Target recently announced its next designer collaboration being 3.1 Philip Lim set to release on September 15 (only three days after its fashion show in New York) . The sketches reveal that the capsule collection will comprise more than 100 pieces of both womens and menswear including t-shirts as well as gowns and coats. Prices will range between $20 and $300, of which the more pricey ones are leather jackets and leather bags.

The collaboration marks Philip Lim’s first production for the masses. He tells in the video below that the thing about this collaboration that interested him was “making it a wardrobe for the modern-day citizen with their multifaceted multitextural lives that happen to be always on the go. It ranges from a t-shirt to a gown to a carry-on bag.”

The June 2013 issue of American Vogue stars as according to rumours the very Kate Upton on the cover, marking the first model feature on the cover since Kate Moss’s in June 2011. Kate Upton has for the past two years been acclaimed as the girl of the moment, starting from being a swimsuit model only to become a high fashion model. She lately landed both British and Italian Vogue as well as Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue for the second time in a row. The cover story is shot by Mario Sorrenti in the secluded landscape of Uruguay at the hotel Fasano Las Piedras, where Kate Upton wears classic American looks styled by Tonne Goodman.

The new Chanel short film Once upon a time starring Keira Knightley as Coco Chanel was released today Wednesday. The film is directed by Karl Lagerfeld himself obviously, and also features the actresses of Clotilde Hesme and Tallulah Harlech and the the models Lindsey Wixson, Stella Tennant and Saskia de Brauw,  Baptiste Giabiconi along with a lot of other familiar appearances.

As noted in the Youtube comment field, the acting and dialog seem a bit awkward, but it may be explicable by the fact that the actors and actresses were given their lines just minutes before the shoot. Or perhaps it was simply a well-aware choice by Karl Lagerfeld who apparently wanted the “natural effect”. Anyway, the costumes from earlier eras presented in the film are sufficient reason for watching it through.

The petition against John Galliano and his tutoring job at Parsons has succeeded. According to the an announcement the school sent to their students,  Galliano refused to be part of a forum that would include a “frank discussion of his career”. The three-day master class called ”SHOW ME EMOTION” at Parson which Galliano would supposedly teach will therefore be cancelled.
