Stella McCartney Kids: The Complete Lookbook

Posted: 03 Nov 2010 07:00 AM PDT

We went gaga over Stella McCartney’s kids clothes for Gap. Now the top designer has created an underage collection for her own brand. (You can buy it on Stellamccartneykids.com.) We’re already plotting ways to make these clothes work for our adult bodies.

And if you were wondering whether Stella would be upping the price point to an unreal number, the answer is no. The clothes aren’t cheap, but they’re not too expensive either. (Think $57 for a pair of jeans, $72 for a silk-cashmere blend cardigan.)

Stella McCartney Kids launches today. And if this video is any indication, these are the most adorable children’s clothes ever to be produced.

Agyness Deyn and Her Model Friends Fete the Launch of Naag.com

Billy Farrell / Bill Farrell Agency

Monday's naag.com launch party at Mary Queen of Scots felt less like a "fashion party" and more like a bunch of cool kids hanging out at a hip LES bar–in a good way.

If you're wondering what naag.com is, I think it is best described on the site’s Who We Are page: "Naag is Fiona and Aggy and our friends. Talking about things we live and do and see and feel. We live in New York and like to hang out."

That also pretty much sums up the party. And if its attendees were any indication, their friends are people like Karen Elson, Coco Rocha, Seth Meyers, Christian Siriano, Becka Diamond, Rebecca Minkoff, Eddie Borgo, and, according to the tip sheet, an incognito Marion Cotillard.

Billy Farrell / Bill Farrell Agency

Officially, Fiona Byrne is editor in chief and Agyness Deyn is creative director. Right now, most of the content is New York-based, but the girls intend to have something for their followers across the pond very soon and they don't plan to stop there. Agyness, who is ridiculously sweet, charming and gorgeous in person, told us, "Next week we're going to London and we're launching the UK content, so it's going to be both. It will be separate content, so if you're gonna go to London you can look at all the restaurants, the music, the fashion or if you're in New York you can do the same. Then, we're going to expand it to different cities around the world."

But don't worry–Agyness has no plans to quit modeling. "This is just fun and it's gotten to a place where Fiona's running it a lot so I can still model and do it at the same time." Still, her runway presence has diminished significantly. (Supposedly, she only walked Wang’s show because he killed a cockroach for her..) "I'm being very selective, which I like because then when I do work, I absolutely love it, you know?" I asked if there were certain designers she favors and she explained, "It's not really the designer, it's the pieces, like if there's a collection that really stands out. I really like Alex Wang and Proenza…It depends on what they're doing."

From what I can gather, being selective is something Agyness has a knack for. Naag is full of great recommendations, from shoes to nail polish to movies to concerts. And everything is written in a personal, conversational tone–not in an obnoxious, spell-check-be-damned, Lourdes way–but in a charming, excited way that makes you feel like your really cool, in-the-know bff is telling you about her new favorite things. We definitely recommend checking it out.

Top Ten Looks from the Lanvin x H&M Collaboration

Posted: 02 Nov 2010 03:01 PM PDT

If you couldn’t tell, we just can’t get enough of Lanvin Hearts H&M!

From the incredibly produced video to the special editors pre-sale event, we’re head-over-heels for Alber’s newest venture. H&M and Lanvin seem to be just as excited as we are, because they’ve created a ton of content to keep buyers and bloggers busy swooning over. The unsung hero of today’s Lanvin-apalooza is the stellar look book starring Irina Lazareanu.

Showing each look styled to perfection in an opulent hotel room, Irina gives Jamie Bochert’s SS10 Lanvin ads a run for their money in the category of most dramatic.

Here we’ve compiled our favorite looks from the lookbook that we’ll be emulating when we get our hands on Lanvin Hearts H&M.

Donatella and Tavi Are Among Glamour’s Women of the Year Honorees

Posted: 02 Nov 2010 01:00 PM PDT

Today Glamour magazine announced the winners of its 20th annual Women of the Year awards. There are two honorees from the fashion industry and not a whole lot of surprises. The methodology behind Glamour‘s choices seems to involve a ratio of fame, successful projects and charitable undertakings.

Donatella Versace is among ten winners from the worlds of entertainment, business, sports, fashion and politics. Other winners include December cover girl Fergie, Cher, Julia Roberts and Queen Rania of Jordan. Glamour is also giving “special recognition” to 20 young women who are “already changing the world.” Everyone’s favorite 14-year-old blogger, Tavi Gevinson, is one of them.

The winners will be honored next Monday, November 8 at an awards gala at Carnegie Hall. We will be there and really, really hope Donatella graces us with her fabulousness.

Quote of the Day: Fashion Breaks Kanye West’s Heart

Posted: 02 Nov 2010 12:39 PM PDT

Kanye West was named “Stylemaker of the Year” by the Accesories Council last night at Cipriani. He gave an amazing acceptance speech and Vulture transcribed the whole thing. It’s too good not to quote in full (but I’ve bolded the best parts):

The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, “What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?” And, “How does creativity apply across the board?” Why, if someone is good in one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields? I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, “You’re finished. The shoe’s finished.” When it was ready it was like the dream of putting together the fabric and having the energy that I knew of being a street kid, of being a boy out of Chicago, and enjoying every day and the way I can connect with this. It’s like, you can’t play the video game anymore. And that’s what it’s about. So many people in this room, they can’t even go on vacation without being creative. They can’t sit on the beach, they have to create constantly. And that’s how I feel with this album coming out.

No wait, there’s more…

I feel convicted. I feel a level of honesty. I feel a level of truth. I feel like a 5-year old. I feel like I’m getting closer to the 5-year-old inside of me and I feel like I have to represent that 5-year-old, even, even at the risk of my public … Maybe I can’t find the words right now, but we know what it is. Some people hate me. But nonetheless, my biggest moments, my biggest Internet-crashing moments were the opinion of a 5-year-old. The opinion of a 5-year-old, the spirit of a 5-year-old with the responsibility of a 100-year old. Where the truth will set you free or the truth will close doors. What compromises do we have to make? How many compromises do we have to make every day in this field just to keep things going? Just to be able to sell a product?
And looking at my project now versus Graduation, and look at what’s happening — what is the impact? What is the impact of last year? What did it have on me? Years from now, hundreds of years from now, what will be written in the history books? If you want to just understand how much I care, how selfless I am, how much I could give … For this to be the fifteen-year anniversary and for me to stand up here and be the first male to be honored for an influencer award or to be even recognized, because I sit back and as I say, “Let’s have a toast for the douchebags” … Fashion breaks my heart.
You know, when they do a magazine of No. 1 New Yorkers or something like that and I’m blatantly left out, I feel like … It hurts me. And I just appreciate the people in this room that are open-minded enough to remember when they were a 5-year-old. To remember when they could color outside the lines, to remember when they could give their opinion honestly without affecting their job, without it affecting their well-being. Or their kids having to go to the same school because they’re convicted about what they really, really believe. I thought that’s what true art was. I thought that’s what a true artist was. And to be able to stand up here in front of you guys and be recognized after all of this means a lot to me, and it means a lot for me to say this right now. Convicted right now. Thirty-three-years-old, still creating art. It’s rage, it’s creativity, it’s pain, it’s hurt, but it’s the opportunity to still have my voice get out there through music. To let my pain hit the radio and thank you for this moment of acceptance.

More Lanvin x H&M News: A Post-Fashion Show Shopping Party for New York Editors!

Lanvin x H&M hits stores worldwide on November 23. However, on Nov. 18, New York fashion editors will attend a runway show featuring the “haute couture” collaboration. (At least that’s how the invitation reads.) It’s all happening at the Pierre Hotel, as we previously reported.

But here’s the new news:

Post-show there will be a pop-up store where invitees will get to shop the collection. We’ll be tweeting from the trenches. Are you going, too? What’s your plan of attack?

An Ode To Carmex

Posted: 02 Nov 2010 11:28 AM PDT

Carmex. It’s one of the best beauty products around and it wasn’t dreamed up in some expensive lab after years of research, it’s got no exotic hard to find ingredients, and there’s nothing French about it. Carmex was created in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and since 1937, it has been soothing the chapped lips of everyone who has to experience the indignity and unpleasantness of winter. If you've ever endured the 20-below-zero windchill of a Chicago winter, you know what I'm talking about. It's hell on the skin and especially the lips.

Traditional Carmex comes in a little white pot with a yellow lid emblazoned with its red banner logo and the very unsexy words "FOR COLD SORES." Someone in the marketing department recently got wise and toned that down a bit, though. It used to be in big black block letters, but now it's in red in a smaller font.

But subtlety is not in Carmex's DNA. In addition to the stark packaging which announces that you might have cold sores, it also stinks to high heaven. I associate the scent with only good and comforting things, but a newbie (or potential mate) may not. When you open the pot, you're assaulted by a minty medicinal smell, and by a goopy product that is, tragically, an ear waxy yellow.

But if you're brave enough to dip your fingertip in and apply it to your mouth, you're in for a treat. A lot of relief and prevention comes in that little 0.25 oz. jar.

The Original Carmex Jar, according to its website, contains camphor to relieve pain, menthol to kill germs, and phenol to numb your sore lips and remove old, dead skin. It also contains waxes, paraffin, and lanolin. Salicylic acid is a surprise ingredient. My friend used to swear that Carmex cured breakouts, and maybe she was on to something. Salicylic acid is a mild exfoliator and an active ingredient in a lot of acne medications.

In addition to the iconic pot, Carmex also comes in a tube that squirts out and in a Chapstick-like stick. I was also really surprised to see it offered in a silver cylinder masquerading as a lip gloss this year. It's even tinted! While I welcomed the addition of a cherry flavor and SPF 15 in recent years, I'm not going for the fancy tinted edition. I like my Carmex old school.

The company offers branded t-shirts, mugs, and, uh, skateboards (Yes, Carmex skateboards.) They also collaborated with Keds on a pair of slip-on sneakers decorated with "Carmex kisses." But I think I'll just stick to Carmex jars in every bag I own.

Oh, it also claims on the site that Carmex is not addictive. I beg to differ.

Google’s Trend Tracker: You can now track consumer interest in trends or brands on Google. The company, which has become increasingly fashion-conscious, demonstrates in their retail advertising blog how search queries can be traced and graphed over time and based on location. For example, most fashion trend-related searches grow in places like New York and Los Angeles and then spread throughout the rest of the country. Pretty cool. {Google via Blackbook}
