I recently stumbled upon a few images of Comme des Garcons’ impending line for H&M. I have a love/hate relationship with what I’ve seen so far.
First love:
I adore classics with a twist, and these pieces would fit seamlessly into any wardrobe while maintaining a fashion forward look. And you know with Comme des Garcons you’ll have interesting pockets, pleating and details (check out the jacket on the bottom right!).
Hate:
This seems very ‘Gap’, no? Just…not interesting.
I wonder when they’ll be unleashing the furor over here in Paris. Oooh, will Parisian women be half as blood thirsty as New Yorkers?
I’ll have to see…
Bisous!

Diddy graces the cover of the October Issue of L’Uomo Vogue:
First the all Black Italian Vogue, now an American Style Czar on the Men’s Issue. Gotta give it to the Italians for taking risks and being ahead of the fashion curve.

Bossip has hot pics of the Williams sister rocking couture on the court for Harper’s Bazaar:
A few action shots:
Beautiful!
Has Harper’s Bazaar suddenly become a dope magazine? With the Tyra cover (and the spread featuring her as Michelle Obama) and now the Williams sisters? Hats off to them for embracing diversity without a rigorous letter writing campaign.

Ladies who love fashion popped into Catherine Malandrino’s store opening in Los Angeles:
Keisha Whitaker represented in a draped black number, while Mary J donned a signature fur jacket, pencil skirt, and lace up black pumps. I’m looking for a new ‘pump’ look and am totally coveting Mary’s steeze!
Also loving Sanaa’s open toe shoe boots paired with a simple celery flowing dress, and Garcelle Beauvais Nilon ‘s comfy black maxi dress with colorful neck details.
Whose look do you love?

After our piece on classic stylish album covers last week, we asked you all to send in your suggestions. Here’s what you gave us!

Fashion Bomber Erica, who sent in the Grace Jones Island Life cover, adds, “The cover definitely was something that was never seen before. Holding such a statuesque posture and her glowing skin…beautiful! She took fashion to a whole new level and most of all she didn’t follow anyone which makes her so original and oh so amazing!” I couldn’t have put it better!

After selling one million units of its first phone, Prada has teamed with LG to create a hot black slide phone with a hidden keyboard:
If absolutely everything in your cipher must be uber fashionable, then this phone is your perfect piece. For $817 you’ll spend a pretty penny, but can you put a price on fashion? [WWD]
