The Fashion Bomb News Breakdown: Kerry Washington Covers Essence March 2012, Alberta Ferretti For Macy’s Impulse, and Anna Wintour is A Top Fundraiser for the Obama Campaign
•Kerry Washington covers Essence Magazine’s March 2012 issue in a white hot dress. What do you think of the shot? (Essence)
• First she features it-girls Solange Knowles, Julia Sarr-Jamois, and Oroma Elewa in her demi couture runway show, and now, she’s teaming up with Macy’s. Alberta Ferretti is the latest designer to lend her talents to the famed department store’s Impulse collection. The 30-piece capsule is the picture of femininity, with sketches revealing a lace-trimmed blouse and eyelet lace pants (!), and a frothy floor-sweeping draped chiffon gown. The collection will be available in 185 Macy’s stores starting April 17, with prices ranging from $49-$119. So who’s buying? (WWD)
• Harper’s Bazaar has overhauled the design of its whole magazine, rolling out a cleaner, more modern look for its March issue. Covering the newly revamped issue is Gwyenth Paltrow in a revealing Anthony Vaccarello dress, looking down, possibly making sure none of her ladybits are falling out. The magazine will be an inch longer (still not quite so long as W), have thicker pages, and a more organized layout. The cover you see here is the one that will be sent to subscribers. What do you think of Harpers’ new look? (WWD)
• Anna Wintour has already raised $500,000 for Barack Obama‘s reelection, making her one of the top-tier “bundlers” for the campaign. How’d she do it? Dinners at her private home and forcing Marc Jacobs to participate in Runway to Win. (The Cut)
• Daphne Guinness‘s fifth avenue apartment is on sale for $14 million, but I’m really interested in that fabulous painting featuring Naomi Campbell in her living room. (Curbed)
• You won’t be seeing Nicki Minaj‘s heelless Giusseppe Zanotti platforms and poor man’s Grace Jones pose on BET anytime soon. The channel that once aired *classic* hip-hop music videos like “Tip Drill,” has banned ”Stupid Hoe” for being too explicit. Music videos featuring strippers: ok. Music videos featuring Nicki Minaj shaking her appendagebooty in a cage: not ok. (Hello Beautiful)
• Victoria Beckham‘s fashion film short for her new brand, Victoria by Victoria Beckham is delightfully quirky, playful, and cat-filled. Check it out! (Fashionista)~Jihan

The Fashion Bomb News Breakdown: Solange Knowles Talks to Vogue Italia, Kimora Lee Simmons’s New Skincare Line, and Target’s New Approach to Collaborations
• Solange Knowles sat down with Vogue Italia’s Black Blog to talk black women in fashion and of course, her unique sense of style.
The new aunt might have her big sis Beyoncé to buy her 25 pairs of designer shoes for her birthday, but just like the rest of us, she can’t afford cop all the designer duds she wants: “I am still on last season’s wish list! I still need to dive into some of the insane sales of things I drooled over but could not fix myself to buy new things when I have a new house to furnish. There is a pink and orange wool jacket from Bottega Veneta that I am lusting over. A yellow Proenza Skirt I have been trying to get my hands on forever. I am definitely into waiting until I can truly afford the statement pieces I love, that I will wear forever!” Fashionable and practical (and wanting the same pieces I do?) Did she just get more awesome, or is it just me? (Vogue Italia)
• Harlem rapper Azealia Banks has been garnering notoriety around the music scene for her raunchy lyrics and downtown cool-girl style. But now, it seems the “212″ singer is trying to earn her stripes as a fashion icon. Banks is said to be working with Lady Gaga stylist and Mugler creative director Nicola Formichetti on her new music video. But that’s not all. Yesterday, both she and Formichetti tweeted that they were spending day together shooting for V magazine! Could we have a new mega style icon of color in the making? (Fashionista)
• Kimora Lee Simmons is set to debut her new line of skincare products, Shinto Clinical. The nine-piece line is inspired by the marriage of Eastern and Western skincare traditions. Ingredients like pearl powder, beta glucan, and Wakame kelp extract hearken to the regimen of Eastern women, while the clinical aspect of the products are a nod to western culture. Included in the line are cleverly named products like Pore it Out, a pore concealer and Wrinkle Shrink, a wrinkle diminishing serum. The line will launch on QVC February 24, and will make the move to retail spots like Nordstrom in early March. (WWD)
• First Lady and style icon Michelle Obama launched a twitter account yesterday! @MichelleObama is managed by the Obama 2012 campaign staff, but any tweets written by the lady herself will be signed “-mo.” So far, she has over 248,000 followers! The only thing that would make this account cooler is if Ms. Obama tweeted her outfits everyday, but I doubt that will happen. (WWD)
• Target is expanding its reach and taking a new approach to capsule collaborations. The mega-retailer announced it will be partnering with small boutiques and specialty stores from all over the country, bringing small town wares to Target customers. Soon, you’ll be able to enjoy products from Cos Bar, a beauty shop in Aspen, or spoil your pampered pooch with gourmet dog treats from Boston’s Polka Dog Bakery. Three other stores have joined this first round of shops, and throughout the year more will be introduced. What a great way to support small businesses! (Styleite)•H&M has created the H&M Design Award to honor fashion students for outstanding work upon graduation. The very first award will be bestowed February 1st upon one lucky winner during Stockholm Fashion Week, followed by a show with the winner’s collection. Yay for supporting up and coming designers!

Source: Vogue.it10 Medium Length Hairstyles to Try in 2012
For some medium-length hair is transition stage from growing out a short cut, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! Keeping your hair cut into a style helps keep your ‘do looking fresh and new not to mention how a great cut complements your wardrobe. Here’s a look at ten to try this year…
1. Somewhat asymmetrical. We’re not talking angles so sharp you have to break out your protractor nor do you have to look like the lost fourth member of Salt N’ Pepa, but a soft, slightly asymmetrical ‘do like Lala Anthony is sporting can go corporate to fashion without having to change the style much. The key here is soft waves and curls.
2. Pinned up curls. A great way to wear the hair up, salvage a hair slip-up, or to prolong a three or four day old twist out is to grab some hairpins and twist sections up on the sides then finger fluff. It’s great because you don’t have to be super neat for it to look good.
3. Medium length bob. Take your basic bob to a new level by gently teasing at the crown for height and volume and lightly bumping the ends with a flat or curling iron.
4. Twist-out ‘fro. Take your medium coils to new heights with a twist out. The bigger the better—and here neatness need not count.
5. Long bob with bangs. This sleek cut can give major drama whether worn with a suit or jeans. The bangs bring attention to the eyes so grab colored liners for pops of color on the bottom waterline.
6. Side swept bangs. This cut is perfect for someone who doesn’t want to cut off too much length and is easy to grow out since the bangs aren’t super short. As the hair grows in, you can keep it in this shape or slick the hair back as the bangs grow in.
7. Loc bob. Have even more fun with your locs by cutting them into a cute face-framing bob. Add in some honey or auburn highlights around the face for warmth.
8. Wavy bob. Okay, so this is much like the side swept bangs, but the waves give it a beachy-flair. Get waves either by doing pin curls before bed time or wrap small sections of the hair around a curling wand.
9. Chunky twist-out. A chunky twist-out is a great way to add volume in natural hair and looks best when hair is trimmed. To do, simply twist big sections of slightly damp hair with your curling or hold cream of choice. Once dry, apply a little hair oil to your fingers to prevent frizzing while unraveling. Try not to finger comb the unraveled twists too much to avoid disturbing the wave pattern.
10. The Lauryn Hill long loc bob. The Grammy Award-winning superstar may not have invented this ‘do, but she did start quite the loc-craze back in 1997 with this long bob style.
