelry chain Camille & Lucie for peddling a style resembling the floral Diorette ring.

Iconic Bill Cosby Sweaters For Auction

Not everyone can be Dr. Cliff Huxtable, the quick-with-a-quip dad that Bill Cosby played on TV for eight years. But for the right price, you could dress just like him this Father’s Day.
Cosby’s daughter, Evin, said her mother and father were cleaning out a closet recently when they came across a batch of the sweaters her dad wore when he played Huxtable on NBC’s The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1992.
“I pounced on these sweaters,” she said Thursday, adding she figured they could help a charity named for her brother, Ennis, raise a substantial amount of money.
Now three of them are going up for sale on eBay, with the proceeds earmarked for the Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation.
The nonprofit organization, which raises money to benefit educational programs, is named in honor of Cosby’s only son, who was about to begin his doctoral studies when he was murdered in Los Angeles in 1997.
The auction is scheduled for June 2-12, with minimum bids set at $5,000.
“The price of what some of these sweaters might sell for could make a big difference in the lives of thousands of children,” said Evin Cosby.

Unfortunately, the update is that none of these sweaters have been bit on, not event the minimum asking price. Let’s see what happens tomorrow, it is for a good cause.
