For their second wedding ceremony in Venice this weekend, Salma Hayek wore Balenciaga.
David Beckham will design a range for Adidas Originals by Originals alongside Jeremy Scott.

Cheap Monday is releasing a limited edition pair of jeans with the help of Barneys--the jeans, and their "Increase The Peace" insignia, will be sold only tomorrow, on election day, at the Barneys stores. We're guessing a lot of people will 'swing by' after casting their vote, no one gets a free twenty-minute break from work without bending the rules a little bit.
Adidas is launching a sportswear line (as in American clothing not running gear) this Fall 09 called SLVR. The collection will be launched during New York Fashion Week in February complete with a fashion show and retail space opening. A few weeks later the same thing will occur during Paris Fashion Week, and, after that, the subsequent roll out of other stores and wholesale accounts.
Designer Matthew Williamson is set to relaunch his diffusion line for British retailer Debenhams, after a two year hiatus from his post there. Julien Macdonald and Jasper Conran currently design diffusion lines for the high street retailer as well.
Fortunately, in New York, not everyone at the glossies is losing their jobs. Here's the official record of those who haven't.
We are so angry at the failure of the American government to propose a reasonable bailout strategy for Wall Street we can barely control ourselves, and while our problem may be emotional incontinence apparently a lack of control is the inspiration for Japan's newest fashion trend. Seriously, a fashion show of "nappies" aka diapers to show an aging population just how fashionable diapers can be happened in Tokyo. The funniest part?

French Jeweler Mauboussin is opening a Madison Avenue boutique

It turns out not advertising can be good for business if you have eager broke customers shopping your store for the price point and not that quality.
Jeremy Scott, who will show his namesake collection in Paris on Sept. 30, has signed a multiseason deal with activewear giant Adidas to design apparel and footwear for men and women. Streetwear designers Alyasha Owerka-Moore and Kazuki are also involved. His winged high tops are actually pretty cool.
This collaboration kind of makes us giggle. Adidas, next month, will launch their AZX project where a boutique is chosen to represent each letter of the alphabet (i.e. C is for Colette. Yes, really) and a collaborative shoe made. Our network partner, High Snobreity, clued us into the video, below, revealing which boutiques have been chosen for the project. Twenty six in all. Street wear can be so darn cute sometimes. For other Adidas goins on, be sure to catch up on the news. It looks like your either with Adidas (that is, collaborating) or your against them (that is, ripping them off and losing 305 million because they don't put up with that kind of thing). Ladies, I think it's clear which side of the cafeteria we're sitting on.
