ChanelW — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:41:00 GMT

Model Eva Herzigova is in Cannes again this year for the film festival. At Monday night's red carpet premiere for "Looking for Eric" the Czech beauty wore a sparkly, nude-colored, semi see-through gown. But this slightly see-through gown is a definite improvement from the gown she wore on the red carpet last year at the Cannes Film Festival (see below). Model Eva Herzigova attended the "Che" premiere at the Palais des Festivals during the 61st International Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2008 in Cannes, France.

Video girl Katerina Graham showed up to a benefit for the Los Angeles Children's Hospital with this completely inappropriate outfit on. A "Dime Piece" tank top with a tongue hanging out, an exposed bra and dripping red lipstick at a hospital benefit for sick CHILDREN. Really? And don't even get me started on those insanely hideous leggings...

Man Sues NOPD Over Right to Wear a Skirt in Public...

ChanelW — Wed, 06 May 2009 18:00:00 GMT

NEW ORLEANS (via HuffPo)- A man sued the New Orleans Police Department, claiming he was harassed by an officer who threatened to arrest him for wearing a black pinstriped skirt to municipal court. Jeremy Don Kerr is asking for $1 in damages, a ruling that his rights were violated, and an order against barring access to public facilities because of gender stereotyping. The department hasn't been served with the lawsuit and hasn't answered the claim in court. Kerr filed the civil rights lawsuit last month. He said he finds skirts more comfortable than pants, and wears them with button-down oxfords or T-shirts. And he said women love it. The Times-Picayune

Anna Sui is Coming To Target!

ChanelW — Wed, 06 May 2009 16:20:00 GMT

My apologies, but I just couldn't hide my excitement about this! And it's going to launch right around my birthday so it's only fitting that I treat myself to a few of her pieces... More info on the Anna Sui, Target collaboration below (via WWD): Target Corp. is hoping a dash of Anna Sui’s downtown New York style will lure thrifty consumers. As the discount retailer pushes to bring designer names to the masses, Sui will be the second participant in Target’s Designer Collaborations series. Bowing on Sept. 13 on target.com and in about 250 select stores across the U.S., Anna Sui for Target will be available through Oct. 17. The Designer Collaborations program features more established talents — Alexander McQueen was the inaugural designer — than the up-and-comers of Target’s Go International. The new program also has an unusual conceit: designers draw inspiration from a collaborative partner, muse or creative element. Sui chose the four main female characters on the CW’s hit show “Gossip Girl.” Sui, this year’s winner of the CFDA Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, has estimated annual sales of $20 million at wholesale, 14 global fragrance and cosmetics licenses and a 42-store franchise in China, Japan, Taiwan and Kuwait. “I have always been a fan of designer partnerships with mass retailers,” Sui told WWD exclusively. “I think it is a great way to bring fashion to everyone. I love Go International and was intrigued with Target’s new take on designer partnerships. It’s a fresh approach. I was able to select a muse or source of creative inspiration to focus the collection around. It is an exciting challenge to try and interpret my aesthetic into a mass-produced product with a specific inspirational source as the focus.”

So Fresh, So Clean, So Young! A 2nd Grader's Style Swagger..

ChanelW — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:26:00 GMT

When you’re the son of Matt Weiner, creator of the impeccably styled TV series "Mad Men", you’ve got serious sartorial standards to live up to. Arlo Weiner has been creating his own style since the age of three—when he asked his parents for a top hat. Soon he’d moved on to striped bow ties, crushed velvet jackets, madras pants, and ascots (yeah, he knows what an ascot is). Arlo Weiner has become one of the sharpest, most original dressers this side of second grade. (Arlo on Dad’s show: “That’s where I’ve gotten a lot of my inspiration.”) His look is part Oliver Twist, part Royal Tenenbaums—eclectic and kidlike, but somehow knowingly so. (His favorite item right now: a fez. “I like to flick the string,” he says.) Even in L.A., a city where half the populace dresses to be noticed, Arlo stands out. A favorite story in the Weiner family is the time perma-cool rocker Beck followed Arlo down the street, so taken was he by the kid’s head-to-toe plaid. Arlo, who plans to start designing his own clothes as soon as his mom gets a sewing machine, likes to mix and match bright colors and patterns. In fact, he’s up for trying just about anything—except sneakers and jeans. “They’re really not my thing,” he confesses. Click men.style.com to see a slideshow of Arlo's hip style.
