    Jimmy Choo For H&M Is Almost Here!

    Finally, the day is almost here! The Jimmy Choo collection is the first time H&M is collaborating with an accessories brand and we think it's a pretty fabulous brand to go for on a first try! And it sounds like quite a bit of work went into making this happen. According to Tamara Mellon, the founder and president of Jimmy Choo, "It was a challenge for us to create high-quality pieces at an H&M price point." We believe it! And since the line is more than just shoes and accessories, it will definitely be different from the traditional Jimmy Choo line. We're interested to see how the line fares for H&M. We think it will be hugely popular (we hear they're giving out wristbands for opening day!), but have to wonder if it will cheapen the Jimmy Choo brand as a whole. Clearly Mellon doesn't think so, or we're sure she wouldn't have agreed to the collaboration. She said, "It was H&M's idea to [do clothes], and as soon as they said it, I really wanted to do it." It will definitely allow them to meet a whole new audience; that's for sure! Make sure to check it out when it arrives on November 14! Check back with Limelife for more news on designer collabos!

    Jean Paul Gaultier is doing a Target collection, reports The Cut via WWD. The over-the-top designer's collection will be available at more than 250 Target stores across the country and Target.com on March 7 through April 11. Following Alexander McQueen and Anna Sui, Gaultier is the third established designer to do a collection for the mass retailer under the Designer Collaboration series. His chosen muse? The American woman, "celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture," a Target spokesperson says. I remember being thrilled by Gaultier's risque designs as a young girl (Madonna's cone-bra corset comes to mind). My mother's dislike of his iconic female/male perfume bottles only made me want them more; both still sit prominently displayed in my glass bathroom cabinet. This Frenchman holds a special place in my heart so I look forward to what he'll bring to Target audiences.

    Lindsay Lohan finally has a job... in fashion! And we hope it will involve more than leggings and self-tanner. We're not really sure how we feel about Lindsay Lohan's fashion sense (errr), but apparently Emanuel Ungaro trusts her as he just allowed her to sign on to his company as artistic advisor. One thing is for certain, Ungaro is going to get a whole lot of attention having Lindsay working for them. And Emanuel knows this -- even if we don't love it, we'll definitely be paying attention to it. We can't wait to see how the new Ungaro line looks. Do you think people will take well to it or do you think they'll avoid anything bearing Lindsay's name? Get more details over at Limelife!

    We're all about a hot recession-friendly designer collabo, and in tough times like these, we're definitely not the only ones! In honor of Charlotte Ronson's new line for JC Penney, "I Heart Ronson," celebs and socialites alike gathered at NYC's Lighthouse for barbeque fare, beach volleyball, and killer dance tracks, thanks to the designer's famous DJ siblings, Mark and Samantha. The collection's fall line is said to include lots of fun florals and floaty blouses with on emphasis on flirty low-maintenance style. And while the designer and her wardrobe were naturally the focus of the evening, plenty of stylish stars were present to help share the spotlight. Mischa Barton and Alexa Chung were among some of the launch celebration's fashionable attendees, decked out in their favorite Ronson duds. Vote below on which party guest you think stole the spotlight! Photo Credit: PR Photos

    Yes, it's possible. As if the clothes on "Gossip Girl" weren't chic enough, now, two very well-known fashion designers are making cameos on the show's upcoming new season. And those women are Tory Burch and Georgina Chapman. Both Tory Burch and Georgina Chapman were spotted at the "Gossip Girl" studio in Long Island, NY, filming scenes for the new season. It's a big secret how the two fashionistas will be woven into the show's plot, but it was revealed that some of the set was made to look like Tory Burch's office. So, we're thinking one of the girls is trying to get a job? Or a college internship? Chapman said, "I am a huge fan [of Gossip Girl]. I was very nervous [on-set]." We have a feeling she did a fine job. We're getting more and more excited about the new season of "Gossip Girl" as we keep hearing about new cast members and guest celebrities. It's gonna be a good one! Tory and Georgina's scenes will air on the October 5th episode. Click on over to our friends at Limelife for more!
