Fashion News Roundup: Kermit the Frog Wears Brooks Brothers, Versace for H&M Hits Ebay, and Bid on Kate Moss’ ‘Best Photo Ever’

by

Kermit the Frog is A Fashionisto: I mean, homeboy rocks custom-made Brooks Brothers tuxedos, and has inspired a pair of Adidas kicks. Could Kermie be fresher than Kanye West? Looks like somebody better watch his throne. {LA Times}

Céline Store in Paris Gets the Kidult Treatment: Style-conscious graffiti artist Kidult tagged “SK8″ on the Céline store in a cotton candy pink hue. “SK8″ is a direct reference to the brand’s Fall 2011 campaign. Subtext. We like! {Styleite}

Versace for H&M is Already on Ebay: Here’s a wonderful opportunity to pay significantly more money than you need to for Versace x H&M pieces. Pay $349 for a dress you might have purchased for $200 less. {The Cut}

Target’s Web President Exits Post-Missoni Ordeal: If you got stressed out trying to purchase those Target/Missoni collabs online when the site crashed, imagine what it was like for the poor guy in charge. Target announced that its web operations president, Steve Eastman, has left the company just a month after the fiasco, which caused more site traffic than on a typical Black Friday. {WWD}

Uniqlo Set to Become Largest Apparel Retailer on Planet Earth: The fast-expanding Japanese retailer is set to have 4,000 stores worldwide by 2020, and are opening 150 overseas stores this year alone. Uniqlo’s revenue goal for 2020 is $54 billion. Just… whoa. {WWD}

Doo Ri Designs Custom Dress for Michelle Obama: The always-stylish First Lady appropriately chose to wear a custom modified purple Doo Ri gown for a state dinner with Korean leaders. The Korean-American designer “loves that [Obama] supports young designers.” {Washington Post}

Fashion News Roundup: Sneak Peak at Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Mini Line for Target, Jay-Z’s Designing Brooklyn Nets Uniforms and Another Critic Disses Tom Ford

by

First look at Gwen Stefani’s Baby Clothes: Here’s a taste of what’s to come from Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Mini line for Target, which will hit stores November 13. Sizing will range from 6 months to 16 years, which means we, and possibly Nicki Minaj, may be able to fit into some under-$30 Harajuku tutus. {Celebrity Babies}

Jay-Z’s Designing Jerseys with Adidas: Jay-Z, prolific hip hop artist, clothing designer and co-owner of the newly named Brooklyn Nets, will proudly be designing the team’s new uniform in collaboration with Adidas. {New York Post}

Another Critic Dares to Critique Tom Ford: Le Figaro‘s Virginie Mouzat has recently given her account of Tom Ford’s exclusive show during London Fashion Week. Like Lynn Yaeger and Jess Cartner-Morley, Mouzat gave a review that was not exactly glowing. In fact, she literally calls it “an out-of-style Gucci collection from ten years ago” and then goes on to list all of the other designers she thinks Ford copied. {Le Figaro via The Cut}

In Honor of the US Open, Here’s a Look Back at Fashion’s Love Affair with Tennis

In Honor of the US Open, Here’s a Look Back at Fashion’s Love Affair with Tennis

by

Ever since the US Open began Monday, something very funny has been happening over at WWD. The industry newspaper–dedicated to reporting the comings and goings of the fashion and beauty world–has been talking grand slams and sports stats.

We’ve been noticing tennis-related posts popping up on all sorts of fashion-related sites. In the past few days, NY Times has run a piece dissecting female players’ hairstyles, WWD has reported on Ryan Harrison’s “brat attack”, NOWNESS premiered a dramatic, smoke-filled video starring tennis A-listers taking swings, and Vogue has run several tennis-themed features including a profile on the sports’ newest stars and a look at Maria Sharapova’s fashion cred.

Yes, some of these have been legitimately fashion-related, but it’s still a whole lot more industry buzz than has been given to other sports (Can you imagine a football-related headline on WWD!?)

Let’s take a look at the evolution of the fashion industry’s love affair with tennis.

Karen Elson for Nine West: The British model will be designing a line for Nine West’s Vintage America collection (makes sense). The line launches in August and will include shoes, handbags, and jewelry with a vintage feel. {WWD, subscription required}

See Lady Gaga Covered With Babies and Dressed as a Baby: New York Magazine invited costume designers, artists, and general weirdos to come up with outfits for Lady Gaga. There are a disturbing number of baby references. (We’d love to see her in the Blonds’ unicorn costume, though). {NewYork Magazine}

Victoria Beckham, Florence Welch, and Natalia Vodianova on Sunday Times’ Rich List: The Sunday Times in the UK released its annual “Rich List” and lots of fashion people are enjoying the posh life. Like Posh, who earned £165 million with Becks last year. Emma Watson, Florence Welch, and models Lily Cole and Natalia Vodianova are also blessed with riches. {VogueUK}

Snoop Dogg, Designer?

Snoop Dogg, Designer?

by

Yes, you read that right.

Snoop Dogg has collaborated with Adidas on a sneaker “inspired by his love of Los Angeles and the LA Lakers.” The rapper recently showed them off during the video shoot for his track “Purp and Yellow,” which is also, it seems, about his love for the Lakers.

According to the release, the shoe is “designed in black leather with gold and purple detailing, along with the signature Snoop Dog eyes adorning the tongue of the shoe. Snoop’s signature eyes were inspired from his Doggystyle album cover art circa 1993.”

The kicks, called the “Adidas Originals x Snoop Dogg for All-Star Weekend” launches February 11 and will retail for $90. Check them out.

Fashion News Roundup: McQueen’s Memorial, The Other Meat Dress, and Is Gossip Girl Holding Up the Tents?

by

Remembering McQueen: A gathering of about 1,000 people took place at St. Paul’s Cathedral to memorialize Alexander McQueen. Speakers at the ceremony included Suzy Menkes and Anna Wintour, who told the story of how she “forgave” Mcqueen for not showing up to a photo shoot. {NY Times}

Gossip at the Tents: The main tent is still up at Lincoln Center, four days after the last show. Perhaps Gossip Girl will follow their next FNO episode with some staged Fashion Week footage. We can only hope. {Racked}

Gaga’s Meat Dress Was a Copycat: Lady Gaga probably thought her VMA meat outfit was one of her most original yet. Not so. According to Ripley’s Believe It or Not: Enter if You Dare! a Chicago girl wore a dress made from salami and bacon. Better luck next time, Gaga. {Refinery 29}

Hot Kicks

by

We’ve become frequent visitors to Need Supply Co. this summer, and we’ve just spotted the cutest pair of sneakers. I love high top sneakers, but often when I see a pair I like, they’re kind of puffy, for lack of a better word, and I feel like they’re overwhelming my tiny feet. So the Jackie, Read more →
