Jimmy Choo | H&M: Out With The Old, In With The Choo:





One would be remiss not to mention Jimmy Choo as an innovator of women's fashion, especially when referring to shoes and accessories. One would also be remiss to miss Jimmy Choo for H&M, and that applies to women and men. Jimmy Choo will feature pieces for women and men a F/W collection exclusive to H&M November 14th.

Much anticipation brewed when , Parisian designer, Matthew Williamson was to said to be in collaboration with H&M especially when he announced his first ever menswear collection. Jimmy Choo had a tough act to follow and the rumor mill buzzed with anxiety but the recent Jimmy Choo for H&M campaigns have proved that classic edgy polished and innovative style of the Jimmy Choo brand will be immensely present in the H&M collection. So it's out with the old and in with the Choo.

Tyra Banks x Michelle Obama: Meet the First Lady of Fashion

Let's talk Tyra. Although the legendary fashion icon has retired as a model, she still has that magic ability of being one of fiercest in the game. In a recent Haper's Bazaar fashion campaign, Tyra posed as Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama is known for being very fashion forward which makes this even more ironically interesting. The male model, Roman, plays Barack Obama. See what Tyra had to say behind the scene on set...

Dolce and Gabbana Spring/Summer 2009





These photos are from backstage of the spring/summer collection of Dolce and Gabbana while it was being revealed. It features many silk prints, croc. The collection as a whole embodies the elegance of 1940s/1950s. Very tailored, sauve, asian inspired, boxer-chic (literally). Much of the outfits are like what boxers would wear, but very fashionable. Lots of warm neutral colors like beige, sage, periwinkle...many of the colors that see in spring and summer, but not bold and bright. Perfect for summer.

Hip-hop is Vogue??



If you ask any true hip-hop head about the relationship between the genre and fashion, you'll find that they go hand-and-hand. Slick Rick and Ghostface a.k.a. Pretty Tony had pounds of dookey rope necklaces, Run DMC with the Adidas and track suits, the list can go "on and on"...in the present day hip-hop era, fashion and trends seem to be more or less evolving to a new standard or plateau. Know we have K. West who is always decked out in Prada, Ralph Lauren, and his infamous favorite Louis Vuitton. So infamous that he's known as the Louis Vuitton Don. Jay-Z is notorius for his fetish for Asian labels such as True Religion and Evisu. High fashion is at the epicenter of most major hip-hop. When??? WHY??? In an interview with Pharrell of N.E.R.D. by men.style.com he claims he wears what he once coudn't afford and always dreamed of having. "Hermes made a tote, kind of a weekend bag especially for me. Purple croc with gold accessories" Skateboard P explained. (as pictured). He also explained he would be getting other custom made goodies from Hermes. On a sidebar, he still is under contract with Louis Vuitton as a model. Will hip-hop and high fashion remain synonymous? It will be interesting what's in store for the future.
