Three New Ecommerce Sites to Get Excited About!

From Marc Jacobs to Maison Martin Margiela to a super cool local San Francisco boutique called Shotwell, there are three new ecommerce sites for your different shopping needs.

From Marc Jacobs to Maison Martin Margiela to a super cool local San Francisco boutique called Shotwell, there are three new ecommerce sites for your different shopping needs. First up, Marc has launched a brand-new, interactive store that feels like you just walked into a Marc Jacobs boutique. "It's going back to the roots of the Marc Jacobs brand, which is to be fun, entertaining, engaging and cool," said James Gardner, founder of Createthe Group. It doesn't carry every single item that's in store, but it has selections from Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Little Marc Jacobs, and some adorable special items.

For the avant-garde gal, Maison Martin Margiela is finally opening up an eboutique starting Oct. 1. The site will be an X-ray version of the original website and will carry his Fall collections and a limited-edition interpretation of the "5 zips" leather biker jacket.

Jessica Alba showed off her slick street style in NYC wearing a modest-length chambray skirt and gray tank. Simple on their own, but Alba turned the fashion factor way up with hardcore accessories. Spiked stacked bracelets, a vintage necklace, cage wedges, a black oversized suede hobo, and sunnies add a majorly fresh touch to her casual cool look.

Fragrance

Maison Martin Margiela's First Fragrance Fittingly (Untitled)

Although Margiela left his Maison last December, he apparently had been personally involved with every aspect of creating the house's first fragrance—from the juice itself, to the bottle and upcoming advertising campaign.

Although Margiela left his Maison last December, he apparently had been personally involved with every aspect of creating the house's first fragrance—from the juice itself, to the bottle and upcoming advertising campaign.

The fragrance, a "woody green floral" with notes of incense, bitter orange, jasmine, and cedar, is held in a Baron & Baron co-designed green-tinted bottle which appropriately has the effect of being dipped in white paint. Paris' Collette will have the first batch on January 25, and those of you in the U.S. will have to wait until it hits Margiela stores in March.

We're guessing there's also a hint of patchouli oil in there somewhere, as Margiela's models were often doused with the stuff before hitting the runway.
