Andy Spade Launches ‘Not Quite Ready-to-Wear’ to Sleep and Work In
Last night, new loungewear company Sleepy Jones rented out an entire boutique hotel–the Lafayette House–and hosted a 24 hour sleep-in to fete their launch. Guests were welcomed to wander through the hotel’s rooms and explore.
It was the coolest launch party/press preview I’ve ever been to–but of course, I’d expect nothing less from Andy Spade, the retail genius who helped launch Kate Spade and Jack Spade, and, at his creative branding firm Partners and Spade, has helped cool-ify companies like J.Crew, Warby Parker, Roxy and more.
I caught up with Spade (who had been up all night on Glenn O’Brien’s TV Party) to chat about why designers should stop doing so many things, and why pajamas may just be the 21st century’s office wardrobe.

Models Carrying Machine Guns and Teddy Bears Grace Philipp Plein’s Fall Runway Show
We can only assume that, during those months leading up to Philipp Plein’s menswear show in Milan yesterday, the German designer had stranded himself on some remote island devoid of fashion magazines and Internet access, where he spent his hours scribbling ideas down on the back of a shovel by candlelight Abe Lincoln-style so as not to be subconsciously influenced by outside goings-on.
That’s really the only explanation for why anyone–annnyyyyyyooooone–would find it appropriate or acceptable in any way to walk a ski-masked male model down the runway carrying a semi-automatic machine gun in one hand and a teddy bear in the other.
Hedi Slimane Photographs Yet Another Musician in Black and White for Saint Laurent
Hedi Slimane has really been putting his photography skills to work as the new creative director of Saint Laurent.
Most recently, he’s rounded out his uber cool cast of musicians/models like Beck and Edie Campbell with pouty It girl/up-and-coming musician Sky Ferreira (who was front row at his PFW debut and wore pre-fall look 7 while performing on Jimmy Fallon last week).

First Look: White House Black Market’s Inauguration-Inspired Dress Collection
While we’re betting Michelle Obama will go for high-end glamor on Inauguration Day (we predict either Michael Kors or Jason Wu), at least one high street retailer is throwing its name in the ring… sort of.
White House Black Market, a brand the First Lady has worn in the past, is launching an inauguration-inspired collection of dresses this Friday.

Courtney Love’s New Clothing Line is Made Out of 30-Year-Old Moldy Vintage
Courtney Love’s clothing line has certainly been a long time coming. The songstress/grunge goddess first announced she would be doing a line, called Never the Bride, nearly four years ago–but it wasn’t until 2011, when Love finally got a licensee, that it looked like the line might actually happen.
Well, happen it did–and now, after years of waiting, we finally get to see some of the collection.
