Kanye West's Louis Vuitton Sneakers Delayed

by Najwa Moses at July 2, 2009, 1:09 PM

The King of Hype a.k.a. fashionisto wannabe -- yea, I said it -- and last we heard, an intern for Marc Jacobs, won't be launching his $700 Louis Vuitton sneaker line until the end of the year. Previously set to launch this past spring, no one has any clue as to why the realease of the much hyped sneakers has been pushed back... However, for those of us who are heavy Kanye followers, the man has been known to discuss launching his fashion line Pastelle for a thousand years and noone has seen that yet. I mean, not even a t-shirt or baseball cap...

Wear it Like the King of Pop

by The Copy Shop at July 1, 2009, 1:00 PM

It's almost been a week since the tragic passing of the King of Pop, and many people are still compelled to celebrate the legend's life, hence the many Michael Jackson themed parties going on around the city this weekend (many of which I plan on attending).

In recognition of his role as a fashion icon, I'm paying homage to him with a fresh Michael Jackson inspired outfit!

The obvious MJ fashion piece is the infamous sparkly white glove (I'm breaking out the bedazzler and making one at home) but the pop icon also made big aviators, zip jackets, and black loafers incredibly cool. I got on Bluefly and ordered these sweet aviators by Marc Jacobs which totally resemble the King of Pop's as well as these moonwalk-friendly black loafers by Kors Michael Kors. I'm going to dig in my closet for an old leather jacket, otherwise I'll probably get this zip denim jacket by Diesel to finish off the look.

Beyoncé and Tina Knowles Launch Sasha Fierce

by Najwa Moses at July 1, 2009, 10:00 AM

Yea, didn't you think it was coming? Sasha Fierce this and Sasha Fierce that, I'm not surprised that they're now launching a clothing line with the moniker.

Utilizing the name of the singer's alter ego and third solo album, "I Am...Sasha Fierce," the mother and daughter design team plans to launch a new junior apparel label, Sasha Fierce for Deréon, for back-to-school selling. The collection, which is inspired by Beyoncé's stage presence (she is on a world tour through November), includes a full range of sportswear, outerwear, handbags, footwear, eyewear, lingerie and jewelry.

The collection, Tina said, is "edgier and trendier and reflects Sasha Fierce's daring and outgoing attitude."

The jewelry, shoes and eyewear, she added, "are really over the top" with large chains made in mixed metals such as silver with gold, heavily studded shoes and oversize sunglasses while the clothes are a little more subdued to make the accessories stand out -- a one-shoulder dress, black bodysuit, fake leather jacket with oversize collar, leggings and destructed jeans with mesh and lace details lining the ripped material.

Cue up the music from your fave '80s sitcom...cause that's where this collection is headed.
