Fashion News Roundup: DKNY’s Million Dollar Perfume, Inappropriate American Apparel T-Shirts, and Jessica Stam’s Unbelievable Beauty Stash
By Mickie Meinhardt
DKNY’s Million Dollar Perfume Bottle: Dubbed the “DKNY Golden Delicious Million Dollar Fragrance Bottle”, it’s designed by jeweler Martin Katz and made of 14-karat yellow and white gold and 2,909 precious stones that form the NYC skyline. It will be sold to benefit the charity Action Against Hunger. {Luxuryes}
Good News For The American Garment Industry: A weak dollar may be bad for travellers, but it’s great for exporting. U.S. brands are moving manufacturing back stateside and both L.A. and New York have seen an increase in apparel manufacturing jobs–800 new jobs in July alone. {WWD}
Dov Charney Is Being Creepy, Again: American Apparel now sells this shirt reading “Teenagers Do It Better,” which goes really nicely with Charney’s multiple sexual harrassment charges (some of which were from actual teenagers). The shirt is a collab with teen mag Electric Youth, also famous for featuring young models in various states of undress. {Styleite}
Peek Inside Jessica Stam’s Makeup Cabinet: There’s enough products to make this more of a pantry than a cabinet, but luckily the model explains her faves. The highlights? Stam loves Herbal Essences shampoo and she uses Old Spice deodorant. Oh, and she baked 54 cookies last night. {Into The Gloss}
Create Your Own Instagram Photobook: The online publisher Blurb now allows you to connect your Instagram account to their site and create a 20-page softcover book with 40 images that can be edited and arranged into the easiest scrapbook ever. Prices start at $10.95. {Blurb}
Maybelline Becomes Official Makeup Sponsor Of Japan Fashion Week: They signed a three-year contract beginning with October’s spring/summer shows. This is the second big sponsor to get on board with Japan Fashion Week–it was recently picked up by Mercedes Benz– making Tokyo a bigger player in the international fashion week circuit. {WWD}
The Founder Of Tumblr Models For Uniqlo: Sort of. It’s actually a video on their website where he wears a comfy-looking grey sweater and talks about the birth of Tumblr and says “creative community” 80 times. {BuzzFeed}
