Lego Models Rock JC/DC's Runway Show - Plastic Fantastic

Filed under: Runway Trends, Videos



As we've seen with Lego's awesome anniversary edition celebrity figurines, many things in life (Amy Winehouse for instance) are way cooler in LEGO form. Well, apparently experimental French designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac took that idea and ran with it. He teamed up with France's 4-H and The Lego Group to debut his Spring/Summer collection on the virtual stage. We think it's possibly the most fascinating runway show we've ever seen.

Armani lets Katie Holmes play

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style, Kids and Babies

Who needs Project Runway when you've got money? Money trumps all, that's what I always see say. Case in point, the new label given to Katie Holmes, called Katie Holmes for Armani (so original), which marks the first time that such a high-fashion house will produce a line for a non-professional designer. Is that fierce?

The line is inspired by a Miss Suri Cruise and, according to a source, will feature "...things she (Katie) could imagine Suri wearing." Sounds like some expensive diapers.

Katie Holmes for Armani will start next spring with toddler clothes, then it will progress to clothes for older children, then handbags, and so forth and so on. Don't worry, it won't be staged in accordance to Suri's growth, there will be a women's collection in 2010. So far there is no word regarding athletic wear.
