| Twitter is convinced Fashion Nova is trolling Kim Kardashian and her outfits - Fox News Posted: 11 Dec 2019 11:31 AM PST Fashion Nova apparently has some explaining to do. The popular online fashion store is being called out by Twitter users who say it is clearly trolling Kim Kardashian West and her signature style. Many have noticed that Fashion Nova's model strikingly resembles Kardashian and that some of the outfits it sells look an awful lot like those worn by the reality TV star. KIM KARDASHIAN RETHINKS TAKING BIKINI BODY PHOTOS AT AGE 39 "Fashionnova vs kim kardashian has been one of my favorite low key things of the decade," a Twitter user posted on Tuesday. Another tweet shows side-by-side images of three Fashion Nova models -- though it's not clear if it's the same woman or not -- one of whom is wearing an outfit that is nearly identical to Kardashian's outfit from her fashion line, Skims.  "Fashion nova steals from everyone else," a Twitter user said. (Photo: Fashion Nova) The tweet sparked a flurry of comments from Twitter users, some accusing Fashion Nova of biting Kardashian's style and others defending the fashion brand. "Fashion nova 5 minutes after Kim released her new clothing sets," one person tweeted along with a GIF of an assembly line at a factory. FASHION NOVA SUED OVER JENNIFER LOPEZ' ICONIC VERSACE GRAMMYS GOWN DUPE: REPORT "The devil works hard but fashion nova works harder," another joked. Someone else said, "Fashion nova steals from everyone else anyway. Both frauds." But not everyone agreed with the argument that Fashion Nova was copying Kardashian. "Fashion nova been doing comfy … before skims even announced they were launching this collection," one Twitter user commented.  "It's devastating to see these fashion companies rip off designs that have taken the blood, sweat and tears of true designers," Kardashian tweeted in February.

"There's been websites w this set forever … she just knows she could sell it for way more." Apparently, Kardashian also thinks Fashion Nova, or at least companies like it, uses her likeness to sell products. Earlier this year, she took to Twitter to call out fashion companies for their "rip off designs." "It's devastating to see these fashion companies rip off designs that have taken the blood, sweat and tears of true designers who have put their all into their own original ideas," she tweeted at the time.

| The New ‘Little Women’ Will Make You Want to Wear 1860s Fashion - The Wall Street Journal Posted: 12 Dec 2019 04:21 AM PST  A DELIGHTFUL SCENE in the new adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" depicts the four March sisters cavorting on a New England beach dressed in their summer finery: floral calico fabrics, pie-crust collars and peplums. This quartet of billowing Civil War-era frocks was costume designer Jacqueline Durran's favorite moment in the film (coming Dec. 25), written and directed by Greta Gerwig. "What I did was to create historically accurate pieces but then let them be worn in a way that the girls were comfortable with," explained Ms. Durran. That "looseness in approach" made the outfits modern, she added, though she also particularly loved the suite of beach costumes in part because of their period-appropriateness. However, the outfits look startlingly relevant in 2019. Meg's oversize broderie anglaise collar might have escaped from Miu Miu's 2020 resort collection. And Amy's high-necked ensemble has much in common with the new Batsheva ruffled microfloral midi skirt and top, while Beth's button-front frock eerily recalls Dôen's recent winter collection. The film seems poised to bolster the evolution of 2018's prairie-dress trend into something slightly more sophisticated and nuanced in 2019. The film also treats viewers to more androgynous looks, like Jo's military-inspired jacket and the jaunty layered look at right. Readers, prepare for variations on "Little Women" style everywhere on city streets near you. " 'Despite their historical faithfulness, the outfits look relevant in 2019.' " Katherine Kleveland, half of the sister design duo behind the romantic Los Angeles brand Dôen, pinned a still from the new film to her inspiration wall, nestled among sketches of wide-yoked, ruffled dresses and swatches of ticking stripe and micro chintzes. She and her sister Margaret both identify with the story's protagonist, headstrong Jo March, and loved the 1994 version of the film, whose clothes Ms. Kleveland considers unique in their "relatability" among those of other period-costume dramas. Stylist and editor Leith Clark, known for romantic looks created for both magazine editorials and red carpets (for which she dresses Keira Knightley, among others), agrees that film and TV depictions of willful turn-of-the-century heroines such as Jo March, Laura Ingalls and Anne Shirley of "Green Gables" allowed young women to reimagine traditional garb. These characters, said Ms. Clark, had both "the beautiful dress and the bad temper, which we'd never seen before…It was amazing to see people in dresses with opinions and passion."  Ms. Clark extols the all-day practicality of these looks, which were designed for women who regularly rode horseback and didn't have the dubious luxury of endless fast-fashion wardrobe refreshes. She noted that the collars are comfortably high and the hems comfortably low. "It's elegant enough to wear out to dinner, but it's workable enough to really take you through your day," she said, referencing Jo "dancing and running around in those outfits." As for the throwback nature of these arguably dowdy fashions, Ms. Kleveland said, "We always joke on photoshoots [that] 'modesty is the new sexy,' and I think society is having a moment of yearning for simpler times, especially in the face of the tech revolution." The costume designer Ms. Durran, who is in her 50s, said she is most familiar with the trend from the 1970s, when the calico-and-eyelet look was last in fashion. Ms. Kleveland advised drawing on more contemporary looks from that era when styling "Little Women" ensembles: "If you're wearing one of our very Victorian blouses with a high collar and pronounced sleeves and embroidery, then wear it with a pair of vintage Levi's from the '70s....That is the key—you mix different eras." This holiday break, Ms. Clark plans to dress up in "Little Women"-inflected finery with her mother to go see the film. Though she has no shortage of options, she said she would likely wear her high-necked, brown corduroy Vampire's Wife dress, which despite its relevance to the March family's wardrobe is one of her winter go-tos: The day before we spoke she paired the same dress with buckled Saint Laurent booties and tights. "I guess it won't be that different from what I usually wear," she said with a laugh.

| Cardi B Is Guilty... of the Best-Ever Celebrity Court Fashion - The Daily Beast Posted: 11 Dec 2019 01:03 PM PST  What celebrities wear to court has been the subject of much media scrutiny, with writers (such as this one) choosing to read Felicity Huffman or Lori Loughlin's drab pantsuits as silent, coded statements. But sometimes a tailored pant is just a tailored pant. There's not much to say about it, other than you'd probably wear something similar if you got called for jury duty. Not so with Cardi B. She has been turning up to court as if it is her own personal performance of Hello, Dolly! Cardi most likely knew there would be cameras outside of Queens Criminal Court on Monday, as there have been for her other appearances striding up the stairs that lead into the building. The rapper and Bronx native—real name, Becalis Marlenis Almanzar—has been charged with two misdemeanors, assault and reckless endangerment, after allegedly ordering an attack on two New York bartenders. Cardi B faces the system with the help of her longtime stylist, Kollin Carter, who dutifully chronicles her court outfits on his Instagram with the same enthusiasm he musters when she's posing in custom Thom Brown at the Met Gala. The coat, with its feather-trimmed hood, was designed by Saulo Villela for Adrienne Landau's spring 2020 collection. "I wanted to make a lighter line, something a little bit more ethereal, more whimsical," Villela told The Daily Beast. Villela and Carter have worked together for years, and the stylist asked the designer to pull what he calls The Queen coat for Cardi's court appearance. "I thought, oh great. That sounds like a freaking fierce moment," Villela said. He waited eagerly for the date, making sure to watch as Cardi emerged from her car. "I saw how the coat just never seems to end," Villela said. "I didn't realize how long it was until I saw a video of someone wearing it. She just looked so good, and Kollin does such a great job at styling her. He knows how to put an outfit together." Villela sees no difference between dressing a celebrity for the red carpet or Queens Criminal Court. "Fashion is about making the best out of every moment, you know," he said. "When you get dressed, it's to make yourself feel better, I believe. Whether or not she was having a bad day, this outfit definitely made her feel like the star that she is. That's a good thing." Cardi B has pleaded not guilty for her alleged role in orchestrating a strip club brawl. She has skipped court appearances, declined a plea deal, and requested that proceedings be held later than scheduled, so she'd have time to hop a plane from LA in the morning, after staying up to attend—and pick up four trophies at—the BET Awards. (Naturally, the judge allowed it. Justice may be blind, but she must not be deaf and knows that "I Like It" is a banger.) The Daily Beast's Michael Daly attended court that afternoon, and noted that "the evenness of that rap star voice indicated that she was not in the least bit nervous." The drama and style is very Joan Collins, in her début episode as Alexis in Dynasty, in veiled hat, perfect make-up, and everyone hanging on her every word. Both women's confidence is reflected in their wardrobe. Past dates in front of the bench found her wearing a color-blocked navy and pink pantsuit that was half Hillary, half Vegas, and pure don't mess with me. She also wore a Barbie pink suit, sans top underneath, her chest partly covered by thigh-grazing hair extensions. Another ensemble—an ivory mock-neck tunic with wide-leg trousers peeking from the bottom—projected innocence, but not submission. As Villela said, "She's a fierce, bad bitch. She's such a fashion icon at this point. I really think it's because she's kind of living the fantasy that we all have. We all want to be superstars, we all want to be fierce, we all want to be fashion icons. Everyone's dream is to be that, and I think that she's definitely living that and embracing it." It's a far cry from another famous, but much less celebrated, face seen in court this week, that of disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein, who toddled into a Manhattan court almost horizontally, relying on the assistance of a walker. His attorney, Donna Rotunno, blamed back pain and an impending surgery on his limp. That may be true, but optics-wise, the alleged sexual predator is doing his best to appear weak and defenseless for the cameras. Not Cardi. Her Queens appearance was a bright spot on an otherwise dreary December afternoon. No objections here.  |
