Italian Vogue is slowly but surely proving that their commitment to diversity isn’t just a fad. Tyra Banks recently released a statement saying that the next winner of America’s Next Top Model will score a cover of the magazine along with two several page long editorials:
She says, “I was so excited when Franca Sozzani, Editor-in-Chief of Italian Vogue, reached out to me at the end of last year to be a permanent contributor on the recently launched vogue.it (Italian Vogue’s new website) – I was (and AM!) so honored and excited to be working so closely with such an iconic brand. Franca and I really hit it off; we really connected on a personal level, but even more so as we exchanged visions for the future of our brands. I knew instantly that we were destined to partner together in another BIG way; I even told Franca I’d be in touch as soon as I figured out what that was – OH, and I wasn’t kidding. Here’s ANTM with an Italian Vogue cover, and not one, but TWO in-book fashion spreads for our winner.”
Here’s to a significant upgrade to the ANTM franchise. And OMG, Tyra and I are like coworkers at Vogue.it. How exciting!

Only the bold need apply to the latest spring/summer 2010 trend: mixed prints.

Mixing patterns artfully can be super tricky, so stick to these rules if you want to give it a go:
1. Make sure one color repeats in every piece of the outfit (like Genevieve Jones, if you have an orange paisley print on top, you should have orange in whatever print you choose on the bottom).
2. Combine loose prints with structured prints (think swirls or flowers with stripes).

3. Blend small designs with large prints (think gingham mixed with bold flowers, or animal print with geometric patterns).

4. Think of stripes as neutrals that you can pair with anything.

5. Have fun!
Mix patterns flawlessly with these fun separates:
Smootches!
Fashion Bomb divas Kelly Rowland and Kim Kardashian have both been spied wearing Nicholas Kirkwoord x Rodarte’s hot hot hot (now sold out) Corroded Brasswood Pumps:

I would cut a b*tch for those shoes…and it seems I would have to with their pricetag of $2,153.
Though alleged cheap shoe devotee Rosa Acosta wholeheartedly supported buying practically priced shoes, I know we’ve all been caught up in expensive shoe lust at one time or another.
There are those fuchsia patent leather Louboutins that you just can’t stop drooling over, or that perfectly studded pair of Brian Atwoods that would go just right with your summer dresses.

Yes, they look lovely and fit your feet just right–but how much would you splurge on a pair of hot shoes if you saw ’em today?

I’ll go first. I believe the most I’ve spent on a pair of shoes would have to be the $300 I shelled out for a pair of red patent leather Kenneth Cole sandals. I was going to see Andre Leon Talley speak for the first time at the MET and wanted to wow in case I got a 1-on-1. The in person meet n’ greet never happened, but I still have those hot show stoppers (just in case).
What about you?

Hey guys!
Today’s Bombshell, Tobi, was nominated by her older sister Yewande:
Yewande says, “I am writing to nominate my little sister Tobi. She is currently a sophomore pre-med student at the University of Pennsylvania.”
“… My sister works very hard in her studies but still manages to find time to have fun (and she does it in style). Her fashion sense is very eclectic yet chic for someone of her young age and it makes me proud to see that she has blossomed into such a beautiful, respectful young lady.”
“… I wrote this just to acknowledge her awesomeness and give her style a shining spotlight.”
“…Thanks!!”
This is so sweet! I agree, Tobi, you have a great fashion sense. My favorite would have to be your cropped top and ripped jeans in the first picture.

L.A.-based plus-size adult star April Flores must have also taken issue with the sizes of the clothes, and asked an American Apparel showroom rep if they’d ever make plus-size clothing. The representative replied, “That’s not our demographic.”
With a name like American Apparel, you’d hope they made clothes that could fit all Americans of all body types. But instead the brand that started off with mainly standard t-shirts and spandex leggings has expanded into a line of micro minis and dresses that reveal every nook and cranny. I’m good, I’ll pass.
What do you think?


Hey Guys!
Our Bombshell of the Day is Yani from Brooklyn:
She says, “I like to describe my style as “street meets chic” because I mix my Brooklyn style with popular trends. I don’t have a favorite store but I love to shop in Soho.”
“… I love accessories. Shoes are my addiction! I can’t live without shoes. As far as footwear, Steve Madden is definitely my favorite brand.”

Brooklyn stand up! Love your colorful shoe choices and your hair! Too cute.
