Anna Sui for Target - It's Like She Read Our Minds

Are you ready for some really exciting news? Anna Sui is coming out with a line for Target! She's only the second designer (following Alexander McQueen) to participate in the chain's Designer Collaboration series. Up-and-comers, including Thakoon and Jovovich-Hawk, have all been part of the separate GO International.

Anna Sui has long been one of our favorite designers. We love her boho meets rocker style and have covered everything from her runway trends to the hair and makeup backstage!

According to New York Magazine, the new line for Tar-Jay was inspired by "Gossip Girl" -- so even those without trust funds can dress like Constance girls. From Women's Wear Daily:

"I have always been a fan of designer partnerships with mass retailers," Sui told WWD exclusively. "I think it is a great way to bring fashion to everyone. I love Go International and was intrigued with Target's new take on designer partnerships. It's a fresh approach. I was able to select a muse or source of creative inspiration to focus the collection around. It is an exciting challenge to try and interpret my aesthetic into a mass-produced product with a specific inspirational source as the focus."

How cool is this? Barneys New York collected denim all last summer and teamed up with eBay to create one of the most fabulous and eco-chic auctions ever conceived -- Project Blue!

The exclusive department store gave the recycled denim to an elite selection of designers who created the above masterpieces, currently on display in the store's highly coveted window (that's prime real estate in NYC). The one-of-a-kind fashions are by the following designers, from left to right, Alexander Wang, Ann Demeulemeester, Rodarte, Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney, Versace and Derek Lam. As of today, each item is available on eBay for a starting bid of 99 cents.

The proceeds from this earthtastic auction will benefit Oceana, an international nonprofit which focuses on ocean conservation. What better excuse do you need to dive into shopping mode?

Click here to start bidding on Project Blue items. We wish you and the oceans of the world the very best!

Top Designers Get Crafty for Charity

Filed under: Daily Obsession


Last night Dita von Teese and Debi Mazar co-hosted a fete for the Los Angeles boutique The Way We Wore in honor of the Earth Day-conscious "Out of the Ordinary" collection of reworked vintage garments. Designers such as Magda Berliner, Jeremy Scott (check out the before and after pics of his creation above!), and Current/Elliot participated in the initiative in which recycled clothing and jewelry were transformed into modern pieces. If you're not living on the West Coast, don't fret, the items are available to bid on through May 2nd on eBay. Proving that not all fashion is frivolous, the proceeds of the sale will benefit carbon footprint reducing organizations such as Future Fashion and Earthpledge.

A Leave-In Conditioner That Really Works!

Filed under: Hair Care, Daily Obsession

Leave-in conditioners are one of those products that you want to work well, but rarely do. They're either not strong enough and leave your hair frizzy, or worse, make it look dirty and oily -- even on the day you wash it. We (finally!) found one that makes our hair shiny without weighing it down. It's a winner!
