| Copenhagen’s Nom de Plume Introduces Us to the Strapless Men’s Onesie (and We’ve Got Video) Posted: 02 Feb 2011 03:35 PM PST
COPENHAGEN–Following Ecco’s kick-off event, avant-garde label Nom de Plume (and by avant-garde we mean really out there) showed their AW 2011 menswear collection at the Royal Danish Academy of Music. If you thought, like I did, that “Royal Danish Academy of Music” meant fancy setting, and you thought “Nom de Plume,” meant fancy French-inspired designs, you would be wrong. The show was set in what seemed to be a small performance space/rehearsal room that hadn’t been updated since the 1960s and the show opened with two men dressed as samurai running around the room waving red flags. Which is fitting since the show was titled “Shinobi No Mono” (this apparently means “he who is hidden” in Japanese) and the first section of the show was very literally Japanese-inspired: from kimonos to getas duct-taped to the models feet to geisha-esque red lip smears. The show lost the Japanese thread about halfway through and there were steampunky looks, and several guys in white linen blouses and black bottoms that looked inspired by Jean-Paul Gaultier–not his clothes but the man himself. But most importantly, Nom de Plume introduced us to a tailored strapless onesie for men–albeit with a collared button down attached (it was not at all like this other Scandinavian onesie we love so much). It was rag tag and amazing nonetheless, mostly because of the earnestness of it all. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Northern Exposure: Nine Obsession-Worthy Canadian Labels Posted: 02 Feb 2011 02:40 PM PST
I grew up in a cottage on Lake Michigan, just hours from the Canadian border. As a Midwestern girl, I appreciate unassuming, practical clothes. My boots should keep my toes warm and I want to wear the same shirt twice a week, without anyone noticing. This is why I’m a little obsessed with clothing designed by our neighbors to the North. The Canadian brands I love are simple and sophisticated. The outerwear blocks the weather and the under layers are beautiful and basic. Perfect for the cottage or the city: I swear.

Gap is all over the news today. The front page of this morning’s WWD reveals that Gap Inc's chairman and CEO, Glenn Murphy, has cleaned house at the brand. Marka Hansen, the former president of Gap North America, was sacked and will be succeeded by Art Peck, president of Gap Inc.'s outlet division and executive vice president of corporate strategy. And, Ogilvy & Mather Wolrdwide is the new ad agency for Gap. (That means Laird + Partners, the label’s longtime creative agency, is out.) Pam Wallack, currently president of Gap Adult North America, will become executive director of the new Gap Global Creative Center, based in NYC. In a move reflecting Gap's serious need to attract more creative talent, the Global Creative Center will function as a central headquarters for design. As WWD points out, it's probably easier to find design talent in NYC than in San Francisco where the brand is currently headquartered. Gap’s creative director, Patrick Robinson, has definitely done his part in improving the design and image of Gap. The second free-standing 1969 store just opened today in NYC. The first is in LA. These stores are meant to highlight the two-year-old Gap spin-off brand 1969, to offer pieces that are currently in Japanese and European Gap stores, and to be a showpiece for the "cool, sexy part of the brand," as Patrick Robinson mentioned to me at the opening of the store this morning.

| Ecco Kicks Off Copenhagen Fashion Week With Oversized Puppet Heads Posted: 02 Feb 2011 11:54 AM PST
COPENHAGEN–Last night Danish shoe brand Ecco kicked off Copenhagen fashion week with their annual “Walk In Style” event–an awards/fashion show they’ve been putting on for the last four years to recognize women (i.e. Scandinavian socialite types) for their contributions to charity, but also to show off the fall collections. First, a bit about Ecco: I’ve gotten to know a lot about Ecco over the past few days as they’ve been my gracious fashion week hosts. So to clarify, Ecco has nothing to do with Mark Ecko (as in, they couldn’t be more different). Ecco is a Denmark-based shoe company that has been around for over 40 years and currently employs over 15,000 people across the globe–they are also the third largest producer of casual footwear in the world. Ecco is unique in that they own all of their own production–from the tanneries that treat the leather (they use everything from camel to yak leather) to the factories that produce the shoes.

Lindsay Pulls A Winona? A $2,500 one-of-a-kind necklace went missing from a Venice, CA jewelry store in late January and *gasp* Lindsay Lohan is under suspicion as the thief. It's unclear why Lindsay was named as a culprit, but the necklace magically appeared at an LAPD station before police obtained a search warrant to search her home. {People} Diane Kruger Is Not An Impulse Shopper: Continuing our trend of celebrities who don't spend money (see Keira Knightley yesterday), today we learn that Diane Kruger took six years debating about whether to buy an Hermes Constance bag, which she has wanted her whole life. After she signed with Calvin Klein she decided the time was right. "I truly broke a sweat when I paid for it," she told Vogue UK. {VogueUK} Glamour Just Got A Little More Glamorous: Anne Christensen is Glamour's new fashion editor, and her mark will be obvious in the upcoming March issue of the mag (and yep, that's Diane Kruger on the cover). Bruce Weber shot some editorials and there are 17% more fashion pages (we're assuming they're not "Do's and Dont's”). The April issue will have 26% more fashion pages than last year's, WWD reports. A Tumblr and more street style are also in the works. {WWD, subscription required} Nicole Richie Is Gilt-y: Gilt has teamed with Nicole Richie to sell her (full price) lines, House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate; it’s up on the site now. The sale ends Sunday at midnight. Check out the video interview with Nicole Richie on the site. {Gilt} Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Brad Goreski Could Be Your Fashion Week Chauffeur And Other Wacky NYFW Sponsorship News Posted: 02 Feb 2011 08:09 AM PST
New York Fashion Week’s corporate sponsors are very important because more often than we’d like to admit they provide our meals for the week (thank you Frappuccino and Pop Chips–not so much Muscle Milk). Here are this coming fashion week’s sponsors, as per IMG’s latest release: Mercedes-Benz (duh), DHL, American Express, Maybelline New York, TRESemmé, Starbucks Frappuccino Coffee Drink, W Hotels Worldwide, AOL, Diet Pepsi, Kim Crawford Wines, ideeli, the Heart Truth Campaign, Fiji water, and the New York Times. It’s the same old crew for the most part, but their approach to sponsorship has gotten more innovative and in some cases, just plain weird. Most notably, Mercedes-Benz has hired Brad Goreski to go on “patrol” in the brand’s new 2012 CLS 63 AMG to seek out “stylesetters with fresh, creative design looks and alluring appeal,” and award them for superior styling with a ride to their next show. Goreski will be supported by a team of “Fashion Enforcers,” and Lauren is one of them. She will carry a nightstick along with her Chanel 2.25 so get your game outfits on (JK!). What’s more, “a lucky few will receive an invitation to the culmination event in the Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge.” Even more incentive to look your best and be cold and pained in too-high heels during fashion week!
