What Fashion Insiders Think Of Glamour's Plus-Size Model

image
We told you all about how much positive response Glamour magazine has received from readers for the image of a nude plus-size model featured in the September issue. Lizzie Miller has since appeared on "Today" and copies of the magazine are selling out. Catherine wondered whether the overwhelmingly positive response would result in magazines, and the fashion industry, finally recognizing that beauty comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and that they would start featuring more models like Miller on a regular basis. The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman wrote on his blog, "When I am shooting on the street older women and larger size women often say 'no' to my request to shoot them... I think they have a real suspicion about how the image will be used. I also think there continues to be a growing disconnect between the fashion community and 'average' women in general."

Uniqlo To Team Up With, Gulp, Disney?

image
Uniqlo has been trying hard to keep up with the Topshops and H&Ms of the world lately by announcing new initiatives and designer collaborations. Yet, the Japanese retailer seems to be lacking in direction-- last week's debut of its Jil Sander collection didn't quite live up to fab collab standards. Now Uniqlo has just announced that they've teamed up with Walt Disney to release a line of Disney-themed products next month. Is this move to satisfy Japanese American fandom? Uniqlo trying to be ironic? Or, the more likely scenario... an attempt to produce something cute. Or, as they say in Japan, kawaii. Want to know more about this Uniqlo/ Disney venture?

The Frisky Asks: How Much Do We Love This i-D Cover?

image
A few months ago both Chanel Iman and Sessilee Lopez tweeted about a "major" moment in fashion and a surprise cover. That should have been clue enough for some folks to guess. Now the secret is out: the two young models, along with Jourdan Dunn and Arlenis Sosa, grace the cover of i.D magazine's September issue. The iconic photo features all four girls with corset-inspired tops, figure-hugging skirts, matching black gloves and shimmery makeup. It was shot in London by Emma Summerton and styled by i-D fashion director Edward Enninful. Besides featuring four of the hottest models of the moment in one sitting, this issue is distinctive for yet another reason: It is the only non-urban magazine to opt for women of color on its September cover.

Tried & Tested: The Best Cotton Tee On The Market

image
Jeans always get front and center when it comes to icons of American style. But everyone knows the silent star is really the T-shirt. Where would James Dean, Marlon Brando, or Michael Jackson have been without the super simple, super sexy white t-shirt? There are several elements that elevate the standard tee: color, graphics, fit and, most importantly, fabric. The latter is what makes Market tees so amazing. The recently debuted line believes in simplicity. So they limit their collection to a variety of plain, cotton t-shirts that still manage to be infinitely comfortable and sexy. Drew Barrymore, Blake Lively and Lindsay Lohan have all been snapped while wearing them. What drives them to the brand is what will make you fall in love, too: buttery fabrics, rainbow colors, and the perfect fit. We got to test-run these tees and got more compliments than we can count. They're perfect paired with jeans and sneakers or a chic mini-skirt and heels-- and the prices are equally attractive at $24 to $35. Click over to our friends at The Frisky to check out Market's latest styles and colors and find out where to buy them online!

Are Baggy, Footless Tights In Your Fashion Future?

image
I'm all for most hosiery trends, whether it be two-toned, crazy-patterned, or studded leg wear. And I've never been an opponent of "tights as pants," as long as it's done tastefully. But I have to admit that I don't know what to make of Wolford's Voile leggings/footless tights. Isn't hosiery supposed to be fitted, not baggy? I have to say that these look like the cheap stockings sold at drugstores and bodegas, which are barely adequate when you're in a bind and create a very unsexy-looking leg. These leggings, however, aren't inexpensive, and retail for about $62. They not only look weird (and not in a good eccentric way) and cost too much, but are also impractical. I can't think of any way to rock these that wouldn't make the wearer look short and malnourished. Well, I guess if you're trying to look thinner, these might do the trick, but would you really want to risk having your style license revoked? I didn't think so. Head over to TheFrisky for more!

Seventeen Mag Goes Retro For September Issue

image
Of all the high-fashion, high-concept, high-flying September magazine covers out there, this is our fave. Behold the first-ever cover of Seventeen magazine, from September 1944, which will also be the subscription cover of their upcoming September 2009 issue in honor of their 65th anniversary. We love that the cover model hasn't changed: a young, pretty, all-American girl. But everything else has! Notice the single cover line? The first edition keeps it simple with "Young fashions & beauty, movies & music, ideas & people," instead of the standard shtick you see on teen fashion magazines today ("284 ways to change your look" anyone?). The magazine was pretty cheap too, only $0.13. Today, it's $2.99. Head over to TheFrisky for more fun fashion industry news.

Forever Young: John Hughes Film Fashion

image
John Hughes can pretty much be credited for the creation of the archetypal American high school, and his classic films popularized the style and feel of teens in the '80s. What he brought to the screen didn't just influence trends at the time-- it continues to trickle into fashion movements. Here, a look at the quintessential looks from Hughes' movies, some of which are totally relevant today thanks to the '80s being back in a big way.


The bucket hat and blazer: In 1986's "Pretty In Pink," Molly Ringwald plays heroine Andie. She isn't the most popular girl in school, but she loves fashion and shows off her creative personal style. With a nod to "Annie Hall," Ringwald modeled the menswear-inspired look, but added a feminine edge with floral scarves, which eventually gave way to the "Blossom" craze.

OMFG: Rodarte To Design For Target!

image
Rodarte is designing a line for Target's Go International project, allowing us to die happy after purchasing, well, everything the day it's available on December 20. Because, really, what else is there to live for once you've filled your closet with Rodarte for $60 instead of $4,000? We'd sort of resigned ourselves to the idea that Rodarte would always just be a little too cool to be at all accessible, but the 55 piece Target collection plans have proven us wrong and caused us to hold our collective breathe in anticipation. Rather focusing on any one specific type of the clothing, the line is said to range from knee highs to party dresses and jackets, meaning we could potentially make endless combinations in our online shopping carts as a means of entertaining ourselves. And because Rodarte is Rodarte and, thus, known for their over-the-top-awesome details, you can count on a semi-scaled back interpretation of the same sort of intensity you see in their regular runway shows.

Vogue Australia Celebrates 50 With Illustrated Covers

image
While Anna Wintour has been at work making her magazine "recession-friendly," the international Vogue editions have been heading in an artsier direction lately with innovative collaborations and special editions all around. Now, Vogue Australia has also decided to do something a bit different. For its 50th anniversary, the magazine is putting out a commemorative issue (September 2009) featuring the work of famous fashion and celeb illustrator, David Downton. In four separate covers, Downton sketched Cate Blanchett in vintage styles that recall the days before photography. It's a great reminder of the history behind the magazine, as well as fashion's journey through the years. To read more, head on over to The Frisky!

Get Ready For Fall With Rad Motorcycle Jackets

image
You know all those pretty little floral sundresses we've been advocating lately? Well, we wouldn't want to leave you high and dry with a closet full of unwearable clothing come fall, so we've rounded up a handful of motorcycle jackets and vests to take those prints well into the cooler season, and possibly even winter (with black leather boots and opaque tights, of course). Some of the options veer towards the splurge-y side, but nice leather is one of those things worth spending on. We like the perforated leather (look really closely and you can see the tiny holes punched into it), on this jacket from Topshop. Click on over to The Frisky to see more motorcycle jackets fit for fall!
