Madonna May Design Line for Macy’s
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Women, Accessories, Footwear
Could we soon see Madonna in a commercial with Martha Stewart and Jessica Simpson?
According to Women’s Wear Daily, the singer may become the latest celebrity connected to a product line sold at Macy’s. The 51-year-old is reportedly nearing a deal that would have her name linked to contemporary women’s collection.
Potential items sold would include accessories, clothing, intimates and shoes. Brand names in contention for the new lines include “Material Girl” (that seems too easy a choice to me) and “Truth or Dare” (for the lingerie department).
Three years ago, Madonna also launched “M by Madonna,” which sold in H&M stores.

First Look: Louise Goldin For Topshop
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales, Women, Footwear
Judging by photos of her first shoe collection for Topshop, Louise Goldin is still very much inspired by the science-fiction fare.
Set to hit Topshop boutiques this February and March, Goldin’s killer footwear resemble those that appeared at Rodarte’s Spring/Summer 2009.
The thought of pairing these statement-making heels with Spring/Summer 2010 looks makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Imagine them with those gorgeous Lanvin dresses or swapping Alexander Wang’s animal print shoes for these! Will you be sporting these alluring-yet-deadly shoes?

Quote of the Day: Christian Louboutin on His Slutty Customers
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales, Women, Footwear
“There’s the sexy side, and then there is the Parisian side, which is complementary but also the opposite. If you are very chic you might not need an extra drop of chicness, so you go for the sexy side and buy my shoes because they are… tarty. We get very smart women coming in and buying a pair to feel a little more sluttish. And then, thank God, we also get the hookers coming in the store, who buy my shoes because they are superchic. You see, whatever you have, if you add a drop of the opposite, then it just becomes a little more sexy.”

Transformers Inspires Louise Goldin
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales, Women, Dresses, Footwear
Fashion designer Louise Goldin has once again collaborated with Topshop for their current Fall/Winter ‘09 collection, and she’s going sci-fi with the knitwear!
“The collection was inspired by Transformers and robots. I have a collection of Transformer memorabilia, both old and new; I find it very inspirational. I wanted to create a range of cool jumpers; I emblazoned some jumpers with robot artworks, and I looked at the various style lines and colors from the body armor of Transformer action figures to create dresses, leggings and tops. A particular favorite - the robot jumper with the leggings, and of course the shoes which will be coming soon!”

Fashion Police: X Factor Contestant Steps Out in New Uggs
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News, Women, Footwear, Boots
The impossible has been done: UGG boots got uglier. I didn’t think it feasible until I found this picture of X Factor contestant Stacey Solomon, who stepped out in this season’s new UGG boots.
Not only are the boots monochrome striped (Beetlejuice, anyone?), but they are knitted! I refuse to accept the “They’re comfortable” excuse—there’s absolutely no reason to be caught wearing these in public, especially if they look like winter socks.
(Be sure to check out other questionable fashion finds.)

Christian Louboutin Turned Diffusion Line Down
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women, Footwear
Even though it seems as if everyone is doing a diffusion line for either H&M, Target, or other major retail chain, there’s one designer who is counting himself out: Christian Louboutin.
While he’s happy to shell out his time and effort for Barbie, it seems as if the shoe designer has no other collaborations in mind: “They [H&M] proposed me to do the diffusion line and I declined… Not that I don’t think it’s an interesting idea, but it’s a lot of work really, so it’s just difficult for me to do it.”
When asked about whether he would consider such a project in the future, my dreams of purchasing an affordable pair of his godlike creations were crushed. A girl can dream, eh?

Manolo Blahnik Hates When Pointless Girls Wear His Shoes
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women, Footwear
First were his comments about Sex and the City. Now famed shoe designer Manolo Blahnik is saying that he hates celebrities—well, at least just the pointless ones.
“I hate celebrities. All those pointless girls—I won’t name names, but you know who I mean. They are ‘famous.’ Ridiculous. I like women with style: actresses like Uma Thurman, icons like Audrey Hepburn. I like women with style to wear my shoes.”
Ouch. Too bad he didn’t name names! Then again, he does still want to be in business.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Models, News, Sales, Men, Women, Accessories, Footwear
You saw the images of Jimmy Choo’s H&M line. Now you can get a better experience and effect from the collection when you watch the ad campaign, which features Sasha Pivovarova and Edita Vilkeviciute.
Hopefully you’re doing a better job than I am at saving up for the line, which hits stores November 14th in 200 stores across the country. One must also note that, unlike the other lines released on Thursdays, this one comes out on a Saturday (and it’s Jimmy Choo!)... Just sayin’.

Christian Louboutin Goes to the Dolls
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales, Women, Accessories, Footwear
For the most iconic and stylish doll around, it was no wonder that Barbie decided to finally team up with famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin. From the looks of the newly-reinvented doll and her photo book diary, Louboutin didn’t let our girl down.
“Barbie has a long history of working with various designers and artists who use Barbie as a muse… It was a natural for Barbie, not only with her fashion heritage, but also because of her passion for shoes. She has a billion shoes and we needed to do something special for her shoe collection,” said Stephanie Cota, senior vice president of marketing of Barbie brands at Mattel.
