MOTORCYCLE MAMA

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:47:56 +0000

Dont mess with Jessica Alba! Shopping with her daughter Honor Marie at the local grocery store on Nov 8 in New York, Jess looked like one tough mama in her black zippered motorcycle jacket (try Gold Hawks Ribbed Motorcycle Jacket in Black), grey skinnies (like Denim of Virtues Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Grey) and buckled black flat boots (get a similar look with Matikos folded flap C Boot in Black). Adding a fedora and fingerless gloves to shield her from the icy cold as she pushed her purse laden baby stroller home from the shop, Jess glared down any lingering paparazzi in her path as she made her way home (for similar purse picks that can double as a baby bag, try Linea Pelles Dylan Zip Tote in Citrine). Jess looked like she had a hard day on the set as she perused the nights eats, stopping to coo over her baby girl as she picked out her produce. Jessicas gams are looking pretty good these days, and she recently talked to People about her post-pregnancy lifestyle changes that helped her slim down: "I worked out -- not for hours, but I definitely had to work out. And I ate, not a lot of sweets and not a lot of cream. I kept a pretty simple organic diet, which I do now anyway." Seems simple enough for the rest of us to follow, no? Now that An Invisible Sign of My Own is almost finished filming, Jessica has already confirmed her next project, co-starring Casey Affleck. The two will work together in an on-screen adaptation of the book The Killer Inside Me, which was previously taken to the big screen in 1976. Wonder if Jess stayed true to her refusal to work unless Honor could be with her on-set, considering shes lined up her next project so quickly? My guess is that in these tough economic times, even actors cant be too picky with their work -- what do you think?...

WORKING WOMAN

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:25:45 +0000

She may be a mature 36 years old, but Cameron Diaz has such youthful skin she went make-up free to a studio meeting at Universal on Nov 19 in Los Angeles. Is it just me thinking she looks surprisingly fresh faced here? Clad in a few simple layers, Cam started with a white cami (try Ella Moss comfy Simone Cami in Vanilla) under a white Henley topped with a pale cropped cardigan (add a little color with Ecoganiks Thermal Henley Top in Merlot under a cozy throw-on like Autumn Cashmeres Draped Cardigan in Bisque), wearing the always popular black leggings (try Desert Blues denim styled The Phoenix Skinny Jean in Black) with slouchy grey boots. Walking back to her car carrying her favorite ivory Tods bag while sipping from her super-sized black thermos, Cam wore her hair swept back under a grey stretch headband with an ultra casual ponytail. Minus the boots Id think shed just come from the gym, not from a meeting with the head honchos! The simple bangle bracelet (add any interesting twist to any fit with CC Skyes Deco Soho Bracelet in White) adds a little style, but not enough to pull together this look. Nevertheless, it looks like Cams in good spirits, and I have a feeling it has to do with her continued romance with British model Paul Sculfor. From the outside it looks like theyre completely smitten with each other, unable to keep their hands off each other in public, but it seems Cam might not be quite over her ex Justin Timberlake just yet. Last week while attending CNNs All-Star Tribute event, Cam was mysteriously absent on the red carpet -- reportedly to avoid running into JTs current fling, Jessica Biel! A source at the event leaked that Cam snuck in through the backstage door to avoid any awkward run-ins, and the actresses onstage schedules were timed carefully to prevent a face-to-face encounter. Ladies, cant we all get along?...

Marc Jacobs brings back Stephen Sprouse for Vuitton

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:07:22 +0000

wwd / december 1, 2008

Quote:

NEW YORK  Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton are paying homage to Stephen Sprouse.

To show their admiration for the late designer and artist, next month, Jacobs, Vuittons creative director, is using his hit 2001 collaboration with Sprouse for a new, limited edition collection of accessories and ready-to-wear. Jacobs even doffed his duds again, posing in the nude painted in Sprouses graffiti for Harpers Bazaars January issue.

This comes at a time of renewed buzz about Sprouse, whose graffiti prints and Day-Glo clothes became a defining aesthetic of the early Eighties. It coincides with a retrospective called Rock on Mars at Deitch Projects 18 Wooster Street gallery from Jan. 8 to Feb. 28, and The Stephen Sprouse Book, by Roger Padilha and Mauricio Padilha, due out from Rizzoli New York on Feb. 1.

The impetus for the new line came when Deitch approached Jacobs and Vuitton about doing something related to the retrospective.

I proposed putting together a Vuitton version of the Pop Shop, which was Keith Harings conceptnot reissuing products that we had done with Stephen, but doing things that were similar or new, Jacobs said.

Sprouse died in 2004, and the new tribute pieces, which hit Vuitton boutiques worldwide Jan. 9, pick up almost seamlessly where the 2001 collaboration left off.

Jacobs took two iconic Sprouse motifs the graffiti and the rose and interpreted them in Day-Glo shades of pink, green and orange over the Monogram print. The motifs are featured on Vuittons Keepall, Speedy and Neverfull bag styles, as well as basketball sneaker boots, pumps, sunglasses, headbands and wristbands, and small leather goods like wallets and coin purses. The rtw includes a mackintosh raincoat with a graffiti and monogram lining, graffiti leggings and a long-sleeve neon minidress featuring the rose design.

I tried to take what Stephen had done at Vuitton and then kind of flip it in my head, and make it Vuittons work for Stephen, not Stephens work for Vuitton, Jacobs said. I just felt it was a funny way to play with it, to pretend to be Sprouse for a bit, and use the work that he did, and then bring it back to the work that he did before I collaborated with him.

The original collaboration has its origins in the time when Jacobs was looking for a Paris apartment. When he looked at Charlotte Gainsbourgs space on the rue du Bac, he stumbled across a Vuitton Monogram canvas trunk, which the actresss legendary father, Serge, had painted over in black. It eventually inspired him to collaborate with Sprouse for spring 2001.

For me, this monogram graffiti was the first milestone of our permanent reinvention of our history, said Vuitton president and chief executive officer Yves Carcelle.

The uncompromising, head-to-toe Sprouse aesthetic is timeless, Jacobs noted.

It almost becomes a classic, like a Chanel jacket, or a smoking, he said. Its this idea of a head-to-toe look in this brash, neon, rock n roll, edgy, street-informed style. Sprouse really best personified it.

Vuitton will pay further tribute with a special Web site welovesprouse.com slated to go live Dec. 15. It will feature a mix of interviews with people who knew Sprouse, including Debbie Harry, Candy Pratts Price and Patricia Field. In the clips, they muse on their relationship with Sprouse, and his lasting influence on the fashion and art worlds. There will also be a feature called Scrawl the Wall, where visitors can post comments, and a special section on Sprouses New York, highlighting some of the artists favorite haunts in the city.

The thing that excited us the most is that somebody who disappeared years ago is going to be the center of life worldwide thanks to that for the next few months, Carcelle said. We really want to celebrate a friend.

As for the Harpers Bazaar story, it was shot by Terry Richardson and features Jacobs naked, his body painted in Sprouse-style graffiti and his relevant portions covered by one of the new Vuitton bags.

CHRISTINA IS "BLOWN AWAY"

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:09:15 +0000

The always fashionable Nicole Richie was spotted toting around her adorable daughter Harlow in West Hollywood last Friday, November 28, looking especially stylish and slender while doing so. If you are inspired by Nicoles outfit, start with a dark wash denim jacket, or if youre in the mood for something a little more fitting for the winter season, check out Amberlynnes luxe Victoria Coat in Plum, which has similar double-breasted button detailing, similar to the silhouette of Nicoles. From there, Nicole paired a black tee with a patterned scarf (like Alchemys Paisley Scarf in Grey), oversized black shades (similar to Nours Noushi Sunglasses in Crystal Mystery), and black leggings (check out Laura Dahls Tiny Dancers Leggings in Noir). Finally, she finished her look off with a killer pair of black knee-high Louboutin boots (for a more wallet friendly version, check out Matiko Footwears Sienna Boot in Black). Love it! In other Nicole motherhood news, it seems that Nicole and Christina Aguilera have formed a friendship over their new role as mothers, and Christina is speaking out about her high thoughts of Richie. She says, "I really appreciate people that exude a lot of talent and hard work. Because our little ones were born one day apart, I have had the opportunity of getting to know her. I was blown away by how great of a mom Nicole is. I really am. She is a great woman and I think that having a child has made her grow so much, as it made me grow as well. Anyone that wants to give anybody grief about going out is trying to be negative and trying to stir up some drama. But I have nothing but good things to say about Nicole. She doesnt go out so much." Who knew these two were so close! I think celebrity friendships are so interesting... I wonder if Paris is jealous?...

WHITNEY ON HEIDI AND SPENCER

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:32:29 +0000

The lovely Whitney Port was spotted grabbing lunch at West Hollywood eatery La Conversation with a few girlfriends on November 28, going for the modern-grunge look. If you like Whitney outfit, start with an oversized graphic tee (like Love Coutures Rose Garden Jersey Tee in Washed White- just make sure an order a size or two larger than normal) and light wash denim shorts (while Whitney wears vintage Levis, check out Joes Jeans Braided 5 Pocket Short in Berkley). Next, Whitney added a jeweled headband and white sunglasses, and finished off her look with a studded bag (take a look at Linea Pelle Collections Dylan Shoulder Messenger Bag in Black) and black leather motorcycle boots. What do you think of Whitneys look? Personally, I think she pulls it off, she has a way for dressing eclectic that seems to work for her. While (as Im sure you are aware) Heidi and Spencer announced their marriage on the cover of this weeks Us Weekly, Whitney is speaking out on her sentiments for the newly married couple. She says, "I just heard it like everyone else yesterday. Congratulations to them. I think its great if thats what theyre ready to do. Good for them." Yet another reason to love Whitney, shes always positive!...
