They said/We said: Victoria Beckham’s newly released cat-inspired diffusion line has already sold out in London

1 Comment

Victoria Beckham’s newest line with the very James Bond-esque name, Victoria, Victoria Beckham has caused a major fashion ruckus, selling out of Harvey Nichols on its first day in stores.

Inspired by cartoon character Emily the Strange, the line is decidedly mod with ‘60s shifts and Mondrian-worthy colour blocking. The “affordable” collection starts at £395 (which according to our rough calculations is upwards of $600). That’s Carven worthy, people! Yet somehow the steep pricing hasn’t deterred the masses, as there are already waitlists for three dresses, priced at almost $1,000. Canadians have no fear though, the collection is going to be available at Holt Renfrew very soon, and there’s no wait list to report as of today! Read more »

SNP’s word of the day: Blackgeoisie

2 Comments

Illustration by Lewis Mirrett

Word: Blackgeoisie

Meaning: A “new” class of African Americans with money and “fashion power.” (Just typing this, I shuddered.)

Usage: “But if in 2012 the “black-geoisie” has integrated all the white codes, it does not [do so] literally. [There] is always a classic twist, with a bourgeois ethnic reference (a batik-printed turban/robe, a shell necklace, a ‘créole de rappeur’) that recalls the roots.” — a French Elle writer named Nathalie Dolivo in “Black Fashion Power

Watch Lara Stone star in Mercedes-Benz’s new Oz-inspired film. Plus, we’ve got the exclusive behind-the-scenes photos!

Comments

As part of their 2012 Icons of Style campaign, Mercedes-Benz has re-imagined Dorothy’s windswept journey to Oz. Premiering on Nowness today, the Alex Prager–directed short has Lara Stone in the role of the luckiest girl in the world, the backdrop of the moody Californian desert in place of good old Kansas, and the Benz SL Roadster as what we can only guess is Professor Marvel’s fantastical trailer. Watch the film for a peek at Stone’s acting chops, and check out our exclusive behind-the-scenes shots, for all the on-shoot action.

They said/We said: Kate Middleton snubbed by the British Fashion Council! As if!

Comments

Though fashion critics gushed over her wedding dress, thousands flocked to see it in real life, and pieces by designers like Erdem instantly sell out after she’s seen in them, Kate Middleton was overlooked by the British Fashion Council when they announced their shortlist for the 2011 British Style Icon award. As if!

Who was included? Alexa Chung, Lara Stone, Florence Welch, and Victoria Beckham. Sure all of these Brits have It-girl appeal, but none has the extensive coverage surrounding their every outfit as Kate. Outraged by the snub, Telegraph UK encouraged readers to vote on the BFC’s website to include Kate. As of post time, her die-hard fans have spoken and Kate is included in the shortlist.

Ironically, Harper’s Bazaar UK has published their Britain’s 10 best-dressed list today and who else is at the top of the list? Kate, natch. We’re not sure why the duchess was initially left out, but if royal watchers have anything to say about it, she’ll have the award in the bag.

Afternoon beauty fix: Add this season’s hottest colour pop to your nails

Comments

I’d love to try a bright pop of colour on my nails. Which polish should I try?
Deborah Lippman created a beautiful tangerine polish called “Lara’s Theme” ($16, lippmanncollection.com) for it-model Lara Stone. Ultra-bright yet not crossing into neon territory, this certainly one of the season’s most fabulous shades to try.

PFW diary: Gaga for Colette, Chanel and of course… Mugler!

Comments

I wish I could tell you that after a transatlantic red-eye and a nap, my first day in Paris started with something noble, like the sculpture exhibit by contemporary British artist Tony Cragg at the Louvre. But, heck, Colette and Chanel have teamed up to create an “ephemeral boutique,” conveniently around the corner from my hotel!
