Matthew Williamson designs for H&M

Its official, the next designer for H&M will be Mr. Matthew Williamson. YAYYY!!!!!! Williamson is a designer straight from the UK who launched his first collection at NY Fashion Week in 2002. He has created wonderfully exquisite clothing and shoes for women such as Kelly Rowland and Thandie Newton, now its our turn!!!!! The line is scheduled to drop April 23rd. Seems like H&M along with Target have started a brilliant new trend by allowing high end and low end designers to create seasonal lines for their stores. By doing so, the stores always seem fresh and filled with new ideas and items. It’s also a great way to allow budget fashionistas to get great items from fab designers that they otherwise might not have been able to afford. This partnership will mark the debut of Williamson’s first ever line of menswear pieces.
This is what Matthew had to say;
“It is an incredible opportunity to be working with H&M, creating a ‘Matthew Williamson for H&M’ capsule collection. I love the fact that H&M have created a new phenomenon in fashion through the pioneering concept of collaborating with high-end designers to create one-off limited edition capsule collections. I am thrilled that my creations for H&M will be accessible to and hopefully enjoyed by so many people around the world.”
Here is some of his work;

Just Because...

OK so I'm loving the way my blog is coming together BUT it's no where near where I want it to be. Please bare with me as I work with a few graphic designers to hopefully bring you a blog like you've never seen before. Don't be surprised if it looks different every time that you visit (which i hope is often lol). In the mean time here's a clip of Chelsea Lately interviewing T.I. Funny ish, chick is wild- check it out: P.S- YES the "situation" that he's talking about is his baby mother/girlfriend/long time love known as "Tiny".

Video Fetish: Keri Hilson- ''Return The favor''

Video Fetish: Keri Hilson- "Turnin me on"

Here's a new video for ya ears: Keri Hilson- 'Turnin me on" ft. Wheezy. Now Keri is georgious but i feel like this video just ain't her.

Don't get me wrong i love Wheezy, i mean come on he's a fellow Libra!! But you gotta draw the line some where man!!

Foot Fetish: Payless Holiday Shoes

~Payless Designer Line Sheets Holiday 2008~
Take a look at the line sheet for the Payless Holiday line. I must say that its pretty good and yes i will have to scoop a few pairs for my own closet! What i really like about the line is of course the very low and affordable prices of the shoes mixed with high end craftsmanship! The way the economy is going, I predict that more people will hit up these styles this season. Fashionistas i hope your taking notes...
