The line is mainly geared towards the tween-teenage girl range and is very pop-punk.

You just never know who you’ll see!!!

Vogue Editor in Chef Anna Wintour is out doing PR for the movie ‘The September Issue’ which goes through the process of creating the biggest issue of Vogue.

Last night she was on The Late Show with David Letterman, and I can kinda see how the movie ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ is pegged to be about her.  While she did show some sense of humor, it looked a little stiff!

You can check out here interview below.

Ms. Wintour did mention something that I find interesting, its call “Fashion’s Night Out’.  It is a city wide event that will be held in NYC on Sept 10, 2009.

“Retailers will unite for a single evening in New York City and thirteen other fashion capitals around the world by creating engaging and entertaining incentives to inspire consumers and invigorate the economy and local industry.”

Basically people like Mayer Bloomberg, Designer Michael Korrs, Anna Wintour and more will be out in Manhattan and the surrounding Borough’s retail stores and fashion boutique’s helping to inspire people into shopping again.

Move over Hot Topic, there is another retail chain joining the Twilight Saga pool!!!

High End retailer Nordstrom announced today they are teaming up with Summit Entertainment to launch an exclusive fashion and jewelry line for the anticipated movie ‘The Twilight Saga:New Moon’.

Per the Press Release:

Created by Awake, Inc., the apparel collection centers around fitted screened T-shirts, tanks and hoodies that reflect the mood and spirit of the film. Twilight fans can choose from designs that show their affinity for vampire Edward Cullen with a “Team Edward” logo or werewolf Jacob Black with a “Team Jacob” logo. Other T-shirts feature film-related lines such as “Bet You Can’t Read My Mind” and imagery such as “Forks High School Phys. Ed. Dept.” and the tattoo design worn by the werewolf pack. Plaid tunics and jackets inspired by the style and setting of the film round out the lifestyle collection. Prices range from $32 for a T-shirt to $58 for a jacket.

The line will be available via the online store starting on Oct 1, 2009 and in retail stores on Oct 15, 2009.

The following press release from retail store H&M some how got lost in the shuffle.

It was originally release on 6/17/09, so apologies for the late delivery.

Jimmy Choo will be designing an exclusive line of Shoes & Handbags for H&M and will be available in select stores!!  The line will be available starting on November 14th, 2009!!!  No word on how much the line will cost.

Official Press Release:

This autumn, British accessory brand Jimmy Choo will bring its international glamour and covetable shoes and bags to selected H&M stores. The collection will be available from November 14 in around 200 stores across the world. It is the first time that H&M is collaborating with an accessories brand, and to celebrate Jimmy Choo will extend its design vision for this collection to women’s clothing to complement the accessories. Further exciting news is that this collaboration includes a men’s collection of shoes, bags and accessories.

“We are privileged to be among the fashion greats who have been affiliated with H&M so far, and to be designing a collection appealing to fashion savvy, street smart women, and to be including some great pieces for men, too. Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection – the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!” Tamara Mellon, Founder and President, Jimmy Choo.

“We adore Jimmy Choo’s shoes and bags. They are glamorous and sexy, and they add instant style to the simplest of outfits. I like the way we have worked with clothes to accessorize the shoes and bags rather than the other way around. This collaboration is particularly exciting because it’s our first shoe designer collection. It’s a joy to be able to offer top end designer shoes and bags of excellent quality to our customers.” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor, H&M.

Since its launch in 1996, Jimmy Choo has been such a phenomenal success that the brand name has become part of popular culture – say the words “Jimmy Choo”, and you know you mean shoes. In Hollywood, Jimmy Choo shoes have become a red-carpet essential, and have been worn at the Oscars by winners such as Cate Blanchett, Halle Berry and Hilary Swank among many other actresses. The famous Jimmy Choo shoes will be at the heart of the exclusive collection for H&M, but there’s more. Jimmy Choo has also become well known for its bags, and for H&M there will be a whole range of accessories to complete the look.

H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB (H&M) was founded in Sweden 1947. The company’s business concept is to offer fashion and quality at the best price. H&M is quoted on NASDAQ OMX Nordic. The H&M Group has around 1,800 stores in 34 markets. H&M has around 73,000 employees and achieved sales including VAT in 2008 of MSEK 104,041. For further information visit www.hm.com
