Can we say, "D-I-E?"  JPG is officially teaming up with Target stores for a March 2010 collection launch. 


The same way Alexander McQueen and Anna Sui had thier muses, Gaultier will have his own lady of inspiration.  Can you guess "Who's that girl?"  Yes, (obviously) it's the queen of reinvention-Madonna.  Gaultier was very influential to her style during the early 1990's.  


Well, we have about five months before the line makes its debut, but I can guarantee the blogs will be buzzin' with sneak peak pics.

The Jimmy Choo line is collaborating with Elton John's AIDS foundation.  The limited edtion punk rock line consists of bags, shoes, cuffs and scarves.  Prices range from $85-$995.  
25% of the net sales will benefit the Simelela center for victims of violence in Khayelitsha, South Africa according to T-Magazine.

Here's an (alleged) pic of the Christian Louboutin designed Barbie doll coming out soon.

In an e-mail from BarbieCollector.com, the new Barbie created by her "godfather" will have a "glam new look" which includes a new face sculpt, skin tone, and foot structure to fit into her four pairs of red bottom heels. Her shoes will also come with shoe boxes and cloth shoe bags.

There will be a series of three dolls and Barbie Collector VIPs get priority on ordering. So if you're interested, then visit the website to sign up.

I may be tempted to add to my collection ( I own the Spring in Tokyo and Kimora Lee Simmons dolls) depending on whether or not they release a doll with my skin tone... if you know what I mean. We shall wait and see.

Khloe, Kourtney, and Kim will be designing a spring line for the somewhat affordable store chain Bebe. Bebe is known for their feminine and sexy styles as well as their very voluptuous mannequins.

On Kim's website she exclaimed, "This is honestly a dream come true! We have always loved fashion and have wanted to design for such a long time and now we finally are!”

I like these girls, and I commend them on their hustle, but I have one question. Why haven't they designed
a line for their clothing store Dash?

Today the new LV line for spring and summer 2010 premiered at Paris Fashion Week. For us unlucky fashion lovers unable to be in the same room of the creations made by the fabulous Marc Jacobs, fans of the facebook page were able to watch the show live.

Colors that stood out were bronze, lime green, sky blue, taupe and hot pink. The bag line seemed to appeal to the casual girl always on the go who appears as though she doesn't care about her image--but secretly she does.

The show is still on demand but only for a few more hours, so catch it while you can.

PS
Here's a clip of how the event went down last year.

Visit the Marc Jacobs website to view the new Resort Collection, Specialty Items, the World of Marc, and his new fragrance Lola.

My fav is the "Poison" Tee!! It "comes with a stern warning to fellas who are ill prepared to match wits with an alluring female form and a disarming smile."

Another cute top is the "Grind” tee "which exudes the character of someone who doesn’t accept “NO” as an obstacle in their path."

Dangerously Beautiful returns with their new tee line which is "molded by the bustling grind of Miami nights." In their own words:
This collection, entitled “Up All Night,” focuses on the hard work and determined mindset of our female hustlers. Iconic graphic tees dripping with hip hop and indie aesthetic are presented with an assortment of crisp colors sure to expand the palette of any lady’s summer finds.

Cop these and more at the official Dangerously Beautiful site.

Williamson will be releasing a second line for H&M in 1600 locations (his first collaboration was only in 200 stores).  The line will also be listed as a "non-limited edition" meaning you won't have to wait in line and rush into the store like a bat out of hell... or maybe you will.  And men, don't fret-he's also adding a menswear line.
