Forever 21 for People Over 21 Coming Soon

Looks like Forever 21 is about to launch a new line geared towards an older, more sophisticated customer. I'm looking forward to checking it out. Now that I no longer do enough drugs to feel comfortable in dresses that graze my ass cheeks, I haven't really been shopping there.

Another Parsons Star on the Rise

Just wanted to take a moment to point out the gorgeousness of the work my old Parsons friend Prabal Gurung let loose on the world during New York fashion week a few days ago. He designed for Cynthia Rowley and Bill Blass (and was a fashion success in his native Nepal before arriving in the US) before finally launching his own namesake label aimed at the richest of the rich. You might also have seen him on an episode of America's Next Top Model making a disgusted face at one of the contestants as she runway hobbled across Cynthia's studio on a go-see (a moment that brought me much joy.)

My bet is he'll have no trouble winning the loyalty and adoration of the elite. My broke ass is already a MAJOR fan. Look at the back of the black and white number! The red and black Blade Runner dress! And the beaded one! Prabal, when I make my first million, you're my first call.

Bebe's New Baby

Anyone else think most Bebe dresses look like Charlotte Russe/Forever 21/Wet Seal dresses and as such should cost the same? It's nice to see that the Bebe peeps caught on. As a result, they're gonna be putting out a new store called b2 (now there's some creative genius at work) where the price is more on par with, say, Express.
I'm not a fan of the brand in general, but Tara Subkoff's collection for them was pretty cute.
