Alexander Wang x Samsung

Designers typically collaborate with either each other, or other beauty and retail companies. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this Alexander Wang collaboration could be the first of its kind.

Alexander Wang is turning to Samsung for his latest collaboration to create a limited-edition bag, which will be available for purchase in select Alexander Wang boutiques and Wang’s website this summer.

The bag’s design is inspired by sketches and photos created by a group of various photographers, stylists and friends, whose images will serve as the basis for the bag’s print. Samsung’s role in the collaboration? All of the images will be created using the newest tech craze, a Samsung Galaxy Note II.

Proceeds of this sale will be donated to ArtStart, a New York City charity that aims to nurture the creative talents of at-risk children and youths.

I’m all for these kinds of collaborations from here on out.

The Best Dressed Ladies At The 2013 Billboard Music Awards

Music award shows typically do not have the most well dressed attendees. I guess it has something to do with the quirkiness and creativity of musicians and musicians’ red-carpet looks (in Billboard’s case, a blue carpet) are always eclectic, to say the least. Throw in the fact that the Billboard Music Awards are not the [...]

Peter Som x Anthropologie

It’s been a whopping three days since the news of a high/low designer collaboration has been broken, so of course, we’re way behind on hearing of a new one. Although the news of Anthropologie’s Made in Kind initiative is not new, their latest installment certainly is. Anthropologie’s latest, and perhaps biggest, collaboration has just been [...]

A Model Covering US Vogue Is A Rare Occurrence Today

Years ago, models were everything. They fronted every major campaign, walked down every runway, and were considered to be celebrities as much as Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster’s leading lady. Today, when people think of a model, they think of Karlie Kloss. Ultra thin, ultra tall and primarily working the runways and editorial spreads in Vogue magazine. [...]

Questionable Product Names: The ‘Fatkini’

By no means am I always politically correct. Sometimes I say things that others would think are insensitive, but don’t get me wrong — certain questionable statements definitely get me to raise my eyebrows. Something that always makes me cringe is the use of the word “fat.” Being someone who has struggled with weight and [...]

J.Crew x CFDA

Designer to designer collaborations are one thing. You have two separate visions coming together to create a joint design. When a retailer collaborates with the CFDA, though, it’s a whole other ball game. The CFDA essentially represents almost every major designer in American fashion. How does one collaborate with a multitude of design visions? J.Crew [...]
