There’s a new judge in town, and his name is Andre Leon Talley.  Yes, ALT is now a  judge on America’s Next Top Model.  The Vogue Editor-at-Large will take his seat next to Tyra Banks for the 14th cycle of the reality show.  We will meet the new panel member at the season premiere on March 10th.  People will tune-in the see him, and we doubt anyone will be disappointed.  All good things come at a cost though, he replaces Miss J. Alexander.  Miss J. has given us 13 seasons of hilarity, and Andre Leon Talley has signed on to give us at least three more fun filled and cultured seasons.  We will be watching on March 10th, and of course, we will be appropriately attired.

London Fashion Week embraces the Internet for its fall 2010 runway shows, and will be streaming live.  The trend towards social media has been building within the fashion industry.  You could say Burberry has been among the leaders of this revolution, last season the design house granted live online access to its runway show.  More design houses are following this trend, and it is democratizing fashion.  Fashion is bypassing the middle-man and is now going straight to the consumer.  The design houses are essentially speaking directly to the end buyers of their merchandise.  It will be interesting to see how designers will adjust their presentation to include this new audience.  Be sure to tune in from February 19th to 24th to see Burberry Prorsum, Matthew Williamson, Sass & Bide, Pringle of Scotland, Vivienne Westwood and many more online.

Alice is the new diffusion line we have been anticipating from Temperley London.  You will be seeing a lot of stripes on shorts, blazers and dresses.  Many of the pieces are perfect for the warmer weather, and they include a great trench that will come in handy during those April showers.  The spring 2010 collection will be available in stores in early February  and online at www.alicebytemperley.com.  Temperley’s lower-priced line will range from $93 to $ 710.  It’s definitely easier on the pocketbook than the ready-to-wear line.  Alice is also a younger alternative to the original.  The line will be sold at Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Net-a-Porter.

Alexa Chung’s Fashion Takeover

Alexa Chungalexachung2

Alexa Chung is in the process of a fashion takeover.  It appears that the cancelation of her MTV show has not slowed down the former model.  Mulberry has since honored her with a handbag named Alexa.  She has even inked a deal to collaborate with Madewell, a store owned by J. Crew.  Who knew she was also a designer?  It goes to show that great style is always marketable.  So we have named the designer and handbag icon to our Rollcall list.  We want to know what else she has in store for the rest of 2010, and we will be watching.

Model and actress Molly Sims is dazzling us with her spring collection of Grayce by Molly Sims.  The jewelry line is now available online at HSN.  Her collection is complete with rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings.  It is a mix of modern and vintage inspired pieces that are beautiful and graceful, much as the name indicates.  The shapes and textures of the jewelry provide the visual interest that makes many of the pieces memorable, I’m partial to the geometric shapes.  Don’t hesitate to stock up because the items are priced between $29.95 and $119.95.  Here’s to a sparkling and fashionable spring with Grayce by Molly Sims.
