Marc Jacobs to Sell Fragrance for Tweets
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, News, Sales,
Who needs cash when you have a Twitter account?
So says execs for the upcoming Marc Jacobs pop-up shop for New York Fashion Week, anyway. Appropriately titled the Daisy Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop, the company will offer visitors goods in exchange for Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook posts with the hashtag "#MJDaisyChain." So while it may be considered free by American monetary standards, the Marc Jacobs products will be paid for with social networking fare.
The shop - which will be open from February 7 to February 9 - comes complete with a lounge, a Daisy photo booth (for your Instagram, of course!), drinks, and Wi-Fi (naturally).
Additionally, "he most creative social media posts" will win Marc Jacobs accessories throughout the day. Sounds like a good deal for any fashionista!

Items Du Jour: Anja Rubik Gets Engaged, Lady Gaga Makes Unicorns Sexy
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, News,
-- Victoria Beckham covers February's issue of Vogue UK looking rather bare-faced and less glamorous than usual. Marking her sixth solo Vogue cover, the singer-turned-fashion designer talks about her style's evolution and -- more importantly -- what it's like to wake up next to David Beckham.
-- Hilary Swank is one Oscar-winning actress who actually is down-to-earth: the woman loves a good bargain, and isn't ashamed of -- gasp -- clipping coupons. If only she had shopping secrets to scoring designer labels...
-- Anja Rubik stars in her third consecutive Fendi campaign, shot (of course) by Karl Lagerfeld.
-- Speaking of Anja, the model's agency recently announced her Christmas engagement to fellow model Sasha Knezevic. As if there aren't enough super hot couples to be jealous of.
-- Lady Gaga treated her monsters to a nice holiday surprise with details of her upcoming album. More importantly, she posted a preview of the album art, which features her rocking a unicorn-blazoned jean jacket that reads, "Born This Way." Oh, and she has completely ditched pants -- literally.

Jennifer Aniston’s Perfume (Sales) Fading
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities,
Women may want to look like Jennifer Aniston, but they might not want to smell like her.
Sales of the actress' first perfume -- Jennifer Aniston (formerly named Lolavie) -- have reportedly dropped off since debuting earlier this year. Some claim Aniston's lack of promotion is to blame.
"It's absolutely not true," Jennifer's rep said in response to the finger-pointing. "The fragrance was launched specifically for Harrods [in London] and Jennifer went there personally to launch it and to do press."

Items Du Jour: Miley Makes a Match, Janet Gets Short, and Angels Get Ads

- While her Wal-Mart lines aren’t faring well in sales, Miley Cyrus isn’t looking too worried these days, as she flashes her leopard print bra for the public while picking up some grub. While the matching prints are a bit tacky, it’s nice to see that she’s actually wearing a bra.
- Janet Jackson was spotted in London yesterday, having chopped off her locks. While I was never a fan of the Amber Rose trend, I can’t say that I’m hating Jackson’s look!
- I love Michelle Williams and I love Chanel, but when the pair were together for the after party of her film Blue Valentine‘s premiere, I fell out of love for what looked like Grandma’s satin bed sheet vengeance. Her new short hair style is killer, but not with the plain fabric wrap.

- Kate Moss have some fairly interesting ideas, but I do have to give it to her for innovation. The Topshop designer attended the unveiling of her latest collection in one of her own pieces, but she wore it backwards! She has this uncanny ability to wear anything so well that I doubt that anyone would’ve known had it not been in her line.

Nick Knight Adores Kate Moss
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Sales,
Kate Moss is a fantastic model because she makes you want to buy the clothes she wears.
Renowned photographer Nick Knight - who has shot the supermodel on many occasions - has praised Moss for her ability to make any shoot work.
“I’ve known Kate for many years and she’s a fantastic model. She can put a little black T-shirt on and make it look like the exact T-shirt you want to buy this season. And that’s a real skill - she understands the narrative in clothing, and expresses that perfectly. That’s her great skill.”
No matter how many times Knight - whose exhibition Showstudio: Fashion Revolution is running at London’s Somerset House - has worked with Moss, he insists he never grows tired of photographing her because she’s always got something new to offer. “No, it’s never hard to come up with anything new for Kate. It’s a conversation that keeps on going. She’s always got something fascinating to say and I’m always very excited to meet her and to see her again. I never tire of photographing her.”
Knight has worked with most of the biggest names in fashion, including Alexander McQueen, Yohji Yamamoto, Calvin Klein and Christian Dior.
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.”
- Shoe designer Christian Louboutin on the range of customers his products attract.

Twilight Boosts Pale Make-Up Sales
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, News, Sales,
Twi-hards are having an effect on the beauty industry now, having set a new trend for pale make-up.
Sales of pale foundation have reportedly shot through the roof since the release of the latest film The Twilight Saga: New Moon and some cosmetic companies claim they’ve seen a 200 per cent rise in customers buying pale make-up. According to the online beauty shop FeelUnique.com, their current best-selling product is a pale pink illuminating powder by Bare Escentuals called Mineral Veil. L’Oreal have also seen their True Match powder in Rose Ivory increase in sales by 133 per cent.
Pale skin - which is now deemed a must-have look - has been seen on the face of celebrities in recent months. Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts recently launched a make-up range for paler skin. She said she’d created her range because she knew how difficult it could be to find the right sort of look with the products already out there.
“For years I felt like the ugly one in Girls Aloud. I was tall, skinny, with red hair and the whitest skin you’ve ever seen - standing next to four of the most gorgeous girls in Britain. Hopefully I can help a lot of girls out there to look their best.”
