Sneak Peek: Rachel Zoe Reveals Her First Collection In A Shoot She Styled For WWD

Posted: 11 Jan 2011 06:00 AM PST

If you thought Rachel Zoe had toned it down what with her pregnancy and skipping out on Milan and Paris spring fashion weeks, think again.

Not one to be slowed down by pregnancy, the superstar stylist has been keeping plenty busy working on her first line, the Rachel Zoe Collection, and having it all filmed for the fourth season of her popular Bravo reality show.

Zoe, seven months pregnant, and her sizable entourage (Bravo crew included) stopped by WWD to style a shoot for the paper with a few looks from her forthcoming collection. The collection is pure Zoe–tailored (there’s plenty of suiting, including, according to WWD, a le smoking-esque tuxudo jumpsuit), dramatic, with a ’70s flare. Even though, Zoe says, “"I'd imagine everybody is expecting something from me that's kind of a Seventies, uberboho-glam kind of thing, and, you know, very accessorized. And it's not."

Unlike Zoe’s small affordable collection for QVC, the Rachel Zoe Collection will be a contemporary line which includes outerwear (with capes galore, obviously), shoes (four inch high stilettos with massive platforms, obviously) and handbags (Zoe literally screamed when she saw the first sample). Prices will range from $250 for a day dress up to $700 for a full tuxedo look. Zoe’s manufacturing firm Li & Fung say they haven’t secured any retailers yet, but Zoe says she envisions the collection on the racks next to Alexander Wang and DVF and Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Of course, the Zoe tornado couldn’t tear through WWD without leaving some gossip detritus behind.

We love us some collages here at Fashionista, so it’s no surprise we’re also huge fans of Polyvore, the highly-addictive site that let’s you create instant mood boards featuring your favorite trends and inspirations. This week, I’m guest-judging sets on Polyvore, and serving as a style expert to answer user’s style questions, too. (Kate Moss did something similar a few months back. Oh yeah. I mentioned myself and Ms. Moss in the same breath.)

Anyway, you should submit a set–Not only because I’ll be the one judging, and I love you, but also because the winner will receive a swag bag courtesy of Fashionista. The kit includes a Jimmy Choo clutch, a Kenneth Cole bracelet and lots of other goodies.

So get clipping, my dear ones. You can use my mini editor (featured above) for initial inspiration.

Dennis Freedman Replaces Simon Doonan At Barneys, Doonan Promoted to “Ambassador-at-Large”–But Who Will Do the Windows?

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 04:50 PM PST

Barneys CEO Mark Lee‘ continues to shake things up.

Last month Barneys fashion director Julie Gilhart and Judy Collinson, executive vice president and general merchandise manager of womenswear, were ousted.

Today, Barneys sent out a press release announcing that Dennis Freedman, formerly the creative director at W, would succeed Simon Doonan as creative director. But lest you were worried that meant Doonan, the face of Barneys, was out, fret not: he’s been “promoted” as the specialty retailer’s new “Creative Ambassador-at-Large.”

It’s a pretty funny title and sounds kind of made up, but then again fashion houses love to have brand “ambassadors” so it follows that a retailer could have one too. So what does it mean? And more importantly, will Doonan still do the windows?

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 01:13 PM PST

Since we’re all for the welfare of this industry and the designers who fuel it, we've crafted a list of dream collaborations which could generate huge buzz and dollars. Or maybe [...]

Fashion News Roundup: Posh is Pregs, Kate Middleton Gets Copyright Protected and American Apparel Ads Get NSFW Again

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 12:27 PM PST

American Apparel Gets All NSFW Again: Just when you thought American Apparel was toning down its racy ads, featuring Dov and his creative team hard at work and fully clothed, or using illustrations of naked girls instead of actual naked co-eds, there is this series of NSFW ads. Look! College girls climbing trees with no pants on (who doesn’t do that in college!?) and painting their nails topless in a room full of mannequins. That’s not creepy at all. {Copyranter}

Fashion People are Having Babies: Victoria and David Beckham have confirmed they’re expecting a fourth child sometime this summer (maybe she’ll finally get a girl to dress up!), Miranda Kerr gave birth to her first child with husband Orlando Bloom and Marion Cotillard is pregnant with her first child with husband Guillaume Canet. Fertile times for fashiony folk! {People, x17, and People}

Kate Middleton Gets Branded: Using Kate Middleton’s name to endorse a product might now be a sue-able offense, so say “royal aids and legal experts.” {Vogue UK}

Fashionista Needs Interns!

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 11:00 AM PST

It’s almost Fashion Month and we’re ramping up on interns. We’ve got two positions available:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday Intern
This spot, which is for a more experienced intern, requires that you are:

* A good writer.
* Proficient–if not a master–in Photoshop.
* A close follower of industry news.
* Well-versed in fashion history. This does not mean that you need to know every single name of every single type of blouse collar, but you should know several, as well as the exact number of times Kate Moss has appeared on the cover of British Vogue.
* A self-starter. This internship isn't about photocopies, it's about covering breaking news, covering events, and covering fashion shows. It sounds exciting, but it means that you're doing real work all day long. There isn't much trolling on the Internet here, unless of course you're looking for this week's Best Dressed.

Tuesday, Thursday Intern
For this spot, we’re looking for someone who may not have a ton of blogging/writing experience but is willing to learn. You’ll start off doing less writing and more research, admin work, and graphic design.

Our offices are based in SoHo. We can give you school credit if you need it. The hours are typically 10-5 for interns, but we’re flexible. If you’re interested, email workfashionista@gmail.com with a resume, cover letter, and an example of a graphic you think would work well on Fashionista. And don’t forget to specify which internship you’re after in the subject line. Bonne chance!

In Other Superstar Style Blogger News: Garance Shoots Jane Aldridge and Tavi Gets Up-Close and Personal With ALT at Miu Miu

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 10:24 AM PST

While the biggest mainstream fashion news unearthed over the weekend seems to be the rumor of Anna Wintour receiving the Legion d’Honneur, the style blogosphere is rife with good bits.

This morning, Sea of Shoes’ Jane Aldridge revealed that she’s been hanging out in New York and was photographed by Garance Dore for an upcoming spread/campaign of some sort. Style Bubble’s Susie Lau was also in town, so we’re speculating that she too may be involved. We’re also going to assume that it’s for an advert, not an editorial, given the exposure these ladies have already received in the glossies. But we’re sure whatever it is, it’s bound to look lovely…

Over in TaviTulle‘s world, it’s all about ALT and Miu Miu.

H&M To Launch Next Collaboration With…A Fashion Blogger

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 09:54 AM PST

H&M will follow their wildly successful collaboration line with Lanvin with a line designed by a little known fashion blogger.

This marks the first time that the Swedish retail giant has released a line designed by a fashion blogger, the Telegraph is reporting. We’ve seen fashion bloggers inspire products (Bryanboy for Marc Jacobs), and land campaigns (Rumi Neely for Forever 21), but never before has a personal style blogger translated their success into designing for such a high profile brand (at least we can’t recall anything like it). It speaks volumes about the importance of fashion bloggers too, when a huge brand like H&M, who has previously focused on releasing diffusion lines designed by A-list designers like Alber Elbaz for Lanvin, Stella McCartney, Karl Lagerfeld and Matthew Williamson, decides to take a chance with a little known blogger.

So who is the lucky fashion blogger? Her name is Elin Kling, and according to Hilary Alexander at the Telegraph, she’s a big deal in Sweden, “regarded as Sweden’s leading fashionista.” Kling’s collection, which launches February 3 in ten select stores only in Sweden, is comprised of nine pieces and two accessories and reflects Kling’s personal style which is minimalist, a bit tough and a bit boho. 10% of sales from the collection will be donated to UNICEF.

Kling’s collection for H&M won’t likely cause the same frenzy that Lanvin for H&M did, but it’s sleek and elegant and we wish it would be made available stateside. Take a look. All photos: H&M/Peter Gehrke.

Urban Decay Celebrates Its 15th Birthday With Eyeliner–and a Mascara That Will Actually Help Your Lashes Grow

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 09:29 AM PST

Urban Decay, the beauty brand best known for bold pigment and color names like Gash and Oil Slick, turns 15 this year. To celebrate, the brand is launching four limited edition products. The first is a 15-piece "24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil" set.

Urban Decay teamed with–who else?–Sephora to launch the set with promotions in Boston and the NYC Times Square locations this past Thursday and Friday. On hand were Urban Decay makeup artists to shill the set and convince shoppers that glitter really is an essential part of any makeup routine.

Cole Martin, national Urban Decay makeup artist, guided me through the set. I can tell you two things. First, if you are a freak for multi-color Sharpie sets like I am, you will have an immediate visceral reaction to this collection. Second, if you haven't tried the Glide-On eye pencils, they are unbelievable workhorses and deserve all the recognition they've received over the years. Cole told me that organic carnauba wax lends some of the smoothness, which is this pencil's signature. You have 30-40 seconds to smudge, and then it sets and stays put.

Kelly Cutrone is Casting Her New MTV Show; Here’s Who She’s Looking For

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 08:47 AM PST

We knew that Kelly Cutrone, who has become the beloved Dr. Phil-esque lifestyle guru of the fashion world (as well as an actual correspondent for Dr. Phil), was working a new show but didn’t know much about it.

A casting notice reveals that Cutrone’s new show for MTV will be more like an extension of her role on Dr. Phil than a Kell on Earth redux. Cutrone’s new show will see the PR legend and best-selling author help folks reach their dreams. “Kelly Cutrone…is here to push you to achieve your goals,” reads the casting notice, “She’s been there, and has the know-how to kick your dreams into gear.”

And she’s looking for some dreamers to kick into gear, Cutrone-style, which will probably mean lots of blunt, no-nonsense but loving advice. If you’re 18-23 here’s here’s what you need to know (non-fashion dreamers are welcome to apply, too):
