Matthew Williamson at H&M - Bright and Bold the Second Time Around

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style

It's a hot pink, canary yellow and acid green Fashion Alert for a budget-conscious Style Kings (and all you Queens, too)! The highly anticipated second wave of Matthew Williamson's high-low collaboration with H&M arrives in stores on May 14th -- as in tomorrow.

The collection is filled with vivid colors and patterns that are perfect for hot summer days and sultry nights. In addition to his drama-filled women's line, Williamson has also created his first menswear line. And it's not for faint-hearted boys! We weren't kidding about the hot pink (pants) or acid green (shorts). But if you have the nerve to wear them, and you get there early enough to actually score a pair, you (or your man) will be the hippest dude strutting the streets!

As we told you back in March, Wiliamson is thrilled that this collaboration makes his vision accessible to a wider audience. As much as he loves having his fashions grace the lithe -- and rich -- forms of Lindsay, Nicole and Eva Longoria, he says, "I want to share a glimpse of the Matthew Williamson world with H&M customers, by creating an aspirational lifestyle collection which is both exotic and fashion forward."

And if past experience is any indication, that entire aspirational audience will be lined up three deep by 6 a.m. on Thursday morning. So if you want in on the fabulous, grab a sleeping bag, rush your fine self over there and get in line!

Cameron Diaz in Michael Kors - I Want That!

Filed under: Get the Look



Staying true to her sporty spirit, Cameron Diaz looks head to toe adorable in this stripped dress at the 2009 Film Independent Spirit Awards. Not to mention she's right on trend. Stars, stripes and good, old red, white, and blue will be summer staples this year. Maybe it's because of the refreshing American pride our new President is instilling in us or maybe it's just because that's the way the fashion cookie crumbles. Regardless, this easy summer dress will be one of our summer goes to's paired with wedges for a BBQ, black heels for a hot date, and flats for all those summer baby and bridal showers we've been suckered into.

As mom-to-be for the second time around, Nicole Richie looked completely cute in this red double breasted peacoat at the Proenza Schouler show during New York Fashion Week. Nicole has noted before that a tunic, opaque tights, and big, black shoes have been her go-to look all season long. But instead of sticking with only bland black, she lets her bright personality shine with a great pop of color.

Racy Relish Ads Cause Controversy in Rio - Fashion Police Brutality

Filed under: Style in the News

The Relish ad featuring Rio de Janeiro cops molesting womenThe latest fashion ads causing an uproar don't come from the likes of Tom Ford. Rather, these perverted dandies come from a small Italian fashion label named Relish, and they're so offensive that even the mayor of Rio de Janeiro is asking that the billboards be taken down. Of course, part of the reason Mayor Eduardo Paes is upset could be the fact that the ads feature men dressed as Rio cops. The other part is, of course, the fact that the cops are molesting women.

Debra Davenport's Spring 2009 collection at Los Angeles Fashion Week

Filed under: Fashion Week

Debra Davenport's Spring 2009 collection, shown during L.A. Fashion Week, was exceedingly wearable. It was also a bit scattered. Davenport took cues from Cynthia Rowley and Nanette Lepore, featuring floral, citrus and vibrant green fabrics. But the through line was lost somewhere between 1950s Euro chic and lady pirate.

Keeping your closet moth-free

Filed under: Clothing

When the seasons change, so does our wardrobe. And, unless you have a much bigger closet than we do, that means certain items get brought out while others get packed away for the next few months.

While some of those items might be easily folded up and put into Rubbermaid bins, but other items have more specific requirements. The formal gown you wore for your best friend's wedding, your silky summer dresses, the flowery pashmina you pulled out for those cool summer nights ... for some, the list goes on and on.
