| Our Latest Obsession: Ikat Print Posted: 01 Jul 2010 04:02 PM PDT Though the tribal print trend seems to be heading out the door, there is something so cute and chic about the ikat print specifically that makes us want to wear it in as many ways as possible. It’s been on a few runways recently, including as Dries Van Noten, Gucci, Marc and Balenciaga. Our love for ikat blossomed even more yesterday when we checked out Cynthia Vincent’s upcoming Resort 2011 accessories collection, which was full of the colorful print. See above for our inspiration and click through for some more accessible pieces you can buy right now.

Her clothes are sexy yet tomboyish, girly but with an edge. For Fall ‘10, we are loving the brown leather jacket and skirt, the oversized jackets, velvet pants and a menswear shirt with cut-outs. For Holiday ‘10, we are really into an army green cargo vest, the not-too-frilly party dresses, and geometric paneling.

| Last Night’s Party: Dree Hemingway Sparkles Atop The Standard for Ferragamo Posted: 01 Jul 2010 03:03 PM PDT
The model of the evening was Dree Hemingway, the face of Ferragamo’s new scent. She looked stunning in a shimmering metallic floor-length gown from Ferragamo’s Fall 2010 collection, accented with gold Gaia Repossi jewelry. Ferragamo’s got a loyal following with a more mature crowd, so they’re hoping Hemingway’s “it-girl” status will rope in a younger clientele. “I mean, the fact that I like to wear is a good sign, right?” she told us. “It’s just easy to throw on.” So how does it smell? We’ll let Hemingway give you her take: “I think it’s like a bouquet of white roses,” she said. Sounds good. We’re no scent connoisseurs, but Attimo smells floral and light and posh to us.

| Inside the Garment Center: Yeohlee Teng Takes Us To Regal Originals Posted: 01 Jul 2010 12:13 PM PDT
“The Garment Center is a hub for research and development,” she told me yesterday as we walked through Regal Originals, a 50-plus-year-old firm that does trimmings and pleating for big name designers. Teng compares the Center to a delicate ecosystem–it produces beautiful, rare things and needs to be nurtured. The designer began working with Regal about a year ago. Rodger Cohen, the owner of the firm, is also heavily involved in efforts to preserve the area. They were introduced through acquaintances, and came up with some cool pleating ideas. Teng is always looking to innovate, so they did some work with cross pleats, which kind of looks like a fancy waffle pattern. (You can check it out in our tour of the factory.) Cohen even initially sent Teng vignettes of different styles to show her what they might look like. Because of proximity–they’re only two blocks away from each other–the project was able to go from project to reality in less than a year. Like the other companies we’ve profiled for this series, Regal understands that in this age, mass production happens overseas. And that’s that. But Cohen and his family (the company was established by his father-in-law) also believe that there’s a space for special clothes. He wants young designers to know that they can produce high-quality garments just blocks away from their studios, and at a price comparable with high-end pieces made abroad. Click through to take a tour of Regal Originals, courtesy of Rodger Cohen, Yeohlee Teng, and the rest of Cohen’s fantastic staff.

| Fashion Gone Rogue Sued For Copyright Infringement; Goes On Hiatus Posted: 01 Jul 2010 11:18 AM PDT  Freja Beha Erichsen by Terry Richardson for Vogue Nippon August 2010 Fashion Gone Rogue, our go-to site for fashion editorials from high fashion mags we can’t afford to buy, went on hiatus today after image licensing agency Trunk Archive threatened to sue for copyright infringement. Trunk Archive took issue with an image of Lily Donaldson being used for the header of the site, and fired off this email to Joanna Gillespie, the site’s curator: We ask that you remove this image from your website immediately. In addition, we require payment of a $2,000 copyright infringement fee. Please remit payment today to Trunk Archive, at the address below. If the image remains as part of your logo by this time tomorrow, and if we have not received a check from you by July 6th, 2010, our lawyers will be in immediate contact.
Too much meaning the request for $2K – she was happy to pull the image after receiving notice. It’s tricky to navigate around image rights in the online fashion world. Trunk Archive is a licensing agency–they own the rights to the image in question and they have the right to sue when it is used without permission. But many sites, like Style.com, seem to not care when other sites use their images as long as they’re credited and there is a link back to their site (or they just don’t know about it). And FGR takes pains to credit the photographer and magazine for every spread they post. While Gillespie admitted that she did take the image in question from Trunk Archive (which she believes was originally a Vogue Nippon Cover), many photographers, including ones repped by Trunk, send her their work to publish on FGR. For good reason, too. The site receives 3 million hits a month. “Photography should be seen and shared, and my site promotes this,” says Gillespie. “I don’t understand why I am getting punished for that.” Fortunately, the kerfuffle has since been resolved. Turns out one of the photogs was peeved and contacted Trunk. Trunk has since smoothed things over with the photographer and FGR is in the clear as long as the image in question is taken down. PHEW.

| Pretty in Pink: Eight Blushing Items We Want Now Posted: 01 Jul 2010 10:25 AM PDT
Right now I'm typing on a Macbook covered in a hot pink shell, have a Blackberry with a fuchsia skin, and am reading from notes in my watermelon hued journal. Mind you, I don't dress in pink from head to toe, but I have quite a bit of pink in my closet. Not sweet pink. Loud pink. Is it only for tweens? Well, I'm the most, um, mature writer at Fashionista. I mean age, not experience and wisdom. So I'm either regressing or empowered. I'm not really sure. Just in time for the height of summer, here are my favorite pink things. Please, use them sparingly.

Happy Coco Rocha Month!: Each month at Vogue UK, a fashionista is invited to give readers a daily peek inside her wardrobe. Past months have included Alexa Chung and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. Today is Coco’s first day. Check out her Topshop shorts and Aldo shoes. {Vogue UK} Lohan’s Latest Law Battle: Lindsay Lohan apparently picked up $17,060.83 worth of clothing from L.A. boutique Church and didn’t pay for them, claiming her “business manager” would foot the bill. Lindsay is definitely at fault here, but we think Church should take a little responsibility for, i don’t know, letting a crazy celebrity walk out of their store without paying for 17 grand worth of merchandise. {TMZ} Stylists Battle it Out: Theory is hosting a style-off between Annabel Tollman, J. Errico and Dani Stahl to benefit the charity of their choice. Head over to the brand’s Facebook page today to vote for your favorite, and you’ll be entered to win a $750 gift card! {Facebook}

| Cynthia Rowley Designs For Pampers Posted: 01 Jul 2010 08:24 AM PDT
The mother of two has designed a line of printed diapers to be sold at Target starting mid July. Rowley believes parents want more choice when it comes to wrapping up their babies’ bums, and given Huggies recent launch of the “Jeans Diaper,” she might be onto something. The collection includes 11 pastel styles for boys and girls in madras, stripes, and ruffles. Would you put your baby in designer diapers?

| Kristin Prim and Sky Ferreira to Star in Diesel’s Spring 2011 Campaign? Posted: 01 Jul 2010 07:00 AM PDT
An educated tipster informs us that teen fashion editor Kristin Prim and up-and-coming pop star Sky Ferreira have been tapped to star in Diesel’s Spring 2011 ad campaign. We’ve checked into it, and our sources have corroborated the claim. (We’re still waiting to hear back from Diesel.) Prim and Ferreira, virtual unknowns beyond a certain set, are interesting choices to lead a campaign. However, we’re betting Ferreira will be much bigger by spring than she is now. And Prim’s appointment proves that the ingenue blogger/editor isn’t going away anytime soon. Whether or not Diesel is sticking with the “Be Stupid” slogan remains unclear.

The inspiration for Barlow ranges from Marshmallow Peeps to Saved by the Bell to the movie Tron. Only a couple of seasons old, Barlow is designed by Molly Girard Coonan, the granddaughter of iconic textile designer Alexander Girard. A protégé of Cynthia Vincent, Coonan possesses the bloodlines and the training to be a very talented designer. She also just seems really cool.
We fought our way up the (intentionally) graffiti-ed stairs at The Standard last night to stop by Ferragamo’s launch party for their new fragrance, Attimo. It was the first official fête at the Standard’s new rooftop hot-spot, Le Bain, and the AstroTurf roof was packed with models and socialites. 
But the most absurdly compelling feature of the party was the recreation of the ad campaign by way of an inflatable circular bed smack in the middle of the roof top. Two models in various states of undress lay in the bed, and party goers were encouraged to jump in with them. We watched hostess Chiara Clemente and Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld test out the mattress. And, no, we did not jump in bed with the models.

Do you have a creative eye, artistic-sensibilities, and the ability to work in a deadline-driven environment? Who What Wear (WWW) is seeking a full-time Photo Editor with impeccable research skills and a keen eye for and interest in fashion and celebrity. If you're a self-starter with the ability to recognize subtle, interesting, and on-the-cusp trends, this could be right up your alley. 
Gillespie subsequently shut the site down with the message, “NOTE – The site is currently on hiatus. This is just too much.”
I was cringing a little bit when Lauren's 
Bedbugs take over Hollister: SoHo’s biggest annoyance has become a breeding ground for one of NYC’s biggest annoyances: bedbugs. The infestation has shut down the store indefinitely and will likely cause even bigger problems for the company, from returns to lawsuits to no one wanting to go within 1,000 feet of that store because bedbugs are so gross. Although the store is closed, they’ve apparently stationed three shirtless models as a sign of tenacity or something. {
Cynthia Rowley is really getting her name out there. Hot on the heels of her collection for Roxy and her line of bridesmaid dresses, Rowley is launching yet another collaboration. For Pampers. Really.
Let the Spring 2011 rumors begin swirling…
