Kate Moss for Longchamp Launches in February




Accompanied by the Cassegrain family, owners of the famous French house, Kate unveiled her signature collection which will be at Bloomingdales in NYC as well as Longchamp boutiques on February 11th. 

Over 700 people attended the party, including Audrey Marnay, Clotilde Courau, Les Plasticines, Giambattista Valli, Loulou de la Falaise, Carine Roitfeld, Maryna Linchuk, Frida Gustavsson, Joan Smalls, Jean-Marc Barr, Anna Cleveland, Jose Garcia, Lauren Santo Domingo, Hamish Bowles, Giovanna Battaglia, Vahina Giocante, Delphine Chaneac, Olivia Bonamy, Helmut Fritz, Sara Forestier, Claire Nebout, Sarah Lelouch and Stephane Freiss.

Kate has been the face of the Longchamp for quite some time, but this will be the first collaboration between the top model and the fashion house.


Unaluna Takes Dresses to Another Level

I have no idea if I could carry this off, but if I was planning a trip to south Florida, this dress would be in my suitcase:


Bright print? Check. One shoulder? Check. 

It's gorgeous, like many of the dresses in Unaluna's spring collection. Not into the maxi dress trend? How about something a bit shorter?



Or maybe something in red?



My favorites are the prints, though. 



I always have liked standing out of the crowd.

Regardless if south Florida is in your itinerary this year, be sure to check out Unaluna online. And make sure to style those dresses with some really amazing statement necklaces.

I Was Feeling a Bit Down

And then I found this photo of David Hasselhoff:



And that suit cheered me right up. Did you hear that he has his own reality show coming? Oh, yes. Don't Hassel the Hoff, indeed .

I Can't Talk Fashion and Not Talk Gaga



I love the way she can carry off even the ridiculous, like those white pants. Notice I don't think the jacket is ridiculous - that thing is just sick. Love it.

Lady GaGa is performing here at Radio City Music Hall, and you can see more of her fabulous costumes at The Monitor. If you're lucky enough to be a NYC native, you can catch her through the 24th.

Spanx To Offer a Swimsuit Line

And frankly, I'm thrilled.

I make no secret of my love for the Spanx brand, and wear them almost every day. Having a swimsuit that can nip and tuck just thrills me beyond all measure. Check them out:



The one in the middle will be mine. Oh, yes. It will indeed be mine. See you on the beach!

Project Runway, the Video Game?

Why, yes. Yes, indeed.



Looks like Atari will be bringing the fun to the Wii, and not only will you be designing the outfits, you will be the one to strut down the catwalk using your Wii balance board. And it's not just about the clothes either - you will be able to create makeup looks on your model as well. The best part? Tim Gunn has lent his voice to the project, as well as my boyfriend, Michael Kors. I can only hope he's as catty on the game as he is on the show.

Look for Project Runway to hit stores March 2. Will you buy it?

Lindsay's 6126 Line Appears to be a Lot of Copying

File this one under "no one is really all that surprised," but word is getting out that Lindsay's 6126 line might be full of copycat designs.

I know, I'm shocked too. Really.

The first word to hit the street that something was up was when James Lillis, designer of Black Milk clothing, pointed out the similarities between LiLo's "Diamond" leggings with his "Sheer Spartans."

Uh oh. That's no good. Check out James Lillis' blog for his side of the story.

Then Fashionista.com noticed that a dress Lindsay wore last year by designer Jen Kao is strikingly familiar to the "Deserve" dress in Lindsay's collection. Obviously Jen Kao had plenty to say about it. Read that and the entire messy story over at WWD.

Bad form, Linds. If you can't design your own stuff, at least hire someone who can. Stealing isn't nice, even if imitiation is the best form of flattery.

First Look: Edward Beiner Eyewear

Miami based eyewear designer Edward Beiner is expanding his collection. Never heard of him? Well, Jennifer Lopez and Heidi Klum have, and apparently they are regulars in his Miami boutiques. 

I'm a self-admitted sunglass junkie - I buy them almost as often as I buy new handbags. It's a real problem. But enough about me - take a look at these beauties!

When Glam Goes Wrong



Now, I love me some JLo. She sets the standard for glamorous as far as I'm concerned. However, catsuits are really never a good idea. And is it just me, or is there some severe cameltoe going on here?

Look closely and discuss.
