Erin Wasson: Model turned Designer

Erin Wasson, my personal favorite model-turned-stylist, has now turned designer with her new line Erin Wasson for Rvca, a line that has been snatched up by hip boutique Opening Ceremony. Dubbed "tomboy chic" the scrawny tanks, destroyed denim, wools minis and pima cotton tanks are made for "strong girls who are really confident" while the line's greys, whites, and blacks channel something you would find in the "men's section in the skate shops". What did the design rookie have to say about her product? "I'm going to get my rocks off seeing girls in California skating around wearing my clothes".

Band of Outsiders: The Anti-Runway

In anticipation of this coming September Fashion Week, Band of Outsider's designer Scott Sternberg is going against fashion-world norms and finding his own perfect medium: "I'm doing a totally alternative thing because I can't bring myself to do a runway show. I don't make runway clothes. These are clothes you wear on the street, so I'm just super-uncomfortable with it. It puts it in totally the wrong context, I want to do something closer to where the clothes are, and let people actually touch and feel them as opposed to seeing them on a 14-year-old anorexic model."
