3) Sarah Jessica Parker: SJP Bitten bites the fashion blogosphere

The collection, promising and affordable:

Sarah Jessica Parker may be a lady of luxury, but she wants to bring fabulous clothing to the masses at affordable prices. Since we already know that her clothing line Bitten will be inexpensive (we're talking each article under $20), now we can all dress like SJP! The collection was named after her reaction to walking into a Steve & Barry’s store for the first time - she was "bitten." She then decided to collaborate with them to create high-quality sportswear for women of all ages and sizes at a fair price. It has been reported Bitten will make its official debut on June 7th, only at Steve & Barry's stores. The line will consist of approximately 150 styles and over 400 clothing items and accessories such as: knit shirts, wool and cashmere sweaters, dresses, lingerie, denim, handbags, jewelry, belts and of course...shoes!The tagline for the collection is: "Fashion is not a luxury, it's a right." I'll second that! The concept is just perfect.

The controversy(source: WWD) :

Oprah Winfrey's power to publicize an author, a star or a designer is legendary, so naturally she was promised an exclusive on the unveiling of Sarah Jessica Parker's new Bitten line for mass chain retailer Steve & Barry's. But last week, Gawker founding editor Elizabeth Spiers' new blog site, Fashionista, published photographs from a password-protected area of a preliminary Bitten Web site intended only for long-lead-time monthly magazines. When attorneys from Steve & Barry's requested Fashionista remove the photos, it did, but by then dozens of other blogs had already posted images, giving plenty of potential customers the chance to put in their two cents.

It's a fact : The fashion blogosphere has been offended. Are you of those who think being talked about is always good? :o)

If you landed on this blog, it's probably because you are desperately looking for those damned pictures of SJP's collection. Sorry, I don't have them. They have been removed of every popular fashion blog.

Glamour have the first “official” look at the line in their June edition with Sarah Jessica Parker modeling it in a fashion spread. The Glamour photoshoot doesn’t include just Bitten clothes, she’s photographed wearing a Chanel jacket, Christian Louboutin shoes, and Bitten Sarah Jessica Parker t-shirt and jeans. I was more "bitten" by Kate Moss for Topshop preview, but hopefully I'll be surprised in a month. :o)

2) Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are going to tell u a secret : The Row

Mary Kate and Ashley have been working hard to keep all the details about this line so hush-hush.

My opinion : couldn't be more BASIC, is going to be very expensive, where is the style? Aiming at luxury and exclusivity is not a good idea for a first attempt at designing.

1) Kate Moss for Top Shop :

launched, sold out, we want more!

The most anticipated, the most talked about, the most wanted.

The fashion Sphynx created a new fashion range for High Street chain Topshop . She was paid £3 million for the hotly anticipated range, which features her trademark hotpants and jeans. It's very representative of her renowned style, very instinctive, and I think it's really worth the money, but maybe not all this mayhem.

It was launched on May 1st. Kate herself served as a mannequin in the storefront window on London's Oxford Street Topshop store. Hundreds of Kate Moss fans queued on Monday for an early taste of the British supermodel's first foray into fashion design at the launch of her eagerly awaited new range.
Kate was wearing one of her new creations -- a long red dress costing 195 pounds ($390).

Extent of the phenomenon : Yahoo news : "Kate Moss clothing launch stirs fashion frenzy" "Moss-mania breaks out with model's new range "

These bored eye-candy fashionatas are just lovely :o)

During the next two weeks, the collection will launch in another 21 countries, including at upmarket U.S. store Barney's (on May 9). The 50 piece range stretching from 12 pounds ($24) for a tight-fitting vest to a leather jacket for 150 pounds.


My Picks :

Why is it genius? british dandy style, daringly paired with jeans hotpants to create a casual and deliciously bohemian look.

Why is fashion all about instincts? because pairing a british inspired top with sexy jeans hotpants could easily be a disaster, but Kate made it stunning.

It's was all sold out but it looks like they restocked some items on the

Topshop website.
