Missoni Converse Collaboration Spring 2012

>> Spring footwear season has officially arrived. Over the weekend, Missoni released its new collaboration with Converse, adding its signature pattern to the shoe brand's classic Chuck Taylor sneaker.

The shoes come in three colorways: white, pale green, and navy blue. The green and white women's styles hint at the traditional Missoni chevron, while the blue unisex version features a haphazard woven effect. All three styles retail for $200, and will be sold in limited editions at Jeffrey, Fred Segal, and Aloha Rag — as well as on the Converse website.

This isn't the first time Missoni has partnered with Converse; the two brands worked on a line of colorful, striped high-tops last Spring. This year's offering, in the gallery.

Celebrity Style: Gisele Bundchen

It's Gisele's day today.

It's Gisele's day today. First she tops Forbes' list of top-earning models of 2008 and now she graces us with her stylish and slim self. I admit that I've been semibored with her mostly grey, monotonous outfits lately, but her latest cas(ual) airport look makes me happy. It's travel friendly but not yawn-worthy. She could have worn ballet flats to make the look more femme, but the fact that she chose Chuck Taylors is refreshing. Next time I take a trip, you better believe I'm busting out my Converse!
