Behold! Missoni’s Target Line Is Here!

Well, almost: Designer Missoni’s diffusion line for Target is just around the bend, and the first shots of the collection have begun eeking out. Here we have pieces from both the apparel and travel collections on display in Missoni’s signature colorful patterns. The collection will include around 400 items, including men’s and women’s clothing, accessories, luggage and housewares–with most items allegedly costing less than $40. Missoni’s line will only be available from September 13 to October 22, so start saving now! Keep reading »

Yes, Versace Is Doing A Line For H&M

Donatella Versace–the most tanned woman in fashion and pretty much anything else–has announced she’s doing a collaborative diffusion line with H&M, despite announcing in 2008 that she’d nevah, evah work with the Swedish company. “I respect everyone who does it,” she said way back then. “But the reason I didn’t do it is because I work very hard to put the Versace line in the luxury section. I think to put the Versace line in H&M would confuse the brand.” But my, how things have changed. There’ll be around 40 pieces for women and 20 for men. And judging from the look on the left, we’ll be buying — will you? Watch Donatella talk about the new line after the jump! [Global Grind]

The Nicholas Kirkwood x Keith Haring Collaboration is Out!

Nicholas Kirkwood is a bonafide shoe genius. And Keith Haring revolutionized the art world in the ’80s and ’90s by helping to show that activism and art could meld into bright, beautiful creations. So when it was revealed that Kirkwood would be creating a collection of shoes in honor of Haring, well, we couldn’t wait to see them. Sadly, his knee-high rollerskate boots aren’t for sale — they’re only on display at the Arnhem Mode Biennale, but we could imagine trying to DIY our own pair of high-heeled wedges with some day-glo paint some time soon.

You’ve Probably Never Heard Of H&M’s Next Big Collaborator

Swedish fashion giant H&M has done some pretty high profile collaborations in the past–Lanvin, Victor & Rolf and Stella McCartney, to name just a few. But you probably haven’t heard of their newest collaborator. Fashion blogger Elin Kling is “big in Sweden” but really hasn’t made a name for herself here. Still, she’s been plucked from the land of attractive blondes and high literacy rates to design the brand’s latest collaboration. Kling’s blog, Style By Kling, features tons of photos of Kling looking svelte and stylish. Most of the blog is in Swedish, so we can’t really tell you what, if anything, it’s about. Kling is known as one of Sweden’s leading fashion ladies. Sadly, we Americanos won’t be able to get our grubby mitts on her collection: It’s only available in Sweden. But perhaps some pieces will pop up on eBay? [Fashionista] Keep reading »

From What We Can Tell, Kim Gordon’s Sportmax Collab Is Disappointing (Sniff)

We just don’t get it. Kim Gordon plus anything fashion should equal awesomeness. In the past, the Sonic Youth punk songstress has dabbled in the industry, producing outstanding results with cult ’90s brand X-Girl (gone for years now, sadly) and more recently, a sleek, military-inspired line called Mirror/Dash, which faded into oblivion. Gordon is now set to unveil her three-piece collection for Italian luxury label Sportmax on Fashion’s Night Out; however, the Wall Street Journal got a sneak peek at two of the items—a watercolor-like tunic dress and a graffiti t-shirt. The tee goes for a ridiculous $135 while the other items price out at $225 and $275. Keep reading »

Must Buy: Official Betty White Apparel

We’ve always had a thing for “Golden Girl” Betty White and her geriatric cheekiness. But, until now, we never had an appropriate way to express our love. Yeah, we could buy Betty’s sexy calendar, but that would just be tacked on our walls, and sorry, that just isn’t a public enough homage to Ms. White. Lucky for us, Betty herself has teamed up with Jerry Leigh to release a limited-edition line of tees and hoodies plastered with her glorious face. Part of the proceeds will go to one of White’s causes, the Morris Animal Foundation, because, let’s face it, the woman is a saint. [PR Newswire] Keep reading »

Does Nina Garcia’s New Target Affiliation Make You Respect Her More Or Less?

Nina Garcia of Project Runway, Elle, and Marie Claire fame has signed on to be Target’s “fashion expert.” The role will mean more videos for Target’s website and StyleBoutique blog, repping new developments for Target brands like Mossimo, and offering tips and tricks for making the most of the store’s budget clothes. This is a definite service for Target consumers, and if Garcia is attempting to be the Anti-Wintour, she’s certainly on her way — can you imagine Anna even touching a Target tee?!

Vena Cava Designs For Bloomingdale’s Aqua Brand

Vena Cava is bringing their artsy cool aesthetic to Bloomingdale’s Aqua brand this fall. Given Aqua’s affordable price point, the Vena Cava collaboration is expected to be even less expensive than the brand’s already-existent diffusion line, Viva Vena. We hope — and expect — that it will be just as cute, though! [The Cut] Keep reading »

Get Your Own Blogger Bling

In case you needed more evidence that fashion bloggers are kind of cool these days, four of them have teamed up with Meadowlark Jewelry to co-design some rather cool silver rings. The uber-stylish blog vixens of Garbage Dress, DI$COUNT, Gnarlitude, and Kingdom of Style each came up with their own ring, all of which will be produced in a limited edition 50 piece run. Our favorite is DI$COUNT’s complicated creation at left, but we wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers. If you’ve got $225-$390 to blow, pick one up. If not, they’re still worth a look and maybe a little obsessing. [Garbage Dress] Keep reading »

Cop Her Style: Morticia Adams’ Nails

Macabre though it may sound to call Morticia Adams a major fashion inspiration, that bitch was fierce. And her return to pop culture in “The Adams Family” musical has brought with it a whole new way to emulate Mama Adams. Essie has teamed up with the production to release three Morticia-inspired nail polish colors for $30. So next time you’re deciding between Ballet Slippers and Wedding Bells for your fingers, take a trip to the dark side with Bone Chilling White, Blood Curdling Red or Midnight Tango, instead. It’s what Morticia would want. [Beauty Blogging Junkie] Keep reading »
