Married to the Mob’s Spring 2 campaign features our favorite smoking hot, boss-lady-in-charge, Leah McSweeney herself, not to mention her always shy and demure lil’ sister, Sweet Sixteen. Love the line and the panties! The collection is called ‘Grammercy Gardens’ and was shot in Manhattan’s Grammercy Hotel. The MTTM woman is still scandalous as ever, but now that she’s lived and learned a little, she’s also figured out the advantages of being a tad refined when called for. The collection includes tees  (one inspired by Daphne Guinness), plus mini dresses, rompers and ruffled tops and a twill jacket.

And since I was taking a trip down YouTube memory lane in an earlier post today, I want to share with you one of my very favorite M.O.B. promo videos of al times. It’s from 2006 and features the brand’s first swimsuit line. Even then, Leah was setting trends, using a gorilla as a video extra (”Oh you want that banana!”), which if you take a look around at music videos and commercials these days, has become extremely common place.

More shots of the line after the jump.

Samia and handed over to Manhattan’s Pierre hotel yesterday to enjoy high tea (yes, high tea, trust, for this Jersey girl it was a total hoot and a half) with all our M.O.B. crew favorites in celebration of Married to the Mob’s collaboration with Lacoste. The shoes are amazing, unique and the lace theme couldn’t be more on point. Priced at $120, look for them to go on sale February 13th. I’m behind on getting these up, but after this post I’m going to do another one dedicated to the people in attendance (Leah looked smoking hot–wait ’til you see!)

Married to the Mob’s head babe in charge, Leah McSweeney, just revealed its holiday line, as modeled by the one-and-only Sweet 16, (who has gone all blonde on us!). Standouts are the knit leggings and the brand’s venture into zip-up sweaters, which are warm and cozy, but with the added playfulness of that famous M.O.B. edge. I’m also digging the butt-length, distressed hoodie and this one tee-shirt with MTTM written in big, block letters along the bottom hem.  Find and purchase your very own faves at Married to the Mob!

Fresh M.O.B. fashion is about to hit stores and we here at H.S. like what we are seeing! The line is slick, sexy and just a tad more grown woman. Take a look on the next page and you’ll see the denim line is really hitting its stride, too. And then as a bonus it features our all time fave Married to the Mob modelismo, Sweet Sixteen!

Love this concept–take all the sassy, smartass phrases M.O.B. is known for and apply them to a five-pack of panties. Perfect for the shy female (or all you pantie-wearing males, after all, men ARE the new women) who feels more comfortable keeping her/his badass quotient undercover.

Exclusive to Karmaloop and part of M.O.B.’s five-year birthday celebration.

Many more after the jump….

Samia and I finally stopped by M.O.B. headquarters on Friday to say hello to boss lady Leah McSweeney and check out what she has planned for the fall. Can I first just say how happy it makes me to visit her bustling office (with its AMAZING Empire State Building view of southern Manhattan–tho, sob, still miss those Twin Towers….r.i.p.) and realize that the entire joint is headed up by a 26-year old female!! Seriously, that is my idea of nirvana. Especially when you consider that her empire was formed while sitting on a Manhattan stoop, sipping Marqueritas.

As usual, there’s a lot on the table, including M.O.B’s takeover this week of Karmaloop, which will include a 5-year anniversary product launch exclusive to the site, another kicks collabo , plus a party at Magic on August 31st.

M.O.B. designer Leah McSweeney pulled quite the slick crowd in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day at the Submercer Bar in SoHo last night.  Original fashion, cute guys (for once!), great music and a nice vibe…all the elements were in place.

Many more images after the flip.

MOB Rules the World & Everything in it Since'82!

You know M.O.B. designer Leah McSweeney wasn’t gonna let this day pass without marking the occassion in some significant way. And so we have M.O.B.’s second set of spring offerings, which includes for the very first time, an official “Flight Dress,” which is too cute and really breaks new ground for MTTM.

See the dress, fresh tees and new denim washes after the flip.

Need we say more about how excited we are about this? This M.O.B. Colette tee is part of the French retailer’s latest designer collabo series, commemorating Barbie’s 50th birthday. It features a special collection designed by Jeremy Scott, as well as a bunch of other select designers. No word yet on when these tees go on sale, but we will let you know as soon as we know!

Stopped by the Married to the Mob booth at Magic yesterday. While there were a LOT fewer brands repping compared with my last visit to Magic, Leah McSweeney and her crew were busy writing orders.  No recession at M.O.B.!  I suck ’cause I’m not sure who the person on the far left is, but in the middle is the great Lourdes and natch, boss lady McSweeney to her right. And though I couldn’t get a close up of fall 2009, on the next page theres a shot of the collection, which is another step up in design and offerings.  The sparkle jackets (far left), satin short-sleeved blouses (middle in bright blue) and printed wife beaters (far right) were my faves, but there’s a LOT to choose from.

p.s. All you Tokidoki nuts, I got tons of images and this time I was double-triple-quandroople-promised that I wouldn’t be ask to take them down post-posting!
