Chic and Untroubled

“Winning Top Model is just the beginning, that’s what people don’t realize. You can’t just win and be, like, “stop.” You have to keep going. Jaslene is a great example — she’s working every day, and she’s knocking down doors, and she’s really trying and making it work. You really have to try or otherwise you’ll be just be “that girl from cycle whatever.” We all have such drive, that whoever wins, we’ll be well.”

– Whitney, the latest ANTM winner, On her future career. From The Cut.

California, this is your weekend. New York, be damned!

Not only can you get Hellz Bellz for 75% off, but the ladies of Dimepiece are also practically giving their clothes away for free this weekend in the cities of Cali, too.

On Sunday, Dimepiece is throwing a yard sale and BBQ (Roaring Lion Drinks and good music provided by DJ ERIC) this Sunday at Joyrich from 12-6. Everything — summer 07 and Holiday 07 — will be marked down to 50% off.

Here are the location details:

7700 Melrose Ave in the Back Alley of Joyrich. (The hot pink sign on the corner or Melrose and Spaulding).

Happy shopping.

Do you need another cool limited-edition t-shirt this month?

And I’m not talking about American Apparel’s hypercolor number, which is frighteningly 80s and amazing. (Damn you, Dov Charney, your comfy tops, and your retailer of the year award.)

No, your latest fashion crush comes courtesy of women’s label Hellz Bellz. The brand, along with 10 other labels, has teamed up with Parisian store and web magazine, Black Rainbow, in honor of the celebration of their 1 year anniversary at parisian department store, the Citadium.

The tee features an original Hellz lethal Minnie Mouse design on top of the BKRW label. There are only 50 of these made, so yeah. Act fast.

Anna Wintour foe and celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe wants everyone to dress like her. She’s creating a line of apparel, accessories and undergarments under the Rachel Zoe “brand.” Uh, right. [WWD]

In a word, Chanel’s cruise collection was Ferosh. [WWD]

Cassette Playa has created a sneaker with Nike. And surprise, someone dipped it in neon paint. [Highsnobiety]

This is the promotional picture for MAC’s new “Electroflash” color collection.

The mineralized eyeshadow duos, blushes, etc., have names like Cultueclash, Sonic Vibe, Vanity’s Child, and Li’ Hot Pepper.

While I get the references, I think I would be more inclined to by a product — that I’ll probably lose within a week — if they bore names such as The Party, Pop The Glock, or just plain ole’ Ed Banger.

Henry Holland and Agyness Deyn would have been fine, too.

Meanwhile, I think I have this photo setting on my computer. Is that bad?

Whoah! Who knew V magazine’s model competition would actually produce a viable winner? I thought the ANTM curse applied to all.

Anyways, Amanda Laine, whom took the prize last year, went on to walk the runways of Prada, Balenciaga, and opened Alexander McQueen. Pretty major indeed.

And now the fashion mag is hoping to duplicate Laine’s success by launching their second ever model contest.

From now until July 16th, budding mannequins can submit their pictures and information through an entry form on V magazine’s site.

The prizes: A 3-year contract with Supreme models, a fashion story in V, and more importantly, a trip to New York for a round of castings.

For the voyeurs out there, you can vote for your fav face. But last year the one who received the most votes didn’t win, so….

Good luck everyone, talk to your families about it, and put your health first. The end.
