Debbie Phelps signs deal with Chico's

In a triumph for lovers of bright patterns and matching jewelry, Debbie Phelps, mother of Olympic Champion Michael Phelps, middle school vice principal and expert accessorizer, now has her own six-figure deal with the Chico's clothing chain.

As part of the deal she will appear in their marketing materials, including the catalog and probably the website. She will also be dressed by Chico's for appearances. Watch for her on Oprah!

The Chico's fashion philosophy is a bit flowing and embellished for some. As you can see in the Debbie Phelps Collection (that we posted about last week), which highlights some of Debbie's looks from the Olympics, every print can benefit from a belt, and statements earrings are always paired with matching chunky necklaces.

Debbie Phelps--mother of swimming phenom Michael--got more airtime during these Olympic games than most of the athletes. But while her adorable reactions to her son's gold-medal wins made for good TV, she's not exactly someone most of us would consider a style icon. "Most of us," however, does not include Chico's, purveyor of pantsuits.

The Chico's higher-ups heard that Phelps, a school principal, had stocked up on some of their brightly-colored separates before jetting off to Beijing. (Including the "Travelers Rouge Geo Print Jacket" she's wearing in this picture.) So the company created a special section called The Debbie Phelps Collection on their site to feature her favorites.

As WWD reports, "Chico's does not have a formal agreement with her, but talks are under way with her management team about potential collaborations." Our advice to Debbie Phelps: if you already have your own management team, why not add a stylist to the payroll?

Opening Ceremony's Olympic activities still rage on

While the most of us have been glued to the TV for the last couple of weeks watching some the world's best athletes compete at the Beijing Olympics, there's another group of people competing in a very fierce retail competition stateside.

In honor of the summer Olympics, Opening Ceremony released a limited-edition run of metallic gold and silver Air Max 1 and the Nike LunaRacer. They also threw a really big party, too, and even had jewelry designer Philip Crangi host a ping pong match in their store.

Luckily, the good people at Style.com went and documented all of the madness for those who are more into Micheal Phelps instead of Marc Jacobs right now. In this clip, watch as a slew of guests breakdown their funky outfits, amongst other things.

Olympic hotties

There's no doubt that much of the advertising shown during the Olympic games targets women -- have you noticed all the commercials for osteoporosis meds, baby products, and women's razors? And there's reason -- research has shown that women tune in to the Olympics for many reasons. They enjoy the "occasion," and all the pomp and circumstance; they appreciate the dedication and commitment the athletes have to their sports; plus, it's great family programming.

However, we think many women have another reason for tuning it -- the male athletes.

Lebron and Gisele: Take two

Filed under: Style in the News

Last week, we reported that NBA star Lebron James and supermodel Gisele Bundchen would be on the April cover of Vogue for the annual "shape issue."

Well, the cover is out and I'm indifferent. The concept of model and athlete is great, but the execution could have been a little better. You know, slightly less Tarzan meets Jane.

Anyways, the other athlete and model pairings in this issue include: swimmer Michael Phelps with Caroline Trentini, snowboarder Shaun White with Daria Werbowy, speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno with Doutzen Kroes; and discus thrower Jared Rome with Raquel Zimmermann.

Style.com just added this behind-the-scenes video featuring the two cover stars posing for Annie Leibovitz in the studio as well as Apolo Anton Ohno taking Doutzen Kroes for a lap around the ice.
