Fashion News Roundup: The Beckhams Are on the ‘Rich List,’ DIY Caviar Nail Fails, and Ab Fab‘s Patsy Fronts a New Marks & Spencer Campaign

The Beckhams Made it on to the Sunday Times ‘Rich List’: David and Victoria Beckham are… rich? You don’t say! America’s favorite British transplants ranked #10 in the Times‘ music (huh?) category, having amassed over $32 million this past year. {Vogue UK}

Isabel Marant Knows What Time it is: The designer is selling a limited edition gold watch, which you can only get at her SoHo boutique. {The Cut}

Want to Try a DIY Caviar Mani?: The folks over at SHEFinds attempt to recreate the now sold-out Ciaté caviar manicure with a host of materials like sugar sprinkles, seed beads, and actual caviar. {SHEFinds}

What’s Up With All the ‘Curators’ in Fashion?: These days, it seems every well-known blogger or media gadfly is curating something, but what does that really mean? Is ‘curator’ just a modern, fancy word for ‘editor?’ Vanessa Friedman explores this sudden phenomena. {Material World}

Anthropologie Launches New Site for Designer Collaborations With Karen Walker, Gregory Parkinson and More

by

While their sister company Urban Outfitters may be the ones better known for their designer collaborations (with the likes of Geren Ford and Rachel Comey), Anthropologie is finally jumping on the collaboration bandwagon in their own special, Anthropologie-esque way. Instead of launching the collaborations one at a time, they’re debuting 11 of them at once through a new online platform called Made in Kind, which will go live on April 5.

We love to follow our “How I’m Making It” subjects through their career trajectories, and it’s particularly gratifying when they’re doing well and thriving. One such success story is Meredith Fisher and her Charles Henry line. When we first wrote about her in January, she’d just launched Charles Henry (after a successful run with her first line, WAYF). We caught up with her this week to see what’s new.

How Do You Take Your Tea? A Roundup Of Tea-Infused Fragrances

How Do You Take Your Tea? A Roundup Of Tea-Infused Fragrances

by

Tea isn’t a new note in perfume, but it definitely seems to be picking up steam as a fragrance trend. (Bad tea pun. Sorry.) As tea shops become more and more ubiquitous and tea is increasingly touted for its healthy effects, it makes sense that it’s popping up in non-potable form.

Jean-Claude Ellena is generally credited for starting the tea-as-fragrance craze. He created a scent made of jasmine and violet leaf tea and used it to perfume Bulgari jewelry stores. This morphed into several successful tea scents for Bulgari.

Tea is a subtle fragrance that blends well with more traditional notes to produce fragrances that smell really light and modern.

Click through to see what’s brewing. (I really can’t help myself. Sorry.)

The Best Places to Shop for Fashion Online

The Best Places to Shop for Fashion Online

by

It’s the holiday season, which means trolling the internet in search of perfect gifts for your friends and family. But despite the mission, we always end up buying for ourselves, too.

To put together a list of the best places to shop for fashion online, we considered breadth and quality of product, easy navigation, customer service, and overall look and feel of each site. We did not include flash sales sites, as it’s difficult to judge something on product when that aspect changes daily. And we didn’t rank these stores, because every site is so different. What’s your favorite place to shop online?

Le Labo Launches Fragrance Collection At Anthropologie

by

Anthropologie, which has really developed quite an impressive beauty collection lately, has a new fragrance feather to place in its faux-vintage cap. Le Labo, the New York-based niche perfume house founded by Fabrice Penot and Edouard Roschi, has created five new fragrances exclusively for the retailer.

Le Labo, in case you’re not familiar with the brand, is unique, even for a niche perfumery. When you purchase a fragrance from their shop, they mix it for you right there and add a customized label. The founders met while both making perfume for Armani. They chafed against corporate culture and in 2006 started their own range. Take a peek at their very amusing website. As Fabrice told me, they try not to be very serious about something they actually take very seriously; no fragrance snobbery here.

Anyway, back to the Anthropologie line.
