Liam Gallagher performs on an Italian TV show

Liam Gallagher, you remember that guy right? The lead singer for 90's Brit pop super-group Oasis? Anyway, the telegraph is reporting that Gallagher will own and design his own "up-front, straight-talking, classical clothing range" called Pretty Green (named after a song by The Jam). Says Gallagher, "I'm not here to rip anyone off and I'm not doing it for the money either. I'm doing it cuz [sic] there's a lack of stuff out there of the things I would wear."

MIA launches clothing line

Email thisPosted Sep 18th 2008 at 5:02PM by Lindsay Miller

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look

We told you in May that indie songstress MIA was launching her own clothing line. Now, we have the visual evidence.

Referencing African and Southwestern prints, Tribe Called Quest videos, and early 90s neon and spandex, these are not clothes for the faint of heart...or the broke.

T-shirts, emblazoned with MIA's face, run $75, leggings are $85, and hoodie sweatshirts run $180. So what can you get for 10 dolla? Looks like absolutely nothing.

Random sexy italian lingerie: Parah Noir

While looking for something else, we stumbled upon this fabulously Italian lingerie line, Parah Noir, and their sexy Milan fashion show. From what we can gather through Google translation of an Italian fashion blog, it's a legendary corset line that was big in the 90s, and they're making a comeback.

Two of the models were were sexy Italian film "stars" Linda Santaguida and Costantino Vitagliano. Apparently they're a couple, and love each other a lot based on these steamy pool photos.

At first we thought it wasn't a terribly practical line, but once we saw the picture of models wearing the velvety, bondage bras standing at the buffet table, it made a strange sort of "only in Italy" sense.

Experience the Fellini-like event in the gallery.

On the scene: Just in case you didn't believe the 90s were back...

-Alicia Douval, some British "model" famous for getting it on with celebrities and then telling the tabloids, is really proud of her 12-year-old daughter. Not because the tween made her junior high soccer team, scored an A in algebra, or got a bunch of Girl Scout brownie points -- but because she wants a "boob job" (so she can be famous like Britney Spears!). While she admires her daughter's enthusiasm, Alicia thinks it's best to wait until she's older. You know, like 16. [Sun]

Styles that Stick: Lovely long locks

Email thisPosted Aug 13th 2007 at 5:58PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Vintage and Retro, Hair Care

We've come a long way from the boring days of yore, when women had universally long hair, and men kept their coiffures short and neat -- no exceptions. However, even though it's occasionally trendy for women to go short and spiky -- or even bald -- nothing says elegance like a long, shiny locks.

The reasons behind our long-hair lust may go beyond the resurgence of vintage chic or our infatuation with Herbal Essence advertisements. Some anthropologists think that it's based on an innate human desire to select healthy sexual partners -- meaning that, because long hair is an indicator of good health, we find it attractive.

Maybe this is why men are so quick to adopt the fashion whenever it becomes popular -- from the hippies of the 1960s, to grunge fans of the 90s, to today's 90s-inspired hipster types, whose shaggy styles will only get longer as they become more infatuated with Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder.

That said -- it's possible that the woman pictured above is taking the idea just a little too far. Her hair measures 2 meters and 42 centimeters (almost 8 feet), and she hasn't had it cut in over 15 years. If you think you're up for the challenge, keep in mind that it's a serious investment -- to grow your hair down to your waist will take about 7 years.

On the other hand, there's always extensions.

Wide leg pants -- coming back or not?

Email thisPosted Jul 12th 2007 at 9:16AM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Clothing, Jeans

So, if the 90s are back (and, by all accounts, they are) -- why aren't we seeing the wide-leg pants I remember from junior high?

Some are trying really hard to bring them back -- Gap, for instance, has a number of ultra wide-leg options for fall. Plus, a couple different influential bloggers have championed the move -- noting that everyone can look good in wide-legs, while wearing skinny jeans meant you had to be...well...skinny.

On the other hand, our very own Lauren thinks the new, more colorful skinny jeans will be all the rage or the next couple seasons, and FashionIndie thinks wide-legs make you look like a "90s reject."

So what gives? Personally, I'd love it if wide-legs came back. We can't stop the 90s from coming, and anything is better than those stupid high-waisted "mom jeans" designers keep trying to shove down our throats.

But what do you think?

Men's clothing at Target no longer lame

Email thisPosted Jun 21st 2007 at 11:24AM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Stores We Love, Clothing, Men

It's hard for men to find fashionable clothes that don't cost a fortune. We can either spend $40 on a t-shirt from our local vintage boutique, or suck it up and wear something lame from TJ Maxx.

Women, on the other hand, can just go to Target. Sure, everything they sell is a designer rip-off, and it's not like the clothes are Wal-Mart cheap, but their stuff is cute, trendy, and way less than other rip-off outlets (like Urban Outfitters, for instance).

Unfortunately, men's clothing at Target has always sucked. They didn't do a very good job mimicking their designs, or they copied Old Navy's collection (which was stupid-looking in the first place).

However, things may have changed. Over the weekend I discovered that Target's summer collection for men is actually very cool. They're selling these plaid shorts for $21.99, which I've seen all over town since it started getting hot back in April (and priced at around $70 in local boutiques), and these Judo-cut shorts for $19.99. A) guys in shorts is all the rage, B) plaid has been very in ever since the 90s started coming back, and C) I've been dying to try out long shorts (the Judo-cut), in an homage to my skateboarding brethren circa 1997 -- now I can!

So dudes -- while I never could've imagined that I'd be saying this -- if you want to look cool this summer without spending all your money on a new wardrobe, head to Target.

Welcome back, fanny pack

Email thisPosted May 14th 2007 at 10:28AM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Style in the News

It's so easy to make fun of fanny packs. They look dumb, they have a silly name -- there's even a whole Ben Folds "rap" song dedicated to Those of Y'all Who Wear Fanny Packs, which isn't exactly flattering. Normally the only place you'd see such an unfortunate garment is on the waists of unfashionable travelers in family movies from the 90s (people who also wear visors, Hawaiian shirts, etc).

But according to the NY Times, the "waist pack" might be coming back, thanks to some work by high-profile, well-respected designers.

One of those designers, Alice Roi, thinks bags should go "hands free" like technology. Jordan Betten, thinks that they're only cheesy when made from cheap leather.

Maybe. I understand that they're functional, and I've seen a few hipsters trying to pull them off (as the 90s continue to come back with a vengeance), but no matter what they're made out of, I still think they look about as cool as pocket protectors, or any other purely functional clothing item.

Cassette tape wallets, because we all miss the 90s sometimes

Email thisPosted Apr 27th 2007 at 4:47PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories

There's something that just isn't quite the same about making your friend a mix-CD, or a playlist on the computer. I miss cassette tapes. It's the only way you can force the listener to sit through the entire musical "experience" you've created, rather than letting them skip past the 10-minute, spacey jam track you thought would be bitchin' at the end of side 1.

If you feel the same way, never fear -- we can all bask in a little nostalgia together with the cassette wallet.

Basically, it's a tape with the guts taken out, and replaced by zippered pouches for all your cards, cash, etc. As an added bonus, because each wallet is hand-made, you can pick which tape you want your wallet made from -- so you don't end up looking like geek with all your money in a Barry Manilow cassette.

It's $43, which seems a little pricey, but these are way cooler than some generic leather wallet. I say go for it.
