The artist/musician Claire Boucher, known by her stage name Grimes, enchanted the fashion industry during the spring season with her ethereal “witch house” style of music (seriously, was there a show that didn’t feature her haunting songs?).
Now she’s receiving the ultimate stamp of fashion approval: Her own high-end collaboration.
We’ve been enamored with Paris-based up-and-comer Calla Haynes’s girly, playful-yet-understated designs for a few seasons now. Sadly, they’re not widely available and her dedication to using high-end, artisanal fabrics means gorgeous clothes but high price tags.
Enter Comptoir des Cotonniers, international purveyors of good-quality Parisian-cool basics at contemporary price points. The French brand has just tapped Calla for its first ever capsule collection and it sounds like a perfect fit.
There’s no doubt as to who the model of the season is.
Cara Delevingne, in all her goofy-faced glory, has walked damn near every major runway in New York and London, landed her first Vogue UK cover, and commands a massive audience on social media (over 470,000 followers on Twitter, 747,000 on Instagram). And while we know she can walk, today we learned something new about the Brit beauty: She can also sing!
Here’s your chance to get outfitted by Cher Coulter. The celebrity stylist best known for dressing super chic clients like Kate Bosworth, Elizabeth Olsen, and Sienna Miller has recently teamed up with denim label AG for her own capsule collection–the first of AG’s new “Stylist Series.”
We were lucky enough to get a sneak peek of Cher Coulter x AG at Scoop NYC’s Meatpacking outpost late last week–and even engage in a little Q and A with the very busy lady of the hour. Read on for more about Coulter’s design ambitions, whether she’ll do reality tv, and clients who learn a little too much from her.
![Matthew McConaughey Is Launching a Clothing Line [Insert Shirtless Joke Here]](http://fashionista.com/uploads/2013/02/145319641.jpg)
Matthew McConaughey is the latest in a long line of celebs to take a crack at starting a clothing line. But this one is different than your run of the mill celeb line, and despite the actor’s proclivity for appearing shirtless whenever possible, it makes sense–and it’s for a good cause.
So… here’s a celebrity clothing line we didn’t see coming. Eva Mendes has inked a deal with New York & Co to launch a clothing and accessories subbrand called Eva by Eva Mendes, WWD is reporting.
The Ladurée macaron has been the unofficial food of fashion week for the past few years (sorry, cupcakes are so 2009). Last September, Ladurée collaborated with Lanvin Creative Director, Alber Elbaz, to create a limited-edition bubblegum pink macaron and box. And next up: Reed Krakoff.
It’s become the norm that after a launch party for a designer collaboration, pieces available at the “pre-shop” end up on eBay within hours. The Prabal Gurung collection for Target, set to hit stores on February 10, is no exception.
Here’s everything you need to know about the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund x Nordstrom collab and why it’s a good idea.
Designers collaborating with high street stores is obviously not a new concept. But a just-announced project should challenge everyone’s current notion of designer collabs. Rather than working with one designer or label, Macy’s is teaming up with Made Fashion Week to create a line inspired by fashion industry influencers. Terry Richardson is involved, of course.
If the return of X-Girl or Bon Qui Qui (for Alexander Wang) is any kind of indication, it seems the fashion industry is not done indulging in ’90s nostalgia. And with today’s news that DKNY is teaming up with the cool kids at Opening Ceremony to reissue 15 styles from from the label’s early ’90s archives, we may have reached ’90s-nostalgia-saturation.
Not that we’re complaining.
Things are looking groovy–real groovy–at Uniqlo this spring.
The high-street retailer is collaborating with seminal ’60s designer Celia Birtwell on a capsule clothing collection to hit stores in the UK March 21, WWD is reporting.
For those of you who don’t know, Birtwell is one of London’s most iconic textile designers, forever associated with the city’s heady days in the ’60s and ’70s when she, along with her then-husband Ossie Clark, dressed the likes of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithful, Jimi Hendrix and more.
