Jeremy Scott Meets Bart Simpson at NYFW

"I present Bart as a teen dream, [because] that’s who he is to me," said designer Jeremy Scott in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Scott, who is arguably one of our generation's greatest young designers, features the famous Simpsons son in his fall 2012 collection.

"I chased [Fox] down like a dog in heat," Scott said. "I fell madly in love with Bart. And I’m not even the diehard, every-episode fan. It’s just such a part of pop culture."

Scott, who’s clothing pieces are being seen all over the place right now, is becoming a major part of pop culture himself. Released last week, his Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals collaboration effort is generating much chatter. The music and fashion industry’s elite have been seen in the collection’s sneakers, some of which feature plush teddy bears, Mickey Mouse, and the American flag.

Where have you seen Scott’s work most recently? Well, aside from Opening Ceremony at NYFW, Scott’s gold-winged sneakers and music note track suits were seen all over Madonna’s background dancers at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.

Material Girl

Looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Just recently Madonna and her daughter, Lola had launched their first clothing line called “Material Girl” which is exclusively sold at Macy's. The Mother Daughter pair had teamed up and produced a juniors clothing line that portrays a plethora of different looks including rock chic, skater, bohemian and some 80’s pieces. Looks Lola is following in her Mother’s footsteps on following her dream and becoming a worldwide fashion icon. The line has clothing from twelve to forty dollars so it’s affordable and stylish at the same time. You can check out Lola’s great new garments and shop online at Material Girl.

Everyone with a great fashion sense watches Gossip Girl, sometimes I even watch the episodes to see the trendy outfits that are worn. The “Material Girl” icon is Taylor Momsen, who stars on Gossip Girl as Jenny. Take a glance at the lookbook that has hip photographs of Taylor Momsen modeling the clothing on the streets of Brooklyn and New York. The photographs are amazing; Taylor Momsen brings a unique chic attraction towards the brand. After browsing at the lookbook, there are so many adorable garments that I would love to own. For a young girl who is only 13, I think that Lola has a lot of talent and potential.

Material World

Although I usually have a problem with celebrity designed clothing lines (see: Open Letter to Justin Timberlake), I actually kind of like Madonna and Lourdes’ newly launched line for Macy’s. The collection, unoriginal but aptly named Material Girl, is both cute and edgy and if I were starting my freshman year of high school in the fall I’d be all over it. Since I am actually 23 and have no desire to relive that part of my life, however, (see: brutally long awkward stage), I’ll probably just sit this one out. What I do have a problem with, though, is Taylor Momsen as the face of the line. While I will admit that she looks way less trashy and miserable than usual in the collection’s ad campaign, I cannot condone this charade. The angsty 16 year old often graces the stage of her band’s gigs in ripped thigh highs, black eyeliner, and little else; and though I understand the mother-daughter team’s desire to properly showcase the brand’s cheekiness, I don’t think their choice jibes with the line’s largely wholesome image. I do, however, happen to think that Lourdes’ style choices are both fierce and unexpected and while it may have been a tad narcissistic, she would have been the perfect spokes model.

I Heart the 90s?

With London Fashion Week 2009 behind us, one must wonder, "does history really repeat itself? It sure looks like it! I'm talking about whether or not the 90s are back ... and with quite a vengeance.

The 90s were a time of grunge rock, greasy hair, and chunky doc martens paired with a lab coat - I'm sure you all can attest to wearing some combination of the above mentioned ... thinking you were "all that" and a trend-setter. Perhaps you were.

The catwalk in London was chock-full of "Tank Girl" looks and little numbers that could pass off as something straight out of Courtney Love's closet! Even prominent designer Richard Nicholl - who teamed up with Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs in the past - hopped on the "runaway train." He framed cutesy tailored lab coats and undone lingerie ... how "Vogue" of him!

Now I want to hear from you, our adoring readers: Will you be running to your nearest department store, rummaging for a baby doll dress and butterfly clips?
