Haute Coffee!

11 Oct

 

The amazingly talented indie design duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte announced  that they have collaborated with mega-coffee chain Starbucks. This means everyone can buy a little piece of Rodarte without breaking the bank!  The collaboration will include  four limited-edition items that are set to go on sale at select Starbucks locations  and online  November 13th, 2012.  A modern pixelated checkerboard print that is aimed to appeal to both men and women will be featured on a tumbler ($13.95), reusable cup sleeve ($5.45), tote bag ($13.95) and a limited-edition gift card as well. For the design duo, it’s a chance to put their name — and their edgy conceptual style — out to a new audience. Their designs are not exactly in line with mass-market taste.   “Our clothing is specialized,” Laura Mulleavy recently said in an interview “and when we are thinking of Rodarte, we choose things that say who we are as designers, but we’re not limited to that. We like the idea of collaborations and putting our thought process somewhere else.”

In the world of fashion magazines, the September issue is the most anticipated copy of the year. Crammed with glossy editorials, beautiful images and Fall ad campaigns, these issues are the ‘bible’ of fashion for months to come and are often the biggest issues of the year.  U.S. Vogue produced it’s biggest issue ever this year with 916 pages, weighing in at nearly five pounds!!!!! Here is a roundup of this years major covers from around the globe.

NARS to Launch Andy Warhol Collection (sneak peek)

25 Aug

This Holiday season Nars will launch a highly anticipated Andy Warhol collection.  The makeup is not only inspired by Warhol but will include his prints and photographs on the packaging as well.  The collection will consist of two different stories so to speak, the first named “pop art ” will pay homage to the funky bright pop art that the eccentric artist is known for and the second collection named “the factory” will aim for the more glamorous, sophisticated feel of Warhol’s New York City workspace that was a hot spot for the artsy crowd and famed for its star studded parties. The collection has no shortage of palettes and will include blush, lip gloss, nail color and more. The Sephora exclusive pop art line is set to launch October 1st at U.S. Sephora stores while the factory is set to launch at department and specialty stores worldwide November 1st.

Model Robyn Lawley Promotes Healthy Body Image

12 Aug

Meet Robyn Lawley, a gorgeous 6’2″ Australian beauty who is taking the modeling world by storm.   Lawley has been featured in countless magazines including Elle and Vogue and made history becoming the first plus sized model to pose for Ralph Lauren.  The 23-year-old was an instant inspiration for girls around the world when she was featured on last years July cover of Vogue Italia with fellow plus sized models Tara Lynn and Candice Huffine.  Lawley was also recently named the new face of UK lingerie brand Boux Avenue.    …..If you’re still looking for the “plus sized” model , the pictures below are correct, like buxom beauties who came before her i.e. Crystal Renn and Marilyn Monroe, Lawley is equivalent to an american size 12 which is quite a common size but considered plus sized in the modeling world. Lawley though doesn’t think of herself as “plus-sized”, she prefers to use the term “normal sized” and is an activist supporting healthy body image, particularly for young girls with low self-­esteem, and also has a food blog called Robyn Lawley Eats.  Bravo to beauty in all forms.
