The Limited's Making a Comeback!

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Remember The Limited? I actually used to work there when I was in high school. It was one of my favorite stores back in the day, but sorta disappeared in the late '90s. The brand - under new ownership - is making a major comeback with a new look, new collaborations, and new stores. For starters, The Limited opened up a pop-up store in NYC, Oct. 14-17, so shoppers can reacquaint themselves with its name. '80s labels Forenza and Outback Red also relaunched their partnership with the brand. "Forenza can give us an anchor for that younger sensibility,” said Linda Heasley, CEO of The Limited. Mint designer Jodi Arnold has also inked a deal with the brand for an exclusive collab slated to launch in March featuring embellished rompers, pants, shorts, and tops. Sounds promising!

Intermix is usually all about designer clothes, but this holiday season, it's bringing art into the (Inter)mix. The snazzy retailer has partnered with Art Production Fund to create limited-edition printed canvas reproductions of artist Richard Phillips's original work. So cool: these pieces originally served as props in the Van der Woodsen loft on Gossip Girl. Get your art on at Intermixonline.com starting next week.

Jason Wu Takes on Tse

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:04:40 -0800

There's more reason to love Wu now that the designer has taken on a new project: designing a capsule collection for Tse. “When she [Tse's CEO, Christina Peng-Gerschultz] asked me if I wanted to do a capsule [line], I thought, ‘This could be interesting,’” said Wu. “In many ways, I am probably the least expected designer to do this, because Tse’s aesthetic is so different from my own, but that’s one reason I wanted to do it.”

The collection will be comprised of woven and knitwear pieces dipped in colorful hues. Tse, who currently works with Wu on producing his knitwear pieces, will debut the Fall '10 limited-edition capsule collection in February during New York Fashion Week. Prices are TBD, but we do know the line will hit Tse stores in July.

The Demise of Luella Bartley

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:48:01 -0800

After showing a magical Spring '10 collection at Paris Fashion Week, it's shocking to hear that Luella has ceased all operations. The brand's licensee, Club 21, just announced it has "taken the decision not to invest further in its relationship with Luella Bartley Limited."

Furthermore, the production of Luella's Spring '10 collection has been put to a stop since its ready-to-wear producer, Carla Carini, had to shutter its doors unexpectedly.

"This is a very disappointing situation for everyone involved with the brand," said Bartley. "I love the Luella character and hope that after we have survived this challenging time the Luella girl can have an exciting future ahead of her, whichever incarnation she takes on next. We have a number of options open to us, and are considering these over the coming months." Tear.

Ready-to-Wear Designers Delve Into Jewelry

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:30:22 -0800

It's raining baubles: Thakoon, Alice + Olivia, and Milly have announced expansions into jewelry.

Thakoon Panichgul has been swooped up by Japanese fine jewelry brand, Tasaki, to serve as its creative director. “My goal is to approach jewelry design in the same manner that I approach clothing: always move forward but respect the past,” said Panichgul.

Alice + Olivia received some help from jewelry extraordinaire, Karen Erickson, to design a limited-edition jewelry collection set to debut in Spring. The line, ranging from $278 to $393, is funky and modern - check out this rad leather floral bangle.

Milly designer, Michelle Smith, took inspiration from her Spring line to create Lucite necklaces, gold-plated bracelets, and colorful enamel cuffs. “From the time I was a girl, I was always into vintage jewelry. It is a passion of mine, so I thought it would be a great addition to the Milly collection,” said Smith. Her collection retails from $75 to $325, and will also launch in Spring. Bring on the bling!

Look of the Day: Going Dotty

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 04:00:22 -0800

At first glance, luvpizaman might appear to be going dotty on us, but after closer examination, it's clear she's not. Mixing dots and pinstripes takes a serious eye for pattern placement. Good eye.

Here's what she has on:

Shirt: The Limited
Tank: INC
Skirt: The Limited
Shoes: Nine West

Congrats to luvpizaman!
