Via its iconic 581 style, New Balance is collaborating with four boutiques worldwide–Mita Sneakers in Tokyo, Kasina in Seoul,  24 Kilates in Spain and Bodega in Boston, Mass–with each one choosing materials and colors that tell a story about their stores. The 581 x Bodega shoe featured here was inspired by ’90s ski jackets. These should hit retail in about a month.

Billionaire Girls Club’s first collection will be limited edition and according to press, will launch in “the near future as a prelude to a full women’s collection, stocked exclusively through BBC online and with a selected number stores worldwide.” The tee shirts feature the BGC logo and a “Space Girl” head, created by Japanese graphic artist SK8THING.

I posted up a sneak peek of the H&M x Versace Resort 2012 collection this morning (a news story I apparently missed when it went live in November ’cause I was out of the country and drinking non-stop–praise alcohol), and shortly thereafter the fashion internet exploded with official images of all the offerings. Mine came via Fashionindie (where you can see the guys’ stuff, too). The writer there is less enamored with this collection and yes, it is more subdued, less screaming Gianni, but for those who aren’t so much into statement pieces it could be the  more preferable of the two collections–the softer side of Versace if you will.

As stated earlier, the big catch is that it will only available online, leaving us Yanks out of the fun since there is no H&M etail here, which no worries, you can always wait ’til  the above dress shows up on Ebay sold at only double the price of an actual Versace dress. [UPDATE: Ahh, thought there would be a trick like this--in the comments a reader tells us H&M is planning to launch a U.S. etail site in January.]

It’s just surfacing widely now, but back around Thanksgiving Thebijouxeditrex gave the world a glimpse of another season’s collaboration between H&M and Versace. Next up is Cruise, which, according to the author, will be available on line only. She says:

 ”…and for all of you who can’t get enough of the Versace vibes or couldn’t get to a store to take part in last week’s fashion scrum, the collabo continues with a Cruise collection going exclusively online in January 2012.  Think fruity floral prints in blue lilac, candy pink and white, spaghetti straps, baby doll dresses, printed denim hot pants, white jeans with gold embroidered side seams, bikini’s, ballet pumps and strappy sandals.”

Maybe time to add an H&M gift card to the gift list? See the rest of the images on the next page.

Being a Snobette in our definition is  in many ways  about loving the authenticity in style and fashion in all its quality,  creativity and even quirkiness. While fast fashion mega brands have been praised with democratizing fashion, we often wish the offerings were more unique/original and did not get “inspired” by talented creatives who create lust-worthy pieces with originality and sass.  A few years back we noticed Madewell’s “love” of A PeaceTreaty and recently, the cool ladies of Sixsixsickgirls bring to our attention Topshop’s Nail tip ring, which clearly is a rendition of the famed Bijules nail ring. All we have to say is why? Why not create something unique?

The Mob crew is at it again, bringing new looks for Holiday 2011. Standouts are the “Deflower Me” leggings (as modeled above by Sarah McSweeney) and boyfriend sweatpants, plus for sheer fun points (not to mention a great X-mas gift), the “Die Young Stay Pretty” sox. All available for purchase here.
