Gaga post du jour

Finally! I've been Gaga deprived!

Lady Gaga attended a press conference in New York today to promote Heartbeats, her new line of headphones.

Those fabulous shades are by Alexander Wang (Spring 2010 collection) and the dress is thought to be custom spring 2010 Marc Jacobs.

J'adore!

NYFW - Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2010

I know it's a little late, but after watching footage from the show at my internship, I realized how genius Alexander Wang's Spring/Summer 2010 collection is.

The CFDA Swarovski award winner for womenswear is brilliant at creating simplistic, yet basic pieces that are still distinctly Wang.

This season's collection was very athletic-inspired, with grey hooded sweatshirts, football shoulders, "tighty whitey"-inspired dresses and varsity team jackets.

Also the models were sporting gorgeous, thick braids in their hair, a look that is very easy to mimic.

Check out some of the looks below!

Marc Jacobs in LV bunny ears?

Every year, the CFDA Journal showcases the work of the CFDA Awards nominees.

This year, however, photographer Craig McDean and stylist Karl Templer opted to use the designers wearing their own creations, rather than the models.

So, Marc Jacobs donned his Louis Vuitton bunny ears, and Jason Wu threw his dress over his suit. As for Alexander Wang, well, check out the photo below...

2009 Gap Design Editions Campaign Images

As previously reported, Alexander Wang has designed a khaki motorcycle jacket for the Gap, as part of the brand's 2009 Gap Design Editions.

The Gap has previously collaborated with nominees from the CFDA/Vogue fashion fund, where the designers had to put their own spin on the traditional white button down shirt.

This time, however, the designers were offered the opportunity to re-interpret a different Gap classic - the Khaki.

2008 Fashion Fund Winners Albertus Swanepoel and Vena Cava (Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai), along with Wang, designed numerous khaki pieces including jackets, dresses and hats.

The print campaign for the collaboration features models Coco Rocha, Raquel Zimmerman, Anna J, and Arlenis posing with the designers.

The collection will be available in stores and online on June 16th, with items ranging from $39.50-$88.

Alexander Wang collaborating with Gap

Exciting news!

Gap VP of Design, Patrick Robinson revealed to Teen Vogue that Alexander Wang will be designing something special for the line.

"He did this incredible motorcycle jacket in khaki that's going to be under $100. It's coming out on June 16th, so get ready!" said Robinson.

The Gap has previously collaborated with nominees from the CFDA/Vogue fashion fund, where the designers had to put their own spin on the traditional white button down shirt.

Finally! I've been waiting for the Gap to come out with something less preppy and basic, and more fashion forward! I can't wait to see what the jacket looks like!

Genius idea

I hate wearing pants, especially jeans.

The struggle to put on my extra-tight skinnies, only for them to stretch out and expose my bottom as the day goes on is just too aggravating for me.

Then came Alexander Wang's collaboration with Superfine.

The three look capsule collection features jeans (available in three different washes) with a top to bottom zipper.

A genius way to incorporate the zipper trend, while ensuring practicality.

I might just have to drop my "no jeans" rule for this one.

The collection (which also includes a slouch skinny and hotpant) is available at Shopbop and at Oak, NYC.
