Karl Lagerfeld Macy’s Collection

Karl Lagerfeld is preaching his fashion wisdom to the masses through a new fast fashion collection: Karl Lagerfeld for Macy’s. It’s not his first encounter with the affordable sartorial racks and it won’t be his last (he’s reportedly signed in for a Holiday collection alongside three other designers, again, at Macy’s).

It’s a limited collection both in number and time as the 45 Lagerfeld Macy’s designs will be available at the end of August for six to eight weeks. If everything goes smooth, Macy’s will stretch the Lagerfeld exposure time. Prices, you ask? From $50 to $170. This dress below is $109 and it was already featured in this month’s Vogue! So I don’t know about you, but I’ll surely be checking out the collection as soon as it arrives!

The fashion land is about to be taken from the hands of fashpeople by the celebpeople. Because they matter most, because they bring in the big bucks.

It’s not about the clothes anymore. It’s about who wears the clothes and about the attitude. Drew Barrymore has a special appeal and Norman Jean Roy partnered with Neiman Marcus to highlight the Fall Winter 2011 2012 fashion as worn by redheaded Drew. And I admit – I really am curious to see the wonderful collaboration! Aren’t you? I always love Drew – she looks so happy and positive all the time!

I recently came across a very legit fashion dilemma: knee high men like socks. For women. Paired with pencil skirts, knee length also – hot or flop?

A very fall – ready pictorial from W Magazine, the August 2011 issue (featuring the gorgeous Karen Elson and photographed by Emma Summerton as styled by Edward Enninful) suggests that the infamous masculine knee high socks would be a must have this fall. And don’t even think about pairing them with military boots, oh, no, honey! They’re the perfectly trendy, stylish and truly fashionable accessory when worn with high heeled shoes or sandals and terribly elegant skirt suits. Now I know where I stand – I’m favorable to wearing those knee high socks, only I would pair them with frilly skirts, jeans shorts or bohemian flowery, mini dresses. Because I’m romantic – hippie that way. How about you? (photos via)

Last I heard, Anja Rubik got married with her beau, Sasha Knezevic in a lovely ceremony in Mallorca, all fancied up in Pucci. However, back to her modeling duties – remember she’s representing for Fendi this upcoming season? (wearing a disgracefully obvious wig)

And that Karl Lagerfeld authored the Fall Winter 2011 2012 ad campaign? By now, only seeing Anja’s picture, you’d logically ask yourselves where’s Baptiste. Eh oui, Mesdames et Messieurs, Baptiste Giabiconi joined the Fendi advertising sheet. He’s playing in Karl’s current art obsession by posing with Anja and three lovely kids for a family painting. (you think I’m just speculating? Oh, no-no no honeys! Think Magnum and Rachel Bilson and you’ll see that the painting thing is a recurrent theme in der Kaiser’s aesthetic!) (via)

Cia Maritima is Brazil’s most important swimwear brand. However, during this year’s Swimwear Fashion Week 2012 from Brazil, something else other than weeny teeny swimsuits caught the public’s attention: Sony Vaio S Series. With three prints matching the swimwear prints, the new Sony Vaio Signature series as designed by Benny Rosset look just as hot as the swimsuits!

Even more. Take a look at the prints below, then check out the videos of the actual 2012 swimsuit collection right after the jump!

Have I told you that I love Maclaren Strollers? I’m a fan! All my kids have enjoyed a Maclaren ride as we had Maclaren Strollers for all of them. Each and every one of our four kids rolled out in Maclaren. Although it may sound suspicious, I assure you, Maclaren doesn’t have the slightest idea who I am and does not, in any way, have any liaison with us. We’re just a pair of extremely satisfied parents / customers who love Maclaren Strollers and warmly, wholeheartedly recommend them!

That was a very long intro to what I wanted to say: Dylan’s Candy Bar teamed up with Maclaren and issued a truly magical, incredibly beautiful stroller: Dylan’s Candy Bar Maclaren Stroller! Take a look! (more images after the jump!)

With rumors about Victoria Beckham (who, mind you, recently gave birth to her baby girl, Harper Seven) covering the upcoming issue of Elle magazine, it doesn’t surprise me the least to find Victoria’s frenemy, Katie Holmes, on the cover of Vogue Espana August 2011.

Vogue Spain but Vogue nonetheless. And not a reprint. She’s looking pretty as usual, for we all know and agree upon the fact that Katie Holmes has very beautiful physical features. What Vogue Spain promises on the very cover, is that they will deliver a Katie Holmes like we’ve never seen her before. Too bad their website doesn’t function when it comes to accessing the August cover story. There’s just the cover preview available and indeed, Katie looks different. Fetish – different. Doesn’t she?

UPDATE: Katie Holmes’ Vogue pictorial shot by Tom Munro is now available and you can find it after the jump – click here for the gallery! (Vogue via)

Valentina by Valentino. Nope. Doesn’t sound good at all. I thought that if I was going to have it in writing, it will look better, because the sound is just not convincing. Valentina is the house of Valentino’s latest perfume for women.

Set to launch this very September 2011, the perfume’s ad campaign fell into the hands of Freja Beha Erichsen. Into her hands, properly, as you will notice yourself the photo of the campaign is strangely out of focus and out of charm. The bottle looks adorable, with the little flowers, ethereal and ultra feminine. The ad, however … (photo via)
