Rumor Mill: Kate Moss Said to Be Shilling Lipstick for Dior

Posted: 29 Oct 2010 07:06 AM PDT

Kate Moss is hardly devoid of campaign contracts. For Fall 2010 she’s the face of David Yurman, Isabel Marant, and YSL Parisienne…just to name a few.

Now rumors are swirling that Moss will be the face of a new Parfums Christian Dior ad campaign. However, since she’s already the face of Parisienne, most think it’ll be for a Dior lipstick, not a fragrance. We’ll take it.

Armani’s Doing 3-D Glasses, Too

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 03:30 PM PDT

Yesterday, we told you about Gucci’s $225 3-D glasses. Well, it seems Armani has hopped on this very new bandwagon as well.

Today the global fashion label announced it would also be releasing 3-D unisex glasses, set to hit US stores this December. The glasses, which were modeled after the ’80s popular navigator style, have a crystal gray plastic front, and shiny black metal temples.

Who is going to buy these things? Who knows. But here’s some good news: They’re being released through A/X Armani Exchange, which means they’re only $58. Take that, GG. Let the 3-D glasses war begin.

People Spend More Money at Opening Ceremony Than Brooks Brothers

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 03:00 PM PDT

If you thought Opening Ceremony was keeping afloat by selling loads of those $30 tote bags, think again. On average, customers spend more at the global chainlet’s New York stores than they do at preppy staple Brooks Brothers.

That’s according to data released by Mint.com, a personal finance portal. The data they’ve collected is from credit card transactions put through by their members.

At Opening Ceremony in New York, the average spend is $243.75. At Brooks Brothers in New York, the average spend is $180.93.

What’s more, the average spend varies quite a lot when you look at the same store in different cities. For example, at Zara in New York, the average spend is $92.03. At Zara in Miami, it’s $68.05. Interesting. Here’s a list of stores all over the country and the amount of money shoppers spend, on average, when visiting them:

J.Crew, San Diego, CA: $109.86
J.Crew, Cincinnati, OH: $63.38

Barneys New York, New York, NY: $401.11
Barneys New York, Chicago, IL: $285.02

Bergdorf Goodman, New York, NY: $369.45

Neiman Marcus, Atlanta, GA: $339.01
Neiman Marcus, Dallas, TX: $222.40

Gap, Los Angeles, CA: $60.94
Gap, Madison, WI: $52.45

We could play with this data forever, but why don’t you just check it out for yourself: Data.mint.com. You can insert any store name–most major retailers pop up.

Weapon or Accessory? We Round Up The Most Badass Knuckle Rings

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 02:45 PM PDT

Brass knuckle-inspired jewelry isn’t a totally new thing–most retailers sell some interpretation of it. Knuckle rings have, however, been taken in many cool, new directions. There are now engagement rings, rings that look more dangerous than actual brass knuckles, brass knuckle necklaces and so much more. Click through for our favorites.

Kate Moss Is Judging A Polyvore Contest

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 02:21 PM PDT

Polyvore has always managed to wrangle an impressive assortment of fashion people to guest on their site, answer questions, and judge set contests. They recently had one of Rihanna and Willow Smith stylist’s, Rob Zangardi, on the site, and next week Janie Bryant will be the site’s featured “style expert.” But today marks the e-commerce/collage sites biggest fashion coup: Kate Moss.

The supermodel graces the cover of Bryan Ferry’s latest album, making her a “Roxy Girl,” as the girls who cover Ferry’s albums (including Jerry Hall in ’75) are known. (Ferry’s group, Roxy Music, disbanded in ’80s, got back together, and broke up again in the early oughts.)

The challenge: To create a “Roxy Girl” set inspired by photos of Moss from the Ferry album shoot. The contest is live now and lasts for four days. Moss will choose her two favorite sets on November 8th. Winners will receive a deluxe edition album and 40 page coffee table book featuring pictures of Kate Moss signed by both Kate Moss and Bryan Ferry. So start collage-ing and get that Moss stamp of approval. We recommend sneaking in some fringe and floral.

Trendspotting: What’s Up With Fashion People Wearing Jackets Like Capes?

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 01:30 PM PDT

Wearing a coat or blazer draped over your shoulders isn’t exactly a new trend. It’s kind of a fussy dignified old lady look. Cardigan clips existed in the late ’50s and ’60s (and Glee’s Emma Pillsbury is bringing them back) to facilitate wearing your button-downs draped instead of arms-in and buttoned-up.

But if you follow the big street style blogs, the ones that follow the fashion crowd over fashion month like Tommy Ton, Garance Dore and the Sartorialist, you’ve probably noticed that the fashion elite have taken to this trend like gangbusters. Most notably, Marie Claire’s Taylor Tomasi Hill and Zanna Roberts and Elle’s Kate Lanphear seem loathe to put their arms in their blazer sleeves.

It’s a styling trend that has hit the runways, too. At Banana Republic’s spring show this past week, one of the model’s was styled with her jacket draped cape-style. Of course, it’s hard to keep a jacket on when your stomping the runway and your arms aren’t in the sleeves, so they buttoned the coat at the neck, which just makes her look a bit like she’s being strangled.

Do you or would you wear a jacket like a cape?

All these people are. Take a look.

Invest in Saturday

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 01:15 PM PDT

If you thought an MBA from Columbia was only a possibility for mid-twenty-somethings in finance with two years to spare, think again. Columbia’s new EMBA program is offered on Saturdays only, which means you don’t have to upend your life or break the momentum of a career you’ve put time and effort into to attain it. It's the kind of degree that would get you that much closer to your dream job, or at least provide the network to ensure you find it.

It’s a program tailor made for busy New Yorkers (perhaps a redundancy) whose careers are just as important as their home life. All it takes to get to that next level is one day a week: Saturday. A day when, let’s face it, you might otherwise be shopping or going out to eat or catching up on DVR’ed television. (OK, so this is what we do on Saturdays.) Think of each Saturday (the program lasts for 24 months) as an investment in yourself, your career, or even your family.

And of course, lazy Sunday is still free for sleeping late, lingering brunches, and recharging for the coming work week.

It’s all about keeping your balance in New York. And in the city that never seems to stop working, where we commute from home to work to meetings back to home, blackberry in hand, looking up every so often to avoid getting taken down by a cab, it’s an important thing to maintain.

The Scandinavian Invasion: Cool Swedish Labels To Watch

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 10:47 AM PDT

Rodebjer

Swedish fashion is so much more than H&M (though of course we love H&M). There are some amazing independent Swedish labels out there creating beautiful and innovative designs. We recently got to see several S/S 2011 collections whose designers hail from Sweden.

While one shouldn't generalize about the aesthetic of an entire country, the three labels we saw show that simplicity doesn't mean boring. Draping, minimalism, and strategic pops of color really make these clothes stand out.

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 09:42 AM PDT

SoHo Gets a Nordstrom: New York City is finally getting a Nordstrom. Except it’s not just any ordinary Nordstom–it’s a concept shop with a charity angle. The store will donate all of its earnings to charity. While most of the details are not yet worked out, the store will occupy 11,100 square feet at 350 West Broadway. {Racked}

When Designers Get Into Costume: With Halloween only a few days away, T Magazine asked some of their favorite designers what they were going to be for Halloween. Pamela Love is going as Georgia O’Keeffe, Joseph Altuzarra will dress as wolf from Little Red Riding Hood, Eddie Borgo is going to go as Pee Wee Herman and Chris Benz is deciding between a matador and a bellhop . {T Magazine}

Isabella Blow Biopic: There has been a lot of rumors surrounding the making of a biopic focusing on the life of the late Isabella Blow. Apparently, it’s really happening. The film’s director and producers have all been chosen, and the screenplay has already been written. Set to be involved in the film are John Galliano and Philip Treacy, both who were very close to Blow. {The Cut}
