Fashion News.

H&M is one of New York's fastest growing fashion name and they come with the announcement that it will open its largest store in the world next year.

The space, on Fifth Avenue at 48th Street, clocks in at 57,000-square feet with six levels of shopping.

The location brings things full circle for the brand, which first touched down stateside in 2000, just three blocks from the future location.

Since then, the label has wasted no time blazing a path across the country.

There are currently 247 U.S. outposts, and Manhattan will see its 12th store open in The Shops at Columbus Circle by the end of the year.

Aside from the gargantuan size, the new space will be different from others in the fact that it will offer all of H&M's collections, including lingerie, children's, maternity, and home.

The Swedish retailer's former top spot was at The Forum Shops at Caesars in Las Vegas.

First Look: Fashion Collaboration.

First Look Kirna Zabete x Target.

Kirna Zabete is the place for emerging luxury designers, must-have handbags, and animal print everything.

They've paired with Target for a fall collection that ranges from $19.99 - $199.99.

Included in the range: clothes, jewels, bags, and a rather genius play on leopard spots involving lipstick kisses and several yards of polyester.

The line hits Target stores and Target.com on September 9.

First Look: Fashion Collaboration.

First look at Nicole Richie x Macy's.

Richie is bringing a new collection to Macy's this Fall that swirls her signature hippie aesthetic with a straight-and-narrow price point for everyone.

The range hits stores in early Fall and here is a first look at Nicole in the campaign shot by Camilla Akrans at Milk Studios in Los Angeles below.

Fame Perfume Trailer.

In the 34-second trailer, the pop star dons a series of bizarrely futuristic outfits, emerges from some kind of black goop, screams and gets scaled by dozens of tiny men.

"The fragrance is called Fame," Gaga told Vogue's September issue.

"It must be black. It must be enticing. You must want to lick and touch and feel it, but the look of it must terrify you."

"[Blood and semen] is in the perfume, but it doesn't smell like it.

You just get sort of the after feeling of sex from the semen, and the blood is sort of primal," she explained.

"And the blood was taken from my own blood sample, so it's like a sense of having me on your skin."

Fame will hit shelves at Macy's Wednesday.

Campaign Ad.

Gisele Bundchen models for David Yurkman's Fall 2012 campaign ad.

Gisele is drenched in Yurman's luxurious jewels while being shot by Peter Lindbergh on the beaches of Malibu, California.

She showcases an array of fall gems, including the Labyrinth line, which is the latest addition to the Silver Ice collection.

David Lipman, chief creative officer of Lipman Advertising, said in a press release, "We loved shooting in Malibu.

The Yurmans lived here at one point and cherish coming back.

Gisele captures the moment in time for the brand. It’s heritage, authenticity and modern day glamour."

Black & White.

Katy Perry goes black and white for a GHD campaign ad.

In the pop star's latest ads for ghd, the British brand known for its hair-straightening and styling tools.

Perry was named GHD ambassador of March of 2011.

She has been in a number of colorful campaigns for the line since, channeling '70s Cher or playing a flapper.

But this latest set is a departure—and not just because of the hair color.

Forgoing the psychedelic hues of campaigns past, Ellen von Unwerth captured the singer in black and white.

"It was fun to go a more natural route after playing characters in my last ghd campaign," Perry said. "Ellen von Unwerth captured both the playful and chic looks amazingly well."

Trunk Show.

Ferragamo hosts online trunk show.

"The extreme richness of the collection is manifested through beautiful fabrics, but also through my passion for craftsmanship that is in perfect harmony with creativity and attention to detail," Creative Director Massimiliano Giometti said in a press release.

Ferragamo isn't the only brand tapping into its online community, as Barneys New York just moved its Warehouse Sale to a digital format, as well.

Streetwalker.

NYC Streetwalker Hailey Hasbrook is rocking a Proenza Schouler top, Urban Outfitters shorts, shoes, and sunglasses, and a Marc Jacobs bag.

Very fashion forward!

Baby Penelope.

Congratulations to Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick on their baby girl princess Penelope Scotland Disick.

Already in the public eye just like her mommy and aunty Kardashians, Penelope has taken the front page of US Weekly this month.

(Proud big bro Mason happily posed with his adorable sis and beaming mom!)

"Nothing could prepare me for how hard I fell in love with her," the new mom gushed to the mag.

Kourtney and Scott Disick welcomed baby Penelope exactly a month ago, on July 8, in Los Angeles. Since then, the babe has been keeping an inordinately low profile, just like her 33-year-old mama, leaving it to papa Scott and her big brother to be spotted around town.

I can't wait to see how Kourtney Kardashian will dress up her little fashionista in the making.

Now I might want to have a baby in TWOO years! :)

Watch: Solange Knowles Is the New Face of Madewell

August 7 12:00 PM by Lauren Levinson | 0 Comments

The slogan for the campaign is "Mix Well. Madewell," and she will star in the brand's fall ads and on the cover of its catalogue.

She explains her style choices to People, "I know that because I wear so much color and print, I might not want to mix so many textures.

I am also attentive to my body.

I love the way some of the oversized, extremely exaggerated, boxy proportions look on some girls...but it just doesn’t work for me."

Knowles has also been the front woman for Rimmel London, Armani, and Carol's Daughter.

Slip-Ons.

Last year the brogue resurgence and the pajama revival in the fashion industry left a comfy yet trendy shoe on the market; THE BEDROOM SLIPPER!

"Once the provenance of Dukes, Earls. and other mansion men, the bedroom slipper is often made in velvet, and sometimes embroidered with the wearers' initials."

Gap introduces their own $40 version, available in ponyskin, suede, wool, and even denim. Some pairs come with animals or keys embroidered on them; some come with polka dots and leopard prints. There are also solid colors that range from safe (black, brown, blue) to nuts (pink, red).

I might have to go in the store and try on some before I order online. These slip-ons is what I need for when school starts for the semester. I want to be completely comfortable but yet still trendy!

On being a role model: "I have no regrets...I'm not going to be everything to everyone. I can't tell a person when it's time for them to have sex. Or if they should have a cigarette...But I try to live my life with a lot of integrity, and, hopefully, that sends a message."

On relationships & marriage: "I obviously have a lot to say right now...I'm a woman who likes to be courted–strongly. Never say never, I guess you'd say. I’ll let love take the lead on that."

A TV spot for the perfume was also released, and even though it's a mere 21 seconds, there is certainly no shortage of sex appeal.

The famed fashionista will be appearing in TV, print and online campaigns for the fragrance, which is inspired by "the elegance and sensuality of the little black dress."
