* sonia rykiel reveals her skivvies @ h&m...


h&m has a ton of designers on deck for affordable fashion projects & this time they are getting a little more intimate. sonia rykiel is designing a lingerie line that channels the 1950's. the super sweet & flirty collection is set to hit h&m stores worldwide december 5th.



* shop it up fellas...
affordable fashion isn't only for the ladies. collabos are being done for men's lines as well! ruffian designers, brian wolk & claude morals, have been signed on by macy's to design a private label men's collection called threads & heirs. the collection takes inspiration from the hip neighborhood of williamsburg in brooklyn, ny & is focused on the "grab & go guy". there is fashion love all around!



* fashion's night out part deux...
the date has been set for round two of fashion's night out shopping, in-store events, & celeb sightings galore. september 9th, 2010 is sure to be bigger & better than this year's event & will include international cities such as london, paris, milan, moscow, berlin, madrid, athens, sao paulo, new delhi, taipei, tokyo, & beijing. shop til you f'n drop!!!



* jimmy choo's pep squad...
a limited edition jimmy choo capsule collection of shoes, bags, & small accessories will be unveiled in stores november 4th with procedes going toward african women & children exposed to hiv. the charity project, called project pep, refers to the post exposure prophylaxis - a medication that in most cases stops the virus from taking hold in the body if treatment is administered within 72 hours of exposure. 25% of net sales of the pep line will be donated to the elton john aids foundation. the money will support funding of the simelela rape center in cape town & allow it to remain open 24 hours a day. shopping never felt so good!



* lanvin breaks rules & i think it's cool...
a fashion show in a sumo wrestling stadium?! lanvin did it with about 1,000 guests to preview his spring 2010 collection in japan's ryogoku kokugikan sumo stadium. i love designers who push the envelope! creative director alber elbaz pondered locations for the show, including museums & temples, but the sumo stadium appealed to him because he is a fan of the sport & he wanted to break a cultural taboo. women are traditionally prohibited from entering the stadium's center ring because it is considered a sacred space. rules smules...blah blah blah!

daily candy, the internet company known for its shopping, trend, restaurant, & travel recommendations - as well as daily newsletters to members - will launch an e-commerce members only site next month called swirl. swirl is sure to be my weakness! i don't even think you're ready for this!!!... swirl will offer private sample sales three days a week on mondays, wednesdays, & fridays. each sale will last 72 hours & include both established & up-&-coming designers in apparel & accessories.  sign up to become a member of swirl at http://www.swirl.com/

* this is just crazy!!!...


lamborghini & watch company tag heuer have teamed up to create a limited edition of a luxury cell phone called the meridiist with a design based on the sexy murcielago lp 640. only 1963 phones will be made, paying homage to the year lamborghini was founded, with an enormously huge price tag of $7500. the phone is constructed from stainless steel & coated in black titanium carbide (really hard stuff :~}) & it can be bought in various colors of leather, alligator skin, & rubber. the screen is made from sapphire crystal & is scratch resistant. each phone will be engraved with the limited edition (xxxx/1963) number on the back. it ain't trickin if you got it huh?
