Barbie Fall Wardrobe Designer Update

Girls do love their dolls, don’t they? So it would be slightly unfair to only preoccupy ourselves with our fall wardrobe and ignore our dolls friends’s closet. More fashionable, the better!

So who’s dressing Barbie this fall? Design luminaries from the uber trendsetting London such as Fred Butler, Nasir Mazhar and Sister by Sibling. The special designs will be exhibited and sold through Selfridges where an entire department will be dedicated to Barbie and her fashion throughout the years and styles. But our beloved doll is a complete fashionista and she likes to keep an open wardrobe so the much-loved American label Coach is making its best to fit into her brand-full closet.

…you’re to decide if you’ll follow them or not, but this is a brief breakdown of the most important style proposals from our beloved celebrities!

{1} Unusual jewelry : we’ve seen it before and we know it’s working. Strange looking jewelry will always appeal to the daring fashion followers out there (especially when the effervescent Ke$ha is behind a strange looking jewelry collection called Ke$ha Rose by Charles Albert with shapes like teeth, shark tooth, certain parts of the human body modeled into rings, earrings and such and more pieces looking less extraordinary that you can see for yourself at kesharosebycharlesalbertdotcom)

TV is the new black. If you have any doubts about that, just think ‘Homeland’ ‘Modern Family‘, ‘Breaking Bad’ or more recently ‘Ray Donovan’, ‘The Bridge’ and all the dazzling teasers of this fall’s series.

The Bridge is the talk of the day. While we used to have an iconic TV series every two years or so (HBO used to be leading the iconic pack), nowadays an iconic series every month or so is to be expected. I have watched several episodes from The Bridge and still didn’t decide if this will be my next must watch show. Should it ever become so, Diane Kruger is to blame.

Her trendsetting value, her selfmade fashionista principles and style convictions made a Kruger believer out of me! The images below will only showcase a handful of instances from Diane Kruger’s on and off the spotlight’s magic eye, feel free to become a Krugliever yourself and scoop deeper!

Suitable for a new week, topics about new life keep flooding the virtual newsroom keeping everyone buzzing the happy bulletins. We talked about Luna Bardem-Cruz, but have you heard about Gemma Ward being pregnant?

If only a couple of months ago, the rumors placed Gemma on the runway, now they made an 180 turn, placing her in the maternity this November when her baby is allegedly due. While we’re completely over the moon with excitement as any new baby is always reason to celebrate, we can’t help but wonder what the fashion future holds next for the beautiful mom-to-be.

oh, and just in case you’re wondering who the happy father is David Letts, also a model whose on and off relationship with the Australian model wasn’t all that promising. But here they are! And here we are, waiting for Gemma’s comeback on a Vogue cover and she’s six months along, so bring on the baby bump pics, thank you! (also in Vogue if possible)

You might remember that when the wee Royal Baby came into the world, the very same day Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem added a little girl to their happy family. Well, we finally have a name for the wee one: Luna! How beautiful is that? But that’s just a pretext to bring in discussion the real reason behind today’s story: underwear. Agent provocateur is releasing an affordable label called ‘l’Agent‘. For the occasion, the marketing department thought it would be a nice idea to expand their collaboration with the beautiful and famous behind the camera also.

Penelope Cruz has written and directed a short commercial clip for l’Agent conveying so many of men’s classic cliche fantasies that this could very well make an adults movie, the 6min concentrated version. With a glorious cast and an electric soundtrack, Penelope’s first foray into behind-the-camera cinematography is pretty promising.

I’m feeling sporty today, what can I say? (must be that unusual workout routine I talked about yesterday?) So I scooped for you 3 interesting, funky new sneakers releases you should definitely look into for more than just workout or sports related purposes!

Because, as you well know, whatever you wear/own has to make a statement. About you, your interests, your tastes. Your look is your self-card, it represents you – or so it should. So a sneaker is more than just a simple sneaker. Let’s take a look at my special sneaker selection:

A Justin Bieber story that has nothing to do with another one of his tasteless tattoos? Yes, it can happen! Especially since I woke up today to a story about Justin Bieber’s stage antics and then I found another story showing his brilliant advertising for Adidas. Justin Bieber likes to keep the spotlight concentrated on his little persona because – beliebers will tell you so – he’s such a huge entertainer! {yawn!}

First things first: during a concert, the young (he’s 19, by the way!) Bieber asked his audience to refrain from throwing things on stage. His audience complied. Somewhat. Various items started flying in his direction and, while he refused them politely by kicking them away from the stage with the same saying ‘I don’t need this… ‘, he did picked up a phone saying that he doesn’t need ‘another iphone’ and slipped it in his pants. (yep, you’re reading that right, hit the jump to find out what happened next!)

Although Fashion is a form of Art, the financial factor has swept pretty much everything in his path to becoming the master influence of all trends and fashions. As it was to be expected, the artistic factor being of secondary importance, it is usually undermined by the big $$$. Fashion lost a lot of its value as Art and gained more on the stock market.

But in those rare occasions we’re treated with true creativity, with genuine artistic inspiration in fashion but also fashion inspired installation/exhibitions/artistic releases of any kind, it would a true loss not to discuss them and highlight them as they’re worth. Today I’d like us to concentrate on five of those instances some of them dealing with traditional clothing items in a new perspective, some with unconventional material used as fabric.
