Jonathan Adler X Bare Minerals Limited-Edition Set

Jonathan Adler and BareMinerals have teamed up on a limited-edition Happiness by Design set, which merges cosmetics with home decor. The project marks two firsts—BareMinerals's debut collaboration and Adler's premiere foray into cosmetics. "I always say that I believe we're all beautiful on the inside," Adler told ELLE.com, "But you might as well do what you can on the outside. It was a joy to work with [Bare Escentuals and BareMinerals founder] Leslie Blodgett and her team, and I'm so pleased with how the product turned out."

The special-edition box features Adler's signature bright hues in a chevron pattern and houses a Handy Buki Brush and an oversize version of the makeup brand's Original SPF 15 Foundation (available in five shades).

“I love the color combination of this collection," Blodgett told ELLE.com. "It’s hot and fiery. It’s a ball of energy. This isn’t something you meditate to. You open it, and a genie pops out. In this case, it’s our fabulous foundation.”

The collectible set ($60) launches in February at BareMinerals boutiques and Ulta and Nordstrom stores, as well as on bareminerals.com, sephora.com, ulta.com, and nordstrom.com.

Louis Vuitton / Spring 2013 Ads

PARIS — Artist Daniel Buren, who created the yellow checkerboard set for Louis Vuitton's spring fashion show in Paris in October, created a similarly graphic backdrop for the French brand’s next fashion campaign, slated to break in February issues.

Photographer Steven Meisel, who shot the ads in a New York studio, was seeing double as Vuitton artistic director Marc Jacobs chose top young models in twins to heighten “the message of repetition and the repetition of patterns.” Jacobs noted that his collection was inspired by one of Buren’s most famous works — the striped columns of different heights in Palais Royal, known as Les Deux Plateaux — and played with Vuitton’s famous Damier check.

Buren said it was his first such collaboration with a fashion brand, and he was impressed with the speed of the industry. “Some of my projects take years to complete, so this was new for me,” he mused.

The checks don’t stop there. Buren has also been tapped to do window displays for select Vuitton boutiques, timed for the arrival of the ready-to-wear collection in March.

Assouline / Windows @ Bergdorf Goodman

The holidays are here! Feel the crispy, wintry air and become inspired with a festive mood.

Assouline's Windows at Bergdorf Goodman: Special Edition is sure to beguile your decorative spirit with its cornucopia of beautiful and unique images.

"Windows at Bergdorf Goodman proves that looking can be more fun than shopping."

- Harper's Bazaar

New York loves a spectacle, and come holiday season one of the best in town is the elaborate windows at Bergdorf Goodman that attract thousands of New Yorkers and visitors every year. The anticipation is sustained year-round by innovative window displays that do far more than herald the changing winds of fashion. Bergdorf Goodman windows are legendary for their artistry, detail, smart references, and sly visual jokes. Who could forget the Dada-inspired upside-down display in summer 2006, or the extraordinary white paper-sculpture dreamscape from holiday 2000? The surreal worlds conjured behind the glass are as varied and fully realized as a three-ring traveling circus, a Louis XIV confectionary, and an Edwardian portrait sitting—artistic visions created by the Visual Department of Bergdorf Goodman. Like the best advertising and the best art, the windows’ statements are nothing if not memorable. Says the store’s director of visual presentation, David Hoey, “We’re drawn to extremes here. Minimalism is great. Maximalism too. What we avoid is medium-ism.” This volume presents the best of the past decade of memorable tableaux, sidewalk shadow boxes, you could say, in a covetable collector’s edition.

Nike / Studio Wrap

Introducing the Nike Studio Wrap

As tastes change and people look for new, all-encompassing fitness programs, so too do the popular workouts of the day. With the rise of studio-style workouts — yoga and pilates, for example — the requisite shoe is evolving, with exercisers preferring a more stripped down, barefoot-like experience. (If not just flat out barefoot.)

The Nike Studio Wrap, a three-part footwear system comprised of a wrap, ribbon and flat and designed to offer a better-than-barefoot experience while solving the myriad issues that accompany simply not wearing shoes. (Slipping and the hygiene of going barefoot in a studio jump immediately to mind.)

The ribbon and wrap ensure some stability and support without hindering range-of-motion at all, with a minimal sole that offers a bit of protection and maximized flexibility.

And unlike shoes, the wrap and ribbon can easily be tossed in the wash with the accompanying mesh storage bag, ensuring easy cleaning and portability

The result of 30 different prototypes and myriad wear-tests, the Nike Studio Wrap may just be the future of studio footwear. Launching in Spring 2013, the Nike Studio Wrap will retail for $110 USD.
