Calvin Klein is re-releasing Ck One, presumably to pick up on the 90′s vibe everybody’s really feeling now post-The Wackness. 2. And, instead of getting Kate and Marky Mark to pose topless, they’re getting 90′s favorite Kirsten Owen, who’s Read more →
When we heard last Fall that Stephen Jones was collaborating with Rei Kawakubo to make his own fragrance, our reaction was kind of like, “Oh boy.” But WWD has the results of the project this morning, and we have to say, it looks rather special.

Is Avon getting to be kind of… cool? A couple summers ago, they got Derek Jeter to pose glossy headshot style. Then they got Hills idol Lauren Conrad to smile for mark.
