And now... Barack Obama sneakers
Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Celebrities with Style
When people start painting your face on shoes, you know you've reached a level of popularity that is both awesome and freakishly scary. We can't remember too many celebrities who've had the honor of being depicted on footwear. Oprah's face has never been on a shoe. Che Guevara? Jesus? It's pretty much just Michael Jordan and Obama.
If I were an aging, dorky, white presidential candidate -- I would certainly be worried about my chances. Maybe someone in the McCain camp should start hand-painting Sperry Top-Siders.

Nordstrom on Facebook, MySpace
Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style
In an attempt to grab a bigger piece of the younger trendier market, it looks like Nordstrom has decided to finally take part in the whole social networking thing. Over the last couple of weeks, Nordstrom has been quietly launching its first ventures into the worlds of Facebook and Myspace. Surprised? It's for their BP section, so it's probably a better idea than it sounds like at first. Their Myspace page is literally covered up in images of Pete Wentz and his hoodies -- just to give you an idea of what they're going for.
Karl Lagerfeld's new MySpace
Filed under: Celebrities with Style
MySpace addict? Now you can befriend notoriously aloof designer Karl Lagerfeld -- at least in that fake-ish, Internet kinda way. The fashion icon is on MySpace, in order to promote his upcoming film, Lagerfeld Confidential. You'll find video clips, photos, and a place to leave you "omg ure SUCH A GENIUS" comments -- but what's more interesting is that it appears Karl is keeping a private page, in addition to the one designated for the movie.
But is it really Karl, or just some intern crafting the style maven's online persona (or just a creepy super fan)? He's been said to have an "obsession with youth," but I still can't imagine the Karl Lagerfeld stooping so low as to communicate with the masses via MySpace bulletins. Regardless, the profile is set to private, so you'll have to friend request him to do any snooping around.
Ah, Karl -- you enigma.
MySpace users recruited to help fashion marketers
Filed under: Style in the News
I only recently made a MySpace profile, and I think I was the very last person on the planet to sign up. Everyone has one -- and it's practically required if you're young, hip and into fashion trends. That's why Alexander McQueen has launched a new marketing campaign with ads designed by young people the company hand-picked from MySpace.The design house found 35 kids (all under 21) based on the "flair and imagination they showed" on their MySpace profile. Then they invited all 35 to the McQ studio, where the kids were "given full access to the collection and asked to document their approach to creating an image video or instillation using the items they selected."
In the end, 8 ads were chosen, and are being used, unaltered, in the company's new campaign. Not only was this a fantastic idea for targeting the coveted 18-24 demographic, but the results are phenomenal -- I can't believe they were created almost entirely by teenagers.
Marc Jacobs Gets Social
Filed under: Style in the News
Remember the days when MySpace was only for child predators and people reuniting with old friends? Now it's chock full of porn stars, celebrities, and even politicians! (Do you expect me to believe that Obama is spending hours on Myspace?) Well MySpace now has a more fashionable notch on its belt... the ever fabulous Marc Jacobs. Now those burning questions can finally be answered like what music Marc listens to, his favorite show (it's South Park), and what kind of friends he has. Why the heck did Marc "sign up" for MySpace anyway? Well according to him-
"I saw that my boyfriend has a MYSPACE page so therefore I wanted one of my own..I live mostly in Paris working as creative director of Louis Vuitton & the other half of the year I'm work on my line Marc Jacobs. I keep very busy!!!!"
And is anyone else noticing that Marc got hot, the wonders of rehab I suppose.
