Commence screaming, y'all. Madonna is bringing back THE Jean Paul Gaultier to design costumes for her upcoming MNDA tour, according to Grazia Daily. *starts sobbing uncontrollably* We are so excited for this because he created some of her most iconic performance outfits to date. See: The legendary cone bra above from her Blond Ambition tour in 1990. The tour kicks off May 29—a mere month away—and will feature at least one (if not all!) costumes by JPG, but no details have been revealed yet. This could not have come at a better time in their careers—the nearly (as in, two weeks!) 60-year-old designer is taking over the advertising world since becoming the creative director at Diet Coke, and his iconic Madonna tour outfits are even featured on the latest bottles! How could we not see this coming? Madge is also bigger than ever with the release of her Truth or Dare fragrance—just yesterday her arrival at Macy's alone put her fans into a frenzy. We hope that the reuniting of these two fash gods will bring just as much fun and fearlessness as before. Only time will tell!

Should Jay-Z's Rocawear Partner With The New York Yankees?

As if the man doesn't already have his hands full raising American music's little princess, Blue Ivy Carter, Jay-Z has just announced that his revitalized Rocawear brand is partnering with the New York Yankees. Rocawear will have branded signage featured prominently in Yankee Stadium as part of an integrated promotional campaign rolling out this year. The news couldn't be coming at a more opportune time, at the top of the 2012 baseball season, and knowing that Jay "made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can" (à la "Empire State of Mind") it seems like a natural fit. Key word: seems. Leave it to us mouth-breathing keyboard tappers to be forever skeptics, but we just can't shake the feeling that this Yankees deal might not quite fit in line with Hov's Brooklyn-centric personal branding let alone that of the reinvigorated Rocawear.

Listen, we love food ALMOST as much as we love fashion, so when we were asked to attend the Alice + Olivia/Magnum Ice Cream luncheon, it was a no-brainer. Two words: Ice. Cream. We dined in the sumptuous (a word we never use so it totally must be true) Loft & Garden on Fifth Avenue to celebrate the exciting news that A + O founder Stacey Bendet was teaming up with the gourmet brand to create a miniskirt inspired by the new Magnum Mini ice cream bars. Awwww! How cute is that? If you're not already familiar, Magnum is the exquisitist (that's totally a word) dessert brand to grace the fashion world as of late—Karl Lagerfeld directed one of their campaigns starring Rachel Bilson just last year. Sweet! Stacey will debut the skirt during New York Fashion Week this fall with the rest of her Spring 2013 presentation, but we wanted to know more! Luckily, we got the chance to catch up with the oh-so-cute designer and get all the deets.

Stop the fashion presses because the tumultuous wait is finally over! The New York Times is reporting that Dior has tapped former Jil Sander creative director Raf Simons to take the place of John Galliano at the helm of the house. Are you experiencing deja vu like we are right now? Not to worry, this is to be expected since the wait has been, oooohhhh, like a gazillion years and this whole "Who's gonna take over at Dior?" brouhaha has involved so much speculation and wishy-washiness (like that time when Marc Jacobs was thought to be the top choice or that other time when Fashionista April Fooled us into thinking it would be Kanye) that we almost gave up hope that anyone would ever be named. But this time it's for realsies, and from that photo above you can also tell that this dude is all about SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Anthropologie Debuts New Made In Kind Designer Collaboration Website

Posted 4/4/12 9:00 am EST by Andi Teran in Designers, Shopping

Anthropologie to release 11 collaborations with Made In Kind.

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.

Ever since we found out that Sally Hansen and Prabal Gurung were teaming up for a nail sticker collab, we've been in a total daze. We know we'll never be able to afford anything from Prabal's KILLER spring 2012 collection (sadface times a million), but now we can at least wear his runway creations on our fingertips! The New York-based designer created two purple-y hued prints based off his NYFW collection, which are perfect for spring. All of the looks from Prabal's line were inspired by Japanese artist Nobuyoshi Araki, and he transitioned the edgy-meets-girly vibe from his womenswear collection into nail art seamlessly. The first design is a marbled black, lavender and pink floral print, which is perfect if you're not too into the whole sporting-flowers-on-your-nails thing but still want a touch of springy fun. The other design features violet Morning Glories sketched on a white background for a fresh new take on the floral trend. If you're having a hard time deciding on which design to buy, we TOTALLY support buying both packs and alternating the patterns on each finger. What? If you're going to do nail art, at least go all out!

Here at MTV Style, we pride ourselves on dropping knowledge about all the hottest designer collaborations to hit the wires from Versace x H&M to Jeremy Scott x Adidas. Today, we're giving you something a little different, but MAY-JOR nonetheless. April is National STD Awareness Month, so what better time than now to talk about Proper Attire's designer condom collections? So far Vena Cava, Keith Haring, Mara Hoffman, Charlotte Ronson, and many more designers have joined forces with Proper Attire for sets of condoms (in a variety of styles from basic to sheer to ribbed to XL), protecting users from increased risk of STD transmission AND benefitting the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Alexander Wang Designs Custom Shoes And Dress For Azealia Banks

To put it gently, our hearts exploded when we peeped Azealia Banks' Facebook status last night. It read: "Sooo.... Alexander Wang is making me a custom made dress AND custom made shoes?!?! *melts into mysterious blue liquid* *ooozes across floor*" Then, she followed up with a photo of the shoes (above) on Instagram, and we fuh-reaked out. Cutout black stacked heels in patent leather, lambskin, AND snakeskin? Dead. There's still no photo evidence of the dress (yet), but we're guessing it's something asymmetrical, black, and all-out amazing. I mean, I guess we shouldn't be TOO surprised the rapper is getting killer custom freebies considering she's become a serious fashion staple as of late. She just released a new track at a Chanel pop-up shop shindig in Tokyo, performed at Kanye West's Paris Fashion Week afterparty, and was the music behind the Mugler men's fall 2012 show. Also, remember that time she performed at Karl Lagerfeld's house? Yeahhhhh. We couldn't be more happy for Azealia, though, and we're super stoked that she has such a heavy influence on the fashion world. We LOVE seeing designers get inspired by some of our favorite musicians, and we can't wait to see what other custom clothes are coming down the pipe—as long as she keeps up that unbridled excitement (just like us!).

Marc Jacobs Sells A Wanted T-Shirt To Catch A Thief

Posted 3/23/12 5:52 pm EST by Andi Teran in Designers, Shopping

Back in November, the entire Marc Jacobs spring 2012 collection was stolen from a train on its way from Paris to London. Remember that? Us, too. It was, how do you say, le BIG DEAL. The dastardly perpetrator is still at large but, luckily, the Marc Jacobs team rallied and reproduced the entire line. What's more, they had a sense of humor about it all. Not only did MJ put a giant train on the runway of his fall 2012 Louis Vuitton show (was this a gentle nod to the MJ collection theft?) he is now selling a hilarious $28 WANTED t-shirt bearing a sketch of the presumed thief.
