| Seven Questions For Kate Young Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:00 AM PDT
Kate Young lives a bit of a charmed life. The stylist–who does everything from dressing Natalie Portman for the red carpet to envisioning editorials for Lula–also manages to find time work on fun design projects, including her recent collaboration with Cardigan’s Lynne Hiriak. The friends met while they were both working for Derek Lam (Young styling, Hiriak designing) and have finally teamed up on another project. The results include a perfect cropped sweatshirt and sweatpants, as well as the most adorable little kiddie onesie. (Get yours here.) Jealous, much? Well, Young may have your dream job, but she’s worked her you-know-what off for it. The Brooklyn-based mom recently took time out of her incredibly busy schedule to chat with us about Cardigan, Natalie, and working for Anna Wintour. We heart her even more now.

| Today’s Two Big Web Sales: The Aisle and The Outnet Posted: 05 Apr 2011 06:00 AM PDT
Summer is just around the corner, which means two things in our minds: an exorbitant amount of weddings/markdowns on spring collections. Luckily, those on the hunt for the perfect white gown and those on the hunt for dynamite deals will both be satiated this morning. First up is The Aisle, which debuts Isaac Mizrahi’s bridal collection today at 11am. The iconic New York designer created a capsule for the specialized flash sales site. The full-blown-amazing part is that each dress can be custom made, which means you can plug in your measurements for the perfect fit. We’re obsessed with the peplum style. (The dresses are priced between $2,200 to $4,500.) Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| The Film That Makes Us Want Every Piece in Pret-a-Surf’s Latest Collection Posted: 05 Apr 2011 05:00 AM PDT
La Prochaine Fois (The Next Time) from A76 PRODUCTIONS on Vimeo.
We’ve been obsessing over Pret-a-Surf’s short film “La Prochaine Fois,” mostly because we want to be the star. Not only is she gorgeous in that effortless surfer girl way, she also wears nearly every piece in Pret-a-Surf’s latest collection. While we don’t plan to climb on a surf board any time soon, we do plan on heading to the beach, and that red polka dot bikini is officially perfect. We’re also keen on the gingham tankini with a polka dotted brief, which wasn’t featured in the film. Luckily for us, they’re all available on Shopbop.com.

| New Things We Learned About Anna Wintour on Bloomberg Game Changers Posted: 04 Apr 2011 03:03 PM PDT
The Anna Wintour episode of Bloomberg Game Changers–the show that profiles industry leaders and their rise to the top–aired last Friday. Of course, Wintour herself didn’t appear in the show so they profiled the legendary editrix by talking to people who know her well like buddy Vera Wang, one of her first assistants Laurie Schechter, former Vogue publisher Tom Florio, and Condé Nast ceo Charles Townsend. Despite Wintour’s absence from the program–”Wintour manages her media profile carefully and declined to participate in this program”–is how the show put it, we learned a lot about her.

| Jessica Szohr Talks To Us About Armpits (Among Other Things) Posted: 04 Apr 2011 02:00 PM PDT
Do you love your armpits? Chances are that most women will answer “no” to this question. In fact, Dove interviewed 534 women between the ages of 18-64 and a whopping 93% think their pits are the pits. Not shocking. The next question: would you use a product that claims to make them prettier? Today Dove is launching Dove Ultimate Go Sleeveless deodorant/anti-perspirant, which supposedly provides 24 hours of wetness protection while also giving your underarms a dose of vitamins, a humectant, and moisturizers. In five days, Dove says you'll have softer, smoother underarms. The deodorant is also formulated to minimize telltale white deodorant marks on your clothes. (If only it could get rid of annoying stubble and flabby biceps, too.) Jessica Szohr, of Gossip Girl fame, teamed up with Dove to promote Go Sleeveless, and we got to chat with her during New York Fashion Week this past February at Milk Studios where she was doing a photo shoot with Dove. She was wearing cut off denim shorts and ass-kicking Dsquared pointy wingtip oxfords; she also has enviably thick hair and seriously amazing skin.

| Exclusive: American Apparel Launches Denim Amidst Rumors of Bankruptcy Posted: 04 Apr 2011 01:23 PM PDT
American Apparel has dominated the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons: former employees alleging that the label’s founder, Dov Charney, sexually harassed them; the company recently reported a net loss of $86.3 million for 2010; today’s WWD reports that “a looming April 30 deadline that could cut off its ability to borrow from banks and cover daily operating costs, which could potentially trigger a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.” In spite of all that–and perhaps in some part because of the troubles the label is facing–American Apparel is launching denim. “Jeans are an iconic, essential part of the modern wardrobe, just like the t-shirt,” Charney said in a press release announcing the launch. “No one does basics like American Apparel. We’ve mastered the basic t-shirt, now we’re getting excited about jeans.” American Apparel’s denim line has been in development for a year and will be in store tomorrow (and trickling into a few stories today). The line launches with two styles for women–a high-waist tapered leg blue jean and a high-waist cuffed jean short–and plans to roll out a heavy-weight untreated men’s jean for back to school. The jeans will be produced in American Apparel’s LA factory, using 100% cotton 14 ounce denim which is thicker–i.e. made to be broken in. The jeans will retail for $80, and the sewing and dying process to complete a single pair of jeans uses more than 40 fair wage workers. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
