Elettra Wiedemann may be the daughter of Isabella Rossellini, BFF of Chris Benz, and a biomedical engineering student who has also recently founded JustOneFrickinDay.com, an organization that (among other projects) is raising funds to build the first solar-powered hospital in Kigutu, Burundi. Co-founded by James Marshall, the Burundi Solar Project has enlisted Chris Benz, House of Diehl, Rogan, Rag & Bone, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Giambattista Valli to each create an energy-inspired, limited edition t-shirt to be sold at JustOneFrickinDay.com.

The t-shirts, all made from 100% organic cotton, are available in men’s and women’s one size fits all and will sell for $60 each.  There are only 100 available in each style, and each is numbered.  A simpler style by House of Diehl, which served as creative consultants for the project, is also available for $30.

House of Diehl makes its way on the charts with a swift take on what’s in. The designs feature multiple versions of ruffles as well as sleek items that carry the more simplistic aspect of the collection. House of Diehl is a line composed of dresses, skirts, shirts, and pants that speak for themselves. There is a wide range of color use in all of their designs ranging from bold to subtle for a widely applauded balance. The dresses are risky, which is the main reason for their appeal. They were created by somebody who wanted to be impulsive in a way that could be justified; the designs say just that. The material use in the collection gives the clothing extra edge; it makes the piece unique beyond just the design itself. As models pose with the clothing in confidence it is clear that the expression on their faces is a tale that can be experienced with just a touch of House of Diehl flair.

Fresh from last year’s sold out US tour and the culminating Style Battle Championship Grand Finale, STYLE WARS returns this summer with a sexy, poolside event at Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City—under the largest glass dome in America.

Saturday, July 19^th @ Harrahs Casino Pool

777 Harrahs Blvd.

ATLANTIC CITY

10pm-1

Fusing the intensity and spontaneity of a rap battle with the glamor of a fashion show, House of Diehl invented STYLE BATTLING as the newest opportunity for rising American Fashion designers to make their name in the competitive arena of design. But IT’S COOL AT THE POOL, YEAH is more than just a Style Battle—it’s a poolside Style-a-palooza! There’s a live photo shoot, a fashion show and exposed backstage. Pursuing their “democratic approach to fashion”, House of Diehl has pulled aside the curtain on the elite world of fashion—from designing the clothes to shooting the campaign—to give the audience a fully interactive role in the live fashion experience as it unfolds.

And if you can’t make it, we will be there with a camera to bring you all the action. That’s right, the FI crew is traveling with the band and judges to cover the event, bringing you all the interviews, fashion, and fun you can handle.
