>> Ever wonder what populates the closets of streetstyle favorites like Teen Vogue fashion market editor Mary Kate Steinmiller or Harper's Bazaar senior fashion market editor Joanna Hillman? A few months ago, designer Erin Kleinberg and her friend Stephanie Mark, with photographer Jake Rosenberg in tow, started documenting just that — fashion insiders' handbags, shoes, jewelry, and clothes, shot in their apartments — complete with personal anecdotes about what each item signifies and where it comes from, for their newly launched site, TheCoveted.com. Already up for the viewing are Steinmiller (above and below), Hillman, and Theory and Helmut Lang communications & celebrity director, Mona Sharf, with more fashion editor, publicist, stylist, model, and blogger subjects promised soon. In fact, they're shooting with Net-a-Porter US editor Tracy Taylor right now. [The Coveted]
Canadian designer Erin Kleinberg is a smart girl. Instead of featuring the per usual model for her Spring '10 look book, she swooped up socialite Vanessa Traina.

What girl wouldn't want to don herself in her array of super soft cottons and jersey knits, which by the way, are also eco-friendly. Sweet.
