DKNY’s Sartorialist FW 09 Campaign

Rumor has it that Scott Schuman’s ad campaign for DKNY could turn into tradition: he was spotted photographing for the Fall 2009 campaign. His compagne, Garance Dore is also believed to be involved. Looks like Sarto is finally making star demands since he brought his girlfriend for the project… (Fashionologie)

Barack Obama on the cover of a Magazine is hardly unusual given his historic dimension. But seeing him on the cover of a magazine shaking hands with Terry Richardson? Japanese Magazine Commons&sense Man American Life cover of the Spring Summer 2009 issue feature Barack Obama and Terry Richardson. Why? (via Hypebeast)

It’s the year of the Barbie! If the Kaiser has a mini-me Ken doll besides dressing up the Barbie, we absolutely have to check our watches and set it all on the Barbie hour!

Of course it’s one thing to celebrate Barbie’s year in the privacy of your own playground and a completely different one to wear it before the world! Piers Atkinson’s hats collection for this fall is called “The Princess and the Frog” and has very little to do with Disney’s upcoming animation movie! (the story continues after the jump!)

Fierce fabulous and flawless news department giving you exclusive preview to the Fiercest of them all, Christian Siriano’s Makeup collection for Victoria’s Secret!

Starting this very fall, you can look as fierce as possible using Christian Siriano makeup. At the first glance, I’d say that Christian Siriano for VS Makeup (at least the packaging, the characters used) looks very much like Yves Saint Laurent’s makeup collections. (it’s just me? Or do you see the fierce resemblance too?)

Christian Siriano for VS Makeup starts at $12 (the eyeliner) and tops at $32 (the luxe face brush). Everything else (five shadow shades, a bronzer-highlighter, three gloss colors) plus the ruffled cosmetics bag falls in between. Fierce, fabulous and flawless, isn’t it? (via)

I wonder if there’s a marketing how-to book guiding celeb to their appropriate celeb-design self, the right design for the right celeb. Nicole Richie has jewelry (and soon, shoes), Lindsay Lohan has leggings and self tanner, Kate Moss adds a cookbook to her TopShop empire and so on.

Those dreaming about Eva Mendes can even buy a set of bedsheets designed by Eva Mendes herself! Now for those dreaming of Cindy Crawford (still), we’ve got her Cindy Crawford Style home furnishing and accessories! (the story continues after the jump!)

If you heard about LVMH and you had no idea if that was a new Louis Vuitton bag or something to do with some Metropolitan Museum, here’s your chance to be shallow no more! A complete guide to Bernard Arnault’s Groupe Arnault LVMH companies has been published by the Wall Street Journal Magazine in an interview with Bernard Arnault himself! (via Hypebeast)

There was a time when toting your branded paper bag around was truly fancy work. The Kaiser knew that when he showed us his Spring Summer 2009 Collection with those Chanel paper-like bags!

Now it seems that the economy has brought branded paper bags to shame and people don’t feel the same superiority and snobbish pride they used to when they walk around with their luxurious paper bags.

Net-A-Porter felt that wind of change and made available a new type of discrete service: you can either choose the luxurious black Net-A-Porter paper bags or the Discreet Packaging for New Yorkers – recycled brown paper bags! Meaning, after the Net-A-Porter standard, discreet equals eco-conscious, right? (via)

Sienna Miller, the blonde (homewrecking) Brit bombshell has been the target of a Vice experiment. The conclusions were rather harsh: Sienna only eats dessert and uses cheap Schwartzkopf Supersoft Yoghurt and Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner. Talking about gorgeous hair secrets! (Vice)
