Get Ready, Get Set…Mayor Bloomberg Announces Details of This Year’s Fashion’s Night Out

Get Ready, Get Set…Mayor Bloomberg Announces Details of This Year’s Fashion’s Night Out

Fashion’s Night Out (not to be confused with Victoria, Canada’s fledgling fashion event) is celebrating its second birthday this fall and New York mayor Michael Bloomberg shared the final details of the much-anticipated event.

Last year’s event filled the streets with fashion lovers in nearly every neighborhood where there were events, and this year promises to be even bigger – and hopefully better for retailers who gave mixed reviews on the sales success. September 10th will bring together fashion retailers, celebrities and designers in a celebration of fashion and its importance on our communities and the global economy. Steve Sadove, CEO of Saks Fifth Ave noted at last year’s event, “We started to see a turn in the industry, sales started to stabilize,” he claimed.

Marc Jacobs Plans to Introduce Plus Sizes

Marc Jacobs Plans to Introduce Plus Sizes

Marc Jacobs’ business partner, Robert Duffy, seems to be loose-lipped when it comes to tweeting about the designer and his latest ventures. Recently Duffy tweeted about plans for a plus sized line.

We love the idea, and think it’s about time we saw a plus size collection from the designer, although we wonder how Marc feels about his partner letting the news slip on twitter.

Marc Jacobs is the Latest to Finally Relent to the Internet

Come September, consumers can purchase directly from marcjacobs.com

The Marc Jacobs fashion label is worth an estimated $5 million, but up to this point the brand had no e-commerce store of its own. The top American fashion designer’s lack of online retail until now is actually more interesting than the recent news that marcjacobs.com will begin selling clothes this September. In any other industry, just now breaking into e-commerce would be totally unheard of, ironic, inexcusable and perplexing.

Predictions for MAC’s Disney Villain Inspired Line

Disney's Beautiful Villains: Ursula (top left), Cruella de Vil (top right), Maleficent (bottom)

MAC announced it took inspiration from four Disney devils for its Venomous Villains collection, and that is just about all they are revealing about the line to debut late this September in all MAC locations. Lipstick, lip gloss, powder and blushes priced between $12 and $29.50 will be featured in this limited edition set, so we’re thinking the pink complexion of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland may have inspired blushes to appear alongside products thought of with the more obvious muse, Cruella De Vil.

Marc Jacobs Goes Grade School Chic

A sneak peak of some of the products that will presumably land on shelves in Marc Jacobs’ imminent bookstore on Bleecker Street in New York’s West Village has wormed its way into the Marc by Marc Jacobs Accessories Shop, also on Bleecker Street.

A few Bookmarc products spotted among the usual belts, T-shirts and key chains sold in the Accessories Shop included colored pencils, book covers and pencil cases. Photos of Bookmarc colored pencils were posted by twitter users who had the chance to visit the shop last weekend.

It seems Mr. Jacobs is out to turn fashion-minded grade school goers into the chicest of their classmates.

Christopher Kane, who was mentored by Donatella Versace

This year, fashion grads searching for their first job will find it downright daunting and nearly impossible to land an entry-level position. Only 10 percent of the students graduating from F.I.T.’s accessories program have found full-time jobs, according to WWD’s Footwear News, and the same statistic holds for shoe-design students from Parsons.
