Topshop Spring Preview

Nitrolicious has the scoop on Topshop's Spring Preview. I can honestly tell you that all the collections from the Unique line, to the limited edition designer lines. This spring is looking crazy at Topshop. I just spent an undetermined amount on their website on a piece from the Unique collection. I really didn't want to spend money but...Anyway here are a few photos. The rest are at Nitrolicious.

R.I.P.

Eunice Walker Johnson
(April 4, 1916 - January 3, 2010)

“Mrs. Johnson elevated the image of Black women being fashion conscious, fashion forward and affluent,” said Kenneth Owen, assistant producer of Ebony Fashion Fair, who was handpicked by the fashion pioneer 26 years ago to work alongside her.
Full obituary here.

She did so much for black models, designers, and fashion. Mrs. Johnson worked with YSL, Cardin, and others before they were famous. Her traveling fashion brought fashion to the masses. Going to one of her fashions shows was a highlight when I was younger. She will be missed.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!

FROM FASHIONISTA.COM:
One of the running news/gossip threads running through all of 2009 was when and where Marc and Lorenzo would finally tie the knot.

Would it happen in Provincetown? Turns out, no. Then rumors circulated about Brazilian nuptials. Now Guest of a Guest is reporting that the couple said “I do” while vacationing in St. Barths.

As if we weren’t already jealous seeing pictures of the gorgeous pair having a blast on the beach with their Louis bags and towels, their wedding cake (with replicas of Marc’s tattoos) and party pics look even more fun.

We know Rachel and Rodger were in town, so we’re assuming they attended the fete, complete with a dinner thrown by gallerist Larry Gagosian. We can’t wait to see the rest of the elite guest list.

Congrats to the newlyweds!!

UPDATE: According to The Cut,They are still engaged.

Calling all creatives and crafters... Operation Valentine needs you!

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it! Operation Valentine is a program which provides deployed servicemembers with blank valentines to send home to their loved ones. That is where you can help! By giving a few minutes of your time, you can boost the morale of both our deployed troops overseas and the families who support them on the homefront. Your help will give servicemembers a resource that they would not ordinarily have.

Be a part of something big. Of something warm. Of something filled with love and appreciation.

Resolve to do good in 2010.

Here's how:

1. Design and create a Valentine's Day or love-themed card(s) that is left blank inside. Please, no bulky and/or heavy embellishments.

2. Send your card(s) along with a blank envelope(s) to:

OPERATION VALENTINE

P.O. Box 2290

Rogers, Arkansas 72757-2290

Please Note: Deployed servicemembers send mail home at no cost, so there is no need to add postage to the blank envelope(s).

3. Please have your package postmarked by Friday, January 15, 2010.

4. Are you not crafty? That's okay! You can still help! Leave a comment at http://delaneygates.typepad.com if you'd like to donate toward the cost of postage and the p.o. box.
