— Looking for a non-traditional wedding gown but at an affordable price? Well, if you can wait until Valentine’s Day 2011 you’re in luck. The young and quirky apparel company Urban Outfitters is launching a bridal brand! Yes, you heard that right, but have no fear of ironic screen printing on your gown; the brand is likely to be an off-shoot of their romantic vintage brand, Anthropologie.
— Last week Tommy Hilfiger spoke to students at Notre Dame about working in the fashion industry and his success. One interesting quote from Tommy, “If you are considering inventing something that two people and a dog will be interested in, go back to the drawing board,” he said. “I put my vision through a filter. I knew there was great opportunity in making clothes people would wear and be able to afford. You will be successful if you’re doing something you love.”
— The fabulous fashion site, Fashionista asks the questions, do fashion interns need to be paid? For most of us the unpaid internship was a right of passage, and like all things in school you earned credits not dollars, but should that continue? Read their informative post here.
— So, what is more annoying than celebrities launching fashion labels? When celebrities’ children do. Madonna and her daughter Lordes have launched the junior label, Material Girl for Macy’s based on Lordes style and her design ability (right, not her mother’s fame and name recognition, sure). Particularly grating is Madonna’s comment, “If Lola wasn’t so completely involved in the line, designing, consulting, whatever you want to call it, I wouldn’t do it. Really she does most of the work, honestly.” We know what we’d call it – licensing your name out.
