Womanly and body conscious, the Cushnie & Ochs Spring 2012 collection is filled with the kind of dresses and separates  most women want in their wardrobes. We’re daring you to not love every single piece. Enjoy!

Asics has partnered with Hello Kitty before but this is the first time the two have done a head-to-toe collection. Called “Run With Hello Kitty,” it’s tech tops, bottoms, shoes and accessories meant to appeal to younger customers who want to stay cute while working out. You’ll be able to purchase it starting in November at select Hello Kitty stores and on the brand’s website. See the rest of the looks on the next page. Images via Asics.

Launching in the beginning of October is the second installment of Jeremy Scott’s watches for Swatch. On the next page a closer look at each style which  of course we advocate to rock  like bracelets. The more the merrier, more info at Swatch.

This image pretty much burned up the fashion internets yesterday. It’s Nicki Minaj and Anna Wintour, front row at Caroline Herrera. (What wasn’t mentioned much was that Minaj was also sitting next to W editor-in-chief, Stefano Tanchi. ) I saw that Fashionista titled its post “Ann Wintour Forced To Sit Next To Nicki Minaj At Caroline Herrera,” and I thought about titling this post “Anna Wintour Continues Relevancy Tour By Rubbing Shoulders With Rappers,” but whatever, it’s a new day and I’m not sure how I even feel about Minaj’s fashion choices for this event and in general lately so not feeling so inspired to rush to her defense.

On another note, looks like that’s her boyfriend, Sarafee Samuels, sitting behind her and he’s next to Lynn Yaeger, formerly the fashion editor for the Village Voice.

Miss Wax is hitting the ground running for Autumn 2011, offering a strong collection of the women’s accessories the street savvy-company has built its name on, plus launching wallets and a men’s collection which hits retail at the end of October.

See the rest of the lookbook on the next page. And if by chance the fashion somehow feels familiar that’s ’cause a bunch of it was provided by Snobette favorite Hellz!

This morning  Michael Angel let his designs speak for themselves by showcasing his Spring 2012 collection in a presentation where the prints are of course the star. Covetable separates  and dresses suitable for the wardrobe of the discerning style diva with an edge. Enjoy a closer look at our faves on the flip. All images Highsnobette.

Some major nail art love for this look by Wanda Ruiz for Jen Kao. Titled “Lethal Love” the bold color gradation  is show stopping and has us fiending:

The technique used  was airbrush diffused, gradation manicures that attract the eye with bold shades, but like a poisonous frog, have dangerous undertones. These four uniquely artful manicures were shaded using an airbrush tool, but can be re-created at home using CND Colours in Midnight Sapphire, Anchor Blue, Rouge Red, and Green Scene each combined with Inkwell and topped with Air Dry Top Coat while wet for an ombre finish.

In what is probably his strongest if not most distinctive collection yet, Alexander Wang for Spring 2012 catches print fever (inspired perhaps a bit by Rodarte and Prada Spring 2011?) and adds newness and electricity with activewear-inspired silhouettes–done to perfection because it’s a style aesthetic that has always been a backbeat for the line.

And yet, as strong as the clothes were, the white shoes he showed….just, oh my. And the truth is while it pains me a bit because white shoes have always been my secret, private signature and now they’re exploded all over a major runway for all the copiers to follow, nonetheless, these are a major must-own.

Hands down a longtime favorite from Adidas designer collaborations has been Y-3. Enjoy a look at the full runway for this upcoming Spring!

Hot off the presses is the news that Steve Madden tapped  Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as creative directors for Superga North America:

“The Olsens are tastemakers, and people pay attention to what they’re thinking and what they’re wearing,” Madden told Footwear News last week. In their new roles, the pair will oversee all creative and marketing initiatives, as well as have oversight for distribution. The line is targeted to upscale department stores and high-end speciality boutiques.

“We hope to introduce a fresh perspective to this iconic collection, while honoring Superga’s legacy of timeless design,” Ashley Olsen said in a statement.
