Butt Cleavage Fashion
Style Buzz For some reason, there are people who think regular panties just aren’t revealing enough. So they built panties that show extra amounts of butt cleavage!

Artist Designed Vans
Style Buzz Vans has launched a new collection of women’s sneakers designed by artists. The first in the series features the whimsical mod-girl doodles of illustrator Keren Richter. A second shoe by Richter and a shoe by Kime Buzzelli will follow.

Balloon Couture
Style Buzz A new trend among fashion designers is making dresses with twisted inflatable balloons. I think Maison Martin Margiela and the other inflatable balloon designers may be getting a little too presumptuous. I’m pretty sure they could teach you how to make a balloon dress in clown school.

Brazilians For Men
Style Buzz Hip hop moguls Jay-Z and Diddy have both praised the benefits of waxing…down there. It may be a couple of years after the fact, but it seems like Outkast really broke through to these guys, persuading them to get “so fresh and so clean.”

Ruslana Korshunova Suicide
Style Buzz Twenty-year-old model Ruslana Korshunova fell to her death from her downtown New York apartment building yesterday in an apparent suicide. Known as “The Russian Rapunzel” Korshunova — originally of Almaty, Kazakhstan — had been featured in ads for Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Vera Wang and Christian Dior. Her tragic death seems to have come as an absolute surprise to friends and family, who claimed she seemed to be “on top of the world,” though some reports suggest that she had shown her distress in posts on a social networking site.

McFly 2015 Nike Hyperdunks
Style Buzz The fictional shoe worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future is being released by Nike sometime in July. It seems someone finally told Nike that they already make this shoe and that all they need to do is give the Kobe Bryant-backed Hyperdunk a different paint job. Maybe we really are living in the future (despite the lack of flying cars, and the coveted hoverboard.)

Richard Chai for Target
Style Buzz Richard Chai is the latest designer to release a diffusion line as part of Target’s Go International collection. The collection- available in August of 2008-has fashion blogs are all weighing in. The images look nice but as with all Target collections we’ll have to see them in person to determine the quality of the fabrics and fit.

Jewish Rosaries
Style Buzz So much for nuns and Mexican ladies having all the fun! One jewelry designer is making the Catholic prayer beads available to all the nice Jewish girls and boys. Who would’ve thought a simple accessory might finally bring an end to the war that brews in Williamsburg?
-
Gypsy Models
Style Buzz Designer Vivienne Westwood raised quite a few eyebrows by employing Roma Gypsy models during her Milan runway shows. The models were styled to look “rough, stylish and hardened” and sported gold teeth and medallions. The theme of the show was “tolerance” but Westwood has been accused of romanticizing the Roma lifestyle as well as disrespecting the traditions of Romanipen by having the men model in their underwear.
-
Origami Fashion
Style Buzz Prada, André Lima, and Shirley Mable Fernandez have been releasing a myriad of ensembles that bear uncanny resemblances to Origami classics. All the designers are attributing their inspiration to architecture and Japanese Origami. But Lima’s line isn’t merely inspired by Origami, it practically is Origami.

Ad agency makes a JC Penney commercial (without their consent) where horny kids practice speed dressing.

Karolina Kurkova, “Too Fat”
Style Buzz The Czech supermodel was criticized in the Brazilian press for having “back fat, love handles and cellulite” after a recent swimwear show. Yikes! This makes even less sense than that Jennifer Love Hewitt flap of last year. Kurkova was #6 on this year’s Forbes list of top-earning models; is also not fat.

Wimbledon Fashion
Style Buzz At Wimbledon 2008 Federer rocks a Gatsby-like button down, Sharapova debuts a controversial tuxedo ensemble, Serena Williams warms up in a trench coat, and Roddick expresses his apathy toward tennis fashion. Wimbledon denotes grass courts, Pimms, strawberries and cream and, now, fashion. Wimbledon’s strict all-white policy summons a challenge for players and sponsors: create a not-so-traditional ensemble that will gain media attention while still adhering to Wimbledon’s values.

Shoetube.tv
Style Buzz A jazzed-up version of Youtube where shoe lovers post videos dedicated to their favorite shoes. Shoe and foot fetishists now have a special social networking site of their own. People with weird obsessions gotta stick together!

Heels For Babies
Style Buzz A new line of novelty baby shoes cleverly named Heelarious has created a high-heeled shoe for infants. The collapsible shoes are intended for baby girls who have not yet learned to walk, but still want to wear ‘fabulous’ footwear. Eww. I much prefer the trend of making adorable baby stuff into adult sizes; someone is obviously missing the point about the whole thing that makes babies cute (hint: it’s that they are tiny and innocent and don’t dress slutty).

Versace’s Fashion Line for Obama
Style Buzz Donatella Versace dedicated her spring 2009 men’s collection to Barack Obama. Versace felt compelled to honor Obama because he is “the man of the moment”. Versace’s line does not include any ties which she hopes will encourage Obama to “get rid of the tie and jazz up the shirt”.

Alice Dellal
Style Buzz Model and heiress Alice Dellal has been turning heads with her grunge-inspired style. At 20 years old its unlikely she remembers when Chris Cornell sported that same asymmetrical half-shaved hairstyle but she seems to be pulling it off nonetheless. Rumor has it the will be replacing Kate Moss-the original grunge-era goddess-as the face of Agent Provocateur.

Donna Ricco
Style Buzz The designer’s $148 dress is suddenly selling like hotcakes thanks to Michelle Obama. After the potential next First Lady wore the frock during her appearance on The View, the dress sold out online.

Sienna Miller No Longer Style Icon
Style Buzz Sienna Miller’s rash of bad outfit decisions as of late have caused her to lose her fashion icon status. You thought boho was scary! These days, Sienna Miller looks like an extra from Benny and Joon.
