PARIS REPORT: MY TOP FIVE PICKS FROM LOEWE

paris - the historic leather luxury house loewe has never really resonated with me...until now. the looks that stalked down their runway were simply incredible. according to sarah mower's review on style.com, the collection was borderline tacky...or vulger to be precise. but i found it bold, sexy and very future forward. thoughts?

PARIS REPORT: MY TOP THREE PICKS FROM LAGERFELD

paris - this was definitely hard. the entire collection felt like outtakes from a chanel show. almost like what lagerfeld would design if you were to let him loose. it was hard for me to find any that i really loved, but if i had to pick, the above are it.

I KNOW YA HEARD...NETAPORTER.COM TO DEBUT A DISCOUNT SITE

www - it's funny how news trickles down. as i was researching this tidbit, i discovered that it was announced as far back as january 18th by blackbookmag.com that netaporter.com is launching a new online outlet called outnet.com. i'm just finding out now. the site is set to stock brands we love like alberta ferretti, chloe, louboutin, and dvf at 40 to 60% less than normal retail price. as cute as this sounds, i'm thinking it will definitely undermine netaporter.com. what are your thoughts?

MADONNA TO LAUNCH A SECOND CLOTHING LINE

usa - i know, it took me a second to think about what her first clothing line was...m by madonna for h&m. now the pop icon is making plans to launch her second line with christian audigier of the tattoo printed tees and jeans. according to the daily mirror, audigier offered madonna a six figure deal to deliver her own range of tops and jeans. i'm personally not a fan of audigier's collection. it seems like the man has more stacks than style to burn and something tells me madonna is doing it all for the coins.
