Proving just what a wardrobe staple is worth, Miranda Kerr styles up two totally different takes on a simple white tee. First, we spotted the model mom out and about at Paris Fashion Week giving her t-shirt a cool-girl spin. With a slick leather miniskirt, chain strap bag, and sky-high black pumps, we're taking cues from this effortless mix for our next big night out. To supply further inspiration, this time for our casual Fall day looks, Miranda's second take on the same tee is spot on. We love the addition of classic layers like a denim button-down, straight-leg jeans, and a camel blazer to take the shirt right into cooler weather. Either take is worthy of replication, and, incidentally, a cinch to re-create. Just shop our editors' picks to channel both of Miranda's style-savvy ways to rock your white tee.
>> Steve Madden, after inking a deal for the exclusive North American license of Italian sneaker brand Superga, has tapped Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as creative directors.
Madden, who worked with the Olsens on launching their shoe line for Elizabeth and James, says that it was the Olsens who first approached him about doing something with Superga: “We do a lot of business with Mary-Kate and Ashley. They’ve become friends."
Ashley Olsen adds: “We were at a meeting with Steve, and we were wearing Supergas — two years later, it kind of fell into our lap. I really don’t think there’s anything like this brand. It’s a tennis-shoe brand with 100 years under its belt.”
The Olsens will launch an upscale Superga sneaker collection co-branded with The Row for Spring 2012, and will develop all creative and marketing initiatives for the brand, in addition to overseeing retail lines of distribution. “At first, Superga just needs to start off in the right stores and be on the right people’s feet,” said Ashley Olsen. “We look at a million opportunities a day; it’s very personal for us.”
We're loving the classic look of Glee cutie Jayma Mays's sexy button-down and denim combo. It's polished, thanks to her silky white Ann Taylor blouse tucked into the high-rise J Brand jeans, but it definitely harkens to that sexy '70s feel. Jayma plays up the retro vibe with suede wedges and a coordinating taupe clutch. After the same easy sophistication? Get the look when you shop our editor's picks.
