Photography: adidas We’ve heard Stella McCartney’s name many times this year and its only March, add this to the list. Last week, adidas by Stella McCartney launched its spring/summer 07 collection and she introduced a new line, Gym Yoga as a new category. The new category is inspired by ballet and dance, her designs has always been very stylish and the best thing about her adidas collection is that it is also highly functional.

Are we sick of celebrity/model designer lines yet? Well, for sure this won’t be the last, we just need to hope for the best. Sarah Jessica Parker bka Carrie Brad-shaw on “Sex and the City” has teamed up with Steve & Barry to exclusively sell her new line, Bitten. When I think of SJP, I think of Prada, Manolo, Jimmy Choo, etc. all the high-end designer brands, but Bitten is the opposite, most pieces will cost only $19.98 or less. The inspiration came from none other than her personal closet, the collection is divided into four categories, Classics, suitable...

Photography: style.com It feels llike a battle between H&M and Target to tap designers to do collabs with them, I haven’t heard anything about the next H&M collab yet. But Target is sure very busy, they announced that the next duo, Cindy Greene and Johnson Hartig of Libertine are set to release their capsule collection in mid-July, this time the collection will be in stores for only two months. Libertine is best known for their signature silk-screens on one-of-a kind reconstructed vintage, perhaps we’ll see some of those? via nitro:licious...

Cole Haan Nike Air

March 15, 2007

To be honest with you, I never saw this coming but it really makes sense since Cole Haan is owned by Nike. Cole Haan collaborated with Nike Lab to create a state of art high heel. As a short lady, I always want to look taller in heels BUT the downside to heels are they make my feet hurt! A lot of brands like Tara Subkoff for Easy Spirit and Aerosoles strive to make their comfort shoes but I have both and they still hurt after awhile. I can’t shop in heels for a few hours like I can...

It seems like every week we hear about a new designer collaboration, perhaps if you’re not collaborating with another brand you’re not kewl? Well, I absolutely love crossovers because the price points are always lower and it has a very special effect, ideas/creations can be broader and it is def fresh. I’ve just learned that COMME des GARCONS did a crossover with Speedo to create a womens and mens swimwear collection. I think this is a great collection for the athletes, I don’t personally wear one piece bathing suits but the designs are simple and on point. I especially...

Photography: Target The next Target collection after Patrick Robinson is Libertine, teaser images are now available for preview. I hate that the images are so tiny…I’m straining my eyes trying to pick out what I like, I’m def liking what I see so far. I can’t wait till July, this collection releases on July 15th, so does that mean they’re changing their 90-days to 60-days, I sure hope they do, it gets really boring after awhile. Oh boy, I’m gonna have fun with these and of course go bankrupt! I know all of you guys like to know how...
