That Bites

Sadie Stein — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:20:00 EST

Yes, the second Steve & Barry's bankruptcy filing is devastating to the thousands of people employed by the retail chain, but more important: What of Sarah Jessica Parker's "Bitten" line?! This high-profile low-end credit-crunch casualty is likely to land on its feet. Says SJP: “We have a lot of home offers." While she doesn't give specifics, it'll have to be something affordable, along S&B lines. "We have to make sure that any partner we enter into an agreement with wants the same thing for the brand as we do, which is to serve the customer first...Now, more than ever, people need all things that are about economy, so I want very much to continue it in the right way. So we just have to figure out what’s right for the customer, and how to do it in these economic times.” [New York Mag] More »

OMG: Rachel Zoe has been disinvited from the Anna Wintour-hosted Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, taking place Monday night in New York. This is what you get when you tempt the gods and proclaim yourself more important than Vogue. [Fashion Week Daily]

The New Old Navy: Better Than Bitten

Jennifer — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 15:40:00 EST

Old Navy wants to be less, well, "old". Which is why the trailer is re-launching and re-imaging itself as a younger and hipper (while still affordable) brand with the debut of something called the "Urban Explorer" line. (Did they not say "safari" because that has weird colonialist connotations?) And while Old Navy president Dawn Robertson stepped down this week — I think she might've left too soon. Because the stuff is actually pretty good. Everything is priced under $40 and is a hell of a lot nicer than anything in Sarah Jessica Parker's debut Bitten line for Steve & Barry's. The safari (sorry, "explorer") theme might have been taken too literally (those pieces displayed after the jump), but there are also basics like tanks and jeans that totally do the trick without breaking the bank. My favorite, though, would have to be the shoes: Must have gladiator sandals for under twenty bucks! Select "Urban Explorer" looks reviewed, after the jump. More »

Lauren Conrad Collection: Ugly, Overpriced, Simply Outrageous

Jennifer — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:20:00 EST

Once again, Lauren Conrad "triumphs" over Heidi Montag. While Heidi's "working" in fashion as the "face" of Anchor Blue (for the more "mature" slutty tween!), Lauren is actually "designing" her own clothes. Only her designs are a little...meh. Ok, they're actually a lot "meh": The Spring 2008 looks of the Lauren Conrad Collection is nothing more than idiotic jersey pieces, that retail for up to $170 dollars. Not only that, but the cuts seem super weird, and the palette is heavy on doody colors. LC did, however, name two looks after gal pals Whitney Port and Audrina Partridge! After the jump, behold the full Lauren Conrad Spring/Summer 2008 collection. And try not to throw things at your monitor in outrage when you do. More »

Ashley Judd To Design Cheap Clothing Line, Burberry Targets Renaissance Faire Demographic

Jennifer — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 10:32:21 EDT

Ashley Judd is designing an el cheapo clothing line a la Sarah Jessica Parker. The lucky recipient of this collection: The clothing chain Goody's. Which makes sense in the "paradigmatic" sense until you're like, wait a second, Ashley Judd? Who the fuck ever paid attention to her outfits? Does simultaneously belonging to the Judd family and not having big hair account for some huge personal style statement? [WWD]

David Lynch is slated to direct the TV ads for the new Gucci fragrance. It would be funnier if the scent was also "inspired" by David Lynch, and we could imagine it smelling of decomposing human flesh and surrealism, but we guess this is just what you do these days when your last really memorable project was cancelled 15 years ago. [WWD]

Levi's premium line, Red, is "inspired" by Japanese design. Which was funny because all the Japanese designers are ever trying to do is recreate classic Levi's. [WWD]

Appearing in the new Burberry ad campaign: Up-and-coming English rocker boys lounging alongside the stable of Burberry girls Agyness Deyn, Lily Cole, Kiera Gormley, and Georgia Frost. The word the publicists have chosen to apply to this collection? "Medieval." Right. Because there is something so totally Canterbury Tales about the combination of trenchcoats and professional cokeheads. [Times of London] More »

My Existential Sarah Jessica Parker Crisis

Jennifer — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 17:20:22 EDT

When we first caught wind, way back before anyone was actually reading this, of Sarah Jessica Parker's first-ever clothing line and its unexpected taking up of residence at the beyond-classy Steve & Barry's discount sport shop, we were thrilled. Such material! She of the mortgage-priced shoe collection! A poster girl for the $20 outfit! And using Oprah's couch as a soap box to do so! Oh, but quickly we soured. We began grumpily to resent SJP's notion that she was Some Great Philanthropist. And then we resented her resenting us. We found ourselves, for the first time in ever, siding with the stylegentsia. Whose abiding question about Bitten by SJP could be boiled down to: Why so ugly? So it was with no small sense of duty — and no big sense of enthusiasm — that we approached the Manhattan Mall Steve & Barry's. More »

Sarah Jessica Parker, Oprah, New BFFs

Jennifer — Fri, 25 May 2007 10:50:26 EDT

Forget those rumors about Oprah and Gayle King — we're beginning to suspect that there's something going on between Oprah and Sarah Jessica Parker. First SJP gave Oprah the exclusive (well on TV) of her (boring! cheap!) Bitten apparel line, and now Oprah has anointed Parker guest editor of the July issue of O: The Oprah Magazine. The magazine is setting aside eight pages for SJP to style (here it comes!) "real women...of all ages and sizes" in her cheapster wares. We're sure they'll look nothing short of giggly and girlish, though we're curious as to whether SJP will be borrowing the trick utilized in her June Glamour shoot in which her plain-Jane designs are hidden by the occasional Burberry dress and Louboutin pump. You know, all the usual things that "real women..of all ages and sizes" have at their disposal when they dress themselves in the morning! More »

"Elle"'s Gilles Bensimon Confesses To Poor Management Skills

Jennifer — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 13:00:25 EDT

After being bounced by Elle in favor of Joe Zee, the magazine's founding creative director Gilles Bensimon finally speaks. "I was never good with giving direction, day by day. I never asked to be director of a magazine," he says. "I was only photography director. The first day I got the position... I go, 'oh my gosh that's a mistake." [WWD, 1st item]

Sarah Jessica Parker Versus The Woman Who Made Her

Jennifer — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 18:48:09 EDT

Sarah Jessica Parker's forthcoming clothing line Bitten has garnered press primarily for its exclusive with "wallet-friendly" chain Steve and Barry's and its uninspired design. Now the plot thickens with news that Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Field is designing her own line for British chain ASOS. More »
