Marc Jacobs in Sprouse’s graffiti for Harper’s Bazaar’s January 2009 issue.
The 80s are not going anywhere - yet. Get ready for graffiti prints, and bright day-glo colours. Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs pay homage to the late designer and artist, Stephen Sprouse for a new, limited edition collection of accessories and ready-to-wear. These tribute pieces will hit the stores on 9 Jan next year.
The rumours are TRUE! Fashionologie reports that “Katie Holmes shot the Spring 2009 ad campaign for Miu Miu today with eight unnamed models — which explains the smoky makeup and slicked-back hair the paparazzi caught her in this evening. No word on who the campaign photographer is, but based on history, I would guess Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott”
I can’t help but notice Suri Cruise’s cute red ballet shoes! Do they come in adult sizes?
Anyway, I’m unbelievably busy for at least till December - presentation, exam, work events, parties, blah blah blah blah. I just wanna bolt out of this country and be a bum. Like seriously. Will blog when I can. In the meantime, I can’t believe it’s December already!! Yikes.
We all know Rachel Bilson is one unique fashion individual. Let’s just say, her first collection, Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans does not disappoint. I love the color palette of white, black and traffic yellow - very indie, and very chic. Rachel says, “The pieces are really wearable which I think is important because you can mix and match from the line.” Her ideas are simple which is great because she doesn’t try too hard to be avant-garde or something. Better still, it doesn’t look like garbage from Heidiwood or Lauren Conrad. I’m sorry girls, I’m not a fan of The Hills.
It’s raining outside right now, and this poncho looks seriously apt.
I would wear these in a heartbeat. Make me look like an egg, I don’t care.
Nice. I love these jackets especially the tuxedo one with white piping.
Not too Avril Lavigne. I think these are really cool especially the white one.
Rachel Bilson in her collection during the promo event in Florida. Nice.
How do you make a splash with your fashion line? Do it the Justin Timberlake style. Make three short films and call them, “My Name is William Rast” - create a cool storyline, dress up the character and put a face to your brand. Most importantly, William Rast digs “Birdie”, featuring the leggy Erin Wasson who broke her foot while shooting this line of shorts. Catch the trailer (above) or you can watch the rest of the shorts here. In the meantime, I’m kinda digging the clothes:
x-wen : Nicole: Hey, my friend organised the Puma event - she told me that you're going. I think Laila and Carlos are coming too.
x-wen : Rose: I didn't manage to catch Malaysia FAshion week in KL. it was too far from where I'm staying! Haha, and I got lazy. KL is alot of fun, you gotta check out Pavilion KL.

cherrymagazine : Hi xwen! yay, i finally know how to register haha, I emailed u did u get my email?
x-wen : Haha, I wish I have more time to hunt for Yvan! Did you see his "one" spotted fashionable individual? People, start strolling in your best clothes!
Rose : Woh...what's up with... OMG YVAN!
x-wen : bingboompia: Face Hunter is coming! This calls for another 'potential' night out? Hehe. Katie for Miu Miu is so strange considering she's not as edgy as Kirsten Dunst or Vanessa Paradis.
Bingboompia : "needs a life" ** correction.
Bingboompia : HAHA! Idr needs a live. Now GO! Heck care him/her x-wen. Anyway, about the katie X miumiu, I couldn't believe it when I first saw the rumor! Katie just don't match Miu miu me thinks.
x-wen : ldr: This is a shoutbox, not a chatbox. We don't linger around online for like... forever. I'm sorry you couldn't find anyone to talk to and who is Anne? Anna? Be specific. Blabbering doesn't solve anything.
ldr : Who cares. I go now. forever
ldr : I just want to talk to someone
ldr : I just want to die. Why would anyone zap me from a comment page for this?
ldr : I guess that none of you want to accept any 'outsiders' I just don't get it. Is it because I nixed Anne? or because I said the c word.? I just want to talk to somebody
ldr : If it is because I used a swear word, I will not do again. I just want my voice to be heard, I will not use the c word again. Why was I taken off?
ldr : hello?? I am not a person who is wanting to create mayhem. Hello?
ldr : Is this comment page only for Zhang and xwen? I am not sure if I am being heard, or even welcome
ldr : how do I talk to anyone?
ldr : Who the hell does Anne think she is?? I wish she'd get off her high horse. I almost puked when I just saw her response to someone who brought her the cashmiere throw, and she asked with such gravity, "what is the thread count' Then I realized that this show, this person is one who should be given the ax. Maybe she is good at what she does in her job, but as a human, she is of the lowest of lowest. and I feel that I am of one of the lowest to have even
x-wen : Rose: hey life is a challenge and we gotta make lotsa fabulous lemonade! i'm so cheesy.
x-wen : bingboompia: I like the bimbo factor in Rachel! At least she's a genuine bimbo haha. Lego catwalk rawks la.
Rose : x-wen! saw ur comment, it's so sweet. Thanks =) and don't worry me is better now. lol
Bingboompia : Anyway! The Castelbajac X Lego show's AMAZING and hilarious! THERE'S EVEN ANNA WINTOUR! haha!
Bingboompia : I watched the first 2 episodes! I really love the mention of designers, and the "behind the scenes" styling of celebrities. But the way Rachel zoe speak was kinda bimbo-tic to me, so I stopped. HAHA! I know, "Bananas~".
x-wen : jo: oh yeah, totally gay for silver! hahahaha. Do any of you watch The Rachel Zoe Project? I really like it haha. Too much TV!!
x-wen : bingboompia: yes! I need to find that Valentino film.
jo_wottoncool : I <3 SILVER. she is coolios and sooo pretty.
Bingboompia : God, I've no idea! They should publicize more! The Valentino bio movie recently didn get much recognition either!
x-wen : Apparently, there are four Coco Chanel films being made now. Spoilt for choice! I can't wait for Audrey Tautou's version.
Bingboompia : OMG! I cant wait for the coco chanel bio movie!! late 2009?! guess good things will worth the wait. And karl lagerfeld for styling?! AWESOME!
