Everyone is collaborating with everyone these days, and you know what? That's totally cool with us. Typically when a major retailer partners with a well-known designer to launch a capsule collection the results are affordable clothes that you actually want to wear or more scaled-down versions of a designers main (more expensive) line. Sadly, sometimes these types of collections sell out way too fast (we're looking at you Marni at H&M). But we're confident Anthropologie is gonna solve all of our collabo problemos with their new Made in Kind site. That's right, this collaboration is all about various designers partnering with that retail behemoth of party dress and home decor bacchanalia we all know and love for a project that will live on its very own website. Oh, and we're talking new designer lines by the likes of Karen Walker and Samantha Pleet, too. *SWOON*

If there's any designer who's slowly taking over every aspect of our fash-obsessed worlds it's Marc Jacobs. Not only does the man sell everything from thief-nabbing T-shirts and super cool 1940s military punk gear, he outfits the teensie toesies of one Blue Ivy Carter. And now, according to WWD, he's ready to take over our face regions too, with a new makeup line in collaboration with everyone's favorite beauty purveyor, Sephora.

'Gossip Girl' Fashion: Who Looked Best Last Night?

Posted 4/3/12 9:02 am EST by Andi Teran in TV Shows

Stop the presses (and/or The Spectator) because Gossip Girl is back! We've waited too long to live vicariously through Serena Van Der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and her gang of elites on the Upper East Side. Wait, scratch that. Upper East Side? We mean BROOKLYN. This latest episode finds Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus (Matthew Settle) living back at chez Humphrey as a result of being kicked out of their chic digs by one Ivy Dickens (Kaylee DeFer), who inherited the place from the now deceased grandmother CeCe (Caroline Lagerfelt). Serena's working overtime at Nate's (Chace Crawford) Spectator gossip news site trying to write the in-depth story of how Ivy stole her cousin Lola's (Ella Rae Peck) identity and her family's fortune. But does the real Gossip Girl make her an offer she can't refuse?

In Blair (Leighton Meester) Land, there's a whole lotta luvvin' NOT going on with new BF LonelyBoy, aka Dan (Penn Badgley). Are they better off just being friends or will an elevator solve their problems? And what about Chuck (Ed Westwick)? Seems Mr. Bass is trying to find out the real person who gave blood to save his life and it's not who he expected. Oh, and Serena's dad, William Van Der Woodsen (Billy Baldwin), is still on the scene, trying to manipulate Ivy and keep the secret of his I'm-your-dad identity from Lola, and we think something mayjah's gonna kick off where that's concerned. Did we mention there was also a party, a blood drive, and a bottle of vodka making a cameo appearance? If you haven't caught up yet, we won't spoil the rest for you. Check back here weekly for our fashion recap!

Taylor Swift had an amazing weekend. Aside from receiving the Big Help Award from First Lady Michelle Obama at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, she took home the Entertainer of the Year award at the Academy of Country Music Awards. Also, she did all of this while wearing glorious white dresses with gold accents. Sounds like your standard weekend with some designer duds, immaculate hair, and hobnobbing with the First Lady of the United States thrown in for good measure, huh? Seriously, though, we need to talk about these dresses because WHOA, there were two sides to this good-deed-doin' country music angel—sweet and edgy.

Celebs Wear Hoodies In Support Of Trayvon Martin

The shooting of Trayvon Martin has swept the country in the past few weeks, stirring a nationwide debate on the importance of an article of clothing, namely the hooded sweatshirt. Long a staple of leisurewear, workout wear, everyday wear, snuggle wear, cold weather wear, and just about every other kind of "wear" you can think of that involves covering your person, there has never been a reason to think twice about the meaning of a hoodie until the shooting of 17-year-old Martin (on his way home from a 7-Eleven with a bottle of tea and packet of Skittles in hand) by a neighborhood watchman who claims it was self-defense. Thousands have taken to the streets wearing hoodies to protest both the shooting and lack of arrest made on George Zimmerman, the man who shot Martin. Celebs have also been showing their support by tweeting and Instagramming photos of themselves wearing hoodies.

Diddy tweeted support for the Million Hoodies March by wearing a black hoodie and carrying a picture of Trayvon Martin as a young boy. Swizz Beatz Instagram'd a double image of himself in a hoodie, saying, "Had to Hoodie up for Trayvon, what a sad situation. Blessing to his fam." Odd Future's Frank Ocean Tumblr'd a photo of himself in a hoodie, and Ludacris Instagram'd an "I am Trayvon Martin" message with a photo of himself wearing a printed hoodie while standing in front of a plane. The outpouring of support for Martin and his family sheds light on the fact that a young person was killed, seemingly, as a result of what he looked like.

WHOA. According to the New York Post, the Queen of Pop, aka Madonna, was asked to tone down the new ad for her Truth or Dare by Madonna perfume, as it was deemed too racy for ABC network television. Clocking in at 30 seconds, the ad features Madge rolling around in black lingerie while the refrain "I know I shouldn't act this way/I know good girls don't misbehave/But I'm a bad girl," is repeated in the background juxtaposed with shots of the white and gold perfume bottle. Aside from licking her mega-rouged lips and briefly fondling the same cleavage and bum dimplage we've ALL seen again and again for decades, there's really, um, nothing to see here, folks. Thus, our question is this: What's the big deal, ABC?

Emerging from a giant pink space ship, Nicki Minaj descended onto the American Idol stage last night to perform her upcoming single "Starships" in cascading blonde curls, starfish earrings, and a rainbow bright mullet skirt. Conjuring an image of both an undersea confection and the actual Rainbow Brite cartoon character from the '80s. It was a mish-mash of themes that seemed to reference both space travel and a maniacal beach rave. Even though Nicki M's video has yet to make landfall (heh), we do know that it will include neon hair and a pink bikini thanks to numerous paparazzi shots of her writhing around the beaches of Hawaii.

If there's any pop star truly doing it ALL right now, it's Rihanna. There isn't a morning that goes by where she doesn't jump into our RSS feeds wearing something jaw-dropping all while buzzing around the planet making music, movies, and fashion happenings like it ain't no thang. Not only is she designing a fashion line, she's making her film debut in the upcoming sure-to-be-a-blockbuster Battleship. Oh, and did we mention that she's also doing a fashion reality show set in London? No wonder she's been spotted all over the damp gray streets of England's beloved city wearing a wardrobe of printacular madness. Seriously, though, what's with all these prints, Ri?

Our fashion prayers have been answered! Andre Leon Talley, aka contributing editor of American Vogue, former judge on America's Next Top Model, front row bon vivant, and general purveyor of all that is fash-witty and awesome, is getting his own Bravo show. Tentatively titled Fashion Stories of NYC, the show will center around Andre as a mentor to four up-and-coming fashion design teams who need that extra push to create, show, and sell their lines. Although it sounds like a familiar formula, we have high hopes that with ALT on board, it will be something else entirely.
