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.”

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.
