Harry Potter is going high fashion now. Belstaff is designing the wizard costume for Daniel Radcliffe for the next Harry Potter film. They have designed costumes for Batman Begins, Blade: Trinity, The Interpreter, Tomb Raider II, Mission: Impossible III, X-Men 3, Ocean's Twelve, War of the Worlds, "The Departed", The Aviator, and most recently for Will Smith wearing a Trial Master Legend Jacket in I Am Legend. Expect there to be an epic wizard robe in the new Harry Potter. Haha!

Finally, some good news today! And by good news I mean watching Dov Charney's company take a turn for the dump. American Apparel has announced it's cutting hundreds of jobs, despite posting the strongest sales in retail versus its competitors. The company is reducing its expansion plans, hence the layoffs. This, just after its opening TONS of stores across America. What a fucking bum! All the cuts come on the heels of many, many, lawsuits against Charney for subjecting employees to sexual harassment but also some rather odd ones involving scam e-mails, potential blackmail (against Charney), and other craziness. It's amazing that Dov blames the economy when its is him and his penchant for ending up in court that's causing the company to cut back. I feel sorry for the ones who lost their jobs. One of my good friends lost their job in the midst of all this crap. To the hundreds of unemployed hot hipster babes, I say best of luck.

Lemme make it official since me and everyone else that gives a fuck about fashion has been very disapointed with the "inside" news about Mike and Chris supposedly closing soon. Everyone: Mike & Chris is NOT closing. Despite rampant rumors that arose when their sample sale got foiled last month, the design duo are still weathering through the economy that has taken so many down a shitty path recenlty. As of right now, they've inked a deal with Green Mochi LLC, which also has partnerships with Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent and A.L.C. The deal, basically, allows Mike & Chris to focus solely on design, and Green Mochi on the tedious paperwork/business side. What does this mean? The slouchy blazers, buttery-soft leather jackets, and hoodies fashion-fags can't get enough of are sticking around. And since there's now someone to focus on the distribution of these goods, let's hope there will be fewer fuckups like the one we saw last month with the sale. Plus, it's a great way for the label to keep its head above water in a trying retail time. “Not only is it efficient on a business level, I will be able to really, really spend 100 percent of my time on the creative between the design process, the development of each collection and fine-tuning it,” Mike Gonzalez told WWD. The silver lining in a recession? Smart business moves and, yes, killer sales.

Made all the more ironic by his collaboration with British singer Estelle on her "American Boy" single, Kanye West is moving to London in early spring to pursue his burgeoning career in fashion design. According to the Mirror, he's applying to work at Louis Vuitton's HQ there and other fashion houses in Europe. He also plans to unveil his own line, Pastelle (again ironically, just two letters away from Estelle), in London. He's reportedly chosen Brit musician Mr. Hudson as his muse and star of Pastelle's first ad campaign. The Mirror reports: Kanye said: "I'm going to go and take an internship and just do something that's like completely normal, and just rap at the weekends or something." Or something! Could his music career be any farther back on that burner? Besides, what could be more normal than a 31-year-old with ten Grammys taking an internship at a fashion house? Fucking weirdo!

Honestly, womens shows are always better than the men's shows. Since everyday menswear is so much more limited than womenswear, imagining much of the men's pieces walking down the street on everyday dudes makes seeing the mens line on the runway a bit more interesting... Next month's men's collections could be better than ever since Gareth Pugh and Rick Owens are staging their first menswear shows. Both have used men in their previous shows but none have ever had just a mens show, let alone had one together.
These are bold moves for Pugh and Owens considering the economic times. What's more, Owens isn't playing it safe to pander to the dour economic climate and worried, conservative retailers. “Looking at my sketches, we have a couple of coats titled ‘exploding dominators,’ if that tells you anything,” he told WWD. I am excited...

As I reported earlier, two of my favorite designers have teamed up to do a small line of clothes. Alber Elbaz's breathtaking creations for Lanvin have been out for a while now. Alber did stuff for the past few seasons. And, as of next Thursday, his first denim line — a collaboration with Swedish denim company Acne — will finally be available. The 28-piece collection combines the classic style and impeccable detailing of Lanvin with the slightly rugged and hip look that Acne is famous for. Made from Italian and Japanese fabrics, the denim is minimally treated so it keeps its rich color. Highlights from the collection include a slightly relaxed straight-leg jean in the perfect shade of intense indigo ($520) and a short trench — an Alber hallmark — with oversize lapels, a loose fit, and beautiful jeweled buttons ($1,350). The entire collection will be available next week at Acne Studio, Barneys New York, and acnestudios.com. Gotta get the denim!

Add J. Alvo to your myspace friends! J. Alvo is a Brooklyn-based start-up company made by Jackie Alvo from New York City. Each piece is very unique and with each purchase you get a piece of art, rather than just a piece of clothes. I personally really like the black peel sweater.
Now that the minimalist style is at its height, with Jil Sander, Giorgio Armani and Helmut Lang being very popular and successful, she has taken it to another level and made simple-yet-very different ready-to-wear womens' wear. Her clothes are made with very sharp lines and careful cuts, creating basic but extremely elegant silhouettes in high quality and seemingly high-tech fabrics. Obviously, her favorite 'colors' are black and white. She will undoubtedly be compared to Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto for her intellectual designs and Helmut Lang for her black and white "techy" clothes. Expect to see a lot more coming from here. And, as always, every piece is "always vegan" and always hand made. My personal pick for startup designer of the year. :)

0 to 62 mph in $2.3 million dollars. That’s how much it would cost you in a Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès. INSANE! As if being a limited edition production was not classy enough, Bugatti has teamed up with luxury fashion house Hermès to do the interior for a “made to order” Bugatti Veyron Fbg.
A Hermès-designed interior on top of the finest automotive technology is what makes it really one of a kind and a toy for the elite among us. The interior features no visible stitches, utilizing the same sewing technique on the leather as on Hermès’ famous saddles for horses. A Hermès wallet designed especially for the car fits into a console, and the trunk comes with an Hermes suitcase already in place...now you have somewhere to put your cash AND drugs! Even the door handles reference the handle of the original suitcase designed for Ettore Bugatti.
I’ve walked into a few Hermès shops and you can always smell the craftsmanship they have in their products.They are only going to make 10 - 15 of these so I am sure nobody I know will have one but if I ever see one i will at least piss on it to make myself feel better.

As I am sure any real Jordan fans know, Mike played in converse before he signed with Nike and was given his own line of shoes. As of a few years ago Nike bought Converse and when they released the Jordan Defining Moments Package(DMP) they were GOING to release these with it. However, for whatever reason they decided not to and now there only exists a couple pairs of these samples, and only in size 9. I am sure you can guess how much they're worth...Check the photos, as thats probably the only time you will ever see these shoes in your life...Enjoy!

Kanye recently said he wants to intern for a big design house sometime in the near future. Due to the fact that he is "over rap" and has said numerous times he wants to focus most of his energy on designing and his clothing line PASTELE, he has decided to try to pick up a job at a design house. Soon Mr. Jesus Walks will be Mr. Intern Walks, fetching coffee and donuts for designers somewhere. Supposedly it may be over at Raf SImons. Huh...mildly interesting.

Here's the first leaked photos of the Air Jordan 2009. Since they ended the numbered line at 23, they are calling the lines numbered shoe the 2009. Next years numbered shoe will be called the 2010 and so on...Also, expect these to be a lot less accessible than the previous numbered Js. Last week I saw the original drawings of the 2009 and now the real photos popped up. This is the black/gold colorway and, looking at the photos, you can see that there's patent leather and gold detailing. I am sure there is some kind of new technology or at least a modified version of the IPS(indipendent pod system) in the last few Jordans. I have to admit, I actually like them. I dunno about wearing them down the street but maybe with a suit or to play ball in. As soon as more photos leak or I hear any info I will post more. According to sources, the shoe should retail at $190.

Did you ever sit around and think what happens when subway cars are not longer used because the system upgrades the line? In Beijing at least, the ones used before the Beijing Olympics have been sent to Sichuan and turned into winter shelters. Ten DK-16 trains, each with six cars, are now in Guangyuan, a city north of Sichuan's capital Chengdu. Pretty crazy. Last time I heard of any city doing something like this was when NY turned the old Red Birds into reefs...Pretty interesting, none the less. It is nice to see them finally doing something for the tens of thousands of people who are now homeless due to the earthquake. They have said it will house 10,000 people. They should put some in downtown Manhattan...
