The one and only Iggy Pop was on hand at Barneys Co-op last night to sign t-shirts at the launch of his collection for the store's Archive 1887 line. Of course, Iggy Pop doesn't really wear t-shirts. At last night's launch celebration, he was wearing a vest with no shirt underneath. If you Google image the punk rock legend, it's hard to find an image of him with a shirt on. So I asked him, "You don't really wear t-shirts--are you going to wear your Barneys' Archive 1887 line?" Now prepare yourself for this epic rock star response: "I wear them in the morning when my AC is too cold in my Ferrari--I always wear an Iggy and the Stooges t-shirt," he told me. But would he ever wear them on stage?

There's a lot of exposed midriff this summer and with good reason--it's been really effing hot. And here's the good news: You can expose you're midsection without looking, well, slutty. There are tons of soft loose slouchy tees out there that are cropped and super sexy without crossing the line. We've also noticed a slew of bustiers, bralettes and corset tops this summer. It's a bod-con look that's tricky to pull off but these bustiers are meant to be worn as outerwear and they are not all laced-up-the-back and stripper-y. They're kinda cute. Thoughts?

No matter what any bride says there is a universal truth about bridesmaids dresses: you'll only wear the dress once. "You'll wear it again, right?" the bride asks, perhaps to make themselves feel better about asking you to shell out hundreds of dollars for it. Nope, you won't. You'll never wear that floor length, one-shouldered aubergine satin dress with the weird unflattering ruffles ever again. Remember six-time bridesmaid Adrianna Giuliani whom we spoke to about the bridesmaid dress conundrum a while back? She simply left her bridesmaids dresses in the hotel closets at each wedding. It seemed like a lost cause, just part of the deal of being a bridesmaid--suck it up and buy the ugly dress, right? Wrong. Enter Rent the Runway Weddings, an expansion of Rent the Runway, and a beacon of hope for future bridesmaids everywhere.

Notice how designer collaborations are kinda like the hottest thing in fashion right now (ahem, Missoni for Target, Versace for H&M, Karl Lagerfeld for Macy's, etc.,)? Well so did Estefania Lacayo and Jessica Wilpon Kamel, design industry vets and BFFs, who decided to launch a members only retail site called Edition01 devoted to just that. Only these aren't hysteria-inducing collaborations between designers and mass retailers (not that we're mad at those...at all). The idea here is more refined. Lacayo and Kamel pair up with the hottest designers (Cushnie et Ochs, Vera Wang, Doo.ri to name a few) and commission them (and their factories) to create limited edition runs of their most quintessential pieces but in a new print, fabrication or colorway. Or, in the case of today's collection by Thakoon for home line Ankasa, they let designers experiment out of the comfort zones. New on the site today is Thakoon's line of pillows for Ankasa made with fabrics from his resort collection. This is a site for the discerning fashionista--someone who wants something truly and special unique. When they say collections are limited edition--they mean it. Collections for Edition01 contain, on average, between 15 and 40 pieces max. Want to know more? So did we. We sat down with Lacayo and Kamel to ask them just how Edition01 came about and how it works.
