Art by Design: Picasso Inspires Marni & Vivienne Westwood

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

After a period of somber (and cheap) blue, Pablo Picasso broke out of his depression and into his Rose Period. ‘Twas a time of harlequins and acrobats, Parisian nightlife and a deep cheerfulness. The palette is a burning red, with yellow-orange accents and black and bronze undertones. Picasso’s two-year red phase started in 1904; get inspired by the turn of the century look.

Nicole Richie House of Harlow 1960 Summer 2010 Collection

Edited by The Fashion Web

Last week, Nicole Richie previewed her House of Harlow 1960 Summer 2010 collection on her site. I truly love her pieces. Her accessories always make a strong statement.

It’s a tribal inspired collection that features earrings, pendant necklaces, rings, and bracelets. According to Richie, “I designed this collection to really contrast the light, airy pieces in the latest Winter Kate collection with bright summer colors and pieces that can be stacked and layered to bring personality and edge to the whole look. Hope you like the pieces as much as I do…”

The House of Harlow 1960 Summer 2010 collection is available at online boutiques like Singer22. Price ranges from $45-$200.

THE TEN: Best Celebrity Clothing Lines

Edited by Princess Glover

Celebrity clothing lines are a dime a dozen nowadays, having become so unreasonably commonplace that it might be safe to say you’re not a real star unless you manage to churn out one (though you couldn’t even dress yourself without the help of a professional). I’ll be the first to say leave it the ones who know what they’re doing, but I will also say that there have been a few, very few that not only have managed to stay relevant as far as fashion is concerned, but exemplifies the true spirit of design: originality, creativity and quality–a rarity amongst the famous. Here are the exceptions:

1. Elizabeth and James by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen- because they don’t try so hard.

2. L.A.M.B by Gwen Stefani- the shoes are beyond dope.

3. J.Lo, Sweetface by Jennifer Lopez- even though Sweetface went belly up, she’s the one that started it all, and don’t act like you’ve never owned (or wanted to own) at least one pair of her jeans or one of those ghetto fabulous velour sweatsuits. Guilty.

4. Kate Moss for Topshop- a fashionista’s wet dream

5. House of Harlow by Nicole Richie- hate the girl, love the jewelry.

6. Benjamin Bixby by Andre 3000- gettin his grown man on.

7. Twenty8Twelve by Sienna Miller- Does she still qualify as a celebrity? Nonetheless spring/summer 09 is looking pretty good…

8. Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony- hipster chic at its finest.

9. The Victoria Beckham Collection- this shameless clotheshorse knows her shit.

10. William Rast by Justin Timberlake- I think we were all surprised that this didn’t turn out as bad as we had assumed.
