• These days, it’s hard to trust Rihanna‘s sartorial judgement, but that’s not stopping British brand River Island from teaming up with the singer on a capsule collection. Said our friend Ms. Fenty in a statement: “I’ve been wanting to design my own collection for some time. River Island is the perfect partner for me to collaborate with and working with a British, family run business also really appealed to me. I find London really inspiring and River Island loves to have fun with clothes. I’m looking forward to working with them and creating something really special.” River Island’s stuff is actually really cute! I have faith their design team will guide our Robyn into creating something we all want to wear! (Fashionista)
• It’s confirmed: Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Georgia May Jagger, and Lily Cole will take a turn down the runway during the closing ceremonies at the London Olympics. The models will wear looks from Briatin’s most celebrated designers like Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood. Can’t wait to see these chicks turn it out! (Grazia)
• The love affair between First Lady Michelle Obama, and her majesty, King Bey of the House of Yaki continues. Back in April, Ms. Knowles penned a letter to Ms. Obama, praising her general awesomeness. Now, the Obama-Biden reelection campaign has recorded the ‘Get Me Bodied’ singer reading the letter, as a sign of support for President Obama’s second term. (Celebrity-Gossip)
• The Olsen Twins designed these $275 sneakers for Elizabeth and James‘s Resort 2013 footwear collection. To me, they look like something your unstylish country aunt would wear to look “chic” on a trip to Europe. What do you think of them? (Refinery 29)
• Louis Vuitton will offer a bespoke handbag service, just in case 1,000-$3,000 wasn’t enough for one of the brand’s covetable bags. Starting July 30th, you can head over to the brand’s Haute Maroquinerie salon over at their New Bond Street location in London to design your bag. The sketch will then be sent to Paris to be made over the course of six months to a year. Quite a long wait, no? Would you wait that long for a custom Louis bag? (Vogue UK)

Jihan – you kill me. House of Yaki! The country aunt! Love it ALL. I hope FBD isn’t the only place you write.

lol house of yaki…
I love River Island, so I’m interested to see what they’ll cook up, also those Elizabeth and James kicks are disappointing considering their heels are usually very cute

July 16, 2012 3:30 pm
Yep, yep River Island. That should be fun. On trend, looks like the high end stuff but not exact dupes, really appreciate them!
July 16, 2012 4:01 pm
ummmm yea right . ” guide Robyn” more like do the whole thing for her and then just slap her celebrity name on it so they can sell out. IJS

“King Bey of the House of Yaki” …………… AMAZEBALLS!
July 16, 2012 4:36 pm

July 16, 2012 4:45 pm
Jihan, your writing style is very similar to Kid Fury’s..
July 16, 2012 6:16 pm
Task tsk , Jihan you gotta remember .. This isn’t a gossip site, no name calling should be coming from the writer’s end … If anything you should leave that to the readers lol ….
July 16, 2012 6:45 pm
Jihan, I think you’re doing great. Some people don’t know the difference between having a personality & hating..anywho don’t change and thing and keep doing you cause nobody does it better.
Hi Claire I love my FBD family
July 16, 2012 8:34 pm
ok, i died at house of Yaki too! LoL
July 17, 2012 1:33 am
Can’t wait to see Naomi and Kate turn it out. Also, those are the ugliest sneakers I’ve ever seen in my life. And I would love my own custom designed Vuitton “murse”. If only I had an extra $1,000-$3,000 just lying around.

Loves me some River Island!

Remember those tennis shoes called kangaroos that were like $40. That is what MnA’s shoes look like.
July 18, 2012 6:17 pm
there’s a fine line in being funny and being insulting…I don’t think Jihan and her ilk know the difference…but then again that’s the kind of ratchet comedy “our people” like degrading and insulting…especially towards women…
