'What's Grooving With': Fashion Icon Iris Apfel, Courtney Love, And Sir Karl Lagerfeld’s New Lower-Priced Line, 'Karl.'



Iris Apfel For MAC!

"MAC’s Senior Vice President/Group Creative Director, James Gager, once told me that MAC likes to collaborate with people who no one else would “ever think of using in a million years.” Exhibit A? Meet MAC’s new face, Iris Apfel.

Her line will debut on January 5, and follows closely on the heels of fellow fashion eccentric, Daphne Guinness‘ collection. It’s a full line, complete with five lipsticks (our fave is called Loudmouth Orange), lip pencils, and eye shadows like Howzat, a sparkly grey. It’s rounded out by mascara (gotta make your eyes pop through those glasses, right?), a peachy “beauty powder,” and three nail lacquers–a bright blue, bright fuchsia and a neutral.

We are loving that more, ahem, mature ladies, like Meryl Streep on her historic Vogue cover, are getting some love this month. I mean, how amazing does Iris look here?? - Fashionista.com"


Courtney Love Struts In Chanel Whiling Giving A Tour Of Her Soon To Be...



"Courtney Love is allegedly getting booted from her West Village townhouse for missing her rent and “ruining” the designer decor by giving it a paint job, reports the New York Post. Oh and for setting it on fire that one time. Oops.
The townhouse’s owner Donna Lyon says that Love caused up to $100,000 worth of damage to the property when she painted and wallpapered over the hand-finished walls. She also apparently owes $54,000 in rent–though you wouldn’t know it from the house tour Love gave to xoJane.

Clad in head-to-toe Chanel, Love shows off her pad, which xoJane has also been using as a “Pop-Up office.” What that means we’re not exactly sure but apparently it has Jane Pratt working out of Love’s “first floor prayer room…where Courtney meditates and chants.” Now there’s a mental image for you.

Other highlights include xoJane calling Love an “authority on antiques,” framed pictures of Love with Donatella Versace, Elizabeth Taylor and Woody Harrelson (?), and a white board scrawled with positive affirmations, inspirational quotes and Coco’s 4 one-year goals.

Love claims not to be broke–she responded to eviction rumors by telling the NY Post “I haven’t fallen behind on the rent—I have been paying month to month as agreed. My rent is current, but the owner is now asking for the remaining two months’ upfront. Even though it’s not required, I’d happily pay that and another six months’ rent upfront if she would extend the lease for six months.” But, judging by her “top 4 one-year goals,” we’re not sure she could pull it off quite so easily. Top on Love’s list is “get a loan for $25 Million,” though to her credit she seems to have hastily updated it to say “earn” $25 Million. Also on her list? Get justice from the government.” Hmm… - Fashionista.com"


More Exclusives Photos Of Karl Lagerfeld’s New Affordable Line, "Karl."




Net-a-Porter, who will soon be the exclusive carrier of Karl by Karl Lagerfeld, just revealed three new looks from the buzzed-about new masstige collection. From what we can tell, the collection will feature lots of black, sleek silhouettes, leather and cool accessories–a girly interpretation of Karl’s uniform.

According to a release (in which there are thankfully no excessive K’s), there will be 70 pieces available on Net-a-Porter beginning January 25 and prices range from $50 for a canvas bag with Karl’s face on it to over $1,000 for leather pieces.

Click through for a sneak peek. We’re particularly into the shoes, detachable collars and that sweatshirt. So, what’s the verdict? Has Karl succeeded at affordable luxury. - Fasionista.com"
