WWD gives us a preview of actress Zoe Seldana’s big advertising debut  as she stars in the Calvin Klein underwear campaing for their new “Envy line of five bras which includes a lace demi Bra, a tailored demi bra, a natural lift plunge bra, an air push up bra and Saldana’s favorite, a triangle bra —  being shipped to stores this week. “  This comes as a commentary to our previous post on the documentary, The Color of Beauty, indicating as the model agent  in the short states,  there is a place for women of color as long as they fit what has sadly been established as a standard of beauty. Regardless of  diversity issues in fashion, congratulations to Zoe in  landing some big bucks and global  exposure! More images on the flip.

Via Modelizing we’re seeing that the wildly popular Chanel Shanghai collection is now showing up in Manhattan windows. One more after the flip.

 Fresh off her scandalous split with RCVA (though a WWD follow-up says it was all luv!), Wasson appears in a spread for Vogue Italia. She looks gorgeous as always, and I will say this about her big scandal, this all happened not long after RCVA was purchased by publically traded Billabong, and once big corporate is involved I start believing nothing. Wasson most of her life has probably been trying to juggle a little more than is manageable, but nothing atypical for creatives who don’t have a ton of money but lots of energy and great ideas. Not surprisingly when the big money came in, the sharks came out and the end result was Wasson catching heat for being Wasson. There’s blood in the water, but one hopes she licks her wounds, learns her lessons and lives to create another day. Via Fashiongonerogue.

Newly arrived at Dover Street Market, a whole assortment of Michel Perry shoes  with a slight country cozy feel. This folded down,  fur enhanced   silhouette is going to be majah  this  fall.

We don’t post very much about skateboarding, we leave that to the resident experts, but this “Girls, Girls, Girls” series by Girl Skateboard is noteworthy because it’s a tribute to women in rock. Six skateboarders, of whom I have no idea who they are, each chose one icon to feature on his board. From left to right: Joan Jett, Chrissie Hynde, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith, Grace Slick and Stevie Nicks. Via Mashkulture.

The latest advertisement-in-the-guise-of-a-an-arty-movie-short comes from Missoni. This one is by Kenneth Anger, an experimental film maker. And while I like that artsy film makers are getting work and being given an opportunity to have artistic influence on a large sale, I must say I am not so crazy about this trend and have yet to see an ad short I want to watch beginning to end.

Here is a pair of Nike hi-tops called “Sweet Classic” that speak to the current sweatpants trend. It would be sort of overkill, however, to actually pair these shoes with a pair of sweats.  These are on sale now at Premiere. On the other side is a dark great low pair with a pink Swoosh.

Enjoy a look at the exclusive collaboration between one of the reigning kings of women’s footwear Jeffrey Campbell and one of our favorite boutiques, Pixie Market.  The floral  Austen and the suede Hutton  both make for  a nice transition from summer to fall. More images on the flip.

Delfina Delettrez creates stunning jewellery, and there is no denying that. However much as the design of this belt is striking,  in all honesty I just got really happy that it was named Skeletor. He-Man fans put your hands up in the air! (Yes I went there) More wearing options on the next page. Available at the amazing Couturelab.

Feeling like with the rising star of Lara Stone we’re getting tidal waved by sultry-boob-revealing blondes. So it’s nice to see something a little different for a change. The image here is from the August issue of Vogue Korea in a spread called “La Mer,” featuring model Han Hye Gin. Hong Jang Hyun is the photographer. See the rest of the shoot at FashionCopious.
