Kate Moss's New Line of Tech Accessories Is Actually Pretty Cute

When we heard, earlier this month, that Kate Moss would be embarking on a new design project, we got excited. Remember how good her Topshop collection was? Then we found out she'd be designing... cell phone covers. And we were a little less excited. And a little more confused. Cell phone covers? Really? But the supermodel's collection for the UK phone dealer Carphone Warehouse has just been unveiled (it hits stores--and hopefully online--on July 24) and surprise, surprise, it's pretty cute.

Vogue and Conde Nast Launch Another Social Media Tool, but Do We Really Need It?

It's not exactly a secret that Conde Nast has been a little late to the whole Internet thing. Look no further than the fact that their most famous fashion title--Vogue, in case you weren't sure--only got a dot com a few years ago. So it makes sense the famed publisher is trying to make up for lost time. Today Conde Nast launched new social media tool "Social Sidekick." The in-house developed tool works as an aggregator for most-shared content from W, Style.com, Glamour, Self, Teen Vogue and Lucky. It sounds sort of fancy but all it actually means is that on those sites there will be a window at the bottom of the page, which splashes out popular content from the aforementioned sister sites--basically, it's an aggregator like any other aggregator on any other site. It's not a bad idea--especially from the advertising perspective--but it's certainly not groundbreaking, or as Business Insider says, "It's nice to look at, but it won't make a big difference to the bottom line."

Fashion News Roundup: Lauren Conrad's Latest Collection For Kohl's, Google's Shopping App, and a New Diana Vreeland Doc

Preview Lauren Conrad's Fall 2011 Line For Kohl's: Filled with floaty blush-toned blouses and pleated skirts, the fall Lauren Conrad for Kohl's line screams LC without the Paper Crown pricetag. {Examiner} Video: Behind-The-Scenes of NYMag's Andrej Pejic Cover: Go behind the photographer's lens of NYMag's fall fashion issue and watch Pejic and other cover stars Issebella Rossellinni and Elettra Wiedemann, China Machado and Shala Monroque do their thang. {The Cut} First Look at Mark Fast For Aldo: Going off the sketch of a fringed wedge sandal, it looks like the collection might not be out until next resort (though there's no official word). We'll wait, since it sounds awesome: Fast described it as "sexy, strong, fierce African fabulousness." {Catwalk Queen}

Now, for Just $500, You Can Cover Your iPads in Bernie Madoff's Old Pants

Have you ever thought, gee, I really wish I could carry a piece of Bernie Madoff around with me all the time? We know, us too. Seeing this vast and obvious hole in the market, tech entrepreneur John Vaccaro bought a stack of Ol Bernie's clothes at a U.S. Marshals auction last year and is now selling them, redesigned as iPad covers, under the label Frederick James. According to the brand's website, "the collection is made from a limited number of personal clothing items belonging to the notorious felon, Bernie Madoff," including designer duds like Christian Dior sweaters, Ralph Lauren trousers and two pairs of pants by...Banana Republic and J. Crew. Yep, the man who swindled $65 billion still picked up his pants at the mall. Other fun facts learned about the super-villian:

Glamour's Cute Jewelry Line for HSN Launches Today

From iPad apps to television shows, magazines are more dedicated than ever to finding alternative revenue streams. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. This time around, we think it'll work. Glamour, one of the most well-read magazines in the country, has teamed up with the Home Shopping Network to design a line of affordable jewelry (each piece rings in at under $100). The collection launched this morning at 2am EST on HSN, where Glamour.com's Tracey Lomrantz discussed the ins and outs of fall trends--military, lace, etc.--and how they applied to the magazine's line of baubles. She'll be shilling yet again at 1pm, 2pm, and 11pm EST time today. It makes sense for Glamour to get into this particular game. Rachel Zoe, Janie Bryant, Lori Goldstein...the list of fashion insiders that have embraced television shopping is virtually endless. So Glamour's move is just right. Not only are the pieces accessible--much like the magazine--they're also quite appealing. We saw Tracey donning one of the necklaces at an event last week and noticed it immediately. Click through to see for yourself. And watch Tracey today on HSN--we're rooting for her! And Glamour.
