So it’s true, after all! British songbird Lily Allen is the spokesface for Chanel’s upcoming handbags collection ad campaign!
Set to be released in October 2009, Coco Cocoon, the new Chanel bags line will be fronted by Miss Allen looking all princess-ish and lovely as toujours. How beyond! Take that, Emma! (oh, did I ever mentioned [...]

I’m one to think as the British elegantly put it “too poor to buy cheap” that quality is important. But branding and quality are not supposed to come together as one in an effort to spend more just to buy the label.
A $1,600 Prada hat is the perfect example of how to spend all your [...]

Highly stereotyped and unrecognizably styled, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan make it to the dolls/action figures ranks!
This might be a great business opportunity for the dolls/action figures makers, but to my eyes it looks pretty lame. While looking nothing like Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the dolls/action figures representations pretty ruin the Twilight chemistry.

Karl Lagerfeld’s designer qualification is beyond any doubt but not beyond any discussion! Take for instance this new shades model featured in a new photo published on the Chanel website.
Under the name Oversized Sunglasses with a Shape Like No Other you’ve got a special pair of shades with whiskers! Gentlemen, would you wear those Chanel [...]

Even so, DVF’s beach towel normally retails around $120 so we should consider ourselves lucky if grabbing a $75 DVF towel! (doesn’t it make you [...]

We live in hard fashion times! Hermès just launched a graphic design competition with Designboom.
Opening up to new prints and ideas is an incredible opportunity for new designers but also a popular maneuver from the French luxury house. With a given theme (animals, flowers, geometric design, horses, marine life) and silk as canvas, the contests’ [...]

I really was a fan of Hermes Kelly 2 wristwatches. Simple, elegant, the double wrap strap had that je-ne-sais-quoi that caught my watch-eye indefinitely. (actually, price-definitely - I wouldn’t spend $1,400 on a watch!) Now, however, things have changed. There’s a three-wrap strap watch available now. From Burberry.
The only downside is that it’s for men. [...]

When I saw Madonna proudly wearing that madhat-headpiece from Louis Vuitton at the Met Gala this year, I thought it was just her crazy way to thank the brand for extending her spokesface contract for fall (by wearing one of their most atrocious designs).
I was wrong, apparently! Vogue Russia, my next big Vogue – thing, [...]
