Watch Jimmy Fallon Kiss Anna Wintour’s Ass On His Show Last Night

Victoria Potter — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:39:15 +0000

It’s pretty funny how light he steps around her. I guess one has to be nice to Anna W. if you want to keep getting invites to fancy Met Ball galas!

Lanvin + H&M.. It’s SO TRUE

Victoria Potter — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:20:06 +0000

Get ready to mess your drawers, ladies and gents – Lanvin has been confirmed to be designing a capsule collection for H&M. Yeah.

Alber Elbaz’s collection for the Swedish mega-giant chain will be ready for our clawing fingers on November 20 (for North Americans), which is so close! Everyone else in the world will have to wait till November 23 for the collection to be released, but hey, being in North America I shan’t complain.

The looks will be shown in a film preview on November 2m which will give us 18 whole days of drooling and dying over it all. One thing is for sure; the line ups for this release are going to be massive.

Lady Gaga Is The Statue Of Liberty w/ Marc Jacobs On V Magazine’s New York Issue Cover

Victoria Potter — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:34:15 +0000

Lady Gaga is without [as much] makeup, Marc Jacobs is looking his usual delicious and the “V” is made of gum wads. What does this create? V Magazine’s New York Issue, which actually looks like it would be an excellent read.

For anyone who has seen horrifying Kids, V features an interview with director Larry Clark due to it’s 15th anniversary. Also worth a look is Tommy Hilfiger’s going from rebel to cradle rocker (I guess he pulled the original Angelina), and The Gaga’s stylist Nicola Formichetti going over her looks from the last year.

So BB Dakota Piggybacked On Twilight Mania.. Summit Entertainment Should Get A Life, Stop Suing

Victoria Potter — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:14:32 +0000

Their jacket was made famous by girls primed for emotional and physical abuse by more attractive guys, but Summit (who owns Twilight’s brand pimping rights) isn’t having any of it. Since BB Dakota re-named the famed jacket Bella from the old not-as-dollar-signy name.

Summit needs to get over things.. it was used in the movie, it got well known and now they’re capitalizing off the popularity – this is the natural progression of ‘as seen in’ items. It’s not like the jacket was knocked of by BB Dakota, branded as a Twilight product, then hocked at sale.

Summit needs to relax. Their Twilight franchise is ultimate shit and they should be thankful there are disillusioned females in this world willing to pay for their brand of pseudo horror vagina fantasy.

Oh, Look.. Alyssa Is Riding Her Horse In American Apparel

Victoria Potter — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:11:03 +0000

Every so often American Apparel releases a really strange photo set, and this is the latest: Alyssa, some AA employee, is riding her horse at night, and gradually loses her clothes.

That’s right. She straddles a horse topless at night in some low-fi photos.

All class, AA!

Senso WILMA Bootie Coming Soon In Neon Pink + White/Brown Cheetah

Victoria Potter — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:34:04 +0000

Senso is one of Australia’s hippest shoe labels, especially now that their Wilma shootie (aghh – worst term) have been re-launched with electric pink and brown/creme animal prints.

The new Wilmas will still be priced at $160 per pair, and are currently on pre-order, with delivery at September 30th. I can feel it in my bones the pink Wilma is going to be a hot blog topic in coming months.. get a jump on her bones before everyone else does!

In Lurve With La Cav Du Bon’s Leather Bag – CHECK THESE!

Victoria Potter — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 03:36:19 +0000

If you’ve been musing Australians have been blowing up on the design scene as of late, you would be hailed as correct yet again. La Cav Du Bon may be a mouthful and not too familiar for many, but these are world class beauties in bag form that are going to be commanding the attention of many very soon.

This collected, dubbed Late Nights With Charlie Wrights, and it is a rough yet tempered collection of beautiful bags. They make me feel like they have a bit of Km Rii’s manic design effects dashed in the mix, with a bit of Be & D’s refined luxury and roughness from the fur usage.

These are incredibly special statement pieces that will last you years. Trust me, you’re going to be seeing these babies on Gossip Girl.

Forever 21 Knocked Off Jeffrey Campbell’s 99

Victoria Potter — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 01:50:04 +0000

If you’ve ever wanted a fake leather and likely uncomfortable version of the Jeffrey Campbell 99, Forever 21 has your back! F21′s zip up wedges may only be $23.80, but I can’t imagine there would be any sort of padding in the sole.. you may as well strap planks of wood to your feet.
