Bust Cup DressChristopher Kane’s Topshop line is finally here, and the folks at British retail chain offer us a peek with the collection’s lookbook.

Although the line isn’t due in stores until next month, much buzz has been circulating around the Versace designer’s 39 pieces. By the looks of the photos (seen after the jump), it is obvious as to why the hype has originated.

The collection, ranging from $60 for a scarf to $310 for a dress, unfortunately isn’t the cheapest. With dresses like these, however, I think that I can make quite the exception!

The line is expected to come complete with shoes and bags.

Inspired by JennyApparently it does pay to live in the most fashionable city in the states.

Although Anna Sui’s Gossip Girl-esque line won’t be hitting Target’s site nor stores until September 13, New Yorkers have the opportunity to snatch up the pieces earlier.

One of the many events occurring under Fashion’s Night Out, Anna Sui and Target are opening a temporary shop on September 10 exclusively for the diffusion line.

Mark your calendars—the store will close on September 12!

Coco Rocha for Liz Claiborne

A red-haired Coco Rocha (somewhat bearing a resemblance to Rose McGowan) appears in Liz Claiborne’s fall campaign, gracing a very crowded neighborhood and grocery store. While Coco can do no wrong, I find this pairing a little strange…

Rodarte's Fall 2008The fashion phenomenon known as Rodarte will soon be adding its name to the long list of houses that have created a diffusion line for Target.

Headed by the fabulous Mulleavy sisters, the couture-meets-edgy designs usually range in the thousands (per piece)—quite a far cry from the expected $9.99-$79.99 going for the Target line.

Target spokesman Joshua Thomas has assured potential buyers that they are not to be disappointed:

“What you’ll notice is an amazing eye for detail. It’s very feminine, yet very modern. The collection incorporates a rich mix of patterns and fabrications and everything from sequins and bows to faux fur. The key with Rodarte is layering… There are stand-alone pieces and pieces that can be worn together to create an ensemble by layering different patterns, textures and prints.”

A favorite of celebrities Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman, the diffusion line is due to hit stores December 20th and be available until February 6th, with a total of 55 pieces.

Jennifer Connelly for Balenciaga Fall/Winter '09

It appears as if Jennifer Connelly has returned to her modeling roots, having been deemed worthy of the coveted Balenciaga ads; however, no one’s too impressed by her awkward pose for this fall’s collection.

While it very much could have been photographer Steven Meisel’s fault, don’t forget that Connelly had a very awkward gaze in the house’s Spring/Summer ‘08 campaign…


Avril LavigneWhile I doubt most people have been keeping up with or really given a second thought about her clothing choices, the Canadian pop star is forging ahead with her “fashion” career.

One year after launching Abbey Dawn, an apparel line for juniors, in Kohl’s department stores, the “Girlfriend” singer is close to introducing a collection for an even younger set. The selections, which will be available in about two weeks, will include layered tees, leggings and kid-friendly skulls.

Fashion design isn’t the only thing Lavigne is experimenting with these days. Black Star, a new fragrance she helped create, is due out sometime this summer.

Chanel Fall 2009

It seems as if Chanel is suffering the same fate Louis Vuitton is experiencing with their Madonna ads. Two images (check out the second after the jump) of the famed fashion house’s Fall 2009 campaign were recently leaked on the web.

Heidi Mount and Freja Beha Erichsen star in the campaign, which was conveniently shot by Karl Lagerfeld at his Vermont estate (this is not the first time he has used this location).

A sexy, more fashionable version of Little House on the Prairie comes to mind. What do you think?

Topshop expecting a line from Ginger Spice

As designers, models, and actresses of all shapes and sizes keep creating lines for H&M, Target, and Topshop, Geri Halliwell is now rumored to add herself to the long list of “designers.”

The former Spice Girl (who obviously was the first to deny pants among the current Lady Gaga-led revolution) recently met with Sir Philip Green, who owns the Topshop line. In all honesty, when any celebrity pops in for a cup of tea with the British billionaire, there’s a very good chance that there’s a Topshop line to follow.

The source claims that Geri is due to design a fashion range targeted towards women a bit older than the usual Topshop fair.

I cannot wait!

Oh yeah, I forgot that there’s only one Topshop in the States still. Argh!

.Anna Sui for Target

As if the fall release date wasn’t torturous enough, fans of Anna Sui and Gossip Girl now have the look book to fawn over until then.

The nineteen looks (which you can see after the jump) are based upon the individual styles of Blair, Jenny, Vanessa, and Serena. Of all sets, I think that Blair’s classy, high-collared looks are the cutest; Serena’s monochrome would have won if it weren’t for the vest and leggings with bows. Jenny’s black, red, and white palette strike me as punk-inspired and have potential; however, I tend to fear the prints and patterns used. Vanessa’s set is very bohemian, although I’m not sure as to why they chose such an ugly palette of orange and brown.

You can expect to see Anna Sui’s line hit Target stores and online starting September 13.

Christopher Kane for TopshopScottish designer Christopher Kane actually wants to give you the time of day! In an effort to gauge interest in the unveiling of his Topshop line due this Fall, Kane will be answering questions on their blog.

While this isn’t the first time that he has collaborated with Topshop, this will be his largest at 39 pieces (shoes and bags, too!).

“This is more than a capsule collection. It’s proper: with bags, shoes, knitwear and dresses. It’s nothing like any other work I’ve done in the past. Everything is a bit ‘wow.’ But If I tell you any more, I’ll be giving the theme away,” the designer explained to Grazia‘s Melanie Rickey.

If you’ve got anything about him that’s picking your brain, now’s the time to ask! Post up your questions on Topshop’s blog before this Wednesday, June 17th. Hurry and don’t waste space with incompetent questions!
